9/21/2008 week 3 my gf bought tickets for the lions @Sf we brought our roommate who was a talented artist/painter she drew a sign that had 2 logs and a campfire then matt millens face (fire millen) I held it up all game long, got shit thrown at me, he got canned 3 days later. You’re welcome and FTP

In '91, I took one of those party bus trips to see the Lioxs play the Vikings. Minnesota held a 17 point lead with.
under 8 minutes to play… Everyone started getting up to head back to the bus. I refused to go and told them this game ain’t over, I’m not leaving and they better not either. What followed was the Lions greatest come from behind victory I have ever wit eased! Peete to Robert Clark! An onside kick recovery by Tobr Caston! Peete to Willie Green! A defensive stand and to top it off, Barry for the great winning TD!

Future wife bought me tickets on the 40 yard line behind the Lions bench at Ford Field for the walk-off TD from Goff to St. Brown for the Lions first win of the season and MC/DCs first win as the Head Coach — and I was 8 rows up HAMMERED DRUNK on scotch

Attending the Lions vs Eagles game in Philly in 2012 leaving the game and having a group of Eagles fans curse at me and dump a beer on my freshly dry cleaned crisp white Stafford jersey after the Lions won in OT

Not a good story but I was at the lions bear Calvin catch that wasn’t

I don’t have one particular story, but I was a West Coast fan in high school—during the fucking Millen years. In retrospect, it’s funny how much shit I got from kids who knew football (and even a couple who didn’t). I guess that stuff didn’t bother me, because I covered my binder in Lions stickers and had one of those terrible 2000’s-era football graphics of Kevin Jones as my MySpace photo (complete with lightning bolts and weird grunge texture)

I also got my friend who didn’t even follow football to randomly shit on Matt Millen during conversations as well. The Pistons, Wings, and Tigers were great back then, so I didn’t really care that the Lions sucked. They were sort of like the weird cousin who peaked in high school and I never met until he was 28

Week 18 @ Packers. Let’s go.
