The Detroit Lions traded Golden Tate to the Philadelphia Eagles Tuesday for a third-round pick.

This infuriates me as a Detroit Lions fan. Absolutely pisses me off to no end. Why, Detroit? Why? Tate is one of the best and shiftiest receivers in the game. Why the hell would we want to get rid of one of Matthew Stafford’s security blankets.

I am so disappointed with everybody involved in this situation that I don’t even know where to begin. Tate was one of my favorite Lions over these past few years. He’s an outstanding receiver when it comes to making guys miss. (RELATED: The Detroit Lions Start The Season With One Of The Worst Games Of Football Ever Played [VIDEOS])

Right now, I’m just heartbroken. I’m sitting at my table just wishing this news was complete fiction.

So long to the sweet angel of the Lions organization. Thanks for the memories, and best of luck with the Eagles.

It was a hell of a ride.
