Every one of us has that special Lions fan in their life. I happen to have a few. With the wounds still open and bloodied, the season-ending loss to the Washington Commanders perplexing if not nausea-inducing, I asked dear friends Continue reading Detroit Lions fans sound off
As with any change in command, I reached out to Kevin at The Wife Hates Sports, giving him a conciliatory and congratulatory phone call for his season’s success. He edged me out in this year’s pick ‘em contest, the bastard. Continue reading The Most Important Football Draft Ever: A Playoff Contest
