If the definition of insanity is doing the same thing repeatedly and expecting different results then the Lions took a step away from insanity exactly two years ago today. On September 24, 2008 the Detroit Lions recognized the failure of the Millen-era and fired Matt Millen as president and CEO. There is no better way to celebrate the occasion than with some pictures.
