I was born and raised a Lions Fan growing up in the Southern thumb area of Michigan, my first real memory of the Lions is the 1980 team and the Another One Bites a Dust team that started 8-0. I was hooked from that point on. I remember Billy Sims, Al “Bubba” Baker, and of course Barry Sanders, Herman Moore and Chris Spielman.
 

When I joined the Navy in 1987 I soon found out that Sports was very territorial and important. My fandom went to a new level while I was in the Navy. This was the late 80’s and early 90’s for me and this was a great time to be a Lions fan. They had so much potential during this time.
 

Let’s be honest things have not been good for our beloved Lions over the years, but I can honestly say they have the best fans. I found a group on the internet around 1993 of vvery diehard Lions fans and we have been in contact since. Now we have decided to share our thoughts and our passion with the world. Welcome to the Grey Manes, a group of “experienced” Detroit Lions Fans !
