As I'll be doing from time to time, I'm going to be putting some of my favorite emails I receive up on the site. Here's a classic from a Detroit Lions fan. As I've mentioned, the Lions (as well as Browns fans) have been readily advising me to stay away from these teams for my own good. Here's a perfect example:
Hey there,
Found your site through Hot Clicks. I admire what you are doing, I think it's a great idea. However, as a lifelong Lions fan, thanks Dad, I want to help you make your decision. Eliminate the Lions from the running. I repeat, DO NOT BECOME A LIONS FAN!!!!!!! I was born into Lions fandom. I refuse now to put my children through the same torture I was put through. Redwings, Pistons, Tigers, and University of Michigan all will be passed to my children as a sports heritage, but they will be free to choose any NFL team they want. It will however break my heart if they become Lions fans. This is an organization that has been mismanaged all of my lifetime, 31 years. The greatest player I have seen in a Lions uniform quit the game on the verge of breaking the all time rushing record simply because he couldn't stand the losing culture that is Detroit Lions football. The recent Matt Millen era was simply a part of the epic failure that is Detroit football. While coaches, players, and management change, until ownership does as well, I cannot in good conscience allow you to become a Lions fan. Choose from any of the other 31 teams and your choice can be defended. Choose the Lions and you will have proved yourself incompetent. Best wishes.
Eric
Pretty convincing...

Let me hear your thoughts on who is the right (or wrong) team for me. In order to keep SWF family friendly, please avoid the use of profanity.
