Right, but he keeps hiring idiots who spend his money on the wrong things. That's on Ford. After 46 years you would think he could find a competent G.M.

I agree. He hasn't hired the right people and he hasn't held the idiots he has hired accountable. Instead he gives them a 5 year contract extension.

I'm not saying WCF is blameless, but several people (mostly on detnews) have been saying to boycott the games because WCF is just lining his pockets and not spending any money to improve the team. That just isn't true. He is spending his money, he's just making poor decisions on who to spend it on (or letting others do it for him, as you pointed out).

I really don't care who owns the team, I just want the team to win some freaking games!!!

Me too. I'm 46 years old. They've won a single playoff game in my lifetime. It makes me sick that I can't make myself switch alliances. The Lions bring heartbreak, disappointment, and frustration to their fans almost every year. For crying out loud...the Fontes years WERE the Lions golden era. How pathetic is that?

Hahaha, I definately feel your pain. I've been a diehard sports fan since the day I was born.

I've liked the same sports teams my entire life - only 1 team per sport, no second favourites. I've never changed alliances and never will. Montreal Canadians, Detroit Pistons, Detroit Lions and Toronto Blue Jays. The same as my father. As long as they exist, I'll be a fan.

The Lions are the only team out of all of them that have never won a championship in my lifetime. In fact, every other team has one at least 2 championships in my lifetime. Yet I'd say the Lions are probably my favourite team out of all of them.

Every single year I, like many other Lions fans, get my hopes up in the offseason thinking "maybe this will be the year". Not even dreaming of a championship necessarily. I'd be happy with starting at respectability and working our way up.

Every year they tease us with "potential", yet by the end of the season (and often times well before the end), they leave us all scratching our heads (or busting t.v.s and throwing remotes) saying those infamous 3 last words:

SAME OLD LIONS!

New owner, that's harsh man. The son wasn't doing to bad with Wayneo.

Deja vous all over again. Are they gonna fire Marinelli this weekend?

Obviously only one thing can turn this turd around...new ownership/management. FIRE THE FORDS!!! and their butt-boy Millen.

Heres a sweet video on Millen as the Lions President:

YouTube - Fire MIllen - Save the Lions

At least I have T. Romo as my starting QB. That helped cancel some of yesterdays pain.
Sure he's a Cowboy/enemy but he's a hand picked player. I own his stats.

Yes 14.32%</B>
No 85.68%</B>

I've seen this team lose on Thanksgiving Day to Josie and The %%%%%cats, I've seen them lose to the Bad News Bears, Raiders of the Lost Ark and To Bronco Billy. So I won't be surprised if today is the Day of The Dolphin. Joey Harrington might come out today and look like Joey Buttafucco with a smile on his face after banging Amy Fisher on the backseat of Matt Millen's 1967 Corvette.
