A Michigan Bar is Banning Matthew Stafford Jerseys

There have been lots of rumors about Ford Field banning Matthew Stafford jerseys when the Detroit Lions host the Los Angeles Rams at this weekend's Wild Card game. Those rumors are simply not true. I highly doubt Ford Field would even think to implement such a policy. It would be impossible to try to enforce.

That said, if you want to watch the game where you don't have to see any Stafford jerseys in eyesight, then there's a Michigan bar banning Matthew Stafford jerseys that you might want to check out.

Thomas Magee's, a Detroit bar, has a policy for those coming to watch this Sunday's Lions vs. Rams game. They're very clear about it, too. "PSA: please refrain from trying to enter Thomas Magee's on game day with Lions Stafford jerseys," the bar stated on their official Facebook page. "You'll be turned away at the door. It's our first home game in 30 years, use some common sense. Regards, Ownership." They also shared an image of four Stafford jerseys with a big red X over them, making it extra clear that those jerseys aren't allowed on game day. By the way, Matthew's wife Kelly has some thoughts on the jersey thing, which you can find here.

The Detroit Lions are hosting the L.A. Rams Sunday night (Jan. 14) as part of the NFL's wild-card round this weekend. It marks the Lion's first home playoff game in a whopping 30 years and the first-ever at Ford Field. Unfortunately, the greatness of this moment is being overshadowed. Some are only talking about how this game will mark Stafford's first return to Ford Field since he was quarterback. I get why it's a big deal that Stafford is coming "home." But, I really wish people would just focus on the fact that the Lions have dome something incredible this season. Moreover, our current quarterback Jared Goff is playing the best football of his career. He'll be going up against the team that traded him, including his former head coach Sean McVay. Go Lions. What's more, hit me up with your thoughts here.

We can talk about the best quarterbacks or coaches or running backs in the NFL until we're blue in the face. But, what makes the game really exciting to watch are the personalities behind those players and staffers. Of course, having a fun personality isn't all there is in the NFL. We love watching these guys go at it on the field and witnessing their athleticism. We also love seeing expert coaches leading their teams to victories. But, having a really cool, larger-than-life personality certainly helps. So, what players have the best personalities in the NFL right now?

Before we get to our current list, let's look at some of the most best personalities in the NFL of all time. Bleacherreport.com has a listicle out of the players with the most colorful personalities of all time. Topping that list is Terrell Owens. "Love him or hate him, T.O. has the most colorful personality," they state in the article. "Over his career, he's shown all the qualities: arrogance/confidence, drama (all of 2005 in Philadelphia), excitement, unpredictably, crying (that Tony Romo press conference) and humor." That's a good call. Coming in at No. 2 is the legendary Joe Namath. "Who else could get away with wearing sunglasses on the sideline?" they exclaim. "With the long hair, the occasional Fu Manchu and the playboy attitude, he was the most compelling figure in sports during the late 1960s and early 1970s."

So, what about right now? I looked at the current season and picked a range of roles, from quarterback to coach to tight end. These guys have stood out this season for either their larger-than-life personalities or situations. Also, we discuss the current NFL in the latest episode of my podcast, "The Squad with Anne Erickson," which you can listen to below. Subscribe wherever you listen to podcasts.

Patrick Mahomes, of course, is the star quarterback of the Kansas City Chiefs. He's considered the best quarterback of his era and possibly the next Tom Brady. But, aside from his skills, he also has a big personality. He has more than 6 million Instagram followers, and he posts a bunch of stuff up there, from football material to family photos.

Travis Kelce, the celebrated tight end for the Kansas City Chiefs, is pretty much the most famous guy in football this season. Yes, it's because of his relationship with Taylor Swift. I hate to make that a reason to have him named one of the best personalities in the NFL, but heck, even without the Taylor factor, Kelce has a huge personality that people love.

All eyes are on Dan Campbell this season, as the Lions all pulling off some incredible things. That's not common for the Detroit Lions, either. But, Campbell has some of the wackiest ideas and quotes, and that makes him loveable. Remember that time he wanted a pet Lion at practices? I love this dude.

Bill Belichick needs no introduction, but we'll introduce him anyway. He's the former head coach and general manager of the New England Patriots. He's had some rough years as of late, but nothing can take away his glimmering record. Belichick just tells it like it is. He's incredible with strategies, and that really stands out with his coaching.

Jalen Hurts, the star quarterback for the Philadelphia Eagles, is something of a hero on the field. But, off the field, he's known for his deep, insightful comments that show he has wisdom beyond his years. He's a major contender and personality.
