I was born into a Lions family, which means I was basically cursed from birth to love a franchise that specializes in breaking hearts. But Matthew Stafford became my all-time favorite player, watching him drag those terrible Detroit teams to respectability with nothing but arm talent and pure grit. When the Lions traded Stafford to the Rams, I had a choice to make. Stay loyal to the franchise that wasted the best years of my favorite player’s career, or follow the quarterback who gave everything to Detroit and deserved a real shot at a championship. I chose Stafford, and watching him finally win a Super Bowl in Los Angeles was worth every second of confusion about my fandom. Now I’m a Rams fan, and honestly it feels weird rooting for a competent organization. But Stafford earned this loyalty, and I regret nothing about following him west. #NFLFanOriginStory #NFL
