(WWJ) The last Detroit Lions playoff victory before last weekend was way, way back in 1992.
Coaching the team at that time was Wayne Fontes, who joined WWJ Newsradio 950's Tony Ortiz and Tracey McCaskill on the live line on Friday.
"You know, I'm so, so, so excited and so happy that the Lions won last week, and it finally took the monkey off of my back," Fontes said. "I mean, Chris Spielman was there with the Lions, Barry Sanders. I remember Lomas Brown, Herman Moore, Kevin Glover, Bennie Blades... I could go on and on and on and talk about the guys who were there, and I'm sure they're all very, very excited."
So, what does Fontes think of this current Lions team?
To sum it up, Fontes said he'd advise his friends "sell your house, sell your car" and put their money on the Lions in 2024.
