  • BaronVonTito, on 09/27/2009, -5/+100I liked in the postgame when one of the players poured a water bottle over the coach. It was a nice touch.
  • XenoSNK, on 09/27/2009, -13/+105A baby lion walks into child services. The man at the desk is trying to help him figure out where he should stay. So he asks him if he can stay with his dad. The baby lion says "No, I don't want to stay with daddy, he beats me."

    So the child services man naturally says he should stay with his mother. The lion responds "No, I don't want to stay with mommy, she beats me harder."

    Confused, the child services clerk asks him who he does want to stay with. The lion says "I want to stay with the Detroit Lions. They don't beat anyone."
  • chrisvanhorn, on 09/27/2009, -11/+82The Lions won a football game!

    In other news; Hell has frozen over! Snowball's chance increases dramatically!
  • nertil1, on 09/27/2009, -3/+62I'm from Detroit and I just tell people we don't have football team, they must be mistaken.
  • smacksaw, on 09/27/2009, -6/+53Lions fans, you may thank me for this. I busted out my vintage Barry Sanders jersey and wore it to the sports bar to the ridicule and laughter of many, but I wore it proudly and gave karma to your lowly team. You earned a win and I earned free drinks from smack-talking Vikings fans.

  • mejf2loy, on 09/27/2009, -2/+41I also thought Detroit had a bunch of car companies too, I was mistaken.
  • vkuuumar, on 09/27/2009, -15/+53Redskins are horrible, was it a surprise?
  • portnoy, on 09/27/2009, -1/+37I hate to admit it (as a lifelong Lions fan) but dammit, that was pretty funny.
  • bigbadgoat, on 09/28/2009, -0/+36Detroit still has the Red Wings.

    Last time I checked they were the most successful team in the last 2 decades, and just made the finals the past two years.
  • Zegarek, on 09/27/2009, -4/+35For today there is! Go Lions!
  • zigidabuzz1989, on 09/28/2009, -0/+30The blackout radius is 75 miles for the NFL. That would be a hell of a walk.
  • one1plus1one, on 09/27/2009, -5/+35Good for them.

    Detroit needs this good news, and every citizen of Detroit can relish in this comeback victory.

    The citizens of Detroit have gone through so much difficulty, and hardship, with large neighborhoods of their city looking like the apocalypse, through global economic effects that were beyond the control of the average Detroit citizen.

    While New Orleans was ravaged and partially destroyed by meteorological events beyond their control, Detroit was hit by economic events... thus more than any other major cities in the USA, I'd like to see both Detroit and New Orleans have some exciting NFL news this season.
  • Asrrin29, on 09/28/2009, -0/+26Funny thing is, Hell is an hour or two drive from Detroit and it snows there almost every year.
  • wilf_brim, on 09/28/2009, -1/+26Tampa Bay fans can breathe easy: their streak remains safe.
  • Gndoab, on 09/27/2009, -3/+27I'm talking about the redskins
  • one1plus1one, on 09/27/2009, -5/+29I also thought Detroit was a part of Western Civilization, where law and order prevailed above all else, and people could freely walk about in safety and pursue their own destiny.
  • BaronVonTito, on 09/27/2009, -2/+24Might I introduce you to the New York Knicks?
  • inactive, on 09/28/2009, -0/+21So are the Cleveland Browns officially the worst team in the NFL?

    Signed, a Browns fan. :(
  • lamprey187, on 09/28/2009, -1/+22old as the internets.
  • adremali, on 09/27/2009, -5/+22hahahahahahahahahhahahahhahahahahah
  • pilzburybizkit, on 09/28/2009, -1/+18Nope. Sorry you must be mistaken.
  • schlagsahne, on 09/27/2009, -1/+17how bout the Pittsburgh Pirates?
  • KustomKid, on 09/28/2009, -0/+16The Lions are horribler. It was a surprise.
  • kjones555, on 09/27/2009, -4/+19hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

    *breathes in*

    HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!
  • packy17, on 09/27/2009, -5/+19As a Redskins fan, I'd like to congratulate the Lions. They played a great game, and we played poorly. I know they lost every game last year... but this is NOT the same team. A lot of the organization is new. Detroit really needed this win with all of the other things happening in thatcity today. Nice play, Lions... Nice play.
  • cmotdibbler, on 09/28/2009, -2/+15I think Kool-Aid would have been more appropriate.
  • BedPost, on 09/28/2009, -1/+13Dude. I take the Browns to the super bowl every day, right before my first class. Around the same time I drop the kids off at the pool.
  • CLucas916, on 09/27/2009, -2/+13I chuckled.
  • Acksull, on 09/28/2009, -2/+13My Rams are at 13 straight losses as of today. Wooo Go Rams!? Here we come Detroit!
  • Chakat, on 09/28/2009, -1/+11It's what they get for leaving LA. Since the Rams left, no NFL team from LA has lost a game.
  • Rahodeb, on 09/28/2009, -0/+10meow
  • Gndoab, on 09/27/2009, -11/+21someone *needs* to get fired.
  • lamprey187, on 09/28/2009, -2/+12seems it was just you.
  • ell0bo, on 09/28/2009, -0/+9They also now have the same record as the Steelers
  • IneedaSN, on 09/28/2009, -1/+10Frozen body found in Detroit elevator shaft
    It takes three calls to authorities over two days before man removed


    http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/28916090/
  • smashTasker, on 09/27/2009, -2/+10The LA Clippers
  • BedPost, on 09/28/2009, -0/+8Jim Zorn.
  • blaket, on 09/28/2009, -0/+8As a lifelong Redskins fan I have to agree. Dan Snyder (may he burn up in a fire) has put together another horrid team.
  • pinchduck, on 09/28/2009, -0/+7Forward down the field,
    A charging team that will not yield.
    And when the blue and silver wave,
    Stand and cheer the brave.
    Rah, Rah, Rah...
  • buzaman, on 09/27/2009, -11/+18The Super Bowl is next!
  • Sploxy, on 09/27/2009, -1/+8justin.tv next time.
  • inactive, on 09/28/2009, -0/+7FARK headlines are funny!
  • UNL1M1T3D, on 09/28/2009, -0/+6Yeah they won the cup in 07-08 and made it to game 7 last year. The Red Wings are about the only good reliable thing in this town.
  • SpamDog, on 09/27/2009, -2/+8ummm... after last season A LOT of people were fired.
  • Wreckage, on 09/27/2009, -4/+10Figures, they could have finally been 1st place in something (longest losing streak), but noooo.
  • smacksaw, on 09/27/2009, -0/+6myp2p
  • Chewie67, on 09/28/2009, -1/+7The Redskins absolutely SUCK.

    I, for one, love it.
  • aaronhoffmeyer, on 09/28/2009, -0/+5L.A. Jaguars coming soon!
