- CBS’ NFL Twitter account loves to remind the world how abysmal the Detroit Lions are.
- Any opportunity CBS has to embarrass Detroit, it takes it.

When it comes to professional sports teams that are simply too easy to make fun of, the Detroit Lions have to be towards the top of the list.
The Lions haven’t won a playoff game since 1991, have had just five winning seasons since 2000, and have technically had 11 different head coaches over the last 21 years counting interims that have taken over during the regular season.
Simply put, the Lions stink. They’ve been a laughing stock in the NFL for quite some time now and the jokes practically write themselves at this point in time, just look at the NFL on CBS Twitter account.
WorldOfIsaac pointed out the fact that CBS’ NFL Twitter account never misses an opportunity to clown on the Lions. Again, when a team is this bad it’s hard not to make fun of them, but it’s pretty clear that NFL on CBS is addicted to putting the Lions in a body bag.
