Matt Millen clueless

NFL Football at its best. NFL Football at its craziest.
What is wrong with Matt Millen? Are we still trying to figure that out? Every year he was the General Manager of the Detroit Lions things just got worse until our season was basically over when the draft was over. The only thing to wait for was the following years high draft pick of a wide receiver.

Now Matt stands in denial that he had anything to do with it. To him the losing just happened at a time that he happened to be in charge. Matt will move on and make more millions broadcasting, but few, if any, Detroit fans will forgive him for what he did as he systematically destroyed the Lions franchise.

But for Millen to portray himself as a victim is downright offensive to the people of Detroit, Lions fans everywhere and those who cover the team. As a media member, he should know how criticism works. As a former player and executive, he should know how accountability works. He has criticized, hired and fired people himself.

Millen was not a convenient scapegoat. He was not a “cheap and easy story to jump on.” He was not blamed for the fall of the auto industry, the housing market and the Kilpatrick mayoral scandal. For Millen to rub salt in those wounds is inappropriate at best. Maybe Millen was trying to be funny. Doesn’t matter.
