The Wings championships don't do much to placate Tigers fans. If the Bengals win a Super Bowl (which isn't looking too likely right now), it won't do dick for my desire to see the Reds finally make the playoffs.
1984 was 22 years ago! Go back a look how horrid the Tigers have been since 1984. They lost 117 games a few years ago.....
Yes, I would agree that Tiger fans have suffered mightily.
Took the words out of my life. 2003 the Tigers had the... 3rd worst record in all-time baseball I believe? It's been 22 years with nothing to cheer about at all, really. If you're going to say at least the Red Wings have been good then you'd have to talk about the Pistons, as well. They've been to the Finals 5 times during that span.
