Lions fan fiction: ‘Twas the week before Packers

Related Topics: Fan fiction, Self-deprecation

Lions Fan Fiction” is a coping mechanism we use to help fans survive a tough Monday morning after a loss. We come up with a fake reality in which the Lions won in an effort to bring levity and happiness through satire, self-deprecation and humor. With today being Christmas and all, I decided to throw a little holiday spin on things.

‘Twas the week before Packers
And all through the play
Not a creature was jumping
Not even Don Barclay

The Lions were down six
But hadn’t a fear
For McDaniels was guiding
With headphones on each ear

It was late in the game
With just one yard to go
Jim Bob would be flummoxed
To pass or to throw?
