A detroit isn't so much a thing rather it is a place. Oh I forgot...cavemen don't give names to places like that....

You haven't heard much of them yet but in the near future Billions will be watching them on TV for the final NFL game of the year. You do know what the NFL is don't you?

I did a Wikipedia search and found out some interesting tidbits about the team (Okay I'm lying I already knew some of this stuff but Wikipedia is a good source for quotes).

I guess that if you're looking for an underdog team to root for then the Detroit Lions are your team!
