In the late 90’s, I traveled to Detroit on a regular basis. Even with the economic struggles, I couldn’t help but fall in love with the city and the people that lived there.
And so, every Thanksgiving, my heart goes out to the good people of Detroit.
Like most people, Detroit fans love their hometown teams. And like most fans, their team’s success (or failure) can greatly affect their mood. I know that Detroit is proud of the Thanksgiving tradition their franchise started and continues. But it must be a struggle for them.
Yes they want to watch their team play on Thanksgiving, but watching your team lose can spoil even the sweetest pumpkin pie. And Detroit fans go through this struggle year after year.
So this Tuesday’s Terrible Take goes out to the fans of the Detroit Lions… Detroit fans, let the Thanksgiving game go, at least for one year, and enjoy some nice turkey with a side of no losses. It will be yummy. Trust me.
P.S. I’ll be rooting for you on Thursday
