Yes….yes, 4 years of winning records and probably 5. Yes. It’s a nice change from 4 to 5 years of ass and a couple wild cards…FO SHO.
Let us reflect though on similar accomplshments….where dammit Yes! Things didn’t suck…But Don’t Get Them Hopes Too High There Mister! Stay That Draft Day Beans Course!
DOES THIS RUN OF WINNING REGULAR SEASON GAMES BUT NOT TEDDY KGB-ING THE POT VENHEVER THA EFF VE VANT make you feel like-
You pulled a solid-ish 6.5 to go home with every month at closing time
Your prepaid snowplow contract was for 20 calls and they ran 23
Your 2 leg parleys hit enough to cover your SGP losses
Your car lease mileage comes in 2k under every year
I’ve never felt further away from winning a Super Bowl in my life. That’s saying something. For the first 40 years of my Lions fandom I thought well maybe one day we’ll get that stud gm and coach combo and ■■■■■■■ destroy this league!! Then years 42-44 I was convinced we finally had it! So close! Years 45-47(current) I feel like I was hoodwinked by a master conman and years 42-44 were a disgusting cruel joke because the combo is a microwaved Whopper (iykyk/BH) with delicious crispy onion rings (MCDC) and a flat fountain Coke (Sheila, probably). It’s never going to happen. I knew it last year, I know it this year. Holmes has lost 80%, except oddly not in here, of his fan support and that never ends well. The Lions are special needsish (not making fun) so they’ll be slow to react so things will be too far gone to be corrected by a simple fresh set of eyes. It’s over. I tried for two years to fight the screaming demons inside my brain telling me the truth. Today my priors were confirmed. It’s really over.
But the BK employees in here are telling me that this is how it’s supposed to be. It’s all good. It’s supposed to taste like that. But I know radioactively heated flame broiled horse meat when I taste it. “You’re stupid if you don’t think this tastes good” the employees shout! But the bun is wet and the patty gave me blisters I say. The mayo is separating from the heat. In the end, the combo is consumed. I’m never getting a Whopper again. Man those rings were delicious though, I’ll get those again. Can I ever trust that the syrup bag will not be empty again? Probably not.
Oh I remember. If you read my post you’d know that. But I still had hope in the replacements getting us there back then. I thought this was the big replacement. Turns out it was just Keanu Reaves pretending to be my white knight.
I’ve poured my heart and soul into being a fan of this team since 1980. I’ve regrettably missed important family functions back in my younger years because of this franchise. I always had hope. One day. As my body breaks down so to does my dream of parading down Woodward, now with my son (who I wisely pointed elsewhere years ago-but he’d go for me) . This team is never going to win man. I know it now more than ever. We had the right ingredients for a bit there. But the chef turned out to be a whopper microwaving line cook.
Why would I bother ‘trolling’. I’m ■■■■■■■ devastated that I’ve spent my whole life defending this team. Ignoring the signs. Going hoarse at games. I was holding onto that last shred this morning. Then I just let go. You can call me all the names you want. I’ve likely watched quadruple the amount of Lions football as most on here. I am rambling a bit for sure. But I’m just crushed emotionally. It’s like putting decades into a marriage then it just hits you that it’s over and I don’t know what else to do.
Good Stuff!!
I wonder how difficult it would be to join a Bears/Vikings/Packers forum and pretend to be a long time fan.
Do you spend 10-20 minutes learning the history of the team and previous games via google? Learn a couple of big names and pretend you’ve lived it like a real fan.
Do you spend a few months on the enemies board faking fandom, read the takes of real fans and gravitate towards those of the ignorant?
Only a matter of time before your true colors start showing through like a Freight trains beam glaring in?
Gigs up 97, you are not a denmate nor a lifelong lion fan, you are one of the better trolls we’ve had in a while and as a Lions fan, I am complimented you’ve put forth the effort.
The why is one I’ll never understand, but some people have a surplus of time in mom’s basement with no real life.
The only question, who’s your real team?
Bears? Pack? Vikes?
I think you’re still butt hurt from the whipping we gave you and Ben twice last year.
Time to go home footballdummie97, the gig is up.
You gave it a run, and a few were gullible, just a matter of time before you’re true colors burst through.
Filling gaping roster holes does unfortunately equal winning championships. But what the hell do we know about it anyways? We’re lions fans. That’s what every single one of us has been told our entire lives. Unfortunately it’s true.
I remember VinceLombardisGhost, farmerted, crowdnoisewinschampionships, etc
Who was the guy with the skeleton with headphones? The kids crying praising the lizard king hahaha. Man
Can we just get along. Man this is why I left the board. We all i want the lions to win. The board is like a dinner menu were not all going to agree on what we should like or dislike. Love each other like its our last day.
Sorry Marty. I was just trying to relay my feelings about how I feel about the GM in a comical way…then the BradBots come out and start riling. They attack first. Always.
Got called a troll, then some Brad loonie started going on about something or other.
