NFC North Champion: Detroit Lions 

📸: Detroit Lions 🦁 on Twitter 🐥

What could the 2023 Detroit Lions 🦁, going into their 90th season, winning the NFC North Division look like? Realistically. Lions 🦁 “realistic” target goal would look like 13 wins or more. #RestoretheRoar #DefendtheDen #OnePride #DrivenbyDetroit

The 9 most recent NFC North Division Champions:

2022 NFC North Champion Minnesota Vikings 😈 - 13 wins
2021 NFC North Champion Green Bay Packers 🧀 - 13 wins
2020 NFC North Champion Green Bay Packers 🧀 - 13 wins
2019 NFC North Champion Green Bay Packers 🧀 - 13 wins
2018 NFC North Champion Chicago Bears 🧸 - 12 wins
2017 NFC North Champion Minnesota Vikings 😈 - 13 wins
2016 NFC North Champion Minnesota Vikings 😈 - 10 wins
2015 NFC North Champion Minnesota Vikings 😈 - 11 wins
2014 NFC North Champion Minnesota Vikings 😈 - 12 wins
^——5 out of the 9 most recent NFC North Champions finished with 13 wins. 13 wins was the minimum for 5 of the NFC North Champions of most recent seasons. The NFC North had the 2nd-highest win percentage in the conference in 2022.

 
In my lifetime, the Detroit Lions won their division 3x, was a playoff contender 11x, and finished 2nd in the division 6x. With that said.. it’s a realistic possibility for the 2023 Detroit Lions 🦁 with 3x Pro Bowl NFL quarterback Jared Goff to have a break out and breakthrough season.

 
The Wild Card Playoff Round, Divisional Playoff Round, Conference Playoff Round and the Lombardi Trophy 🏆 Round: Super Bowl Championship is not out of reach for the 2023 Detroit Lions 🦁. And though an NFL team doesn’t have to win their division to play in or win the Super Bowl.. it does help. Winning the NFC North Division is the perfect target for the Detroit Lions to get into the NFL playoffs, and that helps the Detroit Lions 🦁 inch much closer to contending for the
a. NFL Playoff Round 1: AFC & NFC Wild Card Round (BYE week for the AFC 1 seed and NFC 1 seed)
b. NFL Playoff Round 2: AFC & NFC Divisional Round
c. NFL Playoff Round 3: AFC & NFC Conference Round to determine the AFC & NFC Champions 🏆
d. NFL Playoff Round 4: NFL World Championship Round AFC Champion versus NFC Champion to win the Super Bowl Championship 🏆 to hoist the Lombardi Trophy. 

 
The 2022 Detroit Lions finished 2nd in the NFC North yet they didn’t get into the playoffs. Finishing 2nd in the NFC North would not be a high enough of a target goal for the Mighty Detroit Lions 🦁. Winning the NFC North would be a great target goal for the Detroit Lions 🦁, not 10 wins, but 13 wins or more, minimum.

 
Even though that’s easier said than done.. I’m rooting for the 2023 Detroit Lions 🦁 to win the NFC North Division. Let’s go.

Super Bowl Champions: Brand New Lions 

Brand New Detroit Lions 🦁 are the 4x NFL World Champions and a potential Super Bowl Championship contender with quarterback Jared Goff and the offseason free agency additions of cornerback Cam Sutton, running back David Montgomery, cornerback Emmanuel Moseley and safety C.J. Gardner-Johnson. I am looking forward to the work still to be done this NFL offseason in free agency and NFL Draft.

2022 DETROIT LIONS ARE THE NEW 1952 DETROIT LIONS 

Just saying. 2022 Detroit Lions 🦁 are the new 1952 Detroit Lions. They will put the NFC NORTH, NFC conference and league on notice this NFL season. One game day, at a time.

Detroit Lions Leaping Lion Blue BG

Yes, Detroit Lions lost to the Philadelphia Eagles 🦅 in week 1, but I ain’t writing the Lions off. Eagles versus Lions was the highest scoring NFL game of week 1. Detroit Lions tied for 2nd most touchdowns scored in the league for week 1, behind The Kansas City Chiefs 🗡. Eagles versus Lions was a highly competitive show down.

2022 Detroit Lions can and will be able to go from WORST to FIRST this NFL season. In my humble and honest opinion, I believe the 2022 Detroit Lions are on pace to be able to do it and will do it, one game day, at a time. They can and will be in the NFL playoff hunt. Lions has the fans, grit, front office, coaches, quarterback, offense, defense and special teams to be able to do it.

Past Detroit Lions teams that opened with a week 1 regular season loss and finished as winning, playoff contender and championship caliber teams: 

-  1952 Detroit Lions: lost in week 1, finished as NFL Western Division Champions, NFC Conference Champions over the Los Angeles Rams 🐏, and NFL World Champions* over the Cleveland Browns 🐶. 
*: The NFL World Championship is equivalent to what is now known as the Super Bowl Championship in the modern sports era. 

- 1957 Detroit Lions: lost in week 1, finished as NFL Western Division Champions, NFC Conference Champions over the San Francisco 49ers 🤠, and NFL World Champions over the Cleveland Browns. 

- 1960 Detroit Lions: lost in week 1, finished 2nd in their division, and won the NFL Playoff Bowl over the Cleveland Browns. 

- 1991 Detroit Lions lost in week 1, finished as the NFC Central Division Champions over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers 🏴‍☠️, Green Bay Packers 🧀, Minnesota Vikings 👑, Chicago Bears 🐻, and were an NFL playoff contender team. They were the NFC Divisional Champions over the Dallas Cowboys ⭐️ and Lions clinched the NFC Championship berth. They were one playoff win from clinching the Super Bowl Championship berth when they faced the Washington Commanders 🪶.

Detroit Lions Grey Background

- 1995 Detroit Lions lost in week 1, finished 2nd in their division and went on to be an NFL playoff contender team. They faced the Philadelphia Eagles. 

Historical sports facts is backing that it’s possible for the Mighty Detroit Lions to go from WORST to FIRST in the Super Bowl era. I believe in the 2022 Detroit Lions.

Let’s do this! 

Honolulu Blue and Silver for the win 🏆 and to the 🔝.

2022 Detroit Lions has the top 3 best offense and has scored the 2nd most total touchdowns in the NFL through week 3.

NFL Detroit Lions Beverly Hills Varsity Jacket History 

I am a fan of the Detroit Lions and sports outerwear by Starter, G-iii, Ty Mopkins, and Carl Banks.
 

 

Jason Tom wearing the NFL Detroit Lions Faux Leather Varsity Jacket by G-iii. As featured on HSN.

 

 

In 2012, New York Giants Ring of Honor linebacker and Flint, Michigan’s own Carl Banks of G-iii launched the NFL licensed release of the Detroit Lions 25th Anniversary “Beverly Hills Edition” Axel Foley Varsity Jacket.
I grew up watching Eddie Murphy as Axel Foley.

 

 

G-iii Sports Apparel designer Super D redesigned the iconic Detroit Lions varsity jacket first made famous in popular culture by actor and comedian Eddie Murphy as “Axel Foley” in the 1987 movie film, Beverly Hills Cop II.

Pro Football Hall of Fame and all-time Detroit Lions running back great Barry Sanders wearing the NFL Detroit Lions 25th Anniversary “Beverly Hills Edition” Axel Foley Varsity Jacket by G-iii.

In 2017, Detroit fashion designer Ty Mopkins teamed up with G-iii and Carl Banks to officially release the NFL licensed Detroit Lions 30th Anniversary “Beverly Hills Edition” Starter Satin Full-Snap Varsity Jacket. 

2018 NFL Draft, former Detroit Lions wide receiver Nate Burleson wearing the NFL licensed Detroit Lions 30th Anniversary “Beverly Hills Edition” Starter Satin Full-Snap Varsity Jacket by G-iii.

“They say that Dallas is the home of America’s Team.
If that is the case.
Detroit is the home of America’s Heartbeat.
This pick right here is dedicated to the men and women of Michigan.
I’m talking about the…
no days off,
lunch pail packing,
hard hat wearing,
blue collar hands that built this country.
Michigan, Detroit, I salute you!”
— Nate Burleson, 2018 NFL Draft 

In 2021, actor Tom Hardy as “Eddie Brock” in Marvel’s Venom: Let There be Carnage movie film wore an alternate Detroit Lions “Beverly Hills Edition” Varsity Jacket.

Former judo champion Jason Tom and Venom’s best friend forever Spider-Man (Tobey McGuire) at Blockbuster.

Spider-Man was Jason Tom’s judo fighter alias.


Jason Tom’s Human Beatbox Adventures!

Prior to that, Detroit Lions head coach Dan Campbell made the reference that Michael Brockers is capable of wielding the hammer of the Mighty Thor. Could both be teasing for a Detroit Lions “Beverly Hills Edition” 35th Anniversary Axel Foley “Color Rush” Varsity Jacket this 2022 that will play to the Detroit Lions “Color Rush” Motor City silver uniforms?

The Detroit Lions “Motor City silver” color rush uniforms are aesthetically my favorite color rush uniform in the league. I love how their “White Lion” jersey numbers pop and how it’s accented with their “Honolulu Blue” outline with the “Motor City silver” from top to bottom.

And will it play to the Detroit “White Lions” alternate uniforms? Their Majestic “White Lion” alternate uniforms was a new Detroit Lions uniform reveal earlier in this season.

Majestic White Lion.

I am anticipating that Detroit Lions could be cooking up potential uniform updates. Could we one day see a comeback and a reimagined modern take of the “original” Detroit Lions “Honolulu Blue” football helmets that they wore during their “NFL World Championship” seasons brought back to the present to usher in the modern era of the Detroit Lions as future Super Bowl Champions in the NFL? Would be epic!
As a Detroit Lions and sports outerwear fan, I would like to one day see a Detroit Lions NFL World Champions Jacket brought out with the current Detroit Lions logo featuring all of their NFL World Championships of 1935, 1952, 1953, and 1957.

Yes, Lions have a 2-13-1 record this season. This week is the Detroit Lions’ final game of this NFL regular season and it will be against their divisional rival Green Bay Packers.

I see a bright future ahead for the Detroit Lions, and I truly believe that their best is still yet to come.

Detroit Lions to form Gridiron Voltron! 

It’s my birthday week and I figured why not have some fun with the latest installment of my blog cast. The Detroit Lions play at Cleveland Browns on my birthday, Sunday, November 21st.

Detroit Lions at Ford Field photo by Jeff Nguyen

Yes, that means it’s time fo the Detroit Lions to collaborate with the Voltron Lions to form Gridiron Voltron! When the Detroit Lions unleash their “Voltron Force” rushing attack offense complimented by their defense and special teams, they’ll capture their “WIN,” one game at time, in all three phases of the game, this NFL season! Go Lions! Let’s ROAR OUT with the “WIN” in week 11! Let’s do this!


I know that Detroit Lions running back Jamaal Williams, who watches “anime” all day, knows what the Voltron Lions and Voltron Force are all about. Detroit Lions, let’s show the world what our Lions are all about in week 11. Let’s do this, one game at a time. Let’s improve our record! Was electrifying to watch our Detroit “Voltron Force” Lions rushing attack offense in week 10 at Pittsburg Steelers led by Detroit Lions’ D’Andre Swift, Jermar Jefferson, and Godwin Igwebuike. I will be praying for our injured running backs Jermar Jefferson and Jamaal Williams and our other injured players for their healing and recovery. Will Lions head coach Dan Campbell and coaching staff sooner than later activate running back Craig Reynolds from the practice squad to the active roster to help us capture “wins” this season? Let’s do it!

Detroit Lions Jamaal Williams photo by Jeff Nguyen

As a child of the 80s, I grew up watching the Detroit Lions and Voltron when running back Barry Sanders was on fire and Eddie Murphy as “Axel Foley” donned the iconic NFL Detroit Lions “Beverly Hills Edition” Varsity Jacket.

Detroit Lions outside linebacker Julian Okwara (99), Detroit Lions safety Dean Marlowe (31), Detroit Lions linebacker Alex Anzalone (34), Detroit Lions safety Will Harris (25), and Detroit Lions outside linebacker Trey Flowers (90), Aj Parker, Amani Oruwariye, DaShawn Hand, Tracy Walker celebrate after an interception during a NFL football game agains the Pittsburg Steelers on Sunday, November 14, 2021 in Pittsburg, PA.

I recently placed my order of the Detroit Lions Homage x Starter Gridiron Jacket that features the retro Lions logo on the front left chest and throwback “LIONS” wordmark on the back so that I can support and root for the Detroit Lions when they form Gridiron Voltron. I received a text that it has been shipped. I hope it arrives in time for the week 11 Detroit Lions game at Cleveland Browns.

The Roar Motor City Sports Talk: Jason Tom 

My recent Facebook Page post about how “I will ROAR OUT for our Detroit Lions” took on a life of its own and it organically picked up momentum that caught wind of Detroit Lions and NFL fans across the nation. Then Justin Valentine of The Roar Motor City Sports Talk Show interviewed me and I’ve since been dubbed the “Most Optimistic Detroit Lions Fan.” Yes, I still support and love the Honolulu Blue and Silver even though we’re 0-8 thus far this NFL season. You can watch the full interview on my blog cast here.

Drop me a comment on my blog.. please do. I would greatly appreciate it. I am looking forward in hearing from you, blog readers, Detroit Lions fans, NFL fans, football fans, and sports fans. And even if you aren’t a sports fan.. this was a fun interview that I wanted to share with you. GO LIONS! Let’s ROAR OUT!

Jason Tom's Father's Day Dedication 

National Beatbox Day and Father's Day this month is special... 

Jason Tom the Human Beatbox in Creation Production Season Three. Photo credit: Albert Moreno

As a man of faith, I am so grateful to have reprised my Human Beatbox artist role in the third installment of the God-centered Creation production that features ballet, dance, acrobatics, contemporary, jazz, human beatbox, and music presented by Prisma Dance and directed by Nicole Lam. Creation was inspired by Genesis chapter 1; and Romans chapter 1 verse number 20.

Jason Tom the Human Beatbox in Creation Production Season Three. Photo credit: Albert Moreno

I uploaded this beatbox video last night in celebration of a successful Creation third season. I dedicate this one in memory of my father and in honor of fathers on this Father's Day month. I love you and I miss you Dad!
 

This third season, I beatboxed with an amazing Creation cast and crew this past Pentecost weekend three weekends ago and this past Memorial Day and Trinity Sunday weekend two weekends ago. I already miss Creation as I type. It's a joy to have been a part of this season's wonderful Creation production cast and crew. I love Prisma Dance's choreography and Nicole Lam's direction in Creation. It's a splendor to be a part of Creation. I appreciate Nicole Lam and the Prisma Dance family.

Creation Production Season Two cast and crew.

In the past two Creations, I rocked varsity jackets with a snapback as headwear, but this season, I rocked a varsity jacket and headwear that featured the "Honolulu Blue Lion" of the Detroit Lions as my human beatbox artistic way to symbolize "Jesus the Lion of Judah." My nickname for this Creation season three was "Mr. Blueberry Man." Love it!

Last year, I was proposed to be in Israel and then back in the United States for a lead human beatbox artist role for another production. I honored my word on reprising my human beatbox artist role for Creation production's third season. No further word on the other production that would've begun in Israel as they were recently impacted by circumstances, but my intercessory prayers go out to Israel.

Right at this moment, I pray for the restoration of peace for the Israeli, Jewish and Arab people as there are ongoing challenges.

I pray for God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit's hedge of protection for Israeli, Jewish and Arab people.


I stand with Israel,

 

 

Detroit Lions Pop Culture 

I stumbled upon gems in popular culture when I Googled "Detroit Lions"..... the LIONS, established in 1934, are NFL world champions of 1935, 1952, 1953, and 1957. What can I say? Our 2018, 2019, and 2020 National Football League seasons were rough. It's about time we turn things around with our new owner Sheila Ford Hamp, new general manager Brad Holmes, new head coach Dan Campbell, new assistant head coach Duce Staley, our new coaching staff, and our new QB1 Jared Goff. Let's bite kneecaps LIONS!!!

Detroit Lions Beverly Hills Jacket 

NFL Draft 2021 season!

I am excited that Detroit Lions' drafted Oregon Ducks' offensive lineman and American Samoan native Penei Sewell. Great pick. Let's go Detroit Lions on our road to being playoff contenders and Super Bowl champions. Restore the roar.

The NFL has licensed two official Detroit Lions "Beverly Hills Edition" Axel Foley jackets that commemorates the 25th and 30th anniversary of Beverly Hills Cop II. Great Detroit Lions collector jackets to sport. I ordered these at Motor City's Fanatic U and Gameday Detroit.

Will there be an official NFL 35th anniversary and third release? The Detroit Lions could be teasing for the latest installment of the "Beverly Hills Edition" Axel Foley jacket.

NFL, G-III Sports, and Pro Football Hall of Fame linebacker Carl Banks licensed the first official release of the Detroit Lions "Beverly Hills Edition" Axel Foley Letterman Jacket that commemorates the 25th Anniversary of Beverly Hills Cop II.
