Unsurprisingly, U2 turns out to be the hero of this story, valiantly making great music in the face of insurmountable cultural odds, all while staying true to their roots.

Layne’s 50-year curse beginning to lift

By Andy Van Sistine | Mar. 3, 2009

Back in November, a month before the end of the NFL's regular season, I wrote about the Detroit Lions and their march towards infamy as the only team to ever accrue a 0-16 record in the NFL.
