8. Asterisk that MF’er Tirico

9. Dude. I was in a liqour store in NC today and half that store had to talk about my Lions gear. Nothing but love, even from a Packers fan.. I thought we’re supposed to be the villains?

10. Some people still have no idea what that GB win did in the eyes of the league and the “higher ups”

    The SOL era would have seen a team with no incentive to play hard after being eliminated, lose to GB by 10-14 points, but that win earned the trust of TV Networks knowing they have another team that can be entertaining and at worst, play villain and not lay down for teams.

    Last nights win just took the trust on a whole new level and let’s face it, casual fans want to see new matchups. Think about how many times we’re forced to watch a boring GB and Chi game on NBC cause its a rivalry? or the same old NFC East matchups?

11. The needle wasn’t the only thing Dan Campbell made move last night.

12. America’s Team

13. That’s like 1 false start for every viewer.

14. Ford field is going to be absolutely rocking next week, revenge against Seattle will be sweet
