Nowadays it seems almost as if most Detroit Lions fans are leery, sarcastic and pessimistic. In our defense though, it’s not like the organization has had any sustained success in establishing a franchise that we could be proud of as fans. Unfortunately, quite the opposite could be said for the former Portsmouth Spartans.
I don’t want to dredge up the past and laundry list the Lions’ entire snakebitten history but from decades of futility at the quarterback position to early retirements to the lowest of lows during the Matt Millen era, it is rare for Detroit to give their long suffering fans something to truly cheer for.
