Detroit Lions send jersey to fan in hospice who dyed his hair blue

Stories like this always make me smile.

SAGINAW TOWNSHIP, Mich. (WJRT) - Larry Benjamin is receiving hospice care, but it won't dampen his enthusiasm for the Detroit Lions hosting a second home playoff game this weekend.

He dyed his hair Honolulu blue after seeing Lions wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown sporting blue locks on national TV after the team beat the Los Angeles Rams at Ford Field last Sunday.

St. Brown heard about Benjamin's gesture of support for the Lions and gave him a phone call earlier this week. St. Brown also sent Benjamin an autographed jersey inscribed with: "Larry the Man, Keep being a beast. Best fans in the world. One Pride!
