How The Music Makeover Came To Be
Got a text from Jim O’Brien from Big Jim’s House mornings with local celebrity Ryan Logan. Jim was asking if maybe my friend Motorcity Josh a local musician and the owner of The Sound Shop recording studio would do a makeover of the Detroit Lions Gridiron song. Recently Big Jim’s house has used Josh Ford’s band, “Motorcity Josh & the Big 3’s song, I Got That Friday Feelin’ song on the morning show. Jim’Obrien asked if Motor City Josh would take on the challenge of a Lions song makeover. Josh agreed and got the help of another Detroit rock and roll icon Dave Edwards from the band, The Look, and the backbone of the project on the drums Todd Glass whose credits include drumming on lots of local bands’ albums and being part of Motorcity Josh & The Big 3. Enjoy The New 2023 Detroit Lions Fight song.

For some fans, the belief in “jersey power” is real, relying on their chosen jersey to bring their team to victory. A Reddit user revealed, “I change jerseys every game. Never wear the same one twice in a row.” They mentioned that during one season, the Jaguars secured a 3-1 record when following this practice, but experienced a 0-12 record when they didn’t.
Fiery Ritual

Some fans unquestionably take their rituals to the extreme. During Vince Young’s playing days, a Redditor mentioned that they used to perform a rather unconventional practice of burning a photo of the player. They would attach a picture of his face to a Barbie doll and place it on the grill as part of their ritual.

This particular approach might come across as a bit harsh, yet it seems to show results for this person. Apparently, ignoring their wife and kid during the game is their strategy. “I know it’s weird and the results haven’t been great, but I’m not going to risk it,” they wrote. Priorities, dude!
Quantum Football Mechanics
Some say that dissecting your superstitions like a science can work wonders. A Reddit user shared their approach, saying that if, for some reason, they tune into the game late and the Ravens are in the lead, they turn the game off. “Watching will only swing the game in the opposite direction. It’s like the Heisenberg Principle of quantum football mechanics. Intense observation will only change the outcome,” they humorously explained. That’s dedication!
