The Detroit Lions and the Super Bowl: A Match Made in... Neverland?
Let's be honest, Detroit Lions fans, this is a question that gets asked more often than "who put the roar in the roar of the crowd?" The answer, like a fumble recovered in the end zone for a safety, is zero. That's right, zilch, nada. The Lions haven't waltzed into a Super Bowl since the game was invented, which, let's face it, feels like a personal attack on the city of Detroit's resilience.
But fear not, fellow fans! Here at the Department of Optimism for Feline Football Fans, we choose to see the glass as half full. Here's why:
Tip: Break it down — section by section.
At least we're consistent! Unlike some teams (cough, cough, the Jets), the Lions bring the same level of excitement year after year. You always know what you're getting: a rollercoaster ride of hope, despair, and enough Honolulu Blue Kool-Aid to fuel a small army.
We've got history (just not the recent kind). Back in the black and white days, before disco and shoulder pads, the Lions were actually champions! They snagged four NFL championships before the Super Bowl era. So technically, they have been to the big game... just a different kind of big game.
The anticipation is delicious! Every season is a chance to witness history, to be the generation that breaks the curse. Imagine the parades! The national media frenzy! Detroit would become the epicenter of the sporting universe, and you, my friend, would be there to say "I told you so!"
Now, while we wait with bated breath for that glorious day, let's address the burning questions:
QuickTip: Pay close attention to transitions.
