About David Lubin Expertise I am the biggest Detroit Lions fan in Canada. I`ve been following them for over 30 years (and suffered plenty!). Ask me opinions or facts no problem.
Experience Every year I'm aware of the entire roster from top to bottom, every cut etc... Along the way, I've purchased and read books and articles on the teams history.
Publications The Sporting News published a letter I wrote in 1994 commenting on how stupid the Lions were to sign Scott Mitchell.
Education/Credentials MBA - Marketing (York University - Canada)
Question Yes, I have been attempting to find out the starting lineup for the offense and defense of the '80' Lions. Now I've been to various websites that say they have the information and most of it conflicts with one another. I have even tried to contact the Detroit Lions proper and they didn't reply to my request so it's my hope you can pass along the information I'm looking for. Thanks..
