Going to the Lions Game

These people live in arguably the worst city in the entire country. It's poor, dirty, and forgotten. Not to mention, this fan base has been on the butt end of jokes for the past 20 years so a lot of them are going relish in being able to talk sh1t to a team in worse shape for the time being, especially if you add alcohol. You're probably going to be in for a long day Sunday but a football game is never worth getting into a tussle about. Just mind your own business and hope the game doesn't get out of hand on the field.

I'll be there too, for what it's worth.

I lived in Michigan for 5 years, about an hour out of Detroit, and it was definitely one of the more depressing places I'd ever been (This was between 2003-2008, arguably the worst years there of the last few decades.)

I'm visiting some family, though, and we'll be attending the game. Not sure exactly where my seats are yet, but I'll be wearing the ol' blue Newton jersey in the midst of a bunch of Lions jerseys.

I'll still out-yell them all.

Detroit = New Orleans + cold.

I'll be there with a couple Lions fans as I'm from Detroit, well not Detroit but the suburbs.

Section 135

I can guarantee that I'll be the only person in the stadium with an authentic Biakabatuka jersey on, so if you see me, say hello.

And a word of advice to those of you who will be there, root for the Panthers all you want, but whatever you do, DO NOT TAUNT THE FANS!!!!!!

I'm serious, if we get a big play, yell and scream, but don't start looking around at the fans with your arms out and goading them, YOU WILL GET SOMETHING THROWN AT YOU!!!!

Now I've only been to I think 2 games at Ford Field, but I remember back at the Silverdome, it was a risk just to wear the opposing teams colors, it's not that bad now, but you can't taunt the fans or someone there is going to start something with you without a doubt.

I'll put it this way, I have a buddy of mine who goes to maybe half the home games every year, so he sees a lot, it took me about 3 months to convince him to go to the game with me because he didn't want to get hit with anything thrown at me.

    • I was checking out Chris Brazzell II measureables, and I thought they looked suspiciously familiar. Turns out it was true, almost identical measureables to former Panthers DJ Chark circa 2023. I even checked Terrace Marshall Jr results, and honestly isn't that far behind them.   I know this isn't unique for just our team, but we seem to specifically have an obsession with trying to make this tall lanky speedsters work for us. I admittedly wasn't that high on Brazzell, and when I watched the tape I didn't really see that 4.3 speed, and a strong wind seems to tackle him.   I really liked most of the draft, including getting Hecht in the 5th when I graded him as a #1 Center in this draft. I'm rooting for the guy to work out, especially since our HC and OC made their bones as Wide Receiver coaches. But Brazzell is the only one I'm kinda meh on. I was hoping we'd trade up to get Big Citrus, or if we went WR I liked Ted Hurst much better. We'll see though. 3rd rounders seem to be coin-flips for us (see DJ Johnson/Matt Corral). But I'm rooting for the guy and for this experiment to finally pay off.   I haven't seen anyone else post something about this, so just thought it was interesting and passing it along.   #keeppounding   -------------------------------------------------------------- AI Overview   Chris Brazzell II and D.J. Chark both possess nearly identical elite deep-threat profiles, highlighted by their tall, lanky builds and blazing sub-4.40 speed. Chark was slightly faster, while Brazzell offers a marginally heavier frame and longer wingspan. [1, 2, 3, 4] The side-by-side physical and athletic testing results from their respective NFL Scouting Combines outline their comparable profiles: [1] Metric [1, 2, 3, 4, 5] D.J. Chark (2018) Chris Brazzell II (2026) Height 6'3" 6'4" Weight 199 lbs 198 lbs Wingspan 78.5" 80.1" 40-Yard Dash 4.34 seconds 4.37 seconds 10-Yard Split ~1.50s (est.) 1.52 seconds Vertical Jump 40.0" 40.0" (pre-draft) Hand Size 9.25" 9.0" Analytical Comparison Size & Build: Both receivers offer an excellent catch radius with lanky, outside-threat frames. Brazzell holds a slight edge in height and an even more significant advantage in wingspan, giving him a massive target radius. Speed Profile: Chark famously recorded the fastest 40-yard dash time at his combine, while Brazzell was a standout at his event. Both times are elite for their size, translating directly to the "field-stretching" and vertical playmaking abilities that define their games. Draft Status: Chark was selected by the Jacksonville Jaguars in the second round (61st overall) of the 2018 Draft. Brazzell was selected by the Carolina Panthers in the third round (83rd overall) of the 2026 NFL Draft.
    • I still reserve my right to bitch about how incompetent the Panthers are at running a football organization and point to the mountains of evidence in support.
