Dear Lions Fans, Stop Being Creepy

It's understandable that Lions fans have taken to rooting for the longtime Lions' QB. In only his first year away from Detroit he's seemed to live up to all of the expectations that they had hoped for, but instead of Honolulu Blue and Silver, he's wearing the Royal Blue and Yellow for Los Angeles.

So Lions fans, maybe it's time to chill before Stafford issues a PPO against the entire state of Michigan?
