Detroit Lions Voted Among The Most Likable Teams In NFL; But You're Not Going To Like Why

DETROIT (97.1 The Ticket) - Talk about a backhanded compliment - the Detroit Lions are voted among the most likable teams in the NFL.

That was the compliment -- the sharp slap against the back of your head is the reason 'why' the Lions are among the most favorite:

"Never good enough as a team to make other fans feel threatened, but they have a rich history and benefited from years of two fantasy football all-stars: Matt Stafford and, of course, Calvin Johnson," according to the MSN poll.

Ouch.

Coming in at a solid #7 - the Lions ranked just behind the New York Giants and coming in at #1? C'mon, who doesn't like team whose fans wear a block of cheese on their heads as endearment: The Green Bay Packers.

MSN ranked all 32 NFL teams by likability and this is how teams fared across the country. [Ranking By Likability].
