Perfection Pursued: Lions Complete 0-16 Season
You know, it really makes perfect sense that in a year where an NFL club would go an entire regular season without a loss (hint: coach’s name rhymes with Will Welichick), the following season would produce a team of perfection at the other end of the spectrum. So we extend a hearty thank you to the 2008 Detroit Lions for their contribution to karmic balance.
(This pretty much sums up the 2008 Detroit Lions)
Yes, thanks to these felines full of fail, we didn’t have to hear Chris Berman pop the champagne at all for the ‘76 Tampa Bay Buccaneers, the previous pro football franchise who couldn’t get a single “W”. But extra thanks to the Green Bay Packers, who made such misery in the Motor City possible with a 31-21 triumph on the frozen tundra of Lambeau Field.
So, where do these loathsome Lions go from here?
