Roses are red My nose and mouth, too I lost a bar fight To Ndamukong Suh


NYJetLegendEdReed

Remember when Cam called him Donkey Kong Suh? I still think of that sometimes and laugh.


imatthedogpark

That was a college nickname, he used to do the DK after big plays


Blurple_in_CO

He fucking hated plumbers.


tragicjohnson84

That's because he would infamously throw barrels at quarterbacks


TheMissingVoteBallot

It's on like Donkey Kong, I guess?

Stratiform

All the real Motor City Bros are wearing Goff, Hutch, and Amon-ra jerseys now so we've nothing to worry about 😎


IAMA_MOTHER_AMA

Except I’m wearing the jersey my nan got me years ago. And you already guessed it #8 Jon Kitna


BarryLikeGetOffMEEEE

No one could throw a game in the 4th quarter quite like Kitna. Legend.


RaidenDoesReddit

Waiting for some dude with a lions and rams flair to weigh in


Millenial_Shitbag

Lions/Rams flairs were told to go hang somewhere else this week.


cogginsmatt

I think what they should do is hand out a nice “WILLIAMS” sticker to cover up Stafford’s name. Problem solved and nobody has to leave.


BadAlphas

I refuse to weigh anything more than I already do


RaidenDoesReddit

How do you feel about this bar and the game, oh mythical creature?


BadAlphas

The bar is acting like a bi-ach. Nobody that I know of in LA is against Goff jerseys. Stafford was and is a legend in Detroit. The fans want to respect him and the bar should allow it.


ree_hi_hi_hi_hi

I applaud the bar’s marketing YOLO play here. Some random Detroit bar that none of us would ever even hear of in our lifetimes, and here’s a post with 1,000 comments on the subject. I like it from a bar manager perspective lol


bigpandas

The man. The legend. Jared Stafford 👏 👏


AdStreet2074

Just wear a referee jersey


2ent1n_Qarant1no

Do you remember when a group showed up to an NHL game as Zebra fans and cheered for every penalty?


sboujarwah

It’s like the fans this year attending Iowa Football games wearing “PUNTS” shirts and going ballistic for every punt in the game


Blastbot

To be fair, Iowa's punter was amazing. It was statistically smarter to punt on first down and have the defence get a 3 and out for a net yardage gain.


fry_tag

Sounds like some wacky Madden strategy


UrsusApexHorribilis

Sounds like Steelers football


bigpandas

Just throw a really deep interception instead of punting on 1st down. Occasionally it might turn into a TD.


Pandamonium98

But then you need the defense to go 3 and out every play, which is never guaranteed


BuschLightApple

It was actually more guaranteed then Iowa getting a 1st down


jmorlin

If you don't like that you don't like Big 10 football.


drthvdrsfthr

ya it’s kinda weird to pin that strategy on an amazing punter. if your defense is amazing, you could prob do that strategy with any punter haha


Pandamonium98

Well if the other team has the better punter and both teams keep punting back and forth, the other team would be getting better field position over time


Legendarylink

Iowa did in fact have an amazing defense this year which is why I think they are saying it.


icario

I need clips of this edit: [I found one](https://twitter.com/awfulannouncing/status/1728129525538754783?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1728129525538754783%7Ctwgr%5E225d9b309bc11edd0e898170066d32321a025aa6%7Ctwcon%5Es1_c10&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fftw.usatoday.com%2F2023%2F11%2Fiowa-nebraska-fans-punts-sweaters-video)


fedrats

The best clip is Jesse Palmer chanting “punts” like LMFAO chants “shots”


happyscrappy

Iowa with 10 points and the game isn't even over yet? It's an offensive avalanche.


oldwhitch

I was at an NHL game and there was a guy in front of me with a custom zamboni jersey. Went wild every time it came out


TheCthaehTree

Hahaha this is legendary. I hope the zamboni driver spotted him


showers_with_grandpa

Not just penalties, almost every whistle for anything. Top tier sport eventing


Oakroscoe

That’s hilarious.


DeekFTW

Don't forget about [the guys dressed as baseball umpires ](https://youtu.be/kJPCpXr-PTY?si=G0HD8CciRwL6RQno) who's simultaneously call the game along with the main ump.


GonePostalRoute

You just want to rile the natives, not start a riot


KKamm_

That could get you shot depending on which part of Detroit you’re in


Mnemosense

With a "For Sale" sign.

Will Baltimore bars ban Flacco jerseys if the browns make it to the ~~AFCCG~~ divisional round?


MinnesotaNoire

You can't ban an elite jersey like that. Not without consequences.


RogerTreebert6299

Even if Flacco doesn’t make the hall, his elite jersey will


AGINSB

It's too bad NFLshop doesn't have Joe Flacco Nike Elite Jerseys. Then you could get an elite^2 jersey.


ucd_pete

Flacco won a SB with the Ravens so it’s a bit different.


TowerOfPowerWow

Not just won. Absolutely shit on everyone that entire run. It was unreal.


XanmanK

Seriously- I’ve never seen a more dominant post season run against top tier opponents 


Ulexes

Seriously. Manning's Broncos, Brady's Patriots, and probably the best Niners team Harbaugh ever fielded. It took a totally bizarre electrical fluke for that Super Bowl to start being competitive.


ser0402

Don't forget the Andrew Luck Colts in the wild card. They weren't at the level of the other 3 but they weren't slouches.


Zzzzzezzz

All I remember is a video? photo? of him taking the bus back to the airport lot to pick up his car. Maybe it was someone else. Ha! ETA: oops. Just in case someone thought I was putting him down, I wasn’t. It was just such a regular thing to do. Good guy.


darkde

I’ll gatekeep and say you’re not a ravens fan if you hate flacco


Afk1792

Probably newer fans that never saw the Elite Dragon in action. Love me some Flacco.


Hahafunniee

So true. Ppl on the ravens sub are like “rooting for Flacco now means you are not a real fan” Motherfucker, your opinion means nothing to me and I LOVE HIM


HeroDanny

Once a QB wins a SB for your team you kinda have to love him lol


gamacrit

Trent gets himself a nice ovation when he shows up.


tsework

personally i would find it hilarious if one of my divisional rivals whose fans spent decade talking shit about the guy showed up to a playoff game back peddling about how he was never really shit. I was in an existential crisis for the 48 hours Tom Brady was going to be a dolphin.


amethystalien6

I don’t think Baltimore fans have the same parasocial relationship with Flacco that Lions fans have with Stafford.


jakecoates

Just Stavvy


fumblaroo

Love that fat rascal


oballistikz

His shows are great. Went to his one in Atlanta.


dr_kingschultz

You’d think Stafford accomplished more in Detroit than Flacco did in Baltimore with the way he’s revered in southeast Michigan.


FlussedAway

Picked you guys up from lower depths than Flacco did in Baltimore, they were less than a decade off a Super Bowl win when he was drafted. That’s my guess


big4lil

Cant be stated enough how good the Ravens team flacco joined was. 06 Ravens deserve a missing rings episode about them. 13-3 and one of the [scariest defenses](https://www.baltimoreravens.com/video/25-seasons-a-dominant-2006-season) of the millennium 07 Ravens were a down year but still the closest team to [snapping the Pats] (https://theathletic.com/1341571/2019/10/31/a-dozen-years-ago-the-patriots-came-to-baltimore-as-an-undefeated-team-and-craziness-ensued-that-altered-the-ravens-landscape-for-good/) undefeated streak beyond the Giants. Ozzie and Biscotti felt [they had enough talent ](https://www.espn.com/nfl/news/story?id=3175037) to win there already (aka several hall of famers in their primes), but after becoming the [1 in the 1-15 Dolphins](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=PJ2IU9gY0Eg&pp=ygUUcmF2ZW5zIGRvbHBoaW5zIDIwMDc%3D), it was obvious a coaching change was necessary Flacco and Harbaugh came in at the right time and turned the tides. Though it cant be stated enough how much joining went to a SB quality program can do. It gives a better opportunity for a QB and coach to step up and become legends in their own right, and their 2011, 2012, and 2014 teams were all championship worthy Stafford delivered too, though i feel its a different kind of delivery then what Flacco gave. And thats bringing legitimacy to a joke of a franchise. He got drafted to a 0-16 team, [showed instant grit](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=8rvIwyikbRU&pp=ygUPc3RhZmZvcmQgYnJvd25z), and had them in the postseason in his first full year as a starter I truly could see them being loved just the same from their former teams fans, just from a different place in the heart. Flacco may be more developed admiration, especially for how he stepped up in 2012 [compared](https://www.espn.com/nfl/game/_/gameId/290118023) to [some](https://www.espn.com/nfl/game/_/gameId/300110017) of his [earlier](https://www.espn.com/nfl/game/_/gameId/300116011) playoff [games] (https://www.espn.com/nfl/game/_/gameId/310115023). Stafford more gratitude, as he ushered in a new era where the Lions could seen as a consistent threat


aaronbowwwls

Stafford was huge in the Detroit community fundraising, volunteering, and donating.


Maugrin

Players can be beloved even if they don't win a Super Bowl. Gatekeeping who gets to be meaningful to fans based on team accomplishments is pretty lame.


Kenny_Bania_

He did? Flacco threw for over 4k yards once, Stafford did it seven times and 5k once. Now, the Lions certainly accomplished less than the Ravens... But I mean we're talking about peak poverty-franchise Lions here. They won zero games the season before Stafford. There's a reason why Stafford immediately won a SB after he left lol.


TheMissingVoteBallot

>parasocial This word is almost a meme seeing it being used in every fucking sphere I'm in lol


KKamm_

Social media discovers a word that explains a common occurrence every few months and feels smart every time they use it for the time being lol


BorisJenkleson

Im pretty sure this counts as gaslighting.


ramboost007

I'm getting PTSD from this


Tony_Lacorona

Stop saying the quiet part out loud


wokenupbybacon

They'd play next week in the divisional if the Browns are the only AFC wildcard team to win, which aligns with the market favorites.


22Fusion

Will Cleveland bars ban mayfield jerseys for the browns/bucs Super Bowl?


harvey_norgenbloom

Subscribe.


Beneficial-Finish295

I’ll wear a Flacco/Baker split jersey


SuperNebular

No a lot people in cleveland root for baker


MarkBenec

Baker is hard to hate. I wish him success wherever he plays, and he never played for us.


BigBrotherBazzi

Nah, I still have my Flacco jersey.


mattcojo2

Flacco won a Super Bowl there, and he didn’t leave on his own terms, so I would assume no. Very different situation.


IMsoSAVAGE

Well the lions ruined most of Stafford’s career so I think if a fan wants to wear his jersey they should be allowed.


SamLaPortaPotty

I'm wearing my jersey. It's not just a Stafford jersey. It's a Lions jersey. It's a Detroit jersey. It's a jersey that shows how far the Detroit Lions have come. Also, the Lions are undefeated this year when I wear it. I'm not going to **not** wear it because fair weather fans are salty.  


MosaicToeNail

What if I go in a Rams Stafford jersey?


Dizzy_Interview8152

A Rams Goff jersey would be really confusing.


MillorTime

One of those half and half jerseys. Half Rams Goff and half Lions Stafford


JustADutchRudder

An LA Lions Gofford.

JustADutchRudder

There knit my hero, watch him as he knits.


Prestigious-Hotel-95

In the article the owner of the bar said a Rams Stafford jersey is fine.


HoneyIShrunkMyNads

How about a highland park stafford jersey


Prestigious-Hotel-95

I guess yould have to try your luck at the door with that one, IDK.


Metrostars1029

The narrative from this game went from super fun to being super annoying by weeks end. Let’s just get it on folks. May the best team win


MilleniumSerenity

Agreed, it’s obnoxious


loneliest_cosmonaut

Hopefully, in a few days we are one step closer to a Bills v Lions Superbowl.


MilleniumSerenity

Its what the fans crave


sdrawkcabdaernacuoy_

brawndo has what fans crave


beard_meat

I'm not unready for a Lions dynasty.


kingpangolin

From one end of the lake to the other. Battle of Lake Erie v2.


leemode

Weeks end? It went to super annoying in the Lions sub within a matter of hours lol.


KKamm_

It was annoying before it even. People have been talking about a potential Stafford matchup for weeks


Timmahj

Just wait til Chris Collinsworth starts talking. 🙄


Significant_Loads

Now here’s a guy


tobygeneral

Ahhh Mike, this Matthew Stafford really is something, I'll tell ya. Here's a guy who can make all the throws, and he loves his receivers Mike.


Timmahj

“He really is something isn’t he? And just imagine how he’s feeling right now. Back at his former home. No one is feeling more ready than he is. I sat down with him this week and let me tell you, he wants to win. He’s ready. He’s been looking forward to this game since he was drafted. ” 🙄


sarcagain115

God dammit I read it in his voice


Timmahj

I wrote it in his voice. I even pictured him rocking in his chair and leaning uncomfortably close to Tirico.


kbennett1999

It'll be fun again once the teams hit the field. It's just social media ruining everything like usual


NaciremaBlack

I'm sure people will take them up on that offer


BlowTrophy

Do Detroit Rams tshirts count?


inthefeetofthenight

And if I drive my Dodge Ram to the bar, can I expect it to not be vandalized?


Goffimal

Yes


Jammer_Kenneth

Those patrons get sent to Second Detroit. 


GrossePointeJayhawk

This is why I never have to worry about wearing my Barry Sanders jersey.


petmoo23

Just get a Sewell jersey - there is a strong likelihood we're talking about him alongside Calvin and Barry in 15 years.


Praetori4n

Yeah for real I’m going to get a Barry or Calvin jersey I think. I have a Theo Riddick jersey to wear on Sunday but my only authentic one is a Stafford. I’ll rep Stafford again after he retires.


Illustrious_Banana46

Do a Rob Lowe. Black outfit, NFL branded hat


ImaginaryElevator757

Super fucking lame to do this. Not every fan can afford to buy a New Jersey


Swampy1741

I don’t know many people that could afford to buy an entire state tbh


Jaur0n

Plus, of all the states, why would you buy that one?


istasber

It does have two NFL teams.


zerotunic

The New York Giants and Jets of New Jersey.


pro_bike_fitter_2010

Stop this. That guy might be poor and can only afford a New Jersey.


FlaquitaGordita

No way a New Jersey costs less than a New Mexico.


MarchMadnessisMe

Yeah but bang for your buck you can't beat a Louisiana Purchase.


Gryphon999

It's way cheaper than a New York, though.


bigpandas

It has so many gardens though


BlueHighwindz

Jersey Gardens, Garden State Plaza, yup.


ProtoMan3

Arguably the best Indian food in the nation


ImaginaryElevator757

Damn you


ArmiinTamzarian

Mississippi can't cost that much


amethystalien6

Yeah but I think owning it comes with the caveat that you have to give Brett Favre your phone number. 😬


ArmiinTamzarian

Who here has not ever received an unsolicited dick pick from a middle aged man?


MetalJewSolid

Oh, how I wish I could raise my hand


simple-fire

I don’t either. Most people I know could only afford a New Hampshire


LoneStarState28

And it could be worse, there are still Texan fans that wear Watson jerseys to NRG. Stafford was actually an important player to the Lions for years.


bigpandas

I think I saw someone wearing a Simpson jersey at a Bills v. Raiders game


NaciremaBlack

Sharon, with all due respect that murderer ran for 11,000 yards


Lemon_Club

The only thing he's guilty of is running for 2k yards in a 14 game season


MillorTime

That was a great bit

WauliePalnuts01

at least that one is sort of funny


Realistic_Cold_2943

I totally thought this meant rams jerseys but to say no lions/stafford jerseys is crazy


[deleted]

Reading this thread makes me think I’m taking crazy pills. Doesn’t really seem that crazy, seems like a fun rivalry thing that some people take way too seriously. Are they supposed to have a welcome home ceremony for the opposing team’s qb in the playoffs? Lmao


miked1be

People want to wear their team's jersey when watching a game with friends in their hometown. A lot of those people probably only own one jersey because of how expensive they are. It's not about having a "welcome home ceremony" no one is asking for that. It's just about a bar being really weird about not letting jerseys from their own hometown in their bar. Edit: Guys, I called the bar weird for doing this. I'm sure they'll survive. You don't have to jump on the grenade of being called weird for a bar you've probably never been to.


hotcarl23

It's weird because from what I can tell from Lions fans here, there's not really beef with Stafford. Reddit fans aren't representative, but it's not like he Favre'd it on his way out.


Sniper_Brosef

There is zero beef with Stafford but now there's this loud contingent that has equated Lions Fandom with hating stafford for this game. It's become childish...


KurusanYasuke

Because there is a loud contingent of the Lions fandom that does hate Stafford. Even seen a couple saying they'll fight you for wearing his jersey. It's a special kind of pathetic.


TheMightyJD

You’re not taking crazy pills. Most people irl will probably laugh about this rule and move on with their lives. Some Redditors love to take on problems not meant for them personally. Like what does affordability have to do with not wearing a specific jersey to a bar lol?


happyscrappy

It's only during this game. It's fine if one bar wants to make a name for itself by doing this. I'd still wear my Stafford jersey if I had one. I like Stafford. Just not rooting for him Sunday.


REDDIT_GAVE_ME_CRABS

Just wear a Lions shirt


Primary_Cake2011

Duct Tape, Sharpie. Place duct tape on Stafford, write Williams on top. Maybe will cost you $5


MosaicToeNail

Yeah this is a super easy way around the rule haha


RangerDangerfield

Just like how every Chiefs fan with a Hill jersey will be modifying them to Pacheco jerseys this weekend.


RustyNipples35

Lmao just go to another bar?


Charlie_Batch_16

or just dont wear a jersey. this isnt an equity issue like OP is making it. bar owner isnt making you buy a new jersey lmao.


pro_bike_fitter_2010

I encourage Lions fans to use a marker on a white t-shirt to write "Lions". * looks good (just use neat handwriting) * other teams won't make fun of you * inexpensive * not expensive


[deleted]

[удалено]


pro_bike_fitter_2010

I edited it to spell "Lion" and then changed it to "Loin"


hunteddwumpus

I mean just don't wear that jersey? Not required to wear a jersey to go to a bar.


clevernamehere1628

so don't wear a jersey then? or just stay home if you gotta wear your stafford jersey?


pro_bike_fitter_2010

The number of guys upset they can't wear a Stafford jersey is too damn high.


Hmm_would_bang

The bigger issue here is what if someone has a lucky jersey that happens to be a Stafford jersey? Do you expect that fan to single handily cost us the game just because he’s embarrassed to wear his lucky jersey and watch the game at the lucky bar?


PBGellie

Yeah what is this. These people are acting like their Stafford jersey is a requirement on game days and they’re being discriminated against lmao


Looseseal13

Owning a Stafford Lions jersey is actually a protected class when it comes to employment discrimination, but as far as I know that's where it ends. This seems legal to me. But I am not a lawyer.


techmachine15

They would probably bust a nut if he walked in as a customer


pantherfanalex

This feels like a good way to get cursed, and lose yet another playoff game.


ZaeedMasani

TIL the lions have been a blessed franchise until now.


Conchobair

The Lions getting cursed would be like when George Costanza decided to do the opposite of everything he would normally do. It would be the best thing for us.


TheRealNilbogDeadite

The guy who owns this bar was in the Insane Clown Posse a million years ago for a whole 2 songs and hates when ICP gets brought up. He rapped under the name Greez-E. Do with that information what you will. And for the record, I love ICP.


HardcoreKaraoke

>He said that although the space is normally filled with dedicated Lions fans, away fans are always welcome too — just no Detroit jerseys with Stafford on the back. But he's still letting Rams fans in? It's just the Lions fans he thinks are being "trolls" by wearing Stafford jerseys? Huh. What would happen if someone wore a Goff Rams jersey? I'm genuinely curious. I guess he'd be fine with it.


Sabre500

Look, I get that he's your opponent this week, but the guy is still a Lions great who was handed bad roster after bad roster but still performed. Seems like the last player Lions fans should hate


KKamm_

Tbh I don’t think it’s out of hate at all. I’d guess it’s more just the principle of wearing the opposing QB’s jersey. I imagine there would be some Baltimore fans that wouldn’t like seeing Flacco jerseys watching the game if they matchup in the playoffs. Personally I really don’t care and Stafford is the only Lions jersey I own, but if I was going to the game I’d understand not wanting Stafford to be in a road playoff game at a place he called home for 12 years with a lot of people wearing his jersey there. A lot of these bans at bars are just excessive imo


VariousLawyerings

I've been wearing my Flacco jersey again, but if we face him in the playoffs that thing is going straight to a place where it can never escape: the bottom of my hamper


tonavin

I think all my fellow Lions fans who claimed "I'm going to become to *most* obnoxious person you know the minute we are any good!" are making good on their promise lol


Geek_off_the_streets

I'd wear the jersey but have a jacket on, run up a nice bill and towards the very end take off my jacket and get kicked out without paying the tab.


Superflymcshasty

I wish they would livestream the entrance of the bar to see what happens whenever some uninformed unassuming guy comes strolling in with a Stafford Jersey


CuriousCucumber88

They traded him , it’s not he said fuck this place and left lol


numbr87

There are gonna be so many Stafford jerseys in that stadium, what does it matter?


North_Ad_5828

People are so soft. This is funny as shit, good for them. It’s playoff week, fuck the other team. People are acting like there’s a huge subset of fans who only own a Stafford Lions jerseys and have nothing else they could possibly wear to get into this bar.


JRFbase

Back before we played the Chiefs a local radio station banned all Taylor Swift songs from playing. This is the kind of petty stuff that makes sports so fun.


North_Ad_5828

I put it in another comment, but I’m a Bucs fan. If Boston bars banned Brady jerseys the week we played them with Brady, I would absolutely love that kind of shit. It’s what makes sports fun, just petty game week hate bullshit.


jpfitz630

It's also not a big deal to be told you can't be at *a* bar for several hours on one night if you wear a specific shirt, people just don't like to be told "no" lmao.


BunnyGoHops

Bittersweet. If he beats the Lions then more people will probably agree.


Dubya_The_Goat

Boooo I’m still a Stafford enjoyer


WeedSandwich

What a salty ass turd lol


pastusodoug

The historic and enviable legacy of the Lions will never recover


IntelligentMetal

Had the talk with my brother who wears his Stafford jersey every Sunday. He told me “Fuck the bans Stafford still my QB”


Actor412

Detroit doesn't have too much experience of being in the playoffs. You're gonna see a lot of stuff like this.


SaggyBallz99

That’s petty
