DETROIT—Euphoria gave way to deep, unwavering depression Sunday when
fans celebrating the Detroit Lions' first win in two years realized the utter
insignificance of the accomplishment, and how pathetic their
unadulterated joy must have looked to the rest of the country.
"I actually jumped into the arms of a complete stranger because we won
against a team that finished in last place last year," Lions fan Joe Kula
said of the team's 19-14 victory over the Redskins.
"Celebrating a week-three victory like we just won a Super Bowl is not
only unwarranted, it is preposterous and humiliating.
We're a terrible football team. Oh, my God, we're so terrible."
A postgame effort by the Lions to build a victory stage at the 50-yard
line to honor the achievement was abandoned mid-construction
