Ok, I'm a die hard Lions fan who has watched them 20 years.  I've seen lows, I've seen very lows, and I've seen the 2008 season so far which is the lowest of the low.  I know pain and suffering.  I don't on the other hand start spouting off about how the Lions are back, how they are going to the Super Bowl, or other such nonsense, especially after 3 weeks of football.  I know better.  Look at last year, 6-2 to start the year!!!  Hell yes, the Lions are improved!  Wait....1-7 in the last 8 weeks?  Really?  Oh my God they are still the Lions.  I knew that Detroit had the ability to ruin a good thing, they just had to get back to the Lions football of old.  So when I see fans of teams like the Niners, Raiders, and Bucs start spewing the same old #### when their team is 2 and 1 it drives me crazy.  If I have to see one more 49ers fan post "The Gold Rush is back baby!" one more time I might hit my computer. 

Seriously.  The Niners have won 2 games so far.  Whoop de freakin do.  Lets see here.  You beat the Seahawks, who have guys who weren't drafted for pee-wee football for WRs, and the Lions, who can't tackle my grandma even if you took away her walker.  Real impressive.  So after beating the Rams am I going to have to listen to how awesome San Fransico is and how they are destined for the Super Bowl?  The 49ers have started out 2-1 after three weeks twice in the past 5 seasons and still managed to pull off an underwhelming 0-5 winning season record.  Look at last season.  After pulling off a 2-1 record after three weeks they managed to put together an amazing 8 losses in a row.  Even the Lions didn't manage to lose 8 weeks IN A ROW.  In the past five seasons the 49ers are an amazing 25-55.  Which is one less win the than Lions in that same time frame.  Kinda funny when you think about it, since everyone on earth labels Detroit the worst football team in the league.  Now I am in no way saying the Lions are better than the 49ers, because let's face it, they aren't.  I'm just saying that blind faith in a team is kind of stupid, and to cover every blog posted with "Gold Rush" comments isn't really needed.  I kinda figured out you were a fan by the name Niners4ever.  So please let it go.  Come tell me I'm wrong when they are still over .500 at the end of the year.

The Raiders.  Oh the Raiders and their fans.  Oh my god.  Seriously I get it.  You're a huge fan, the Raiders are your life.  Super.  Please stop telling everyone on earth.  The Raiders are 19-61 in the past five years.  I know there is history here, and that the Raiders were one of the Best teams ever, but please.  Let it go.  They now dwell in the same realm as the Lions, 49ers, Texans, Cardinals, and Chiefs.  Bottom dwellers.  Scum of the NFL.  I feel your pain.  You have a nutcase for an owner, we have a nutcase for an owner.  The Raiders suck, the Lions suck.  On the plus side, you don't have Matt Millen. 

Finally, Bucs fans.  SHUT UP ALREADY.  I cannot stand when Bucs fans run around here telling everyone that they are the team to beat, that the NFC South is all wrapped up, that there is no way they aren't making the playoffs.  You beat Atlanta and Chicago.  Oh and lost to the Saints.  That's talent.  Over the past 5 years the Bucs are 36-44.  That is not exactly an amazing feat when one considers the fact that they won the Super Bowl in 02.  The next 5 weeks are going to be rough with the Bucs going 1-4.  And that's if they beat Seattle.  So please Bucs fans, stop the flag waving.  We get it.

Please don't take offence to this if you are someone who has a screen name based on one of these teams.  My own name is in reference to the Lions.  I am all for showing support for your team and by God if you are a NinersFan4Life, that is fantastic.  But there is a difference to supporting your team and posting repeated comments about how super, awesome, great, Godlike, whatever your team is.  If they are that great post a blog about it, scream it off the rooftops, but don't go into a blog about two different teams, or another totally unrelated subject just to comment about your personal favorite. 

I would like to point out that there are plenty of fans out there for the Chiefs, the Dolphins, the Rams, and other such horrible teams, but they don't go around pounding the we used to be great drum like the fans I listed here.  Now please go ahead Niners fans, Bucs fans, and Raiders fans tell me how stupid I am, and how my opinion is the worst one ever put down in words.  Although if you do, you missed the point of this blog.  Sorry.
