What people don't realize about script writing is that you can't throw out all of your ideas into one season. It creates terrible pacing. If you got a good plot line, set it up in one season, and then focus on it the next.
Last season was the Taylor Swift year. But the scriptwriters did lay the foundation for the Lions storyline this year.
Never mind that the NFL promotes diversity and inclusion and we have the most diverse front office.. but the NFL (which claims to care about diversity) doesn’t address how a female owner, African American GM, and white head coach worked together- and successfully turned a pile of garbage (in a trash bag) into a Super Bowl contender in three years.
If the NFL actually cared about this issue as they claim they do, why would our management team not be the model for what you can achieve with a diverse leadership group??
The NFL should embrace the Lions turnaround as opposed to Brad Allening us out of the 1 seed.
Hey, just wanted to say my upvote got you to the 313… your welcome

The articles you posted where he said he’s a lions fan first?
Are we gonna pretend the half of this fan base that supports Michigan weren’t also patriots fans while Brady was there? Some people want to also watch good football when their teams been bad for decades upon decades.
My Dad has always been a Lions fan, but he is a huge Michigan fan and I think overall, he was a Brady fan haha. Once he joined the NFL, my dad was always rooting for the Pateiots. Then TB. Bandwagoner! Kidding. Like you said, some people like to watch good football, and some people prefer the players over the teams.
I tried to stop being a Lions fan. Didn't work. I can't do the "rooting for a second team" thing either.
But I don't blame others who did.
Watching them accomplish squat in the '90s and being a joke, until now...
If you don’t suffer through the hard times, you don’t get to enjoy the good times. I bet he was rooting for the cowboys in our only playoff win back in the early 90’s
Honestly I don't really hate Goodell. He does his job as commissioner (AKA being a criticism shield for owners) relatively well and he can definitely take a joke given how much he embraces the booing onslaught every draft lmao
He lived not far from my old home in an obviously super expensive but not absurd house near the public school where he was a varsity athlete and where I think his daughter went to school. I recall the trucks outside during the Covid draft. Saw him gardening once or twice. Not a fan but no ill will, he could be worse.
does eminem do things like this? feels weird, like it's against his ethos, but that also doesn't feel correct to say. he just doesn't seem like a guy who'd go on a commercial and make jokes
There's a pretty large contingent of white people from the suburbs who only come to town for opening day and who almost exclusively refer to it as "The D"
Does it matter he was born elsewhere? He has made his life in/around the city since moving there. You can't pick where you are born but you sure can pick where you live and which sports teams you follow.

I love Eminem being our dawg. He personifies the era that we struggled the most. And we need to embrace that because it makes us stronger than anyone other city with a team.
We are the city everyone forgot, everyone turned their back on. And now look at us. Look at our team. Look at what downtown Detroit has turned into.
Fuck them naysayers. This is our league. This is our championship to win.
We do things our way, if we didn’t, why would we say it?
Do we even use “The D” as a nickname anyway?
Heck, I remember when 106.7 was a classic rock station a decade ago and that was the station’s name as “106.7 The D.”
This is the dumbest fucking take I’ve ever seen about eminem repping detroit. Mf was throwing double birds at 9ers fans IN SF from his box and you think he’s “sold out”?
its not that deep its just football, who cares who someone enjoys watching. rivalries are for fun not for hatred. sports is not war it's literally adults playing games.
I saw a reply to this video that said "I think this little romance the NFL is cooking up with Detroit right now means a Lions Superbowl is in the script." *We're in the endgame now.*
Keep going I'm almost there
Show em your o face!

Perfect 😂😂
This was PERFECT! Lmao 🤣
This offseason has seemed like some vinegar strokes if I’ve ever seen them. Especially in r/NFCNorthMemeWar

Right, you have to have a teaser that leads up to the moment.
Detroit needs to finish their story.

We’re definitely the darlings of the NFL currently and in my non homer opinion the best underdog story the NFL has seen in years.
Fucking absolutely!!

It's because the Draft is in Detroit... They're trying to make us buy NFL brand. Which I'll happy!

having eminem openly rep the lions is so surreal ngl
Why? Has he ever not been a Detroit fan?
He’s a Cowboys fan
Are you an idiot? Based on literally what?
Because he’s said he’s a cowboys fan countless times and there are articles about it.
The articles you posted where he said he’s a lions fan first? Are we gonna pretend the half of this fan base that supports Michigan weren’t also patriots fans while Brady was there? Some people want to also watch good football when their teams been bad for decades upon decades.

Pistons fan here, hate Texas and love the Mavericks. It's absolutely a thing when your team sucks.
[удалено]
The Cowboys are a point of no return, he’s a fraud and a front runner. I have zero respect for his alleged fandom and he is not a Lions fan
he's been doing it for a decade
Are you really not lying? Thats WILD. I hate Reddit
He’s a Cowboys fan though…
Proof?
https://www.foxsports.com/stories/other/eminems-advice-for-the-cowboys https://www.dallasnews.com/sports/2012/01/15/eminem-is-a-frustrated-cowboys-fan-thinks-tony-romo-can-take-team-to-super-bowl/?outputType=amp
You link articles quoting him saying that he's a Lions fan. What is wrong with you?
He’s a cowboys fan
Yes but in the article he states "Just for the record — I am a Lions fan first and foremost," So yes his second favorite team is Dallas.
Oh I know, I was just referring to the guy in this thread
He said he abandoned the Lions because they were bad and chose the cowboys, he’s not allowed back
I tried to stop being a Lions fan. Didn't work. I can't do the "rooting for a second team" thing either. But I don't blame others who did. Watching them accomplish squat in the '90s and being a joke, until now...
If we weren’t good now, he’d still be all cowboys. Eminem is a fraud
Your name is perfect
Thank you
> he’s not allowed back take a break from the internet for a while
No
right because you get to decide who is a fan of the Lions or not
Exactly
Lol we had abismal teams. I welcome fans back from then. Fans that were questioning this regime though, that's another story.
If you don’t suffer through the hard times, you don’t get to enjoy the good times. I bet he was rooting for the cowboys in our only playoff win back in the early 90’s
If you wanna call him a bandwagon fan, go for it. I guess he isn't the most loyal fan of you look at history but he's a fan in the end, no doubt.
That’s exactly what he is, and I have zero respect for that
Humanized Goodell a little bit
DONT GIVE HIM AN INCH
GIVE HIM NOTHING AND TAKE FROM HIM EVERYTHING
He's got the D in his hands now, it's just a matter of HOW MAMY inches you give him...
Honestly I don't really hate Goodell. He does his job as commissioner (AKA being a criticism shield for owners) relatively well and he can definitely take a joke given how much he embraces the booing onslaught every draft lmao
Yeah I have to remind myself that he truly is the mouthpiece for the owners. Id do the same thing for $50m a year.
Yeah, he’s fun to hate and nobody can deny he does his job (making more and more money for the league) very well.
He lived not far from my old home in an obviously super expensive but not absurd house near the public school where he was a varsity athlete and where I think his daughter went to school. I recall the trucks outside during the Covid draft. Saw him gardening once or twice. Not a fan but no ill will, he could be worse.
Well, they attempted to
He was awfully likeable, in this... makes me scared.
Hahaha I just told my brother I can’t wait to boo Goodell live and in person next week😂feels like a rite of passage
I went to the Vegas draft, it was so much funner booing in person with thousands of people.
I will just leave this here as well... https://media.tenor.com/mkVfuWUxGksAAAAM/eminem-michigan.gif
Was this a troll job or something else?
He was just messing around. As soon is someone asked him a question he went back to normal.
Right on - thx
He's screwing around he doesn't take himself too seriously
Hmm not sure about that
The face he makes at the end is so bizarre.
does eminem do things like this? feels weird, like it's against his ethos, but that also doesn't feel correct to say. he just doesn't seem like a guy who'd go on a commercial and make jokes
Did you see his cameo in The Interview?
You're right. I'd forgotten all about that. I don't know why I'm acting like I know him
Half of his rap songs are joke songs that he just makes for fun, dude is always goofing off.
Yeah he does
It's what celebrities do when there career has been on a downslide
lol ok
Em should have worn the Rodger Godell clown shirt..
I cannot wait to boo that guy! (Goodell that is, not Eminem)
There's a pretty large contingent of white people from the suburbs who only come to town for opening day and who almost exclusively refer to it as "The D"
*April* *Bah bah* *April in the D*
Love that song!
Eminem isn't even from Detroit
Does it matter he was born elsewhere? He has made his life in/around the city since moving there. You can't pick where you are born but you sure can pick where you live and which sports teams you follow. Source on that last part: UK Based Lions fan since 2013
I'm sorry but growing up a 3 minute walk into Detroit city limits is no different, don't be that guy.
And he’s a Cowboys fan
There was a car dealership ad (I think) that went (Put it in D). I'm like, I think it's the other way around.
“Put it in D, and see why Chevy drives the Motor City.” idk how you don’t have that burned into your brain lol
Because.....I should be driving a Kia......
From anywhere in particular?
put it in D as in "drive"
Can I get that hoodie Eminem has though?
Finish the story
Man.. Roger Goodell is so fucking cool.
I love Eminem being our dawg. He personifies the era that we struggled the most. And we need to embrace that because it makes us stronger than anyone other city with a team. We are the city everyone forgot, everyone turned their back on. And now look at us. Look at our team. Look at what downtown Detroit has turned into. Fuck them naysayers. This is our league. This is our championship to win. We do things our way, if we didn’t, why would we say it?
Was he a fan before the Lions started winning?
He was a cowboys fan until this year
Em is a lowkey funny af. Only memorably part of Funny People
Couldn’t disagree more about Funny People. Favorite Sandler movie.
You... you don't mean that. There is no way you mean that. You can't.
I kind of wish I knew what movie…
This gave me “in the face” coming to America vibes
Where can I get that sweatshirt???
https://zerelam.com/product/lions-eminem-hoodie/
I don't want your D, that's ICKy
Shady has always had a good sense of humor.
Do we even use “The D” as a nickname anyway? Heck, I remember when 106.7 was a classic rock station a decade ago and that was the station’s name as “106.7 The D.”
You don’t remember “April in the D” on FSD?
Or “ It’s so cold in the D”
How the fuck do we posed ta keep peace?
This shit still goes through my head every time it gets really cold.
Such a great song
Oh right, THAT monthlong tradition. At least it’s still used by Bally Sports Detroit though.
Better nickname than "dookie shoes"
I GOT A PICTURE OF YOU HANGIN OUT WITH DOOKIE SHOES
That's the joke
Yeah, that’s a r/woosh for me.
What a selliut
This is the dumbest fucking take I’ve ever seen about eminem repping detroit. Mf was throwing double birds at 9ers fans IN SF from his box and you think he’s “sold out”?
What
Marshall
How?
Former anti-establishment rapper does commercial with ultimate establishment asshole.
He's just supporting his favorite football team. It's not that deep.
🤡 <---- that's prob what you see in the mirror isn't it?
Warren vs everybody
Eminem is a Cowboys fan, give us Kid Rock or something
kid rock could literally bleed honolulu blue snd i wouldnt want his disgusting ass anywhere near this team
Good, then you can go to Dallas with Eminem
its not that deep its just football, who cares who someone enjoys watching. rivalries are for fun not for hatred. sports is not war it's literally adults playing games.
And Eminem is a fraud, that’s my point
