The Lions lost to the Cowboys yesterday and their 2014-15 season is over. The last time they won a league championship was 1957. I was 23 years old and in the Army in Germany. I think it was 20,827 days ago.
The Lions led for a time, but it all unraveled in the last 10 or so minutes. A terrible call by the officials helped Dallas. One of their defensive backs had been called for pass interference. The penalty had been announced to the crowd. Detroit had a first down on the Dallas 29.
But, wait! Suddenly the flags were picked-up. The ball was returned to the original line of scrimmage. The referee is said, "There is no penalty on the play." It was fourth and one at the Dallas 46 yard line. Then, the Detroit punter shanked his kick and it only traveled 10 yards. Dallas scored. Ball game over.
So, it's 20,827 days and counting.
"The Lions, may they always win. But, the Lions, win or lose."
