This Sunday, during a game NOBODY will see, the 1-8 Detroit Lions will unveil a "Pride of the Lions'' during halftime of the team's game against the 1-8 Cleveland Browns.

Twelve former Lions will be honored during the ceremony, and their names, numbers and years played will be displayed in a portion of Ford Field. All 12 members are in the Pro Football Hall of Fame.

I didn't even know the Lions had 12 "great" players. The Lions are as deserving of something like this as Carl Lewis and Roseanne were of standing ovations after their renditions of our National Anthem.

Why didn't they switch it up and do a Ring of Shame? There's enough names for that list to fill a five-foot high stack of phone books.

Terry Fair (taken one spot ahead of Randy Moss in 1998). Andre Ware. Charles Rogers. Joey Harrington.

You know how bad it is? When you think of great Lions, you always hear the same three or four names: Barry, Bobby Layne, Charlie Sanders, Herman Moore. But there's enough awful former players and execs to fill a couple 53-man rosters.

Dan Orlovsky. Mike Williams. Brian Calhoun. Scott Mitchell. Everybody on the roster of the 1942 team that went 0-11 and scored 38 points the entire season.

This Ring of Horror isn't just reserved for players. Nope. Coaches and front office personnel have spots, too.

Former coach Alvin McMillin, who was hired in 1948 and led the team to a .333 win percentage in his tenure.

Former GM Matt Millen, who, over a little more than a seven-year stretch, ran a football team about as good as a paraplegic would fly a space shuttle. The team was 31-97 under Millen. They went 8-50 on the road. From 2001 to 2007, Millen was responsible for the drafting 53 players. Five are still with the team.

Rod Marinelli: a head coach who was in way over his head and who oversaw the first 0-16 team in NFL history.

None of them compares to owner Bill Ford Sr. Forty-three years ago Sunday, Ford purchased the team for $4.5 million. It's worth about $800 million today. That's about $799,999,999.67 too much. In that $800 million somewhere lies one playoff win since 1957.

So what are they honoring again?
