After taking a beating at the hands of the New York Jets on Monday Night Football, the Detroit Lions (0-1) have a short week to prepare before heading out west to take on the San Francisco 49ers (0-1).

Mitch Albom destroys Detroit Lions fans for lack of support on MNF

I have been watching Detroit Lions football for a long, long time. I’ve been disappointed time and time again over the years but never have I been as disappointed as I was on Monday night as I watched my favorite team lay an egg on national television.

My hope was to make it out to the game but due to my wife having a “Bunco night” with her friends (which I am fine with, she deserves it), my only option was to watch the game on my television.

While watching the game unfold, I could hear the boos from the Ford Field crowd loud and clear and I thought to myself how glad I was that I did not drop a bunch of cash on such a sorry excuse for a football team. Had I went to the game, I would have refrained from booing my team because that is not my style, but I would not have looked down on anyone who did.

Detroit News writer Mitch Albom has a much different view on the fans booing than I do, which he is entitled to.
