Detroit Lions

Post by wildman49 »

Been a long time fan, also had season tickets during the Barry Sander days. Still have the only playoff win in the Silverdome 1991. Was a great game beating up on Dallas.

Now they going to screw up winning and blow that first round draft pick. :x

The only chance of the Detroit Lions becoming a winning team is if the Ford family sold them. Since buying the team in 1963 they have won 1 playoff game, before Ford ownership the Lions won 4 championships, NFL championships 1935, 1952, 1953, and 1957

I had the privilege that day of telling the Vikings fans that were at the casino that they are now the laughing stock of the NFL for losing to the Detroit Lions.

That Cardinals win was very impressive indeed. It must have been a banner day for the sports books!

I was a big Wings fan in the 90s through the 2000s. Went to the Stanley Cup Finals in 95 when they got swept by New Jersey. 2 weeks later, Scott Stevens, Martin Brodeur and Claude Lemieux all were at a local baseball card show where I had my game 1 ticket autographed by all 3.

Not putting much stock in one wildcard win over 30 years, but good for Detroit. :up:
