The real issue is that the Lions situation probably gets more publicity given the fact they have not won a title in over 50 years and have barely made the playoffs either. Their ineptness gets more play on the late night shows of Letterman, Kimmel and Leno shows; Millen gets dogged on ESPN's> PTI, ARTH and First Take, so more people are aware of their issues than that the other nominees. I had no idea the Pirates hadn't had a winning season in 15 years
