Well I would hope so working for the Lions.

yes, because i'm sure someone in the lions' advertising department went out of their way to put that nfl/doubleclick ad on their website

lolz

If you don't laugh, you'll just cry. Because your team sucks.

I chortled.

You better be a hockey fan if you live in Detroit.

Leave us alone !!

Hey, masochists watch football too.

Oh wow! Is that an Oh Snap if they tell themselves???

angry_scientist: Oh wow! Is that an Oh Snap if they tell themselves???

We may need to refer to the flow chart for this one

Haven't been following the Off Season... any chance they'll win a game this year?

Pure awesomeness

Megain: yes, because i'm sure someone in the lions' advertising department went out of their way to put that nfl/doubleclick ad on their website

Shut up, you with your... sense-making stuff.

Matthew Stafford, anyone?

It's funny, because the Lions were an inferior football team in 2008, and nobody who likes the Lions would want to relive it.

Maybe everyone else in the NFC North wanted to relive that season.

HOL&G your astute grasp of the obvious is alarming.

/i really saw what you did there
//was just prolonging the point
/s/l/a/s/h/i/e/

I will put myself on the line and predict 4-12 this year

Let the guys talk about football. Stick to Barbies or something

_{/yes, i know you are a guy and no, I don't care.}

are we sure it wasn't a spelling mistake and that they didn't mean to say:

revile the 2008 season

Boris S. Wort: Haven't been following the Off Season... any chance they'll win a game this year?

I think the overall attitude of the staff and team is good so far this year. I'll give them 4 wins at most.

Uh, yyeeahhhh, let's just go ahead and not relive last year. Mmmkay?

God, the 2008 Detroit Lions. I doubt even NFL Films could make them look good, and NFL Films will sucker you in every single time.

IslanderInExile: Uh, yyeeahhhh, let's just go ahead and not relive last year. Mmmkay?

If you're a Jets or Dolphins fan, that was the highlight of the past decade for you.

When the Lions go 4-12 this year it'll make Stafford look awesome.

/not really, Culpepper will likely play most of the games
//until he gets hurt and there's no other option

S.A.S.Q.U.A.T.C.H.: You better be a hockey fan if you live in Detroit.

I'm leaving for Detroit in two hours so I'm getting a kick scared.

Not so much basketball right now, since the Pistons seem to be heading into a rebuilding phase. The Tigers are first in their division, though, and the Wings had a damn good run this year.

Yeah, even the Voice of God (RIP) wouldn't have anything to work with.

Does it really matter who's marketing department made the ad? A website has to be responsible for the ads it hosts.

I used to love watching the NFL Films individual team highlight films that re-capped each season. Growing up a Seahawks fan and suffering through many 4-12, 6-10 seasons, it was always a great testament to how they could make an utterly shiatty team look like they werethisclose to making it to the Super Bowl.

That said, I don't think that there is any way you could polish the turd that was the 2008 Detroit Lions.

It's a banner ad served up based on the web user's content.

No they don't. shiat, just look at some of Farks ads. Drew even said he has no control over them.

Why do you think its called Hockeytown?


Perhaps the "Relive the season" is targeted at fans that hate the Lions?

Klippoklondike: I will put myself on the line and predict 4-12 this year

I've been saying 3-13 since about February, but I could see 4-12. Enough wins so that the fans aren't rooting for losses, but enough losses to deliver that familiar hopelessness.

i don't get it.

/sports are dumb anyways
//honestly, i clicked on the story cause I thought it was about real lions

please: /Detroiter, and Lion fan

My condolences.

HighOnLifeAndGlue: It's funny, because the Lions were an inferior football team in 2008, and nobody who likes the Lions would want to relive it.

Who's a more disappointed fan? The one with the 0-16 team or the one with the 18-1 team?

tedbundee: Who's a more disappointed fan? The one with the 0-16 team or the one with the 18-1 team?

The 0-16 one. Trust me.



/I can has playoffs?

d'art: God, the 2008 Detroit Lions. I doubt even NFL Films could make them look good, and NFL Films will sucker you in every single time.

This is a valid point. They tend to really describe the unmitigated heroics and execution in the high points, gloss over the low points but somehow still translate the low points into hope for next season. You now have me really curious as to what the 2008 Lions NFL films video will look like. Maybe they just skip the whole 2008 season and highlight "new coach" and "new QB".

Nah, its on every team's official website. I mean, why else would the same ad be on the Bengals website?

/I had the same thought, "Why would I want to relive last year? It sucked!"

HighOnLifeAndGlue: It's funny, because the Lions were an inferior football team in 2008, and nobody who likes the Lions would want to relive it.

Think of that one all by yourself did you?

Why would anyone but Steeler fans want to relive last season??? "Oh man, that was a great season until that final game, I want to watch every game, 'cause my team played so great until the end...too bad they dropped that last game!"

2farkers1cup: i don't get it.

/sports are dumb anyways
//honestly, i clicked on the story cause I thought it was about real lions

You sound fat.

My bet is on 3-13 as well. 4-12 is possible because I like what they have been doing with the defense. The offense will be terrible, but there is a glimpse of hope that Culpepper will have more than 1.2 seconds to get a pass off. Calvin Johnson.... poor guy. He would be a superstar on any other team.

I would love to see 0-32 but something tells me they will be just good enough to squeak out a few wins. Then all the idiot fans will fill the seats so Ford Sr can 'stay the course'. Maybe he will bring Millen back?

Compared to Granholm, the Lions are a success. They didn't get the unemployment rate over 15%.

2farkers1cup: /sports are dumb anyways

You thought real lions have an advertising department and SPORTS are dumb?

I think a football has more common sense than you.
