Millen gets the sack

As any of my friends know, I actually liked Matt Millen (Detroit Lions' former GM and prez), but I can't say I was surprised that he got canned today-not after what Ford Jr said Monday, anyhow. The problem I have is, if he was going to be fired, why now? In doing so the organization pretty much declares that this year is over with. That there is no reason for the team to even take the field. And seeing as how this years team is made up of nothing but Millen's draft picks and trade acquisions do we really expect any of them to play hard for the rest of the year after seeing the guy who hired them get uncermoniously fired? It's not as if they were playing hard anyways-at least that is how it looked to me, but now, Lions fans will be privy to watching 53 guys, all of whom making millions of $$$'s a year, basically slacking their way through the remainder of the year. If the team weren't a joke before this event, just wait until we get through half the year. By weeks 9 and 10 this organization will officially be the worst in ALL of pro sports-at any level. The sad thing here is that firing Millen really won't accomplish anything. The real problem with this team is it's owner. You have to look no farther than the auto company the Ford family runs to see how good of business men that Ford Sr and Jr are. What really must happen for the Lions to ever be a good team is for the Fords to sell them to someone who actually cares to bring a winning product to the city of Detroit. So for all of you morons who actually got what you wanted-Millen being fired-I ask this: What are you going to say 2-5 seasons from now when the Lions are still the worst team in the NFL?
