Re: Ok, now who you got for Heisman?
Because I enjoyed being able to make fun of another franchise, instead of always being laughed at. I'm a Mets, Jets, Knicks fan. I don't get to mock other people very often. The Lions were my one chance to be the bully.

It's the blind squirrel analogy.
Bobby Beathard drafted Junior Seau and Jamal Williams.

Just pick on the Raiders. They're always good for a laugh.

Lions....fans? Do those words go together still? No, seriously, I don't watch Lions games, are there still significant amounts of fans showing up?
Re: Ok, now who you got for Heisman?
Wasn't Jamal a supplemental pick? That took a little effort to call!

The Lions have one of the strongest fan bases in the NFL.
They sell out games almost every week.
With as horrible as the franchise has been what does that tell you about their fan base?

Bengals, Rams, and... Cowboys ARE always Gold even when their "fans" are calling them to win the SB every year.

Very true.
In this instance the nut was placed in the blind squirrel's lap.

Didn't know that. I'm impressed. I certainly would have trouble dealing with that long a run of lack of success. Then again, as I said, I've spent most of my life rooting for shitty teams....

Even stupid gets lucky sometimes. Take CJ having a winning record in any sim league, for example. :eek:
