First of all, setting someone up to Ron Burgundy themselves with a teleprompter is a brilliant move since I feel like 99% of the world will blindly read whatever is on a screen when they know they are being recorded. You can make an entire prank show out of getting people to say something they didn't expect to say, followed by the host popping out of nowhere and hitting them with the perfect catchphrase.
Anyway, I think the Lions may have tapped into something here. We all expected Dan Campbell's Lions to be fueled by unabashed violence once he took over. That has led to a couple of decent halves and a few near wins over good teams. But in the end, all it led to was the familiar heartbreak that Lions fans know all too well as they watched the least violent players on the gridiron deliver them an L in ways we've never seen before.

I know NFL is is despised by many on FreeRepublic but it is Friday and this is great story. It reminds of when sports were fun. BarStoolSports might be an antidote to the haughty pompous ESPNers.

If you are a Lions fan you are going to cry. And not for the usual reason.

Chris Spielman is a great man who deserves this honor. Very sad when he lost his wife at a young age due to cancer.
To: Kid Shelleen
Loved him as a Buckeye, and a Lion. Class act.
