Lions just plain pathetic

NFL Football at its best. NFL Football at its craziest.
Try this out at your job. Lose. Lose everything in sight. Lose until your boss recognizes you as the biggest loser of all time. Win nothing. Win nothing at all. Have all your employees basically give up. Have all your supporters give up. Become the laughingstock of your industry.
Then…Get rehired.
Owner William Clay Ford said in a released statement Sunday that “he expects both Tom Lewand and Martin Mayhew to return to the organization next season.”
Lewand is the Lions’ chief operating officer. Mayhew was promoted to general manager after Ford fired Matt Millen three games into this season.
Before the Lions suffered a 42-7 loss to New Orleans and became the first NFL team to reach 0-15, Ford told Booth Newspapers that Lewand and Mayhew would help him hire another executive, with their roles yet to be defined. He also said he had not made up his mind whether to fire coach Rod Marinelli.
William Clay Ford is making a big mistake. It is really questionable as to whether Mayhew will be able to clean house and cleaning house is definitely needed. Ford just seems to defy logic all the time. It is like he hates the fans or something.
