0-16... they CAN get it done
The Detroit Lions managed to do what no team in NFL history managed to do... finish 0-16. You can't say the team didn't know how to finish the season. If they won a game the Lions would've ruined a perfect season. Don't get me wrong, I feel for every member of the team that went out on Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday and Sunday and worked their butt's off to be worthy of being in the NFL as a success. They didn't make it, but they tried their best I'm sure. For those who have been mailing it in and collecting a check from the inept Ford family, need to be kicked out of the league. I'm not too mad about it since there is no way to establish who didn't play their hearts out by asking them... you'd have to do the painful act of watching every game and every play. I didn't do that so I can't come down on them too hard but eventhough this is the NFL, you need discipline and composure so you don't give away 25 points in the last 8 minutes of game when all you have to do is finish. You could argue the Lions haven't finished a season strong since Barry Sanders was playing. Easy argument to win if you look at the win loss total since Sanders retired due to the Lion's organization sucking the fun out of the game for him. This team doesn't want to win and the organization isn't trying to make a winner. Can't argue that either. Ask the coach of the East-West Shrine game about what he thinks about the Lion organization... that was just before Millen took over. I have to cut this short but I've more to say about my team but time is short. More later

ITA. They suck and will continue to suck until Ford Sr. croaks and is no longer running the show. He does not care about winning. He just cares about turning a profit. But the problem is if you have a losing team, no one is going to pay to see them resulting in no profit ;)
Hey, Carleton! Glad to see you are still drawing. I know too many former classmates who just gave it up.
