Obligatory Lions Loss Blog Entry

Congratulations to the Detroit Lions for their perfect season. Yes, they went all season without winning a game. Enough people have given their theories as to what the problem is and what needs to change that I won’t go into that here.
But I will say that the Lions are doing their part for the league. In order for teams to win, other teams must lose. The Lions, by going 0-and-16, are selflessly helping the other teams in the NFL by making more wins available. The Lions already had good draft choices in previous years, so I doubt they were going for that. So it must be that they just wanted to help.
Contrast that with my college: Cedarville University. They have not lost a football game since 1953. I even recall seeing T-shirts with that fact: “Undefeated since 1953”. As you may have guessed, 1952 was the last time they played a football game.
In case you thought the Lions looked bad, you should look at Cedarville’s 1932 season. Of particular note are two losses: 89-0 and 137-0.
