Today just so happens to be the 29th anniversary of the Detroit Lions winning their last playoff game and for some unknown reason, NFL on CBS (or should I say the moron who runs their Twitter account) decided they were in the mood to troll.
Check out the unprovoked tweet below, which we assume was thought of by a hangry 8-year-old who missed breakfast, that is a “reminder” to everyone that the Lions have only won a single playoff game since 1958.
Reminder: the Lions have won 1 playoff game since 1958.

First of all, not a single NFL fan outside of Detroit gives a rat’s ass about when the Lions last won, and second, every single Lions fan is well aware of your deeply researched stat.
Following the tweet, plenty hopped into the comments to trash NFL on CBS and the channel as a whole.
Yes, the Lions are trash. But CBS, you are the Detroit Lions of network television, so sit your asses down.
Reminder: CBS in what was nominally the first week of a new fall season. The network's viewership was down a whopping 61% from the premiere week last year, the Nielsen company said. pic.twitter.com/bPfQsb1weG

@CBS @CBSSportsHQ @CBSSports Just a reminder that CBS still has the worst NFL Broadcasting Quality all around and even with our lack of playoff games we are very happy that the majority of our games are broadcast on @FOXSports !!!

CBS Sucks. They're already re-branding all access because no one likes it, and it was deemed the worst of all the streaming services because it doesn't offer anything useful or entertaining because its…well because its CBS. CBS is the Detroit Lions of TV…and I'm a Lions fan..
