Tougher To Be A Lions Fan Or A Tigers Fan? Jeff Daniels Makes The Call [VIDEO]

Kid Rock, Tim Allen and Eminem might get more attention when they support Michigan teams.

But I don't think there's a bigger, more loyal celebrity sports fan than Jeff Daniels.

The Oscar-nominated actor is out promoting two new movies – "The Martian" and "Steve Jobs". His media blitz took him to ESPN where he happened to land the day after the Lions lost the "Batgate" game to the Seahawks. Daniels appeared on all the ESPN platforms including SportsCenter where he said that he felt cursed to be a Lions fan.

He also appeared on "His and Hers" (with fellow Michigan native Jemele Hill) and was asked if it's harder to be a Tigers fan or a Lions fan.

To me, the answer is a no-brainer – it's the Lions. Jeff seems to agree.
