I was reading the AP story on yesterday's Tigers/Rockies game and came across this curious phrase,"Rockies manager Clint Hurdle, a Detroit Lions fan, visited the team's training facility in suburban Allen Park where he met coach, Jim Schwartz and rookie quarterback, Matthew Stafford."
Clint Hurdle, a Detroit Lions fan?
I have read this phrase over and over again am I am not at all understanding this. I have never (not once) ever heard of an out-of-stater claiming to be a Detroit Lions fan. I can tell you that even people from Detroit are not REALLY Lions fans. Fans of the NFL no doubt but not the Lions.
Why would he be a fan?
Was it Scott Mitchell? Joey Harrington? Charles Rogers? Bubbles the mascot?
I am not getting it.
Help me out here Clint. Pull up a chair. I am all ears.
