  • briguymich, on 12/28/2008, -3/+332Well, at least they won a place in History.
  • MrSilverblood, on 12/28/2008, -1/+255Their mantra for next season will be "Well, it can't get any worse!"
  • PrairieDoggin, on 12/29/2008, -5/+213Maybe the NFL will bail them out and let them play some high school teams next year.
  • zirtbow, on 12/29/2008, -1/+160Taken from another digg comment post....

    Once upon a time, there was a mommy lion, a daddy lion, and a baby lion. The mommy lion and the daddy lion were having lots of fights, so they decided to get a divorce. The next day, the pride sought the counsel of the wise old jungle owl to decide custody of the baby lion.

    The owl asked the baby lion, "Do you want to live with mommy lion?" The baby lion answered, "No - she beats me."

    The owl said, "All right then, do you want to live with daddy lion?" The baby lion replied, "No - he beats me worse."

    The owl responded, "Well, who DO you want to live with then?" The baby lion answered, "The Detroit Lions. They don't beat anybody."
  • method7670, on 12/29/2008, -0/+141the only NFL franchise who can consistently get top 10 draft picks and manage to do worse.
  • RizzoFrank, on 12/29/2008, -0/+1212008 Preseason Champs! 4-0
  • Chakz, on 12/29/2008, -9/+105I like the part where they didn't win any games.
  • CactusChef, on 12/29/2008, -5/+97LOLions!
  • inactive, on 12/29/2008, -3/+92Did you watch the Dallas/Philadelphia game? Dallas looked almost as bad as the Lions.
  • zero, on 12/29/2008, -1/+62Finally they did something right. Now we have the first draft pick and can ruin the life and career of some poor college star.
  • treas, on 12/29/2008, -7/+57the salty tears of patriots fans everywhere.


    DELICIOUS.
  • cheese0089, on 12/29/2008, -0/+48When the buccaneers went win less in the 70's the coach was asked about his teams execution and his response was "I'm in favor of it".
  • Shaggy3, on 12/29/2008, -1/+45so we no can haz play offs?
  • Skab, on 12/29/2008, -3/+47Least we still got hockey.
  • Nateon, on 12/29/2008, -3/+44Hey, The Red Wings won the Stanley Cup last season!
  • AmyVernon, on 12/29/2008, -1/+40Exactly; if you're going to tank, tank all the way.
  • inactive, on 12/29/2008, -0/+38If you're gonna suck...suck the best! Go Detroit!
  • icabodane, on 12/29/2008, -6/+44He refers to a sport called 'Hockey'... It is that thing they do in Detroit because they don't have a pro football team.
  • inactive, on 12/29/2008, -4/+41Least they didn't choke finishing off a perfect season like the Pats did.
  • jotate, on 12/29/2008, -1/+36Watched it with glee. I hate the god damn Cowboys. Almost entirely for the simple fact that they kicked ass in the 90s and everyone I knew in middle school (in ***** Ohio) jumped on their band wagon. ***** that.

    You're raised in Ohio? You love the Bengals or the Browns. You cry yourself to sleep every night from September to December but you're a better person for it, god damn it.
  • ickybod, on 12/29/2008, -5/+39Can't Detroit do anything right this year?
  • NoLibertarians, on 12/29/2008, -1/+33Soon Kitna will predict a 10 victory season next year !
  • Ohill, on 12/29/2008, -1/+32uhh the Red Wings.
  • legoalert33, on 12/29/2008, -11/+42Lets go Red Wings!
  • BugsSport, on 12/29/2008, -0/+30Also taken from another comment:

    Q: How do you stop a charging lion?
    A: Put a goal post in front of it.
  • fastguyrules, on 12/29/2008, -0/+23Tim The Toolman Taylor is still rooting for them and so should you.
  • cyrix, on 12/29/2008, -0/+22Never go full retard. They sadly did go full retard. And went home empty handed.
  • Spuy767, on 12/29/2008, -0/+21I'll insert this.

  • tricks574, on 12/29/2008, -0/+19When they finally did get a win, when asked about it in his postgame comments, he said he was excited and "A few plane crashes and we're headed to the playoffs!"

    Rich McKay was awesome.
  • PotoinMan, on 12/29/2008, -0/+18Achievement Unlocked
  • spectre51, on 12/29/2008, -0/+17Well at least they don't have Matt Millen to screw up their good draft pick this year.
  • diggproof, on 12/29/2008, -0/+16and score no points the entire season!
  • deeboe, on 12/29/2008, -1/+16Oh, Hai! Im in ur NFL, sukin at football.
  • Jews, on 12/29/2008, -0/+14No one in detroit cares about the lions. We only care about the wings and Pistons. And the tigers too, but they disappointed me this year...
  • benitojuarez, on 12/29/2008, -0/+14i dunno about rooting for them but good luck, theyll get some pretty damn good draft picks, they better use them responsibly.
  • bblande, on 12/29/2008, -2/+15If the Lions played the Browns today, they would have wiped the floor with them. The Lions were definitely the worst team over the course of the season, but not in the last few weeks despite their record.
  • Peko, on 12/29/2008, -0/+12Okok, the Lions suck. But by no means would a top college team be able to compete with even the suckiest NFL team (in the case - the lions).

    In the NFL the game is far faster. More complex. The players are bigger and stronger and more experienced.

    If you had an all star team of top college players - had them play together with a top tier coaching staff for a year - they might stand a chance. Not a big one, imo.



  • bmcnally, on 12/29/2008, -0/+12They got rid of Kwame.
  • Eugenitor, on 12/29/2008, -0/+12I can just see the Lions' draft picks going "NOOOOOOOOOOO!!!" when they get selected.
  • al1encas1no, on 12/28/2008, -27/+38<insert Lions/LOLcat joke>
  • Druid72, on 12/29/2008, -0/+11and gain no yards!
  • coldwind777, on 12/29/2008, -4/+14Actually, we like it because it's pretty much the best sport ever. It's the only sport where players can legally get into fisticuffs, so it pretty much wins.
  • benitojuarez, on 12/29/2008, -1/+11can we stop hearing you moan about it like a little whiney prick? for someone that wants nothing to do with it you sure posted a lot of comments in this story.....8 so far. find somewhere else to bitch.
  • mrdeeds2324, on 12/29/2008, -0/+10Quick, someone make that t-shirt!
  • refugeechris, on 12/29/2008, -0/+10Don't forget Oakland and Senile al - never before has a city so eagerly awaited a heart attack
  • treas, on 12/29/2008, -0/+10meh, i didn't even bother to look at your name until you said "i know you're looking at my name right now"
  • bmcnally, on 12/29/2008, -1/+10Take that, New England Patriots!
