Techno is better than house but footwork is better than ghettotech and the Lions are better and more gritty than the bears. Both citys are better than anything in ohio or indiana.

There are two paths to being a proper young Detroiter:
1. Get a job at Quicken Loans out of college, amazed at how quickly you can build up cash, living like a king in your midtown apartment. After four months of being ground into paste by the soul-crushing reality of working for Dan Gilbert's predatory loan company, quit and become a bartender or join a start-up.
2. Move to a blighted neighborhood and become an urban gardener and/or artist. Scrape by with just enough money to eat and pay cheap rent. It's a rough way to live but morally superior to option 1.

Packers just wear their away jersey which I already own a couple of. That doesn't really count though I guess.

The Lions had a black color rush jersey last season that was never worn on the field, and the team didn't want to wear it on the field. But, it was promoted and for sale in the team store, despite never actually being worn.

OK, they are not just the best team in Detroit, they are by far the most competent team in Detroit. Dark times indeed.

Are they by far the most competent? I know the pistons didn't do so hot last year but did they have an egregious off-season or something? Either way, I'm pretty sure it's still a sign of the end times.

The Pistons will stink as long as Andre Drummond is your franchise player.

Andre Drummond is not a franchise player, neither is Justin Abdelkader.

"I would have won the race but for that."
The Red Wings are in a death spiral as long as Holland is in charge. Pistons are screwed because the NBA is turning into a league of a few super teams and unless you draft a couple super stars you're not luring that kind of talent to Detroit. Tigers have an idiot in charge of their team now and the owner who wanted to spend to win died.

Yeah, I'd say the Lions are best and most competent, and it's not even really close right now.
