Did the Lions Actually Play Last Night? Hold Your Honolulu Blue Horses...
Die-hard Detroit Lions fan? Casual observer with a sudden craving for kneecaps and Hail Marys? Buckle up, because we're here to answer the question that's likely keeping you up past your bedtime (or maybe that's just the existential dread...it's a Detroit thing). The answer? Nope, the Lions weren't clawing their way to victory (or, more likely, an honorable defeat) last night.
But fear not, fellow fans! While the roar of the crowd at Ford Field was replaced by the gentle hum of crickets (or maybe that was just Matthew Stafford reminiscing from a California beach chair), the season is still a-coming. Mark your calendars for August 8th, because that's when the Detroit Lions will grace us with their presence in a pre-season throwdown against the New York Giants.
Tip: Revisit challenging parts.
In the meantime, why not delve into some fun facts about America's favorite underdog (underdog...mostly because the betting lines know better)?
QuickTip: Revisit posts more than once.
- Did you know the Lions once had a perfect season? Well, almost. In 1952 they went 9-3, but then lost the NFL Championship game. Moral of the story: close only counts in horseshoes and hand grenades (and apparently not the NFL).
- Speaking of horseshoes, did you also know the Lions have a horseshoe logo? It's supposed to bring good luck. Let's just say the jury's still out on that one.
