Alright, so early in the week, we admitted that the Detroit Lions don’t have a true back-and-forth rival. No team hates the Lions like the Lions hate them. But screw ‘em. If it’s a one-way rivalry, then so be it. Every game against the Packers or Bears or (sometimes) the Vikings feels like a rivalry game, even if they don’t necessarily feel the same way.
But sometimes there are players that transcend rivalries. It’s those players that are either so damn you good you have to admire them or way too affable to hate.
