It's time for a Lions thread

Also, I am looking more and more Wrongo! on wanting Jameson Williams when he was drafted. This dude's career is beginning to look rather messy:

Detroit Lions general manager Brad Holmes did a bit of PR control this week in his recent comments on Jameson Williams.

Williams, who is suspended for the first six games of the 2023 season, has attracted all kinds of negative press this summer from his sour training camp attitude to his sub-par ball skills. He even reportedly threw a punch at his teammate during one practice, and he also picked up a leg injury that saw him miss some time in camp.

The bust meter for Jameson Williams is certainly starting to beep a bit. https://t.co/NguF5GCQ8F

Why is there always that one dipshit who gets the championship tatoo before their team has won anything?

Perhaps they can have it surgically removed and sent to the kids in Africa with the fail?

Or laser off the last digit and give yourself 6 more chances.

I can’t believe my people (TM) still take those seconds.

Best roster in the division? Me thinks not. I like our youth, depth, speed and size. And we have the Dime Machine.

I remain a Goff skeptic and the loss last year still stings.

Lions will have to play a tougher schedule this year finishing in 2nd place, vs the cake walk they got in 22-23 for finishing 3-13 the year before.

Dude's daring karma to kick him in the nads.

Rodgers playing like shit still pisses me off.

Stole from BK in TBSS thread.  I think it belongs here now.

First thing:

it's Loins not Lions!!!!!!

2nd thing:

The Loins blew it when they let Jamaal go.

Thanks for starting this thread. Gonna need it living behind enemy lines.

There used to be a Lions fan who posted here from overseas serving in the military.  He seemed like a stand up guy.

Loins still suck tho.

Loins beat the Packers three straight times. Maybe a tattoo along those lines would be a less foolish option than the one the viking transplant to Detroit is showing here.

Gird your loins.

FART WILL CHOCK!!!

Love the classics.

It's just too hard to have energy left to despise the Lions with the Vikings and Bears around.

And in your case, the Packers.

Truly, it’s hard for me to work up any hate for the Lions.  Great helmets and unis.

The Loins have been irrelevant for so long, it's hard to work up a good hatred for them. The Bears are our natural enemy, and while you can hate them, you respect them for the rivalry. Minnesota is like the little, loud, obnoxious neighborhood punk who you love to rub his face in the snow.

Now, if the Loins turn out to be really good for a decade or so and GB has to chase them, I may revise my opinion. 

There were the Loins teams of the 1950's and '60's that were a rival hated almost on par with the Bores.
There were the Loins teams in the 1990's that we played in the wild card round of the playoffs every year. That was an intense rivalry, but not as much hatred.
Now we have the 2020's version of the Loins. Not only intense, but some of that hatred is coming back. And we owe those sonsofbitches a smackdown!

In any case, they have always been a PITA, even when they didn't have good teams. A typical game means forget the records/standings, or who has a better team/coaches, and get ready for a grind-'em-out, smash-mouth game.

I can agree with that, Timmy. I wasn't around for the '50s, and I don't remember much about them from the '60s. I do recall dreading the Thanksgiving game every year as it seemed we always lost. We do owe them from last year for sure.
