Detroit Lions, Detroit Lions History, Video, Record, NFL Films Music, Barry Sanders

A tribute to the Detroit Lions star players from the 1960s, 1970s, 1980s, and 1990s featuring a clip from the fantastic, emotional music of NFL Films.
From Autumn Thunder: 40 Years of NFL Music:
"Let's Go Big O" by Sam Spence

Hopefully the Detroit Lions record this year, and in the years to come, will be as great as the NFL Films music from the 1960s and 1970s in this video. Much of this music was from the replay TV show, This Week in Pro Football, that I'd watch every Saturday in my youth.
Detroit Lions players featured:
Lem Barney, Alex Karras, Larry Hand, Altie Taylor, Bill Munson, Greg Landry, Barry Sanders, Mel Farr, Bob Kolakowski, Robert Porcher, Joe Schmidt, Herman Moore, Billy Sims, Dick Le Beau, Wayne Walker, Steve Owens, Chris Speilman, James Hunter, Eddie Murray, Al "Bubba" Baker, Charlie Sanders

Go Lions!

It's about time they got offa' dere schnides and started kickin' butt again!

I'm a Steelers fan, but I've gotta admit that no other NFL team looks better then the guys who wear Hawaiian Blue and Silver. Enjoy 2011 all you can Lions fans and don't take this season for granted!

Still my favorite team. And yes, I'm a homegrown Californian. Not the Raiders! Grew up with the Roman Gabriel Rams in their Blue and Whites and died a little when they went to St. Louis. But I always loved the Lions though. My best team on my old electric , vibrating football game set. Painted all the players myself with my model paints.

The Lions are my favorite sports team ever. Thanks for (1) the memories of the past and (2) the inspiration for the future. Playoffs are in the near future!
