DETROIT PISTONS FANS.
IT’S TIME TO BELIEVE AGAIN. 🔵🔴🏀
THE NBA SEASON IS COMING.
AND I AM OFFICIALLY ENTERING MY COMPLETELY UNREASONABLE PISTONS FAN ERA.
I DON’T WANT TO HEAR ABOUT LAST SEASON.
I DON’T WANT TO HEAR ABOUT WHAT THE NATIONAL MEDIA THINKS.
I DON’T WANT TO HEAR ABOUT POWER RANKINGS.
I DON’T WANT TO HEAR ABOUT EXPECTATIONS.
I DON’T WANT TO HEAR ABOUT WHO IS “SUPPOSED” TO BE BETTER.
I WANT PISTONS BASKETBALL.
I WANT LITTLE CAESARS ARENA LOUD.
I WANT DETROIT IN BLUE AND RED.
I WANT THE CROWD LOSING ITS MIND AFTER A BIG THREE.
I WANT DUNKS.
I WANT BLOCKS.
I WANT BUZZER-BEATERS.
I WANT DEFENSE.
I WANT FAST BREAKS.
I WANT THE CITY TALKING BASKETBALL AGAIN.
I WANT THE PISTONS BACK.
🏀🏀🏀
AND YES.
I’M OPTIMISTIC.
MAYBE TOO OPTIMISTIC.
ACTUALLY, DEFINITELY TOO OPTIMISTIC.
BUT THAT’S THE POINT.
IT’S A NEW SEASON.
EVERYTHING IS POSSIBLE.
ONE PRESEASON WIN?
WE’RE GOING 82-0.
ONE HUGE DUNK?
STATUE OUTSIDE LITTLE CAESARS ARENA.
ONE CRAZY FOURTH QUARTER?
CLEAR THE PARADE ROUTE.
😂
LET ME HAVE THIS.
I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS.
I WANT TO BELIEVE IN THIS GROUP.
I WANT TO WATCH THE YOUNG GUYS TAKE ANOTHER STEP.
I WANT TO SEE THE CHEMISTRY.
I WANT TO SEE THE DEFENSE.
I WANT TO SEE WHAT THIS TEAM LOOKS LIKE WHEN EVERYBODY IS LOCKED IN.
AND MOST IMPORTANTLY:
I WANT DETROIT TO HAVE FUN WITH BASKETBALL AGAIN.
Because that’s what I love about being a sports fan.
You don’t need guarantees to be excited.
You don’t need a championship already sitting on the shelf.
You just need a reason to believe.
And right now?
I HAVE ONE.
I’M LOOKING AT THIS TEAM AND THINKING:
WHY NOT US?
Why can’t Detroit make some noise?
Why can’t this team surprise people?
Why can’t we have one of those seasons where the pieces finally start clicking?
Why can’t Little Caesars Arena become one of those places nobody wants to play?
Why can’t the Pistons be the team everybody starts talking about?
I DON’T KNOW.
BUT I’M READY TO FIND OUT.
And I’m going to be obnoxious about it.
I’m going to watch every game I can.
I’m going to overreact to every hot streak.
I’m going to celebrate every ridiculous play.
I’m going to complain about every bad call.
I’m going to talk myself into every playoff scenario imaginable.
I’m going to look at the standings way too early.
I’m going to start calculating seeding scenarios in November.
😂
AND IF YOU TELL ME IT’S TOO EARLY?
YES.
IT IS.
THAT’S WHY IT’S FUN.
THIS IS THE TIME OF YEAR WHERE EVERY FANBASE CAN DREAM.
AND I’M DREAMING IN RED, WHITE, AND BLUE.
I WANT THE CROWD LOUD.
I WANT THE PLAYERS CONFIDENT.
I WANT DETROIT BUZZING.
I WANT PISTONS BASKETBALL TO FEEL IMPORTANT AGAIN.
I WANT THE BAD BOYS HISTORY TO BE RESPECTED.
I WANT THE NEXT CHAPTER TO BE WRITTEN.
And eventually?
YES.
I WANT BANNERS.
I WANT PLAYOFF SERIES.
I WANT EASTERN CONFERENCE FINALS.
I WANT NBA FINALS.
I WANT A CHAMPIONSHIP.
BUT THAT’S LATER.
RIGHT NOW?
IT’S ABOUT BELIEVING.
IT’S ABOUT SHOWING UP.
IT’S ABOUT SUPPORTING THE TEAM.
IT’S ABOUT GETTING LOUD.
IT’S ABOUT LETTING THE SEASON PLAY OUT.
AND IT’S ABOUT BEING A PISTONS FAN.
So bring on the season.
Bring on the Eastern Conference.
Bring on the rivalries.
Bring on the road games.
Bring on the tough nights.
Bring on the big wins.
Bring on the fourth-quarter comebacks.
Bring on the moments we’re going to talk about all year.
Because I’m ready.
DETROIT IS READY.
THE PISTONS ARE BACK.
AND I’M NOT WAITING UNTIL APRIL TO START BELIEVING.
🔵🔴🏀
DETROIT BASKETBALL.
LET’S MAKE SOME NOISE.
LET’S GO PISTONS.
DETROIT VS. EVERYBODY.

DETROIT RED WINGS FANS.
IT’S TIME.
THE WAIT IS OVER.
THE HOCKEY SEASON IS HERE. 🐙❤️🤍
AND I AM OFFICIALLY ENTERING MY COMPLETELY UNREASONABLE RED WINGS FAN ERA.
I DON’T WANT TO HEAR ABOUT LAST SEASON.
I DON’T WANT TO HEAR ABOUT WHAT THE EXPERTS THINK.
I DON’T WANT TO HEAR ABOUT THE STANDINGS.
I DON’T WANT TO HEAR ABOUT WHO’S SUPPOSED TO BE BETTER.
I DON’T WANT TO HEAR ABOUT EXPECTATIONS.
I WANT HOCKEY.
I WANT LITTLE CAESARS ARENA ROCKING.
I WANT RED WINGS JERSEYS EVERYWHERE.
I WANT THE OCTOPUS ON THE ICE.
I WANT THE GOAL HORN.
I WANT “LET’S GO RED WINGS” CHANTS.
I WANT DETROIT HOCKEY BACK.
🐙🐙🐙
THERE IS SOMETHING DIFFERENT ABOUT HOCKEY IN DETROIT.
Maybe it’s the history.
Maybe it’s the banners.
Maybe it’s the legends who wore that Winged Wheel.
Maybe it’s the fans.
Maybe it’s the fact that when the Red Wings are rolling, this entire city feels different.
Whatever it is—
I’M READY.
I’m ready for every faceoff.
Every power play.
Every penalty kill.
Every ridiculous bounce.
Every huge save.
Every overtime thriller.
Every game where I’m convinced we’re going all the way.
And yes, I’m going to overreact.
A LOT.
One preseason goal?
STANLEY CUP.
One incredible save?
BEST GOALTENDER IN THE LEAGUE.
Three-game winning streak?
CLEAR THE PARADE ROUTE.
😂
I KNOW.
I KNOW.
LET ME HAVE THIS.
It’s preseason.
We’re undefeated in my imagination.
EVERYTHING IS POSSIBLE.
And that’s what I love about this time of year.
Everybody starts at zero.
Every team thinks they’re capable of something.
Every fanbase has hope.
And every Red Wings fan gets to look at this team and say:
“WHY NOT US?”
Why can’t Detroit make noise?
Why can���t this team take another step?
Why can’t we have one of those magical seasons where everything comes together at exactly the right time?
Why can’t Hockeytown be rocking deep into the spring?
I DON’T KNOW.
BUT I’M GOING TO BELIEVE UNTIL SOMEBODY GIVES ME A REASON NOT TO.
That’s what being a fan is.
You don’t wait until everything is guaranteed.
You believe before it happens.
You show up before the banners are raised.
You wear the jersey before the celebration.
You watch the first game because maybe — just maybe — you’re watching the beginning of something special.
And I WANT TO BELIEVE.
I WANT TO BELIEVE IN THIS TEAM.
I WANT TO BELIEVE IN THE YOUNG GUYS.
I WANT TO BELIEVE IN THE VETERANS.
I WANT TO BELIEVE IN THE COACHING.
I WANT TO BELIEVE IN THE GUYS WHO ARE GOING TO BECOME HOUSEHOLD NAMES.
I WANT TO BELIEVE THAT DETROIT HOCKEY IS BUILDING TOWARD SOMETHING.
Because when the Red Wings are good, Detroit is a hockey city in every possible sense.
And I want that feeling again.
I want the city buzzing on game day.
I want people arguing about lines at the bar.
I want kids wearing Winged Wheel jerseys.
I want the arena packed.
I want playoff hockey.
I want that nervous feeling in April.
I want May.
I want June.
And eventually?
I WANT THE CUP.
But that’s later.
Right now?
It’s September.
It’s preseason.
It’s optimism.
It’s hope.
It’s unreasonable confidence.
It’s me looking at the schedule and already planning my life around Red Wings games.
😂
So LET’S GO.
Bring on the hits.
Bring on the goals.
Bring on the rivalries.
Bring on the drama.
Bring on the long season.
Bring on Hockeytown.
Because I’m ready to ride with this team from Game 1 all the way to wherever this season takes us.
No guarantees.
No promises.
Just belief.
And honestly?
THAT’S ENOUGH FOR ME RIGHT NOW.
DETROIT RED WINGS HOCKEY IS BACK.
THE WINGED WHEEL IS ROLLING.
HOCKEYTOWN, LET’S MAKE SOME NOISE.
🐙❤️🤍
LET’S GO RED WINGS.
THIS IS OUR SEASON TO BELIEVE.

DETROIT TIGERS FANS, I NEED EVERYBODY TO JUST TAKE A SECOND AND APPRECIATE THIS TEAM. 🐯🧡💙
WHAT. A. SEASON.
I KNOW WE DIDN’T WIN THE WORLD SERIES.
I KNOW THERE’S STILL MORE TO DO.
I KNOW BASEBALL HAS A WAY OF MAKING YOU THINK ABOUT WHAT COULD HAVE BEEN.
BUT I DON’T CARE.
NOT TONIGHT.
BECAUSE THIS SEASON WAS SPECIAL.
THE DETROIT TIGERS GAVE US A BASEBALL TEAM WORTH BELIEVING IN AGAIN.
They gave this city something to talk about all summer.
They gave us packed ballparks.
They gave us dramatic games.
They gave us young players stepping up.
They gave us veterans making huge plays.
They gave us moments that made you jump out of your seat.
They gave us a reason to turn on the game every single night and actually EXPECT something good to happen.
And honestly?
I MISSED THIS.
I missed caring this much about baseball.
I missed checking the schedule and immediately thinking about the next game.
I missed watching the Tigers and thinking, “Okay… this team can actually do something.”
I missed seeing Detroit baseball matter.
And this team made it matter again.
🐯🐯🐯
Am I disappointed that the season didn’t end with a World Series trophy?
Of course.
I’M A FAN.
I WANT THE WHOLE THING.
I WANT THE PARADE.
I WANT THE TROPHY.
I WANT THE CONFETTI.
I WANT TO SEE DETROIT GO COMPLETELY INSANE.
But that doesn’t erase everything this team accomplished.
A season isn’t only about the final game.
It’s about everything that came before it.
The comeback wins.
The extra-inning games.
The unbelievable defensive plays.
The pitchers dealing.
The young guys announcing themselves.
The veterans coming through when it mattered.
The crowds getting louder.
The feeling around the city changing.
That feeling of:
“WAIT… ARE THE TIGERS ACTUALLY GOOD?”
YES.
YES THEY ARE.
And I’m going to enjoy that.
I’m going to enjoy looking back at this season and remembering how much fun this team was to watch.
I’m going to remember the moments where I was yelling at the TV.
I’m going to remember the games where I thought there was absolutely no way they were going to pull it off — and then they did.
I’m going to remember the nights where Comerica felt electric.
I’m going to remember the fans.
I’m going to remember the jerseys.
I’m going to remember the city getting behind this team.
Because THAT is what sports are supposed to feel like.
And now?
I’M A TIGERS FANBOY.
FULLY.
NO SHAME.
I WILL DEFEND THIS TEAM WITH MY ENTIRE CHEST.
I WILL TALK ABOUT THIS SEASON WAY TOO MUCH.
I WILL BRING UP RANDOM GAMES FROM MONTHS AGO.
I WILL WATCH HIGHLIGHTS.
I WILL LOOK AT THE ROSTER AND START DREAMING ABOUT NEXT SEASON.
I WILL HEAR SOMEONE SAY “DETROIT TIGERS” AND IMMEDIATELY HAVE A 20-MINUTE CONVERSATION ABOUT BASEBALL.
😂
THIS TEAM HAS ME HOOKED.
And that’s the biggest thing.
They made me believe again.
They made Detroit baseball fun again.
They made Tigers baseball feel important again.
And even though there isn’t a World Series trophy sitting in Detroit tonight, there is something incredibly valuable:
BELIEF.
Belief that this isn’t a fluke.
Belief that there’s something being built.
Belief that these guys can keep getting better.
Belief that there are more special October nights ahead.
So thank you, Tigers.
Thank you for the memories.
Thank you for the moments.
Thank you for giving this city a season worth talking about.
Thank you for making us care this much again.
And to every Tigers fan:
DON’T BE SAD THAT THE SEASON IS OVER.
BE PROUD OF WHAT THIS TEAM GAVE US.
BE EXCITED ABOUT WHAT COMES NEXT.
KEEP THE HATS ON.
KEEP THE JERSEYS OUT.
KEEP TALKING TIGERS.
KEEP BELIEVING.
Because this isn’t the end of the story.
It’s another chapter.
And I’m already ready for the next one.
🐯🧡💙
DETROIT TIGERS.
ONE HELL OF A SEASON.
ONE PROUD FANBASE.
AND WE’RE JUST GETTING STARTED.

DETROIT LIONS FOOTBALL IS BACK AND I AM ABSOLUTELY UNBEARABLE. 🦁💙🩶
I DON’T CARE.
I DON’T WANT TO HEAR IT.
I DON’T WANT TO TALK ABOUT NEXT WEEK.
I DON’T WANT TO TALK ABOUT THE PLAYOFFS.
I DON’T WANT TO TALK ABOUT THE SUPER BOWL.
RIGHT NOW, I JUST WANT TO TALK ABOUT THE DETROIT LIONS.
WHAT A GAME.
WHAT A TEAM.
WHAT A CITY.
DETROIT SHOWED UP.
THE LIONS SHOWED UP.
AND I AM CURRENTLY EXPERIENCING AN UNREASONABLE AMOUNT OF JOY OVER A FOOTBALL GAME.
😂😂😂
You have no idea how long Lions fans have waited to be able to watch games like this and actually walk away thinking:
“YEAH. THAT’S MY TEAM.”
Not “maybe next year.”
Not “if everything goes right.”
Not “well, at least we competed.”
NO.
I WANT TO ENJOY THIS.
I WANT TO TALK TRASH.
I WANT TO WATCH EVERY HIGHLIGHT 47 TIMES.
I WANT TO WEAR LIONS GEAR FOR THE NEXT THREE DAYS.
I WANT TO HEAR “DETROIT LIONS” AND IMMEDIATELY START TALKING ABOUT THIS GAME AGAIN.
Someone could literally ask me what I had for breakfast tomorrow and somehow I will bring up the Lions.
“Eggs.”
“Oh nice.”
“YEAH, AND DID YOU SEE THAT LIONS GAME?”
😂
THIS IS WHAT BEING A FAN IS.
You suffer through the bad years.
You watch the heartbreak.
You sit through the ugly losses.
You listen to everybody make jokes.
You get told to lower your expectations.
And then your team puts together a night like this and suddenly you remember exactly why you care so damn much.
I LOVE THIS TEAM.
I LOVE THIS CITY.
I LOVE THESE FANS.
I LOVE THE ENERGY.
I LOVE WALKING AROUND DETROIT AND SEEING PEOPLE IN LIONS GEAR.
I LOVE HEARING PEOPLE TALK FOOTBALL.
I LOVE THAT FOR A FEW HOURS, EVERYBODY IS LOCKED IN ON THE SAME THING.
AND I LOVE BEING A LIONS FAN.
Am I overreacting?
ABSOLUTELY.
Is this one win?
YES.
Am I going to act like the Lions just accomplished the greatest thing in the history of organized sports?
ABSOLUTELY YES.
Because LET ME HAVE THIS.
I have earned the right to be obnoxious for at least 24 hours.
Maybe 48.
Maybe the entire week.
Actually, you know what?
I’LL DECIDE WHEN I’M DONE.
This team has me believing.
This city has me believing.
And I’m going to enjoy every single second of it.
So congratulations to everybody wearing Honolulu blue tonight.
Celebrate.
Enjoy it.
Talk your trash.
Post the pictures.
Blast the highlights.
Put the flag outside.
Wear the jersey tomorrow.
Sing along with the fight song.
And if somebody tells you to calm down?
LOOK THEM DEAD IN THE EYES AND SAY:
“NO.”
BECAUSE WE’RE DETROIT.
WE’RE LIONS FANS.
AND TONIGHT WE’RE CELEBRATING.
🦁💙🩶
ONE PRIDE.
DETROIT VS. EVERYBODY.
GO LIONS.

NATIONAL CHAMPIONS. AGAIN. 💙💛〽️
I DON’T EVEN KNOW WHERE TO START.
Michigan Wolverines. National Champions.
Say it again.
THE MICHIGAN WOLVERINES ARE NATIONAL CHAMPIONS.
I have spent so much time watching this team, defending this program, believing in these players, riding every high, surviving every low, and hearing everybody explain why Michigan couldn’t do it.
And now?
WE DID IT.
There is nothing anybody can say tonight that is going to ruin this moment. No rankings. No predictions. No hot takes. No “yeah, but…” No excuses. No arguments.
Just a trophy.
Just champions.
Just MICHIGAN.
〽️〽️〽️
Being a Michigan fan is more than watching football. It’s generations of tradition. It’s the winged helmet. It’s the Big House shaking on Saturdays. It’s “Hail to the Victors” blasting through the air. It’s the block M. It’s the maize and blue. It’s the history, the rivalries, the legends, the heartbreak, the comeback stories, and all the people who wore these colors before us.
And tonight, this team added another chapter.
I am officially entering the most unbearable Michigan fan era imaginable.
I WILL BE TALKING ABOUT THIS FOR YEARS.
I WILL BE BRINGING THIS UP IN COMPLETELY UNRELATED CONVERSATIONS.
I WILL FIND A WAY TO CONNECT THIS CHAMPIONSHIP TO EVERYTHING.
Someone asks me what time it is?
“National championship time.”
Someone asks what I want for dinner?
“National championship.”
Someone brings up another college football team?
“Interesting. How many national championships?”
😂
I’m sorry.
Actually, no.
I’M NOT SORRY.
WE’RE CHAMPIONS.
Tonight belongs to Michigan.
It belongs to the players who put in the work when nobody was watching. It belongs to the coaches. It belongs to the families who supported these guys through the long seasons and endless pressure. It belongs to every student, alumnus, lifelong fan, kid wearing a Michigan jersey for the first time, and old-school Wolverine who has been screaming “GO BLUE” for decades.
And it belongs to every Michigan fan who has ever sat through a brutal loss and still came back the next Saturday believing.
That’s the part people outside this fanbase don’t always understand.
You don’t just become a Michigan fan when the team is winning.
You live with it.
You suffer with it.
You celebrate with it.
You defend it.
You argue about it.
You obsess over it.
And when a night like this finally comes?
You absolutely lose your mind.
So yes, I���m going to be obnoxious.
Yes, I’m going to post the trophy.
Yes, I’m going to wear Michigan gear tomorrow.
And the day after that.
And probably the day after that.
Yes, I’m going to watch highlights until my phone battery dies.
Yes, I’m going to replay every big moment in my head.
Yes, I’m going to say “WE’RE NATIONAL CHAMPIONS” approximately 900 times before breakfast.
Because moments like this are why you become a fan in the first place.
You dream about seeing your team at the top.
You dream about that final whistle.
You dream about the celebration.
You dream about seeing Michigan standing alone as the champions.
And now we get to live it.
So to every Wolverine who stepped onto that field:
THANK YOU.
Thank you for fighting.
Thank you for believing.
Thank you for representing the winged helmet.
Thank you for giving Michigan fans a night we will never forget.
And to every Michigan fan:
TURN THE VOLUME UP.
PUT THE FLAG OUT.
WEAR THE MAIZE.
WEAR THE BLUE.
CALL YOUR FRIENDS.
TEXT YOUR FAMILY.
POST THE PICTURES.
SING HAIL TO THE VICTORS UNTIL YOUR VOICE IS GONE.
Because tonight isn’t the night to be humble.
Tonight is the night to celebrate.
MICHIGAN IS NATIONAL CHAMPIONS.
THE WOLVERINES ARE ON TOP.
HAIL TO THE VICTORS.
HAIL TO THE CONQUERING HEROES.
HAIL, HAIL TO MICHIGAN.
〽️💙💛
GO BLUE FOREVER.
