In one of the more confusing statements to come from a franchise with a history of confusion, Detroit Lions GM Martin Mayhew hasn’t ruled out bringing second-string QB Daunte Culpepper back for another season.

Can we just stop the madness? Every year, we hear some delusional Lions player or coach come out and talk about the fighting spirit of the team and how this is a breakthrough year. The year … to the Super Bowl, winning 10 games, or maybe winning the NFC North. This [...] There are many ways in which we regularly practice irreality in these parts. One is that we pretend that who is Detroit’s mayor can actually fix the massive structural and economic problems of the city. The other is that we have hopes for the Lions. In what’s become an annual rite of denial, Lions running [...] Proving that organizations, like humans, don’t always learn from their mistakes, the Detroit Lions selected University of Georgia Quarterback Matt Stafford with the first pick in Saturday’s NFL draft.

And even [...] He’s out of town but he is not yet off of our televisions. Former Lions General Mangler Matt Millen, hired as an “expert” analyst of professional football by perennial ratings wallflower NBC a few weeks ago after architecting the league’s worst-ever team, has not managed to move that network’s ratings to fourth place, yet.

Matt and Lions-coach-of-the-moment start off training camp with cliches such as “This is a great bunch of guys” and “We’re going to work harder” and then, once the season starts, we are all returned to reality. This year is a bit different. The Lions [...] The Detroit Free Press has a slideshow today of Matt Millen’s biggest draft busts. While it could be a list of 20 instead of just 10, I don’t find much to disagree with. |
