    That article Anzo wrote for the players tribune to Lions fans after the loss in SF last year shows how much he loves this team and city.

Go Lion's

      Definitions are intrinsically propositional. People aren't propositional in nature (no object is). Therefore Anzelone isn't the definition of what the team is.

    I LOVE this Dude! I have been a Lions fan for 50 of my 59 years but had to root for other teams and players since we have been horrible for decades. I am a Tom Brady Guy because we both were in Ann Arbor in the mid 90s (Tom playinmg football and myself training in a martial art) so I watched the Lions but followed Tom. I was devistated when Tom retired as I thought he would play till he was 50! so I started following the Lions again and had 2 favorites, Jared Goff (He reminds me of Tom Brady) and Alex Anzalone (He reminds me of a BIG Chris Spielman). His playing style is incredible and I was so happy he returned from his injury before the playoffs! This mini documentary shows what a great Human Being he is, and his family is what everyone should try to emulate. He is what a football player should be and what every human being should try to be. This is a very special group of players that the Lions have and they WILL win the Super Bowl and bring winning football to Detroit for a long time! Great Job Alex!
