The Detroit Lions. This team rings three bells in my head: Barry Sanders, Thanksgiving, and losing. Barry Sanders is retired, the annual Thanksgiving game is their yearly highlight, and the losing was more evident after a historically horrid 0-16 season in 2008. The first two are not going to change, but the solution to the losing has been discovered and fixed instantly.
Was it the general manager... no.
Was it the lack of talent... no.
Was it poor coaching... no.
The uniforms have been the issue. That's right, the soft powder blue and silver are fine, but the logo wasn't mean enough. So, the new lion featuring teeth and the "fierce" letters are a sure fire way to turn around one of the worst franchises in NFL history. Give me a break!
To make matters worse, they had six players put on a modeling show on a mini runway. If I were running the show in Detroit, which isn't the craziest idea in the world, I would be in the weight room, class room, or on the field instead of wasting time putting on a show for cameras. You are not the world champion Steelers, who by the way are not putting on a modeling show following their record sixth NFL Championship. At this rate, I wouldn't be surprised if the Lions brought Tyra Banks on as an assistant coach. Until next time...
