Longtime NHL defenseman and two-time Cup winner Alec Martinez is a diehard Lions fan. One of those fans who believes every year is The Year.
He's spent his 12-year career in LA and Vegas, but the Rochester Hills native hasn't lost touch with his roots:
Which brings us, strangely enough, to The Masters. The Golden Knights made their picks for this year's winner and most of the players went with the favorites. Naturally, Wayne Gretzky's son-in-law Dustin Johnson got the most votes.
John Rahm, Bryson DeChambeau and Brooks Koepka were popular picks as well.
But Martinez?
He picked the Detroit Lions. THE Detroit Lions.
Stay golden, Alec.
