In my nearly 46 years living in Detroit, I’m not sure I’ve witnessed a city that so coalesced around one of its sports teams quite the way it has with this year’s Detroit Lions’ group. The 1984 “Bless You Boys” Tigers World Series Champions were close as were 1989’s “Bad Boy” Pistons, and, of course, the post-limousine accident Red Wings’ Stanley Cup Championship in 1998 was incredible.
None of it, however, would have equalled what this region would have witnessed had Detroit managed to seal the deal in Santa Clara Sunday night.
But alas …
Good news, there’s only about seven months until training camp opens.
Ugh. I can’t see how Detroit fans could get anything positive out of this. What a meltdown. As time goes on this is going to hurt more and more (unless you win the SB next year)
