Detroit Lions: If Matthew Stafford goes, then everyone must go
FINAL JEOPARDY
On Monday’s episode of the game show “Jeopardy,” one of the clues read as follows (video of the clue included):
"“As of 2018, this NFC North team had never even made the Super Bowl, much less won it, but by 2030? Gotta happen, right?”"
The answer (or the question actually) is of course: “What are the Detroit Lions?”
Having to wait another 12 years sounds really bad. But to be honest, I would take a Super Bowl appearance (and hopefully win) by the 2030 season.
It’s actually kind of funny that the clue says “as of 2018” because right now is the 2018 season. Super Bowl LIII will occur in February 2019, but the team that wins will be known as the 2018 champions – The Philadelphia Eagles won in February 2018, but are considered the champions of 2017.
So, this clue not only predicts having to wait another decade (if at all) to win the title, but it has already predicted that Detroit will not win this year.

Part of me wants to complain and contact the people at “Jeopardy.” They should be told that the Detroit Lions could still win in 2018. Then, after a moment of considering this god-awful season, it sounds about right.
