This says it best
 

It's not just the winning record. Not just Matthew Stafford's 5,000 yards, the amazing athleticism of Calvin Johnson or the Superman strength of Ndamukong Suh.

It's everything that's been thrown at your hometown for the past decade. It's what the rest of the nation has been thinking and saying about you and your town. The way "Detroit" has become a slur, an insult, the lowest place you could accuse someone of being from. The "Why would you live there?" look. The sneer.

New Orleanians know why Detroit loves the Lions - New Orleans Saints Football NFL News - NOLA.com

You guys ever find yourselves in the Motor City, you got a friend here, let me know if you need anything.

go Lions.

yes yes yes.

There are many similarities (weather NOT being one of them)

I love Detroit as a city - and when it comes to music there are really only two cities (sorry Nashville and NYC you are where money is made off of music where music is made)

Detroit and New Orleans - the two have truly defined the sound of America.

HA you obviously don't know us very well yet, lol.
I am in Cleveland and hope to make a trip out your way one of these days while I live here.

GIVE US SOME TEXT NOT JUST THE LINK.... LOL
