Understand that I have been a Detroit Lion fan my whole life. You are born into this, nobody would voluntarily choose this misery. The Lions have never won in my lifetime. They have been rebuilding since 1957. So when Keith Harrison told me the Lions had taken on a UCF flavor, I didn’t know whether to send congrats or sympathy. So, I decided to wait until after the traditional Thanksgiving Day game. True to form, the Lions almost won. This is what they do — they huddle up and figure out a way to almost win.
It is incredibly hard to win a job in the NFL, whether it be on the playing field or the front office. This is reason enough to celebrate these achievements. I can only hope for their sake that this influx of UCFers will help change the culture in Detroit. If these guys can help the Lions win, they can help anyone win. Charge on, guys. Hope to see you at a Superbowl sometime soon. Frankly, I will settle for a playoff game win.
