NFL Football at its best. NFL Football at its craziest.

This is the ultimate insult. My Lions do not have the worst owner if football. William Clay Ford tried as hard as he could to be the worst, but just came up short. What more could he do? He kept Matt Millen around forever. He kept Wayne Fontes around forever. He let great players leave rather than pay them. He destroyed one coach’s career after another. And most of all, Ford lost and lost and lost and lost and continues losing.
Alas, it was …read more

“Yeah, they did it. 0 – 16. They have the losingest Coach in Rod Marinelli, the losingest owner in William Clay Ford, and the losingest GM’s in Matt Millen and Mayhew.”

But Marinelli said they did not talk about his future, despite Sunday’s 34-7 loss to Chicago and the Lions’ 0-4 start. He also said Ford did not ask or order him to play any particular player.

But he said: “I never try to read nothing …read more

Hey, hey, hey!
Your intrepid author went home today and told the wife, “Honey, don’t get me anything for Xmas, my present already arrived”. The Detroit Lions owner, William Clay Ford, fired Matt Millen the GM.
Finally there is something to look forward to in the Lions season. Now we can’t quit there. Just keep on firing. Get rid of the entire front office, the coaches, most of the players, maybe even the parking lot attendants. Ok, …read more

The return of the Squibster. Now the good and the bad. The good is that my most excellent boss and coworkers filled in quite nicely and that is most appreciated.
The bad is the Squibster is diagnosed with Cancer and undergoing chemotherapy. Fear not, they say the cancer is one that is curable, so let us move forward with our dreams of football!
