We're less than an hour out from the Lions' first playoff game in 12 years and the first in the history of The Wayne Fontes Experience. Suddenly, I'm a tad sentimental. I had to take a quick look back.

The first post on TWFE V1.0 was 6 years ago this week, on January 3rd, 2006. And what do you know, I completely forgot my own blog's anniversary!

The first post about the Lions in particular was on January 14th, 2006, where I bitched about something Drew Sharp wrote about the Lions' then ongoing coaching search (which resulted in the hiring of The Shoveler, Rod Marinelli). I bitched about something the hacky Sharp wrote? Some things never change.

By Octover of 2008, TWFE had evolved from a Detroit-centric all sports blog to strictly a Detroit Lions/NFL blog. 3 plus years later, I finally get to write about a Lions playoff team.   

So here I am on January 7th, 2012, writing on TWFE V3.0. I'm waiting for the once unthinkable, a Lions playoff game, to finally kickoff.

Win or lose, it was worth the wait.
