Lions center Dominic Raiola don’t take kindly to you heckling his 0-13 team. Asked yesterday if he regrets flipping off Detroit fans during the loss Sunday against the Vikings, he responded, “I don’t take one thing back. I’ll say the same thing to a fan that I see in the street. I wish I could give my address out to some fans. I’ll do that. But, you know, I can’t. Nobody plays with fists. Everybody wants to play with metal. So I can’t. I’m so frustrated. I’m tired of being a doormat for people to just talk to us how they want to talk to us. I’m just not going to put up with it anymore.”
Hey, forget your address, Dominic. The Palace of Auburn Hills is always a great place to beat up fans.

Hell, he’s one of the few players worth anything here. And as long as he doesn’t fuck up my perfect reverse season he can flip off Wayne County Jail for all I care. If the Lions can’t be 16-0, dammit I want 0-16. ALL OR NOTHING!!!
“Be glad you don’t work in corporate America where your level of incompetence would have gotten your ass fired after 2 weeks.”
Or a massive taxpayer-funded bailout.
I wish I had 17 weeks to suck ass and draw $10k a week before getting canned.
Hey, here’s a thought: if you don’t like getting flipped off, try not sucking as much. It’s crazy, but it just might work!
I’m tired of being a doormat for people to just talk to us how they want to talk to us. I’m just not going to put up with it anymore.”
Hey cuntrag, why aren’t you tired of other teams treating you like a doormat? Why don’t you stop putting up with that?
Actually, don’t, because seeing you go 0-16 is hilarious. Be glad you don’t work in corporate America where your level of incompetence would have gotten your ass fired after 2 weeks.
Geee…that 8 year-old that was probably the one heckling him sure learned his lesson. All talk.
On the bright side, the game was blacked out locally, so only the 38 people in attendance actually saw him give the finger.
He’s got to be the only player on the Lions showing any signs of passion, or life, at this point. Everyone else is just praying for the sweet blessed relief and comfort of the grave.
Given the way this Lions team has “played” this season…it’d say that’s the biggest middle finger they could give to their fanbase.
BTW, at 0-13, you should shut your mouth and not say anything.
Nothing to see here folks. Move along. All is well. Move along.
Lions organization has been flipping the bird to their fans for years. What makes this unique?
Exactly. Flip off an asshole Lions fan and keep it moving. I don’t see anything wrong here.
It’s about time an athlete nutted up and didn’t apologize for flipping off a fan. If you heckle someone out on the street, they’ll probably give you the one finger salute; Why should it be any different in a stadium? You keep on keeping on Raiola, put those unionized bastages in their place.
Nobody plays with fists. Everybody wants to play with metal.
Do I still have time to vote 100,000 times for Raiola in the Pro Bowl fan voting?
@Grimey:
Less “drafted”, more “demoted from running the hot dog cart”, would be my guess.
Matt Millen drafted a center???
I think Raiola will be recreating The Last Boy Scout pretty soon.
Except he’ll be firing into the stands.
