Lions all-time team

I’ve been a Lions fan for 35 years and am the ONLY LIONS fan in NYC – trust me. Anyway, I would have added a few additions to the list, although I LOVE the Doug English pick, Kevin Glover (Barry’s best friend on the Lions) and Bubba Baker from the 80’s Lions. My additions would include:

Jerry Ball – NG
Brett Perriman – WR
Stephen Boyd – LB (well maybe Boyd)

Signed,
One hugely disappointed NYCLionsfan

not so fast

I too am a Lions fan in NYC. And last year I was at a sports bar and another guy in a Lions jersey came in. I remember it well, cause it was the Redskins game, and he came in the second quarter, looked at the score, wished me good luck, and immediately left.

So, unless that was you, there are at least three of us.

3 Lions fans??

Hmmm – if that’s the case I stand corrected. There are 3 of us here, at least, I suppose. Either way this team sucks, has sucked this whole decade and I am not flying out to Ford Field anymore to watch this team until they are at least a .500 team, not just competitive but learn how to actually win games.
