Peyton Manning Breaks the Detroit Lions Curse

so I saw your episode on the Madden Curse and I can't believe that you glossed over the biggest Jinx in NFL history Oh you mean what Eli did to Brady and the Giants with the most improbable win have won Super Bowl 42 Eli Manning and the Giants have finished off the Patriots for the second time no no I mean the curse of Bobby Lane oh come on K you don't think the entire Detroit Lions franchise is actually cursed but of of course I do and so does every one who's ever had a Michigan ZIP code it is heads theit choices defend a goal oh Chicago will receive how about that we had our head coach that declined getting the football after he won the coin toss in an overtime delivers the kick and overend fighting the win and it is go what a decision huh and we hold the record for the shortest overtime loss in NFL history Murray's kick fielded by Williams at the five Williams breaks out of the pack Dave Williams touchdown Chicago on the kickoff after overtime and then we went an entire season without winning a game by record they are the worst team in league history zero and 16 maybe the curse of Bobby Lane is real are you happy now I will not be happy until you go to Detroit and Crack the Case of the curse of Bobby Lane it's a classic reverse vers Beverly Hills Cop I get it that's why we're in Beverly Hills and you're dressed like Axel Foley yes that makes sense yeah so wait wait a minute I thought you knew that why are you dressed like him I always look like an undercover cop it's unavoidable good afternoon football fans from Detroit Michigan where this afternoon the Browns and the Lions battle it out for the world supremacy of professional football Bobby Lane was the last person youa expected to curse the lion Lanes going all the way on this one he has a man open it's Jimmy Dorne he was Detroit's Lion King pandemonium breaks loose in braak stadium as the game ends with the Detroit Lions successfully defending their title of world champion you know it's hard to believe but the Lions of the 50s were kind of like the Patriots of the 2000s they were it in the 50s they were it yeah I mean in the 50s it was pretty much them and the Cleveland Browns back and forth they w three championships it's really something else how many playoff games have the Lions won in your lifetime in my lifetime uh one that was 30 years ago in January of 1992 he's gone unbelievable touchdown Lions Barry Sanders oh my gosh what a run 38-6 Lions and the stars have never aligned for Lions fans like Keegan Michael Kei star of Key and Peele and Windle and wild so what happened it's kind of a spiritual situation cuz it was it was a curse it was the curse of Bobby Lan October 6th 1958 for Detroit a day that will live in infamy two games into the defense of their third championship in 6 years the Lion's trade Lane to pitch B for Earl moral and two draft picks well it hurt me naturally when I was traded to the Steelers from the lines uh we had been very successful with Detroit I really didn't know what to think I've tried what they refer to as a hex when they traded Bobby Lane to the Pittsburgh Steelers he said I'm the best quarterback in the league there is no defense when Lane can take his time and he said you're going to trade me you're never going to win another championship those were words clearly have rung [Music] true the Detroit Lions are only four or five plays away from having a terrific [Music] season we've learned lions running back Barry Sanders will announce his retirement via his Representatives the Lions I know I've just had some contact with them they have no comment but they are clearly stunned by this decision Calvin's retirement announcement it's a gut punch in the locker room it's a gut punch to the franchise this is a poorly coached team right now they're not executing at any level seven interceptions in the game now okay now we've tied the team record Dan ran out of bounds it's a safy how do you run three yards out of the end zone like that not even know a zero win season early retirements no championships the curse has lasted more than 60 years it wasn't for for a lack of stars this is a man dedicated to defense Alex Carris strides into the cold backfield and smears John United from Mongol like candy to Megatron oh Megatron you did it again touchdown Detroit [Applause] Lions finding a place that was special to Detroit's Lion King isn't heart just look for an establishment with the liquor license this is it how do you know Bobby frequented this place because it's a bar in Detroit where you going to park I will just take Bobby's spot are you nuts Bobby like to park on the sidewalk sometimes right in front of the [Music] bar I mean they let him do that Bobby Lane won three World Championships in this town he could have parked in the mayor's kitchen [Music] Tiger Stadium is no longer around so I think if we're going to connect with him what better placed in one of his favorite watering holes you're probably right about that what was Bobby Lane's favorite drink Cy Sark and water sure you can handle that pyton hit you harder than Ray Lewis oh what a hit Ray Lewis down gold Frasier yeah I'll take one you know Bobby Lane's been retired since 1963 but he still holds a lot of records that will never be broken really like what most passing yards touchdowns and completions while legally intoxicated Bobby Lane wastes no time he goes gunning for a touchdown and scores a direct hit to dorham dble right I mean the guy was just a party animal I did have one philosophy on life when I went out I went first class and I went in the front door I never did the sneak in the back door he just drank and drank and drank and then would go out [Music] there and CH Bullseye Bobby strikes for his 100th TD pack who was it art Donovan the Colts said he hit Bobby and then he caused the whiff of alcohol that came out of him Bobby you must have had a hell of a night last night he said I may have had a few at half time and you know I wouldn't B Bobby got arrested for DUI in the courtroom the judge says Bobby what do you have to say to yourself he goes I ain't drunk that's just my Texas accent not guilty gone let him off Bobby doesn't waste any time getting Airborne as he hits Jim door and he played quarterback in a little different style didn't always look perfect no super tight spirals not like I know anything about a tight spiral wobbly duck going to the end zone a little under thrown but Thomas is able to get there it was a wobbly pass but it got there I didn't throw the prettiest pass I kind of used to make fun of me there's more to being a quarterback than having a strong arm you can throw it end over end if you scor a touchdown Lane tosses goward where farmer Chim Duran holds tight for the touchdown he was the first guy to do Omaha Omaha the first guy to get up there and start going I see something different whatever you do right yeah I mean where where Paul Brown sent the guard in with a piece of paper going do this Cleveland coach Paul Brown uses his signal calling shuttle system as he sends guard Chuck n into the game with the play Bobby Lane said I got this he and Buddy Parker invented the two-minute drill maybe he just sobered up Lane's comeback is a story in itself maybe he just played best on a deadline Bobby Lane on the quarterback Snake pushes his way across standing up and the Lions Le in front but when time was running out the Lions quarterback always had Detroit running on all cylinders most of your games most of the action happens 2 minutes before the half and 2 minutes before the game's over late in the fourth quarter the Lions launch another aerial bombardment that's when most of the action happen and it's these times that you win and lose a professional football with 46 seconds left to play Bobby Lane the coolest cat in The Lions Den lifts a perfect Le pass to Cassidy for the winning touchdown a spectacular 24-point comeback by Detroit he was a star Bobby Lane was Tom Brady with more alcohol hey he's peeking for the two-minute drill does that take away from what he accomplished I mean to me it adds to it Unitas must have drank milk he looked like a guy who just drank milk there's no doubt and that's why he threw spirals the party couldn't last forever and in October of 1958 after Bobby arrived at practice intoxicated the Lions had had enough they traded Bobby Lane and that was it yes it really was it it has to be it there is a curse if you take the curse out of there we have to accept the fact that we're this bad it's easier for us who are Die Hard Lions fans to go there is a curse and the O in mtown officially stands for o0 and 16 we hit bottom and then we hit bottom again and then we got a hammer out and hit ourselves in the head a few more times and then we hit bottom again the Lions right now they're rebuilding this thing from the studs up it's always next year how long you been say in the Deep darkness of my Lions fan Soul there is hope this is the Year baby 190 believe it if and when the Lions can get deep deep deep into the playoffs this place will go nuts it's been a long time Bobby Lane never played here but his his name's up there yeah yeah there it is and over there are the championship banners that Bobby won yeah what's the helmet for thank you for asking Tobin's Spirit Guide the one from Ghostbusters correct it says that you can actually lift to curse by using an object that a person wore this was Bobby Lane's helmet why is it gold good question half the players had gold helmets half of them had silver oh that worked they were winning championships hopefully Tobin spirit guide would work too Jeff Keegan and all of Detroit were counting on it why the is there a bathtub in the end zone of Fort field am I on drugs trust me Jeff Google curse breaking spell and you'll come up with this fill a tub with a 100 cups of water and a cup of salt do smell like water cuz it's whiskey Bobby Lane would have preferred that if this stuff really works why didn't you use it to put a hex on the Patriots bellich che's Dart magic was just too [Applause] strong now pour the salt in the whiskey we're going to Salt it why don't you just use tequila just do it News Room nice now light it on fire now what I'm not going to what light yes no this is the problem this is why the curse won't end you guys won't go the extra mile here read this mystical incantation instead in the name of Motown Eminem and Ed McMahon I call upon thee Oh creatures of Earth and and whiskey cleanse the Detroit Lions of the curse of Bobby Lane and restore the Roar of the lion pride to balance and help Soo Dy [Music] now I have to go to the [Music] restroom and just like that the curse of Bobby Lane was lifted forever
