Millen Fired

Matt Millen gets fired as President and GM of the Detroit Lions. Great news you say? Well it sure ain't bad news, but great news? Hardly. The damage has been done, and will continue to be here for at least 3 more seasons. However that alone rests on the hope that the new regime will be better (how could it not be???) and improve things. The issue is, the team is still owned by the old man, and he runs the place.

Whomever they bring in, will have a mountain of work to accomplish. The pressure is on. Only time will tell. Afterall, when it comes the Lions, our beloved Motor City Kitties..all we have is time. Hope showed up today for a second, as the Lion nation smirked for the first time in many years.

The old man?

Detroit Lions vice chairman Bill Ford Jr., at a Detroit Economic Club event Monday, had this to say in response to a reporter’s question about the Lions game on Sunday:

“It was an embarrassment, the fans deserve better, and if I had the authority, I would have fired the general manager,” Matt Millen, Ford said.

When asked again a few minutes later if he would fire Millen, he said, “Yes, but I don’t have that authority.”

The Lions are 0-3. Their latest loss was a 31-13 defeat at San Francisco.

Matt Millen

Since Millen's arrival in 2001, the Lions are 31-83, 52 games below .500, and have lost 9 or more games each season. During the early part of Millen's tenure (2001-2003), the Lions failed to win a road game for three years (0-24) before opening the season with a win at the Chicago Bears in 2004. Overall, the Lions are 8-48 on the road since 2001.[5] Millen himself admitted to an interviewer in 2008 that the team's record under his leadership has been "beyond awful". The Wall Street Journal said that NFL executives admit in private that Millen "has made more bad draft decisions than anyone else in two centuries."

Despite the team's record on the field, Matt Millen is the second highest paid general manager in the NFL

Stupidity

Home Game 1: Believe in Nothing

The home opener against Green Bay. The first time in like 100 years they played the Packers without Favre at the helm. Did it matter? No because Aaron Rodgers looked like friggin Bart Starr out there.

Packers 48
Lions 25

Chicken Brats were very good as was the apple coleslaw and spaeztel.


Lions suck in case you didnt know.

Great Quote

Roy Williams
paraphrasing..
"...we don't have many wins in the last season or so. but we have swagger. We feel we can compete with anyone".


I can't stop laughing

Game 1: Believe in Now

Detroit 21
Atlanta 34

Believe in the fact this team still can't tackle. Believe in the fact they miss tackles left and right. Believe in the fact Jon Kitna doesnt go for a first down when the team is down 10 points and slides (aka Scott Mitchell). Believe in the fact that they let a rookie quarterback hardly throw the ball. Believe in the fact over 300 yards were allowed rushing. Believe in the fact that they had midget quarterbacks against our tall recievers and the quarterback couldnt get them the ball. Believe in the same old Lions.

Here we go again...
