There’s going to be a walkout at Ford Field. This is notable because, well, NFL tickets are real expensive. Theres only eight home games, too. Walk out on one and you only got seven left over. This is pretty impressive and disciplined hatred from the Detroit crowd. Millen has earned that type of hatred. He inspired this sublime sentence from the Associated Press.
The Lions (2-12) are tied with Oakland for the worst record in the league and are an NFL-worst 23-71 since 2001, when Millen took control of the once-mediocre franchise.
The once-mediocre franchise. Now that’s something you don’t want to see written with longing tone. If only the Lions could return to the heights of mediocrity. That would be something, wouldn’t it.
