My greatest day as a sports fan has yet to happen, but I’m holding out hope that it will happen before the day I die. The greatest day in my life, as far as being a fan of sports is concerned, will be if/when the Detroit Lions with the Super Bowl.
You can laugh all you want, but anything is possible in the world of sports. However, with over 50 Super Bowls already in the books, the Lions haven’t won a single one of them. In fact, they haven’t even played in a single Super Bowl. They haven’t even won a playoff game since the early 1990’s.
I’m a lifelong Detroit Lions fan and former season ticket holder. I suffered through many horrendous seasons, including purchasing season tickets for the worst season in NFL history. In 2008, I had three season tickets just three rows away from the field for the Detroit Lions. The Lions exited the preseason 4-0 and looked to have a decent season in front of them. That wasn’t the case as the Lions proceeded to go 0-16, becoming the first team in NFL history to lose all 16 games.
My tough times as a Lions fan will just make the day they win it all that much sweeter! I just hope I have the money and time to be there in person like the good old days I spent in Ford Field in Detroit watching my Motor City Kitties (odd nickname for the Lions) take on the competition.
Since the topic was originally focused on things that you and I have already experienced, I should probably touch on that before my freewrite is over.
It’s really hard to pick just one. I’ve experienced some great games in my life and really cool moments. The greatest game was the 2006 AFC Championship where Peyton Manning and the Colts came back from down 17 points to beat Tom Brady and the Patriots. For my favorite moments, one would definitely be catching a ball during batting practice of a MLB Playoff game (Detroit Tigers vs. New York Yankees). The Tigers went on to win the game and I still own the ball!
A lot of great moments for me have happened outside of the stadium or ballpark. I have great memories watching games from home with my brother or with my father-in-law who is a gigantic Lions fan as well. I’m now trying to involve my boys in watching sports with me, but they are much more interested in kids shows than sports.
Well, that’s it for this freewrite. What is your favorite moment as a sports fan? I’d love to read your freewrite on it.
