We all
know the Lions haven’t won in Wisconsin in 22 years. Robert and I are trying to
figure out why.
- Cheese is Lions’ kryptonite. It weakens them and will ultimately kill them if they are exposed to it for a long enough period of time.
- Matt Millen.
- Barry Sanders’ early retirement.
- Brett Favre.
- Aaron Rodgers.
- …even Matt Flynn.
- The long flight over Lake Michigan induces terrible and debilitating jet lag.
- Robert’s double-jointed knuckle hexing.
- Matt Millen.
- I once saw a sticker where Calvin (of Calvin and Hobbes fame, not Johnson) was micturating on a Ford insignia. That must have something to do with it.
- It’s incredibly difficult to leave the lovely city of Detroit. Once you are there, you never want to go anywhere else. Seriously, beautiful.
- The Appleton nightlife causes curfew issues. It has for me.
- Seriously, though, Matt Millen.
- Lions’ natural habitat is not frozen tundra. They prefer the savannah and grasslands of sub-Saharan Africa, or in captivity in Ford Field.
- Because...aliens?
- The palpable intimidation of playing in the greatest sports arena in the world.
- The palpable intimidation of playing in front of the greatest fans in the world.
- Detroit may have invented the actual tailgate, but Packers’ fans perfected its use. Witnessing parking lots full of their invention being used against them is just too brutal to see.
- The Lions’ intense desire to be in the record books for something, even if it is futility. Any publicity is good publicity.
- “I
don’t know why either, guys.”
- Well, you see, when one team scores more points than the other, that team is going to win. The Packers have scored more points than the Lions. This is a classic Maddenism, and would seem to me to be an accurate assessment as to why the Lions can’t win.
- They’re the Lions and always will be. I think this might be the correct answer.
If If you’ve got any ideas about why the Lions constantly fail in Wisconsin, please let us know.
