What do you think, Detroit Lions fans? 

Here is the banner I am bringing to the game on 10-26-08, when the Lions play the Redskins. My goal is to get the attention of Fox Sports, Fox 2 Detroit and ESPN to promote the exorcism of the Detroit Lions on national TV.

The idea behind the banner is to encourage the Lions to free themselves of whatever has not been working since the 1950's so they can resurge to once again play like champions.

It may be as simple as getting a new logo to replace "Bubbles" the Lion. An emblem of Bubbles is on the helmet of each and every player. The Lions are not Bubble Heads. Bobble Heads are good, Bubble Heads are not good. I am recommending that Mr. Ford consider going back to the logo used during the 1950's, when the team was of championship caliber.

The exorcism or purging may be as complex as beating the curse of Bobby Layne, much like the Boston Red Sox beat the 86 year old curse of the Bambino to win the world series in 2004. 

The solution to the woes of the Lions might even be found somewhere else on the continuum between the simple and complex.

Lions players, management and fans will know when the purging and resurging is beginning:

• When the team adds up more wins than losses.
• When the players are asking more questions than they are answering.

In any event, it is time for an exorcism. Watch for the banner to show up on TV this Sunday afternoon. If Jim Leyland's brother, Father Tom Leyland (A Catholic priest) is at the game, I ask that he look for the banner and join me in section 101, row 34 at Ford Field. I'll need some help to start this exorcism. Purge And Resurge!

Go Lions!
