If you are a die-hard Lions fan, someone who clearly recalls the fortitude and intelligence of Lions greats like Matt Millen, then put this calendar on your Wish List. It truly reflects everything the Detroit Lions have been over the years, all encapsulated into twelve intriguing months.
There is no potential for the so-called Madden Curse when it comes to the cover. Mathew Stafford or Calvin Johnson? Nope! Instead, the cover has a shot of Titus Young, who had already been ordered to stay away from the team due to repeated insubordination, before the calendar was published. Whew!
The player used for the first month is defensive back Aaron Berry. It shows him wearing the wrong uniform, though. The only uniform he wore in a game during the 2012 season is green: he's a New York Jet. But that's a minor quibble, so it only docks off one star.
Jahvid Best is in there! It's great to finally see a picture of him wearing a uniform again!
There's also information in this calendar about the Detroit Lions' Super Bowl history! It's very short and to the point, but like any great mystery book, it has a surprise ending...I don't want to spoil it for anybody, so I won't post their Super Bowl history here. You'll have to buy the calendar to find out!
The best part: all 365 days are here!
