Ryan Day got everything he could have ever wanted… -Michigan shamed for cheating. -Multiple staffers and coaches fired/resigned. -Jim Harbaugh suspended for 3 games. And he still lost to the Wolverines. For a 3rd straight time! Michigan broke Ryan Day!

Let me get this straight? Lions are opening the season on National TV against the best team in football & instead of celebrating how far you’ve come, I see some saying how good KC is & how you’d rather wait? The NFL thinks your worthy, you should too. Stop whining & enjoy it!
