Hmmmm. maybe. I can see your point but that’s not the way I’m wired. There’s a reason I cheered for the Rams to lose every game the last two years. And it’s not because I ‘hate’ Stafford
It’s because it advantages this team via an inverse relationship to a first round draft pick we own
I refuse to play fantasy football because I don’t ever want to be put in a position to cheer against the Lions.
If Goff, Barry Sanders or Jesus Effin Christ were traded to another team for their first round pick, I would cheer for them to lose every game to increase our draft capital. Every. Single. Game. The only exception would be if it helped our playoff chances.
The rotten skeletal corpse of Hitler could claw from the grave and if the Lions signed him to a contract, jammed a football into his bony hand and he led a touchdown drive down the field, I would cheer like crazy. Do a little Blitzkrieg dance. I might be confused and utterly terrified later, but it’s a Lions TD. And I’m goddamn elated
