Lions Fire Millen When He's 3-0???



Thought I would take a quick screen shot of foxsport.com after they broke the Millen firing. Pretty funny that out of all the things they would get wrong it would be Millen not having a single loss on his record.

As I'm sure all the Lions fans are thrilled but it will still take at least two years if the Ford's can finally get the right guy in here. Until there is more on the search for GM or anything of substance from the Lions on the field I won't bring everyone down off their high from the firing of Mr. Millen with more Leo talk.

On to Michigan. A lot of talk this week about UM still taking it to the Badgers despite the ranking of the Badgers and recent loss to the Domers by Michigan. I'm a huge M fan but I just don't see it happening, sorry. Every time I want to convince myself that UM can do it I think about our QBs who can only throw 5 yard passes, and it still is shaky. You just can't win in the kind of offense RR runs until you get dual threat QBs in there to keep the defense honest. You never know though, I'm pretty sure their was a big upset last night so college football continues to be college football!!

I really hope they pull it off and if RR is really all he is supposed to be (I think he is) then he will again have the offense playing better then the previous weeks. Just keep your hands on the ball freshmen.

Time for a little MSU talk. Javon Ringer is a BEAST. Man I love watching him run for the Sparties. The problem that many think this may cause is that he is getting 40 carries or so and that may be too much for the brick house to continue with his dominance. If he is to be productive throughout the entire season Hoyer better start getting the rock moving through the air. I also didn't know how good or bad MSU would be with Coach D after his first year, they are good.

MSU has been able to get a ton of instate recruits and are putting together a very good class. I will still wait for the entire season to play out and for them to put to bed the echoes of falling late in the season until I crown Coach D as the man who will bring MSU back to the top 4 of the Big Ten in regards to football. Also please win a bowl game for once.

Nice catch



Good bye Mr. Millen! Please watch the entire video it is one of the best especially if you’re a Leos fan.



I don’t like David Blaine but love Kimbo Slice so I have to post him hitting Blaine right? Too bad he only punches him in the stomach and not the head.

Like Christmas Again!

It is so nice to sit at my computer once again and keep hitting refresh over and over to see whether or not my fantasy team can win the game for me. Also I love the smack talk and having something to look forward to other then the Lions every Sunday.

As I'm sure many of you out there are aware of how bad the Lions looked against a very suspect team in Atlanta. I really just don't understand why they can never turn the corner - Millen!!! We continue to suck in the draft and don't even have our first two picks out there starting!?!? Just take a look a the good teams in the NFL who make the playoffs. Even with their great teams they are still able to find picks and have them starting on a team that is better then the Lions.....

It shouldn't get to me anymore being a Lions fan all my life but I'm not a sports fan from Atlanta or Carolina who could give a shit less about their NFL team. I'm a Lion fan and I want them to win a Lombardi Trophy someday. I know this is probably not realistic at this time with Millen wasting draft after draft and Marinelli blowing smoke up everyone's ass at his pressers.

As for the Wolverines, they still looked like a team in transition with a new football coach and complex system. I'm still hearing the fans on the radio talk about the recruiting class and how he is trying to make square pegs fit in round holes, yes that is true in some ways. I understand that every once and awhile they can line up and run right at the defense but in the end will doing this for one year help the program down the road? No it won't.

This team is very young and all the experience they get now learning and running the offense will only help us when we continue to get the players in here that are needed for the system to be the most effective. Understand Michigan fans this team is very very young and they would be the same for Llyod if he was here. For as bad as it looks though Notre Dame still looks worse and I think UM can pull it off once again against the fat guy.

Go Blue!!

One more little note before the vids. I was sad to see Tom Brady go down and this issue has been covered more then enough. I just wish him luck in his comeback and know he will be fine after having the same injury to both of my knees.

Mike and Mike on Monday Night also suck. They should just let Ditka be in there by himself. I bet he wouldn't even talk sometimes and just let people watch the game without an annoying voice every second of the game.

What would it look like if NFL players had a fantasy football draft? The Washington Redskins will show you. (Longer video but well worth the watch for any fantasy football player)



Here is a highlight from the Georgia/CMU game. Great play by Knowshon Moreno who may be up for the Heisman this year.

Poll Results Are In!

Thanks for all the lazy bastards who weren't too lazy to click on which GM of the four pro sports teams in Detroit they would want to run their team if they had one.

Here were the results:
Joe D - 15 votes
Ken Holland - 16 votes
Dave Dombrokski - 29 votes WINNER
Matt Millen - 2 votes

I'm glad both Mr. Ford and Mr. Millen himself are both regular visitors to my blog, because we all know they are the only people who would want Millen to continue on with the rain of terror he has caused for Lions fans, no offense (I only have so many readers and don't want it to go down to 3 from 5).

I find it pretty funny that DD was the GM picked by most because of what everyone thought the Tigers would be doing this year with his off season moves. The Tigs better get it going soon so you voters don't look like idiots. I still think the Tigs will be fine and the division is playing horrible with them only 3 1/2 back.

As for Joe D. and Ken Holland, their teams are right where everyone expects them to be, in the hunt for a championship! I really think the Wings will for sure win it all and the Pistons will make it to the finals have a tough series against the Hornets with them pulling it off in 7.

Tigs are on tonight against Boston and hopefully they can get a win streak going to get back to the .500 mark.

I have not decided what to do the next poll on so if you have any ideas please email or make a comment about what you think would be a good one.

Here are some great pics of the mans/ping pong room over at Dreamers house. Nice.

Millen does it again!!!

Well here we are after another horrible Lions season. The news of the day for the Lions is that the Mike Martz has been fired by the Lions, yeah he was the reason for the pussycats to lie down this season??? It never fails that Matt Millen finds a way to deflect his horrible record as an NFL GM to a coach or a player (Joey Harrington, Rogers, Williams, just to name a few).



Another interesting fact about the Lions coaching staff is the hire of Mr. Marinelli's son-in-law, Joe Berry before the start of the season. Man is this guy a great coach!!! He was able, as D-line coach, to help our defense to the rank as the leagues worst, man what a coaching tradition we have! If your going to can Martz who has accomplished success in the NFL, then why aren't they looking at Mr. Berry? Oh you don't want Christmas dinner to be uncomfortable for the family I guess? The Lions still continue to frusturate every loyal fan they have.



Day in and day out I come across at least a few articles about the lions and always see the shots that many people take at the fanbase we have for supporting our hometown team. What you don't think I know the Lions will and do suck?? I know what they are and I know the record of the great owner William Clay Ford Jr.. What am I supposed to do? Jump to another team and go against what I believe is a fan should be about? I never did that with the Red Wings, Tigers, or Pistons throughout my life! The big difference is that those teams have been setup by great owners - Bill Davidson & Mike Illitch. I know this is all old hat to many Detroit fans and it is pathetic to say the least.



Until either Matt Millen is let go or Mr. Ford has past away (please forgive me), I don't see any bright light at the end of the tunnel for the cats. I feel bad for the older Lions fan who has stuck with the team through so many years and has been ridiculed by many people throughout their life for sticking with their team. Only time will tell whether I become one of those fans. I have seen championships for the three other teams in my lifetime, but I know that if the Lions were ever able to bring a Lombardi trophy to Detroit it would be the greatest one of all.
