David Morian, 23 of Grand Blanc, Michigan, went the distance this summer.
“Morian tattooed the Vince Lombardi Trophy and the Detroit Lions logo on the inside of his left calf during the “Dave and Chuck The Freak Morning Show” on Detroit radio station WRIF this summer.
“It’s been an experience, I guess,” Morian told ESPN.com earlier this week. “I was really hoping that this was how [the season] was going to turn out and really we’re starting to make something right now.
“While he hasn’t attended a game this season, he said he saved up enough money to go to a home playoff game should the Lions have one.
“He’s also picked up a few more superstitions since getting the tattoo, too. He said he doesn’t wear his Calvin Johnson jersey anymore because the Lions seem to play better when he isn’t wearing it.
He has no regrets getting the tattoo, though, because “it puts a smile on my face every time I see it.”
“He also maintained what he said when he initially got the tattoo, that he believed this season was going to be different for Detroit and so far, it has been.
“There was the same feeling you get every year as a Lions fan, but this year it was different,” Morian said. “A lot of different pieces falling into place at the same time.
“It did feel different, like this actually could be a different kind of year for us.”

Here’s a nice quote from our safety on Matthew Stafford, echoing the entiment that this our time:
“I think he’s more than ready to win a championship,” Ihedigbo said. “Everyone talks about his talent and his arm strength, but he’s a great quarterback in this league. He’s continuing to work day in and day out. I think – not think, I know – he has what it takes to lead this team to win a championship.”
……….get on yur horse and let’s make it happen baby!
