So, Yeah, The Big Lions Fan Put A Gun To His Head After Today's Loss
"Grab a gun. C'mon, let's get this over with," said that weird Big Lions Fan who had the whole Creedence thing going on during his post-game wrapup. He was kidding, and urged fellow Lions fans not to jump, while still brandishing his piece. Which was very nice of him....
