Ordering a steak and it shows up overcooked.

More like there are several great bites of it but also some really annoying gristle, bone and hair too.

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?

Well, Im already on prozac, so.......

As far as the Bears, steelers, and giants go: I never really had a affinity for the Bears. Maybe I should research them more, but I'm just not feeling them. (I think the Chicago Blackhawk are cool, though. But thats hockey. )

The steelers were the other team I was considering WAS the steelers, mainly due to there history.

And the giants: no......... Just....... God, no.

The Bears may make sense. I am a fan of the Chicago Bulls, and I do like the black Hawks. But couldn't I like the lions and see like the bulls and Blackhawks? They are different sports.

My bad. I didn't hit the sarcasm font on the Steelers, Giants, Bears comment. I am pretty sure there is an innerwebs law stating something about being a Chicago fan and a Detroit fan simultaneously. I can't help you with the hockey as I was not aware there is any other team in the NHL other than the Wings. In fact, until this year, I didn't realize there was an Eastern Conference. Can't comment on the basketball either. I know Detroit used to have a pro team but I think they disappeared somewhere in the early 90's.

If it's bandwagon fun you are looking for, I think the Peyton Express out of Denver is picking up passengers.

^^^ LMFAO ^^^ Superb. Trickalicious.

Post of the year, by a distance.

I 2nd the notion.

All in favor say, "aye"

I don't want to bandwagon. I just want to find my team. Its hard because I hate all the California teams,which is where I live.

[Malto Marko]

Aye!

Nice, Trick.

[FVD]

Jump on the Lions bandwagon now before its filled up with people that like the New York Yankees! This is the year! The bar is high! Pound the rock! Brush those teeth!

[Tony G]

Hircine, where in Cali are you?

[LionsFanInJapan]

Aye. Is Trick related to Kansas?

The correct verbiage is:

POUND THAT BUSH!

Jesus kid....do your self a favor and run away....screaming. This team is heartache after heartache. Even after an amazing win the general consensus is that this team is shit. Things could be worse though.

You could cheer for the Vikings....that would suck. Fuck the Vikings.

On the bright side though, it looks like their owner is a crook, so they might end up playing in LA if the stadium thing falls through. If they do, I expect you to show up to every game with a sign that reads, "FUCK THE VIKINGS"

Make yourself at home if you have thick skin, and stay off of CGVT's lawn.

and don't expect a win next week....this team sucks.

[Hircine]

Hircine, where in Cali are you?

I'm like 30 minutes away from Los Angeles. No football team :(

[Marko69]

The sign Islair speaks of........, be sure to make the sign saying:

ISLAIR SAYS......., "FUCK THE VIKINGS!"

He owns that saying!

[Trickalicious]

Look, he is on Prozac, hates Cali teams, and loves Megatron. If that isn't on the official Lions fan requirements card, it should be.

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.

THAT. WAS. AWESOME.
