We know that it sucks to be a Detroit Lions fan.
Your team always sucks, you’re the laughingstock of the league and usually of America as a whole, your best defensive player is a piece of shit as a human being and the only thing your quarterback leads the league in is face fat. And then, when you make your once-a-decade trip to the playoffs, you get totally sodomized by the officials.
That’s a tough pill to swallow.
Understandably, Detroit Lions fans are a little miffed. So miffed that some of them got together and bought up some billboard space to, I don’t know… complain publicly about the officials?
There are now multiple Detroit Lyin’ billboards on display in the Detroit metro area. Each of them has an image of an official and that text. You know, because Detroit Lyin’ sounds real similar to Detroit Lion and those refs are some lying fools!
Or something like that.
Anyway, these clowns — who wanted to remain anonymous — are obviously really pissed. Billboard space goes for $1000 a week in the Detroit market.
Unfortunately for the Lions, we all know the NFL wanted a Dallas-Green Bay match-up in the divisional round. Waaaaaaaaaay sexier than Detroit-Seattle and Carolina-Green Bay. You poor, pathetic Lions fans should have put one of these billboards up outside The Rog’s penthouse condo.
Either that or one with a giant middle finger.

That’s the other variation on suffering.
