embarrased-detroit-lions-fanA poll of NFL players conducted by Sports Illustrated asked which NFL team they'd least like to play for; incredibly, despite the fact that the Lions have lost 33 of their last 42 games they weren't the least popular team.

From the 296 players asked, more players would rather ply their trade for the Lions than for Green Bay, an actual winning franchise.

In no big surprise, the largest percentage (20%) responded that they would least like playing for the Oakland Raiders, followed by Buffalo at 14%, Green Bay at 13%, Detroit with 12% and Cleveland, as ever, bringing up the rear with 7%.

I can see not wanting to play for the shitacular franchises, that's clear to me, but not wanting to play in Green Bay? Is Wisconsin THAT bad... hmm. Now that I think about it...

Even still, since when is DETROIT better than Green Bay in anything?
