[a500lbgorilla]

epic 5 spade thread

[UG]

lol

it's still THE DETROIT LIONS with or without Matt Millen imo

[ProZachNation]

lol each time they bring in a new coach everyone get excited... but nothing changes and I die a little more.

[dalecooper]

There are still Lions fans..?

[mcatdog]

I'm happy for you Bob, you must feel like you just won the Super Bowl.

I'm still waiting for the man in my avatar to get fired.

[drmcboy]

congrats

now marvin lewis!

After years and years wrecking the Lions with poor decisions, you're looking at:
1 Year of controversy where no matter who the lions install as an interrim GM He'll be compared against Matt Millen favorably/unfavorably depending on whether the lions win or not.

3 years of "rebuilding through the draft". That's IF the GM picked after Millen is any good.

Finally after 3 years of rebuilding through the draft, you may have playoff relevancy.

See you in 4 years.
heh

[gabe]

wish you could fire an owner

[BennyLaRue]

I'm totally chubbin right now.

[Ltrain]

Shoot, the Lions just fired the Packers 12th man. Thank goodness the owner is number 13.

First of all, no one is going to compare whoever the new GM is this year to Millen based on this season. Any intelligent person realizes that the players/coaches Millen brought in will be playing out this season and many will be with the team for a while. Most fans realize that this doesn't mean we are going to be good anytime soon, it just means that there is actually hope now.

Second, the scenario you mentioned is 100000000 times better than "we are stuck with Millen through 2010". Once again, there is hope now.

lol who has brought in the last 4 coaches? MATT FUCKING MILLEN

[Lukie]

lol lions

[WildBobAA]

lol browns

[Lukie]

if my estimations are correct, this was done purely because of the millen-public-relations-nightmare, and the lions organization (read: mr. ford) has no plan whatsoever to right the ship and will probably promote a front office member slightly more clueless than millen himself into his position.

i predict doom n gloom for the lions for the next 10 years

Sounds about right. It always starts at the top. If your ownership is as clueless as the Lions' then you don't have much of a chance unless you get lucky and hire a good GM by accident.

[WildBobAA]

I'm pretty sure Ford Jr. has an idea of what to do though, hence his anti-Millen comments yesterday. Ford Sr. has no idea though but he should die soon since he's about 155 years old.

[UG]

btw I'm happy for you Bob, you've been a true fan even though they're terrible, I don't even want to imagine how you'll be if/when they're ever a playoff-caliber team

[Lukie]

thank you for shaun rogers, mr. millen.

[bigred]

MATT CASSEL

sounds really, really gay WTF

[Silly String]

congrats

now Carl Peterson!

FYP

[bigred]

RANDY MOSS

nope....wtf

[ensign_lee]

The second I read this, I thought of you, Bob.

CONGRATULATIONS!!!

I know somewhat how you feel - when we finally let most of the coaching staff go after we went 2-14 and when we finally released Carr, I felt about the same way. And that was only for <5 years. Yeeesh, I can't imagine how elated you are now.

1,257th

but, i think we still have the same problem, bob. neither of our team's owners are actually committed to winning. hence, we are still doomed to hope for playoffs, not super bowls. (rams)
