It's like having a rivalry with Lil' BUB.

Except Lil' BUB fights through adversity and is lovable and the Lions are garbage in every way

So... I've watched every Lions game in my adult life, but, I dont know, poo poo, I'm really tempted to just watch red zone during Lions games now.

I haven't watched them this season outside of maybe the first half on their SNF game and I'm no worse for it. Then again I live out of state and only have basic cable so w/e. That's secretly one of the worst side-effects of the Lions being dependably trash for so long, their games never get broadcast outside of MI and whatever region their opponent is in so I never get to watch them unless it's a national game or I happen to live there. Then again when I lived outside of Indy for a few years, the one game they played against the Colts was that awful 14 points in three minutes comeback by Luck :barf: So perhaps that's for my own good.

Also why the hell are we talking about the stupid Lions at 4 AM

I wish their uniforms were a slightly darker shade of blue, because it's almost perfect but as it stands now it's just bad.

Which I guess sums up the franchise as a whole.

what I do is watch redzone on one screen and the dolphins on the other

that way I am still "a real fan" but I don't end up "dead on the couch from a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head"

I have that set-up when watching at my brother-in-laws house. After the first quarter of the Cowboys game, I turned to him and said "Got any scotch?"

Cheer up, man. They have one on every year. All you have to do is turn on the tv and watch. This year the Seahawks will probably avenge their loss to the Patriots. I hope you enjoy it!

On the other hand 90 year old Martha Ford has apparently been giving the league poo poo at the last few owners' meetings, which is an amusing image if nothing else.

Don't have kids. If you do, the goal will become "maybe they'll see a Super Bowl before they die" and then the situation and realization that no they won't will be even sadder

Nah. If all else fails the Lions will beat the Packers in Detroit. They've done that pretty reliably over the past few years.

3-2 in the current decade (4-6 for the past ten years) isn't really all that reliable, and the Lions of 2013 and 2014 were significantly better than the 2015 Lions.

I'm not saying it's out of the realm of possibility, mind you.

Meh, after their 0-16 season I felt bad for them and thought, "wouldn't it be great if they won just one season?" but then there was Jim Schwartz and Suh stomping on a center's chest on Thanksgiving Day and I've learned my lesson; gently caress mercy, gently caress pity, and gently caress the Lions forever.

Do it, it's the best thing ever to only have to watch the Lions for a maximum of five minutes.


Also I am not a big fan of the incessant crowing of Packers fans in this thread.
