It’s been a long time since they’ve gotten it right.
Tonight was an over time thriller. Couple of weeks ago, the Eagles and the Cowboys burned down the barn and put up a million points, I’ve been lapping this up like delicious gravy!
Monday Night Football lost the national, free air TV audience because it became terrible. [...]

It’s Sunday and I don’t have a loss to complain about. I guess that’s a good thing, right?
I’m pretty stoked for the Eagles - Bears Sun Night game, I bet that’s going to be a sweet one.
There is very little to take from the actions of the Lions this week, firing Millen was a step [...]

He was the general manager of the Tennessee Titans from 1994 to 2006. He was about 2 1/2 yards away from a Super Bowl ring. He knows how to draft, he knows how to build a good team. Heck, the Titans should have been a lot more successful in his tenure, they just seemed to [...]

From Freep.com:
Matt Millen’s highly criticized and unproductive tenure with the Lions has ended.
Lions owner and chairman William Clay Ford announced around 3:30 p.m. that Millen has been relieved of his duties as president and CEO, which he held since January 2001.
Executive vice president and COO Tom Lewand will now report directly to Ford on [...]

“It was an embarrassment, the fans deserve better, and if I had the authority, I would have fired the general manager… but I don’t have that authority” - Bill Ford, Jr.
Matt Millen, General Manager of the Detroit Lions is 8 - 50 on the road in his tenure. I’ll whip out some other wacky stats, [...]

Well that was a frustrating debacle to watch.
Hammered on both sides of the ball. Looked absolutely impotent defensively and found ourselves down 21 right off the bat. AGAIN. FOR THE THIRD TIME IN A ROW. One thing I did like was Rudi Johnson, he looked like a real running back and scored our lonely Touch [...]

Everyone I know that is doing that fantasy football thing is picking up JT O’Sullivan off of waivers this week and starting him.
Let’s face it, not only do the Lions barely ever win on the road and are playing in a place they haven’t won at in like 30 years, they are facing a guy [...]

Millen of old:

Millen, looking old:

They say a picture is worth a thousand words, and boy howdy here’s 2000 right here.
I guess you can’t accuse Matt of not caring; these 8 years have really taken their toll. But he has a lot of faith this time around (at least, until Thanks Giving, he also has a [...]

Blurb from the Freep.com:
A report that running back Cedric Benson was about to sign with the Lions was inaccurate.
Benson visited the Lions on Tuesday along with former NFL most valuable player Shaun Alexander and Vernand Morency. But the Lions were just looking at running backs in case they need one in the future.
The Lions often [...]

Granted I was a little lathered up last blog, a my feathers were a bit ruffled. I’m looking forward to the NFL Replay of the Lions/Packers Game (it will be on at 8pm, if you’ve never watched it, they play all the good games of the week and they cut out all the down time, [...]
