Detroit fans are cheering for the Vikings.
:rofl:

Oh, and some dude was running around the stands with a "Fire Matt Millen" sign and security caught him. I don't know why that was a big deal, though. :shrug:

3. Yep.
Tice is now 8-0 against the Lions.

I just noticed there's no 3:15 game in our market today! Of course, the Packers and Bears are playing right now...so there wouldn't be a game, which makes sense.

4. Welcome to Bush's America
Where you cannot express dissent with anything...

I thought it was funny when the Lions fans started cheering for the Vikings.

6. The best thing about crappy teams are their smart-ass fans.

7. Detroit fans do this often. We went to a Packers/Lions game once, and
the announcers on the radio were dubbing it Lambeau East. In fairness, though, many of the fans are from the other side...it's relatively easy for Minn. fans to make the trip. :hi:

8. True it is not a bad trip from Minny
but the overwhelming color in the stands was royal blue, not purple!

10. Lion's fans are the worst sort of fans...with the exception of a very
few, they are bandwagon fans. I remember back in the 80's, when the Red Wings sucked, they would come to the games with banners reading "Dead Wings"....and the stands would be empty. Now, everyone is a fan. Of course the Red Wings aren't doing so well. I give it a year until they're booing them again.

11. I have heard that about Detroit teams in general
No fan loyalty whatsoever.

12. Nope. As a girl from Wisconsin...it blows my mind.
The other funny thing, is that many think that William Clay Ford is deliberately sabotaging the team...to get back at the fans...They think highly of themselves here, as if he cares. :hi:

13. LOL
I think the Ford family has bigger fish to fry, like how to keep their automobile manufacturing business afloat.
