I have only heard it pronounced Fonts. I don't know if it's like Joe Theisman. It's really supposed to be pronounced as Theez-min, but his PR guy talked him into pronouncing it as Thighs-min to rhyme with Heisman. Theisman for Heisman.....it didn't work.
The arrival of Dan Campbell was a breath of fresh air for the Lions, and here they are now in 2024, and they are getting closer to the Super Bowl. So close, that I can almost taste it!
A history largely of misery. Great uniforms and helmet though. I used to hope to see them win a Super Bowl in my lifetime. Now I just hope they will get there...
@@AFakeCreative When did the NFC Championship become the Super Bowl? Get there then win it. BTW: Name another great RB whose career was wasted on mediocre teams even worse than that of Barry Sanders? Hint: he played in the 1960s.
They need to get interior defensive linemen, a great linebacker and to remember the Carolina game. That’s the game that essentially knocked them out of the playoffs. Trenches are where games are won. Just look at the Bengals and the 49ers. Nobody is talking about Carolina but they’re going to be good. Lions play them again next year. Time for payback, a division title and a playoff win!
Strange that you would group Joe Schmidt, one of the greatest Lions ever in my opinion, with LeBeau, Lane, Larry, and leave out the fourth member of Lion’s D backfield, Gary Lowe. The 4 L’s were a dominant defensive backfield for a number of years. Otherwise, I enjoyed your video.
We never had that good of a QB. And head coach. Our front office sucked. I Always Said the fish rots from the head down. We will NEVER GET ANYWHERE With a bad front office. Now we have Shelia. Now we are blessed. We will be winning our Division and going to the Super Bowl very soon.
@@bobma6342 well Bob. Just look at how it was in the past with ownership and crappy GMs and coaches. Also the draft. I mean Brad Holmes has been awesome at drafting. In the past we couldn’t even get a 1st round that was any good. I understand where you’re coming from but the prouf has been there for 3 years now. We have great coaches that can develop players now. We have something special now. I’m 63 and we have never had what we have now.
Oh and get this bobby lane then said If you trade me you never win another championship in 50 years The curse hit the lions and when super bowl era started lion's got worse but luckily 2023-2024 season marks the end of the curse
The Detroit Lions have bitten off a lot of kneecaps and taken a lot of chunks out of teams on their way up in the 2023-24 season. And now who have entered into the playoffs, even though they get knocked down but yet keep getting back up and continue to bite off kneecaps and taken chunks out of teams, in which results in a two playoff victories at home in franchise history. For the second time in 32 years (from 1991-92 season to the 2023-24 season), reach the NFC Championship to take on the San Francisco 49ners. The long time Bobby Lane curse is now being broken by this new batch of Lions. Let me know if you like this comment. Thank you and God bless. GO LIONS GO! Be continue...
See ya don’t show the whole picture. There’s the process of the catch, and the ten second run off. And the Jim Schwartz red flag. And the Stephen Tulloch discount double knee injury. And swatting the ball out of the back of the end zone. And the Justin Tucker FG.
You may have finished first in the north but you have not been to the Super Bowl the Detroit loin s are the only NFC team that has never been to the Super Bowl ha ha you guys choked in the second half against the 49 ers
I'm sure someone else has said this, but Wayne pronounced his last name as fonts not fontez. 😂

Can’t wait to see an update after this season

He’s garbage too he blew a 17 point lead at the half by stupid dumb coaching decisions.
It's the Lions, what you taste will be Toilet Bowl
Also Campbell was on the 0-16 team!
Great job! And great video! It was well put together and very informative.
Best Lions History video I have ever seen
Thank you so much! I’m glad you enjoyed it!

Great observation Ken. That Carolina game is going to be a statement game whatever the outcome.
The game that held the Lions back was the tie game between Washington and the Giants. Tie games end up costing teams playoffs as well!
So nobody remember the Lions getting shutout by the Patriots 33-0?!
@@mikewojnar6254it was 29-0 And that was during their 1-6 stretch, Before they figured out how to win games.
Man this video was amazing thanks for the upload

I remember when we got Billy Sim’s. They kept playing another one bites the dust. We thought we had something special then.

Kneecaps. Go Lions!!!!
Great video. Thanks for covering this!
That was an awesome video. Thanks for putting that together. Kneecaps for dinner.
I remember Lions QB Greg Landry ran for.76 yards on a quarterback sneak in the 1970s 😮 Surprised there was no mention of that
Great video man keep up the great work I am the big Steelers fan can't wait until you do them
Good video!! I wish you would’ve included them moving from Pontiac to Detroit in 2002 can’t wait for a 2023 update (Kneecaps)
Kneecaps and yes most comprehensive history of the Pride i' ve seen
I Appreciate it!
Why didnt say anything about HOF'mers Lem Barney, Charlie Sanders, Chris Spielman, also them drafting 3 wide reciever bust No1 3 years in a row
Knee caps baby!!!!
Hope to see more of these videos !
Kneecaps! Lets Go Lions
KNEECAPS BABY 9-8
the reason the Lions scored 59 on the Browns, is solely because the Browns scored 56 3 years prior.
And now we're NFC North champs lets go
And now we've racked up 2 playoff wins and are in the conference championship
From the 1950s lions dynasty now
To 63 years of failure and laughter
Now 2024: top 5 super bowl prospects
right now, loins are doing good but also, I think loin are team where they get lucky on draft a god. (Barry, Megatron, bobby).
Fontes is one syllable, not 2
Kneecaps!
Nice video but what's with the circle in the middle? It would have been better to just play the video normally.
GREAT VIDEO!!!!! #OnePride
“Port’s Mouth” pronunciation was hard to hear as a native Ohio/Mi state line kid
Oh and get this bobby lane then said

The curse hit the lions and when super bowl era started lion's got worse but luckily 2023-2024 season marks the end of the curse
"The Packers backup"? That's Matt Flynn to you. Respect the Flynnsanity.
Ports myth is how you pronounce it
Thank you for letting me know! I do apologize for any mispronunciation.
LETS GO LIONS

Next up, the NFC Championship
Ford owns the Detroit Lions, maybe if the Lions change their name to the "Detroit Mustangs" they'll probably win the Superbowl.
Incomplete history of the Detroit lions. No mention of Schwartz or Caldwell. It’s pronounced Fonts….. not Fontez.
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍💙🤍
AI voice is too weird so off-putting
You may have finished first in the north but you have not been to the Super Bowl the Detroit loin s are the only NFC team that has never been to the Super Bowl ha ha you guys choked in the second half against the 49 ers

No
