I've been a Lions fan my entire life, so I understand exactly what you're saying... and I'm in my late 50s. The weird thing for me is that we've lived in northern Virginia for 15 years and have been rooting for Washington as our "we live here now" team. It was easy because they delivered as much heartache as the Lions. My wife and I have simply rooted for them both for years now. I suppose that made Saturday's Lions' loss a bit less heartbreaking. On the other hand, we weren't able to enjoy the Commanders' victory either. It was sort of the worst of both worlds, if you know what I mean.
My wife and I will definitely be rooting for the Commanders to go all the way. If they do, we'll be happy that our "we live here now" team won the Super Bowl... and, as Lions fans, we'll be able to say, "No one else was able to beat Washington in the playoffs either. So there's that."
I didn't see the game. Who done the deed to them this time?
The teams in Winnipeg run hot and cold the same way. The Blue Bombers have made it to the Grey Cup final several times in the last few years, only to choke in the game itself. And while the Jets tend to do well in the NHL season, they tend to get tossed out of the Stanley Cup finals very quickly,

Completely agree. Just let us Lions fans suffer in silence. We're good at it.
Sorry man. Sending energy and fist bumps across the lake.
Appreciate it!
Much love to y’all. Some encouragement:
1) You could be a Browns fan.
2) You could be a Titans fan.
3) You could be Cowboys fan.

“I don't watch football” words pretty good for me for all teams 😂
Injuries finally caught up with them. The future is bright!
Man I so get this. I LOVE baseball and have 3 favorite teams that I follow religiously. One is the Angels. Heartbreak every single year. 😞😞😞
