Tom Lewand Tweets 'Congrats' To Lions After Win Over Packers

I would expect someone who got fired to be bitter towards their former employer, but that doesn't seem to be the case for the Detroit Lions former team president Tom Lewand.

Lewand, who was fired by the team Nov. 5 after the Lions 1-7 start, tweeted to the Lions organization after the team beat the Packers in Green Bay for the first time since 1991.

This is the first tweet that Lewand's verified account has sent out since Sept. 22, 2013.

I find it pretty classy that Lewand would send out this tweet. You can't blame the guy for pulling for the team he worked for since 2008.
