As Han Solo hollered, "don't give me the odds!" :^) The last championships for Pistons, Red Wings, and Lions had been all in the 1950s, then the Pistons had their "bad boys" run including back to back championships, then Scotty took over coaching and the Dead Wings came to life and won some Stanley Cups. The Tigers won the World Series in 1968 and 1984, and in this century (under 'Jimmy Smokes') had divisional titles and played (and alas, lost) a couple of World Series.
The Lions had their best season record ever under Cocaine Wayne, and most (all?) of the current Lions probably weren't even born then.
