    Ha ha,yeah. Its been rough for them.

    I'll be honest, I'm not 100 percent sure why I suddenly really like them. Maybe its Megatron, maybe its Reggie bush, Matt Stafford? Hell,maybe I just like the logo. Ha ha, who knows.

    Maybe I'm a gluten for punishment? Dunno. But I'm liking this team.

      Welcome Hircine. Here's some info for you:

      An Unloyal Act

      In 1958, after leading the Lions to 3 NFL Championships and providing Detroit nearly decade of Hall of Fame play, the Lions traded Bobby Layne. Bobby was injured during the last championship season and the Lions thought he was through and wanted to get what they could for him. According to Legend, as he was leaving for Pittsburgh Bobby said that Detroit "would not win for 50 years". In the pages that follow we present evidence that supports and confirms the existence of this curse which has been plaguing this team for nearly half a century. If you don't believe in curses, you will!
      In addition you will find a wealth of information about the Detroit Lions, their history, statistical databases, concrete proof of the curse, and many funny and sad stories of the "Curse of Bobby Layne". If you think the Lions have hit bottom now, check out our Lion Humiliations page to refresh your memory a bit.
      http://www.curseofbobbylayne.com/index2.html


      This page is a bit old I think, but you could look through it and get some laughs, or tears if you've been a Lions fan for a long time.

      The good news is that it's now been 55 years since the curse, so the Lions are poised to win soon. Unless you take the view that it's the Ford family's fault that the Lions are consistently bad.

      Also, I can't wait to see CGVT's post.

        We should play "predict the Cgvt post" LFIJ.

        I'll try:

          That's pretty spot on. How about, "GTFA (go the fuck away) while you still can."

              Welcome Hircine.

              If you have a masochistic streak within, you will do well as a Lions fan.

              If you are looking for an NFL team that is consistently competitive and want to have something to cheer about most games, you might be better off finding another franchise.

              Good thing is CJ and Stafford will be around for a while.

              Bad thing is WCF Sr. will be also. (......although, I was conversing with a security guard at FF on Monday and he said Sr. was in attendance last Sunday and in his own words said he looked "a little long in the tooth").
              I long for a Lions team that is consistently competitive.

                    Welcome Hircine. Misery loves company.

                    As the self appointed, second assistant to the deputy liaison of the Noob Council acting Vice President, I just want to make sure you are aware of the forum categories you may choose from:

                    1. Kool-Aid Manufacturer. Your duties include presenting raw, usually flawed, data to defend (name any player, coach, or owner here) blindly. Be sure to use small sample sizes, misleading stats, and/or outliers to baffle, disgust, and/or tire the opposing viewer. Extra credit is given for guaranteeing superbowl victories using your strategery.

                    2. Kool Aid Pusher. Back up any and all comments on how this is “his” season; this is “their” year. You receive extra credit for emotional rants, no facts, and frequent expletives. It would help if you own at least one undergarment with a Lions emblem. If unable to make a solid football point, be sure to mention work ethic, good guy ability, community leadership, and other acts of off the field humanity as a distraction.

                    3. Kool Aid Denial Specialist. Under no circumstances will you ever admit a light at the end of the Honolulu blue tunnel. You will stand fast while explaining that this team will go 0-16 regardless of any previous wins. You will predict injuries to body parts not yet discovered and you will NOT, for any reason, accept any success was due to anything other than another team giving the Lions a gift.

                    4. Self Important Ranter. This duty includes long winded posts that will undoubtedly go unread. At no time, will a fact, stat, or basic common knowledge football point be made. Point out easy targets such as refs, announcers, opposing team QBs and feel free to bring their mothers into the conversation. A nice touch is to number your bullets, use run on sentences, and suck the very life from all other forumites with each word typed.

                    5. Mandatory, all duty positions will suffer the losses, celebrate the wins, and interact in any way you see fit by disregarding the aforementioned categories.

                    Side note: I hear there is a boobie thread somewhere.
                    Where are we going; and what's up with this hand basket?

                          Haha, you guys are doing a good job selling the team ;)

                          But in all earnest, would you recommend rooting for the team? Or am I just going to have heartache?

                                The Lions are a team you will love to hate or hate to love.
                                Ordering a steak and it shows up overcooked. Stubbing your toe on brand new furniture. Receiving a gift basket but someone ate the fancy turtles. Making it to her second base but realizing you reached home plate five minutes ago. Hitting the apex of a roller coaster but losing your wallet on the way down. Catching a foul ball but spilling your beer in the process.
                                If you want exciting potential and a pending prescription to Prozac, this is your team. If you want a storied perennial winner go with the Steelers, Giants, Bears?.errr.
                                Regardless of who pees in the pool, the Lions water is warm, come on in!
                                PS, I did mention the boobie thread, right?
