Tens of hundreds of Detroit Lions fans were left in dejected awe of their team's past winless season, most laying blame on owners and management for putting together a historically awful squad over the years.

Britney Spears did it. Everything from the 80s did it. Why not the Lions?
The players and coaches have already gotten the axe, and it's only fitting that even the team logo get a facelift, lest anything survives from a team that gave up 517 points in 16 games. (That's 32 point allowed per game, folks.)

Here we were, thinking that all of the losing was a product of bad quarterbacking, a defense that's dead last in almost every category, and a worthless wide receiving corps outside of anyone named Calvin Johnson. Turns out that the team has been running blind all along. Just shows to go ya: Never judge a shitty team until you see the whites of their eyes.
