I do not blame Detroit Lions fans if they are currently unable to stomach any discussion about their team.
As a former Atlanta Falcons fan who had his world turned on its head following 28-3, I understand that feeling more than I care to admit. It led to a meltdown of nuclear proportions and the decision to divorce myself from the cursed Atlanta franchise for the sake of my mental health.
Some will say that I am a terrible fan. They may be right. But I refused to allow my life to be controlled by a football team any longer, at least not the one that had done so for the better part of two decades.
