Also, forgive Lions fans who pass out in the middle of games in which their team gets up big on the hapless Minnesota Vikings and Joe Webb ends up playing quarterback.

I know, I know…the game ended with plenty of drama and the Vikings lining up for a potentially game-tying touchdown on the final snap, but were it not for the boredom and/or inebriation of one Lions fan in particular, we would never have been able to witness this incredible feat of Lions fandom.

]]> As a sports fan, I have very few expectations for the teams and the players I root for. I look to them for entertainment on Sunday and Monday night, where for three hours I don’t have to worry about my mortgage or my job or the braces my kid is going to need. I do not look to them for religious guidance or help raising my children.

I think most fans feel the same way I do. Now I realize that you, the professional athlete, don’t give two hoots about my opinion, but you have to realize, in the end, the fans pay your salary.
