The Detroit Lions

[Funk]

No one should feel bad because no matter how much you think life sucks there is no way that it sucks worse than the Detroit Lions.

GO SEAHAWKS

THAT WAS A VERY CONVINCING WIN

So, how about that Joey Harrington, Funk? Your favorite guy in the world eh? Bet you were sad to see him go.

It's funny cos I rooted for him in college in Oregon where he was awesome.

Then he went to the pros.

Yep.

Re: The Detroit Lions

No matter how much potential a quarterback has, it will never flourish in Detroit. The Lions are a quarterback-breaker.

Re: The Detroit Lions

So? You've got one of the great dynasties in the history of hockey, your basketball team is constantly going deep into the playoffs, and your baseball team is one of the best in the league this season. You cant have everything!

You're like those people in Chicago who won like 20 straight NBA championships, but all they ever talk about is how the Cubs never win!

Re: The Detroit Lions

Any player, upon joining the Detroit Lions, will immediately become a mediocre player. It is a physical law of the universe. It is impossible to be successful as a Lion. Barry Sanders tried to break the law and it damaged him so much that he had to retire. The Universe would not allow a Lion to capture the rushing title. It was unnatural.

And yet, every week I watch them play. And 7 times out 10 I still have a faint flicker of hope that they'll pull the game out in the last few minutes. Being a Detroit Lions fan is like having a mental disease. It should nearly be a qualification for mental illness.

True.

Your basketball team is constantly going deep into the playoffs

Yeah. Every decade or so they do that.

And your baseball team is one of the best in the league this season.

Yeah, and two years ago they flirted with the worst record in MLB history. They are already starting to blow it this year, though.

You cant have everything!

Hey, you don't think it would be cool to see one city take home the four major trophies in American sports? It would be unprecedented.

Re: The Detroit Lions

Yeah, and Chicago just stole Detroit's 'fro, so they're not playoff bound anymore.

Also, everyone is a Cubs fan in Chicago because you don't run the risk of getting shot, robbed, or stabbed going to a home game, unlike going to a Sox game at Comiskey.

The Bears did a bang up job on Favre, and handed him his first shutout. Retire, ya geezer! I mean, Favre used to be awesome...used to be.

Re: The Detroit Lions

Don't worry Funk, one day I will join all four leagues in a city and make that happen. And that year, the Chinese calendar will add a 13th year and it will be called "The Year of the Smurvis", to be celebrated every 13 years. Thus, I will be the second Pavilionite to be on the Chinese calendar, with Ryner being the first for having "The Year of the ****." (apparantly it bleeps it out for obvious reasons, but it's rooster)

Re: The Detroit Lions

Smurvis, your words continue to make me hard.

Re: The Detroit Lions

I get that a lot.

And by a lot, I mean once.

Re: The Detroit Lions

Hey now, I like the DL.



Because Lions are cool...Ya, I just like their mascot, and the fact that the ony time I even see football on TV is Thanksgiving, it's usually the DL vs somebody...

[Funk]

Re: The Detroit Lions

Yeah, and Thanksgiving is about the only time that the Lions can win!

[Red Dragon]

Re: The Detroit Lions

Thanksgiving is an American tradition, The Detroit Lions win on Thanksgiving, Thus America loves the Detroit Lions.

[Funk]

Re: The Detroit Lions

I, too, love the Detroit Lions. They are like a poor little puppy that cannot get up on the couch no matter how hard it tries. Unfortunately, I cannot myself pick up the Lions and put them up there.
