DAN..... DAN..... DAN.....

When I left my Dollar General job the score was 13-23 I was shocked to see that my girlfriend wasn't watching the game. She explained that Jared Goff wasn't on his game after throwing 4 picks & the offense was struggling with the exception of Sam LaPorta lone touchdown catch & David Montgomery's rushing. Then suddenly the Lions finally took over & I can't believe that the Lions never gave up compared to years past. I have endured many of many years of failure on their part. Yes the Lions were basically like the Chicago Cubs loveable losers well after seeing the Cubs win the World Series in 2016 just maybe 2024 Detroit Lions can finally make it to the Superbowl.  Afterall they have come close 2 times only to lose in the NFC Championship game. The first was in 1991 with inspiration of Mike Utley in their minds Barry Sanders couldn't over power the eventual Superbowl champs of then Washington Redskins(Commanders) but I remind people had the Lions played at the Pontiac Silverdome they might had won cause they had an Undefeated record at home that year as well any dome stadium as well. 

                         The second time they came close was this last year where they were winning at halftime only to fall to the San Francisco 49ers. This year as I do this post prior to week 11s match up game between The Lions and Jacksonville Jaguars had the Lions not lost to the Buccaneers in week 2 the Lions would have been undefeated much like the Kansas City Chiefs. 

                       Dan Campbell was an interesting hire if you asked me 4 years ago did I think he would been a great hire. I was skeptical at first but of late maybe the guy who will bite the other teams kneecaps, still has to make all of us people in Michigan wonder if the apocalypse of the end of the earth is coming if the Lions do make it to the Superbowl. 

                    Prior to the start of this years season I found myself looking at my football wantlists & well....I needed 2 of Dan Campbell's rookie cards I was surprised they came to me within 3 months of each other I found the 1999 Score Supplemental Set for $5 at the Chantilly show in June. Then at a show I set up at in September this dealer had the 1999 Skybox Dominion combination card for $.10 I couldn't turn it down the dealer didn't know that Campbell card was in a box of a bunch of others that I needed.

                  Just recently a friend of mine told me about how high price these 2 cards are now going for due to the successful job he's doing this year so far. The Score card was seen at a price mind you it wasn't graded but for $45.00 the Skybox Dominon also not graded was selling for $30.00 I am so glad I got mine when I did. Anyways I can only hope the rest of this 2024 season to be like the first 10 weeks have been. With that said I am reminded of the great Rogers Hornsby talking about signing autographs for kids "Any Ballplayer who doesn't sign autographs for little kids ain't an American, He's a Communist."
