wtf

who's going to draft more WR's in the 1st round now?!?!?!

seriously a good move

write this year off
evaluate the talent you have, get rid of anyone over 28 that's not awesome
stock up on draft choices

start rebuilding

You're starting to sound like Herm, tik...

Make sure to add "get a serviceable QB at some point" in that list of things.

Herm's another guy that I don't understand how he has a job

Lions Owner Claims He Fired Matt Millen Three Years Ago



DETROIT—Lions owner William Clay Ford, Sr. expressed consternation and anger Monday upon realizing that Matt Millen had been acting as president and general manager of the team for the past three years. "I could have sworn I'd fired that lunkhead back in '05 and promoted Mariucci," Ford said when reporters questioned him about Millen leaving the team. "I guess that's why I kept seeing him in the halls. My God, how's the team been doing?" Ford excused himself without further comment on the issue, saying he had to call star running back Barry Sanders and assure him his job with the team was safe regardless of front-office issues.
