As a 51 year old, I can't help but like the 49rs. Why is that? They won a bunch of Superbowls and I liked them. But then the Cowboys won a bunch of Superbowls and I hated them. Why the difference? LOL.
I also root for Matthew Stafford but if he wins in LA, what does that say about the Lion's franchise? I'd rather believe Stafford wasn't good enough to win it all. LOL. But I can't help root for him because I know Detroit sucks. Even a great QB would come here and suck.
Look at the Jets. They always get good draft picks. It's where good draft picks go to die. LOL.
Dion Sanders on playing for Detroit:
Nearly everyone in the front office wanted to take a flashy cornerback named Deion Sanders, who had also broken all of Florida State's punt return records
and already been drafted by the New York Yankees to play baseball.
But Sanders didn't want to play in Detroit. A terrible team in a cold weather city? No, thanks. Had the Lions pulled the trigger, he
famously said he "would've asked for so much money they would've had to put me on layaway."
