I caught that.

So basically, 8-8 TaS?

They have a better chance of being moved to Canada than they do of going .500.

The Montreal Lions!

The Alouettes would clean the Lion's clocks.

Oh ye of little faith. Marinelli recognized Rogers talent, and gave him a year to prove he could play his way. He couldn't keep it up due to his lack of work ethic that caught up to him from last summer. Good news is the Lions only have $1.5M in dead money as opposed to over $16M last year. They can well afford to trade him now.

btw, you guys want any inside info (seriously) I'll do my best to answer.

Ozark:

Anything you can give us would be greatly appreciated. If you can get close to WCF and get his take on Millen that would be great too.

Dude, just spill the beans!

Seriously though, these questions have been bothering me for awhile.

1. Is Mike Martz an albino?

2. Does Rod Marinelli have comprehensive dental coverage?

3. Why doesn't Kevin Jones wear underwear?

4. Has Matt Millen passed all organizational mental health and drug screening tests?

But maybe if the Ford name goes down far enough they'll be forced to sell it.

I spoke to one of my customers and told her i was blessed to see the following since 1963:

NBA- 3 WORLD TITLES (8, IF U COUNT MAGIC'S 5 WITHE LAKERS)
NHL- 3 STANLEY CUPS
MLB- 3 WORLD SERIES
NCAA MEN- BASKETBALL 3 NATL TITLES(RICE'S U-M, MAGIC'S MSU, CLEAVES' MSU) AND 6 TOTAL FINAL 4'S
-FOOTBALL U-M NATIONAL TITLE
HOWARD AND WOODSON HEISMAN TROPHY'S
-HOCKEY 4 NATIONAL TITLES
WNBA- 2 WORLD TITLES
USFL- 1 CHAMPIONSHIP (PANTHERS)

and yet this town would EXPLODE, if the Lions could win just ONE playoff game!

yep all of those save the 68 tigers i have seen we have a great sports areas in the country as we excell in all sports.

for years i would rationalize the lions saying it just takes time to build winners, but when you see a team start from NOTHING and make the playoffs and we just get happy if we can hit .500 a year here and there.

just so annoying...... sigh

and yes michigan as a whole would explode if the lions really could turn the corner and just have a chance to make and be competitive in the playoffs.

It can be done, remember how sorry the Bucs were all those years? Then it seemed all of a sudden, they started winning. Now they aren't a joke anymore. Same guys are building this team.
