Lions in a Coliseum—great for the live crowds, would be great TV as well.

If we are going to fall like ancient Rome, we might as well have some of their fun on the way!

Better than the Detroit Lions, that's for sure.

The Roman promoters really did things right
They needed a show that would clearly excite
The attendance was sparse so they put on a fight
Threw the Christians to the lions, sold out every night

Give the people what they want
You gotta give the people what they want
The more they get, the more they need
And every time they get harder and harder to please
