Where the Wild Things Are (Wins and Losses, That Is)
The good news: As of today, July 11th, 2024 (yes, it's still the offseason, settle down), the Lions are sitting pretty at the top of the NFC North with a stellar record of... wait for it... drumroll please... an undefeated 12-5 (because, well, it's still hypothetical)!
Tip: Read at your own pace, not too fast.
The not-so-good news (but mostly playful teasing): Hold on there, Mr./Ms. Optimism McSparkles. This is the Detroit Lions we're talking about. Remember the whole "history" thing I mentioned? Yeah, that includes a healthy dose of heartbreak and near misses. But hey, that's what keeps things interesting, right? *Right?

Reminder: Short breaks can improve focus.
- Honolulu Blue: The official (and amazing) color of the Lions.
- Ford Field: Their not-so-humble abode.
- The Honolulu Blue Kool-Aid: The delicious (and sometimes potent) drink of choice for eternal optimists.

Disclaimer: I'm not a psychic, so please don't blame me if the "Same old Lions" crowd comes out in full force.
