My wife and I moved out here in 1989. We have adopted the Seattle Seahawks as our second most favorite team but have always remained faithful to the Lions. Not sure why but I can only paraphrase a quote from the great Sidney Lumet movie, 12 Angry Men:
You a Bear Fan?
No, Lions.
Lions? That's like getting hit in the head with a crowbar once a week.
And yet, I still hope for the best.
I was a major contributor to the now defunct (as of 03/13/2009) Fire Millen.com website where I was also known as Seattle Lion Fan. But since that joyus day in September of 2008, the site doesn't quite have the same meaning as it once did. Sad to say, firemillen.com will not be going under a name change but instead, the owner has decided to shut the site down.
I cut my writing chops on the site and I am sad to see it go...but I moved on to Bleacher Report which is opening more challenges for me.
I suspect many articles will have the same flavor as the win over the Redskins, another very bad team. It's just the Browns...like an NFL victory...
While I can see frustration all over this article, it's full of mostly bull-puckey. Seahawks are not going to run the table to go 10-6, they...
Yeah, changing GM's every 5-10 years, head coaches every 3 years and a littany of changes on the roster really made the Detroit Lions the powerhouse...
Want to know why you don't trade Calvin Johnson: 7 catches, 167 yards and 1 TD. He finally had the break out game we've been waiting...
In case you were wondering what a day in the fabulous life of Tom Cable was like, or are just in need of a good laugh, you may enjoy this:

Seattle congratulations on #100. Hopefully, we’ll see another 100 out of ya. Even though, I just wrote my first article, I have read your work in the past and have/still enjoy it. And I did enjoy reading your comments/knowledge.
I gotta admit it’s beautiful out there in the Pacific Northwest and debating settling out there when I left the Metro Detroit area earlier this year.

This is an important piece that needs to be read by all B/R members.
Hopefully you read it and even spread word, so everyone can see things from a new perspective.

It's time to prepare the throne, the King has arrived in New York! Lebron James is set to make his only appearance this season at Madison Square Garden against the Knicks. Take a look.

Seahawks are a mess, why two injury riddled seasons should lead to firing Tim Ruskell, etc.
