>>359471 They've won one playoff game; it was all the way back in 1991. That is the only playoff win from 58-08. The Lions just have a retarded owner, had a retarded GM, and have been and always will be the shitty team in town. No wonder my dad, a guy who fucking grew up on 8 Mile (I am not shitting you on this; his house was a hell hole) loved the Wings, loved the Tigers, loved the Pistons, but hated the Lions, to the point that he became a Steelers fan, because he felt they actually represented athletes actually trying to do something other than suck.
Semirelated: he mentioned being at a Thanksgiving Day game for the Lions back in the early seventies in Detroit at Tiger Stadium for free, and mentioned how the Lions often had to give away assloads of tickets for free, even for games against their rivals, and even on Thanksgiving games, to get Tiger Stadium close to full. He said he only thinks people showed up at Lions games in the last 30 years because the NFL's popularity in general, and not the Lions. Hell, Detroit is the one place fans of the visiting teams will outnumber fans of the home team at the games; thats how much the Lions suck.
