My favorite teams
This guy probably attended the last Lions championship game and now he’s gone! RIP
Actually, he did attend that game. 1957 was a great year for Lions football!
“Before The News, Mr. Green was at the Associated Press' Detroit bureau, with whom he saw the Lions win the 1957 NFL championship. Green believed he was the only writer who covered championships for all four major pro teams in Detroit: the Lions, Tigers, Red Wings and Pistons. Only the Tigers and Red Wings were older than him — and barely.”

Iconic Detroit News columnist Jerry Green, last to cover every Super Bowl, has died at age 94
In February 2020, Green officially became the last reporter to see all of the Super Bowls, and his streak ended this year, as he watched from home.
