MisterBeale for someone who doesn’t care about pro sports or football,you could have fooled me posting this article.lol
Too bad the op doesn’t understand that the Lions will never be in a Super Bowl because they made a deal with the NFL that if they wanted to continue hosting a game on thanksgiving the price they were going to pay was they were never going to be allowed a Super Bowl appearance,you posted some article on this sometime way back many years ago Beal,that’s how I know this,you may not remember it but I do.you mentioned that Barry sanders found out about it and that was the real reason he retired from the nfl when he had so many more years left he could have played.the reason he gave publicly was not the real reason.
For anybody that has doubts about this you are incapable of critical thinking.ever notice theLions have always gotten screwed by refs over the years far more so than other teams? Kinda like how in the playoffs the patriots always got all the calls go their way and never had bad calls go against them in their wins to get to the superbowl while the bad calls always went against the other teams at the most crucial time yet people here still deny reality the owner had the refs in their pockets.
Getting back to the Lions think about it fir a sec.Stafford never had a prayer on the planet of ever being in a Super Bowl as long as he played fir the Lions so they did him the best favorin the world trading him to the Rams.
Think about this fir a sec,remember that playoff game with the Lions and cowboys that stafford was a part of where in the final minutes of the game it was third and long for the Lions and stafford threw the ball deep down the field and the Dallas defender was all over the Lions receiver mugging him and the refs correctly threw a yellow flag for pass interference against the cowboys but then later picked it up and said no pass interference was committed and no explanation was even given for why the flag was picked up and why the call was changed? Instead of getting a first down and having a chance to kick the winning field goal,because of the call it was fourth down fir the Lions and they had to punt the ball because of a call that changed the outcome of the game.
Had the refs not picked up that flag and made the correct call,the Lions would have won that game,that call totally changed the outcome of the game.as I said that was not just a onetime thing either,anytime the Lions arein big games that are close,the calls always go to the other teams same as the patriots always got all the calls and never bad calls against them and the bad calls always went against the other teams at the most crucial part of the games the years they won all those afc title games. That was about the worst call I ever can remember in a playoff game right up there with the tuck rule over an obvious fumble the whole world knew was a fumble.
How people cannot see all these years later these games are as scripted as elections are is incredible,
The players are no longer allowed to decide the outcome of playoffs and superbowls anymore,the refs do and yet the sheep ignorantly keep watching the nfl over and over again.
Beam me up scotty,there is no intelligent lifeforms on this planet.
I Wasn’t even aware there were any nfl games yesterday on Sunday till I heard someone mention something about the chiefs winning,otherwise I had no idea there were any nfl games going on had they not said anything.
