Of that I am painfully aware. I was a Bengal fan first, but in the '80s I began to "respect" the Lions. We used to go to a game or two every season, and I saw in person Barry play all of his Thanksgiving Day games. So, I have lumped the two teams together for decades, and there are a few obvious similarities. Both have cat mascots, haven't known playoff success since the early '90s, are located near I-75, and are (were) controlled by a clueless, stubborn, decrepit dinosaur (Martha Firestone Ford in the Lions' case, though she formerly stepped down this past summer and handed the reins to her daughter).
Guess I need to pick yet a third team to respect....
