If Detroit doesn't win Sunday, this Lions fan is gonna look silly

The Cowboys and Lions are about to have their destinies — and histories — collide
One team is using this season to show people that they aren’t who they’ve always been. The other is hoping this postseason won’t end like it usually does — with embarrassment. When Detroit travels to Dallas in two weeks, we’ll have a better idea of which team is destined to repeat history....
The curse of the Detroit Lions may finally be over
This week marks the 60th anniversary of William Clay Ford becoming the majority owner of the Detroit Lions on the same day JFK was assassinated. That inauspicious timing fits the Lions franchise. The Kennedy family curse has nothing on the Ford family’s. Between 1952 and 1962, Detroit had won three ...

Dan Campbell and the Detroit Lions won a game that mattered
Sometimes overreactions are appropriate. And in the case of Dan Campbell and the Detroit Lions, they’ve earned every hysterical and asinine hot take fans and analysts will make about them Friday morning — and maybe throughout the rest of the season. It’s time to drink the Kool-Aid. The Lions are leg...
Can the Detroit Lions live up to all the hype around them this season?
The Detroit Lions enter the 2023 NFL season on a wild hype train of high hopes and expectations after finishing strong last year, winning five of their final six games.

Not all of Dan Campbell’s motivational tactics are permissible
It appears that Dan Campbell did not take in all of the lessons from the early COVID pandemic classic, The Tiger King.

Jordan Love seems a bit confused on Bears-Packers rivalry
The Jordan Love era has begun in Green Bay with Aaron Rodgers now playing for the New York Jets, and it might already be off to a lousy start months before any real games are played. Love posted a quick Twitter video wishing Chicago Bears fans a happy Father’s Day. If that isn’t weird enough, it’s u...
The Detroit Lions are going for it — and why not?
When you have as many picks in the first three rounds of the NFL Draft as the Detroit Lions did — six in all — it’s easy to wager them like house money. Reach on a second-round running back at No. 12? Sure. Take a linebacker who wasn’t predicted in the first round of any of the 38,000 mock drafts? S...

What if Aaron Rodgers to New York is just a big April Fools' joke?
Aaron Rodgers is still the quarterback for the Green Bay Packers.

It's always sunny in the Motor City?
The early returns of NFL free agency are here, and the clear winner is the Detroit Lions — at least according to the media’s reaction.
