Sheila Ford Hamp shouldn't get a honeymoon as new Detroit Lions owner

Sheila Ford Hamp, who was named the Detroit Lions' new owner and chairman Tuesday morning, said a beautiful thing just four hours after taking her new job.

“I am a very competitive person,” she said during a Zoom call with reporters. “I grew up playing competitive tennis and you know … boy, I hated to lose, so I still hate to lose. So that's my message to the fans, I'll hate to lose as much as they do.”

Granted, we’ve heard plenty of empty promises from the Ford family over the last half-century or so.
