Exactly, because they are winning right now. It's pretty simple business common sense. It's the most basic really. Nobody gives a **** what they did before this. The fact that we went undefeated back in 1972 isn't reason enough to pony up cash to see the current **** product. And of course we had trouble selling out the season opener. Did you miss the entire offseason?? It was a debacle, and only a few schmoes were convinced things had changed based on preseason.
The Lions had blackouts last season and several near blackouts, and yet now they are winning and the place is selling out. Shocker.
Dead ****ing horse that keeps getting kicked by mediocrity-loving out-of-staters who should just switch teams a long time ago.
