The Hangover Of Following The Detroit Lions

He Detroit Tigers and Texas Rangers have to deal with the hangover of following the

Detroit Lions on Monday Night Football.The Tigers and Rangers played Game 3 of the American League Championship Series Tuesday at Comerica Park.While the crowd was big and lively, it wasnt of the same craziness of the Tigers-Yankees series.The Tigers were down 2-0 going into the game and the Lions have taken over the headlines in the city.Thats especially evident after the Lions win over the Chicago Bears to run their record to 5-0.You should have seen this place after the win, said Tom Warner of Livonia. Wholesale cheap jerseys I was at the football game and it was nuts, just nuts. It was so loud, the Bears took nine false start penalties.If the Lions keep winning, this city will erupt. The fans Tuesday at the park were more restrained than they were were coming in against the Yankees. With the Tigers 5-2 win Tuesday, they were back in the baseball mode.The Detroit Lions will be no one-hit wonder, is what I'm saying.Not that the Lions have recorded their first hit yet. They haven't -- this franchise has never been to the Super Bowl, and has just one playoff victory since 1958 -- and I understand that. But it's a matter of time. Could be a few years. Could be a few months. But it's going to happen. This team is going to the Super Bowl, and it's not going to stop at one. That's my prediction, and not merely because of what I just saw Monday night.

Although what I saw was awfully impressive.Other than ancient kicker Jason Hanson and the offensive line, which has two 11-year veterans in left tackle Jeff Backus and center Dominic Raiola, the Lions are young and good, which means they're going to get better as they get older. And already they're terrific, joining the defending Super Bowl champion Packers as the only undefeated teams left in the NFL.Like the NFC North rival Packers, who are literally owned by their fan base, the Lions have a special relationship at home. It's a newish relationship, but it's special nonetheless. Once on the short list for potential blackouts every week, the Lions now have quite possibly the loudest home-field advantage in the league. Cheap MLB jerseys That's a subjective statement, and I don't know that it's true, but I do know this: My ears have never ached at a football field like they ached Monday night -- and I've never seen a visiting team be rendered so helpless at the line of scrimmage by crowd noise.The Bears committed nine false-start penalties, a head-shaking number that ranks right up there with Calvin Johnson's nine touchdowns in five games for shock value. Six of those pre-snap penalties came in the first half, the other three in the fourth quarter when the Bears were trying to rally.
