First, Go Lions!  Some people are calling me a band wagon fan just because I never talked about the Lions before they started to do well (Except in hilarious jokes of course)  That is TOTALLY inaccurate!  I think this point is best made by giving you a sample of every conversation I've ever had with a person who asked what my favorite team was.

Random Idiot:  Who's your NFL team?

Me:  The Lions

Random Idiot:  What do you think about (insert NFL player, rule or game here)

Me:  I don't know.  I don't watch Pro Football.

Random Idiot:  What?  Why?

Me:  I just told you!  I'm I Lions fan!

THIS IS WHAT I PICTURE THE "RANDOM IDIOT" IN THIS SCENARIO LOOKING LIKE

NOTICE THAT HE IS A COLTS FANS.  MOST COLTS FANS ARE IDIOTS.  I LIVED IN INDIANA FOR 5 YEARS.  TRUST ME ON THIS.

You see, since the Lions have always.....how can I put this delicatly?....Sucked in the past, it was just too painfull to turn the TV on Sunday.  BUT, I've never rooted for another team.  I was so dedicated to the Lions that I would rather give up on the sport than choose another team to follow.

That is why I say, I am NOT a band wagon Lions fan.  I'm a band wagon NFL fan!  And I think that a lot of people out there are in the same boat.
