What do the Lions and Beyonce have in common?
Nothing. Unless you’re linebacker Larry Foote, who seems to view them with equal admiration.
It’s understandable for a player to defend his team, but Foote’s response to some unflattering criticism of the Lions is a little beyond the pale.
Foote, who grew up in Detroit, is saying the Lions look like a young, talented, beautiful diva. But even in the most flattering lighting, that’s a stretch for a team that just lost its 18th straight game.
Foote was responding Monday to comments made by Fox announcer Chris Myers during Sunday’s game. Myers compared Foote winning Super Bowls in Pittsburgh to playing for his hometown Lions by saying: “That’s like going from dating Beyonce to Whoopi Goldberg.”
“That’s a stupid comment,” Foote said. “No disrespect to Whoopi. This is my team. Just from that statement, this team looks like Beyonce to me. So I’m happy with it.”
Foote was smiling a little when he said this, so I’ll cut him a little slack.
