The Ford Lions: Where Quality Is NOT Job 1
William Clay Ford has announced that Matt Millen will return as general manager of the Detroit Lions.
Millen's return comes despite Detroit's ongoing NFL-record 24-game road losing streak and two high-profile verbal gaffes concerning a current or former Lion player.The verbal gaffes are bad enough, but 9-38 over his three years?! That's horrible.Earlier this month, Millen came under fire for using a derogatory term for gays in a heated exchange with Kansas City receiver Johnnie Morton, who spent eight years in Detroit before being cut in 2001. Millen apologized shortly after making the comment.
In 2002, Millen was panned for referring to one of his players as a "devout coward" during a radio interview.
In Millen's three years in the Lions' front office, the team has compiled a 9-38 record and has not won a game on the road. The Lions were 9-7 the season before Millen took control.
One surely hopes Mr. Ford knows something more about cars.

The lions need to dump harrington! Is it not obvious. The inability to read coverage is not the teams fault! Oh my....sad quarterback decisions. There is an answer! Jason Gesser of the Calgary Stampeders. Look what he has done for them in just two games he was in. Poor Lions....look into the light.
