Let’s be honest: the real question isn’t “what time does the Lions start.” It’s “will I be emotionally prepared?” The answer is no. Never. But you’ll tune in anyway.
If they’re playing a bad team, the game will feel like it started at 3:00 PM even if the clock says 1:00, because the Lions will make it dramatic. If they’re playing a good team, that first quarter will feel like it lasts six hours. Time is relative in football. Einstein was a Lions fan? Probably.
