We here in Detroit have had a long history of... let’s just say “contentious” columnists. In particular, opinion pieces surrounding the Detroit Lions have ranged from reactionary to alarmist to downright stupid. Of course, this franchise has warranted it for decades and decades of losing, but with the team legitimately turning a corner now, the job of a Lions columnist is getting tougher. And that is plainfully obvious to anyone seeing some of the local columns out there right now.

We here at Pride of Detroit don’t want Detroit’s illustrious history of fearmongers and pearl clutchers to fade away. And with no football activities on the horizon for the next six weeks, we could be in real danger of that.

So for all current and aspiring Detroit Lions columnists, the staff here at Pride of Detroit have compiled a list of 25 headlines you can use during this downtime of Lions football. WE GOTTA KEEP THE CLICK AND ENGAGEMENT FARM GOING!

Enjoy.
