Already sick of the Lions

[Guest]

It pisses me off how an overrated 3-0 team is getting twice the love out playoff-bound and beyond Tigers are. These "fans" were nowhere to be found the last 10 years but now they are the biggest superfans in football. What a joke.

I Agree 100%. Don't look at my screen name.

Don't worry, I am not a Lions fan either. I do not hate them, but I jumped ship after the 2005 season. People were expecting playoffs and I think they won like 4 games. I hopped on the Chargers bandwagon and am there for life.

Wish you would have hopped off the Tigers bandwagon during the 90's and early 2000s.

I think if you go to the Lions board, you will see some of the most passionate Lions fans anywhere. Whether or not anyone was watching them as closely and rooting for them from when you say, as much as now, the fan base has alot of hope with the coach and GM and great young talent.
Not every one can stay with a team that was bad for a long time. Those that did are real true lifetime fans, those that lost the love for them while going through the many lean years, I can't hold it against them, and would welcome them back. I don't think there are many, if any, that ever left or stopped hope on the Lions board here that moved from the espn board 2 months ago.

Yup, read this thread and was going to jump all over the OP, but no ones opinion gets held over anyone elses' here IMO..

Think what you want, fairweather fans will never be exposed, unless they inadvertently expose themselves by their obvious lack of knowledge in recent (last decade or two) team history.

I am first and foremost a Tigers fan, but never stopped being a Lions fan, except intentionally for just one season ('07). I also follow the Red Wings and Pistons, but being a fan of the Red Wings is easy, while remaining hardcore with the Pistons (and the lousy NBA for that matter) is difficult.

WHat a joke of a thread this is.. Sure the Tigers should get more love than the Lions, but this is a very good start to an otherwise down franchise.. And also, way to jump bandwagons dude..

It happens w/most every team in all sports. Look at the Pistons. When they were winning, the Palace was jammed. The last couple yrs, they've been prac giving tickets away. Also football has become king as far as sports go.

Sorry to disappoint you pal. Tigers baseball is historic and meaningful in this state as opposed to the NFL's version of the Clippers.

Yeah, well...I remember a few years ago when people were getting ready for the playoffs after a 6-2 start.

10 years ago you were in the 3rd or 4th grade.
If you want to know what the Lions fans were doing were doing, check in on the Lions board and tell them how you feel.
They will treat you real nice.

So why bother to bring the Lions or their fans up at all?

Like it or not the Lions DO have a football history and while not exactly "recent", they also had a decade of success in the 50s, unlike for example, the Cubs, with 100+ seasons of futility. Even the White/Red Sox could not muster a single championship season, post WWI, during the 20th century. The Indians last won it all in 1948, and the Browns in 1964, so it isn't like the Lions are "unique".

Do you actually think that the Lions do not deserve, nor should any topics/threads be posted or even a mention whatsoever on a Detroit sports board?

The opposite of being a fan of a team would be complete indifference to them. You, however, apparently hate them/it and believe that there is no such thing as a "real" fan of the franchise.

So, we are all on the bandwagon, huh?

I love getting reported and having posts removed, some of you idiots are just too easy. That's just our society today I guess, cry and bitch when someone says something you disagree with so you have to report it. Pathetic...

 

[dpinsea]

What do you expect when you post anti lions stuff on a detroit board? Take that shit to nfl general or atleast the lions board.

This was the third time you ignored what I posted and/or quoted to you.
Nobody bitched or reported anything, I removed your post. You come over here and start shit about the Lions here, and don't have the testicular fortitude to go to the Lions board and start your whining about their fans. and to top it off insult regular posters here.
Are you and I and everyone else here going to have a problem with you.

Do we have a problem.

Yes, it is crap that the Tigers are thrown under the rug come September, despite being arguably the best team in the American League. It is crap a playoff team does not get the attention it deserves, while a mediocre 3-0 NFL team is being treated like they are the sports kings of this state despite having 1 playoff win in 50 years. I vented on this board because I assumed many other Tigers fans were as upset as I was that this was happening. Ignore the fact I was insulted because I don't have the post count some others do, sorry to everyone that I have a life and am not a "regular poster." Damn, I should rethink some things and get my priorities straightened out. I'm thinking I may just drop out of school and quit my job so I can be a respected "regular," that way I can feel worthwhile while sitting on my computer 15 hours a day.

Good day.

Why would someone report a clown like you? You're one in a million, bro.
