When the Cleveland Browns come to town, there is no better way to throw down than by tailgating hot tub style, especially if you’re a Detroit Lions fan.
Tailgating is about as important as seeing your favorite team win on fall Sundays. When you are a Detroit Lions fan, by nature you’re used to seeing your favorite team lose all the time. While you can’t necessarily control that, you can always win the tailgate.
These fine folks up in the Motor City are taking their tailgating experience to the next level. Why would you not want to incorporate a hot tub into the best tailgate this side of Ford Field? You’re giving Bills Mafia ideas, which is always good.
The Tubgaters are getting it started in ha! So let’s get it started in here. With Matthew Stafford at quarterback, the Lions keep winning, winning and winning, winning. You can just feel another Lions w coming off the 100+ degree water from that vat of awesomeness. Only moral victories come when you’re the Cleveland Browns, Detroit’s Week 10 home opponent.
Detroit is in a unique spot in the NFC North. Their biggest threat to their first divisional crown since the dawn of the internet was the rival Green Bay Packers. Too bad Aaron Rodgers is out for the season. That Packers roster sans Rodgers is rough!
The Lions are 4-4 and two games back of the division-leading Minnesota Vikings. Without hesitation, Stafford is easily the best quarterback starting in the NFC North. The other three signal callers are journeyman Case Keenum for the Vikings, rookie Mitchell Trubisky for the Chicago Bears and a struggling Brett Hundley for Green Bay.

With the Lions looking good and the Brown looking bad, enjoy the win, Detroit. However most importantly, enjoy the tailgate. Hot tubs are always a bold choice, but clearly the right choice for this otherwise snooze of a football game.
