From what I understand, he wants the Lions to start out with a 30 point lead to make games more competitive.

What happens when he's fired around Thanksgiving?

In all honesty, putting a former LB on the competition committee is something I am all for.

Just because you can execute on the field doesn't mean you can execute from behind a desk.

As much of an idiot as Millen is and in no way shape or form should he be running a multi-million dollar sports franchise, his "common sense" meathead approach to the game might actually be great on the competition committee.

It would be like what Bill Simmons always talks about, how every team should have a Joe Blow fan who acts as the Chairman of Common Sense and is consulted on all decisions.

I think Millen might work well in this capacity on the Comp. Committee.

Y'know.... you might actually be right (although, I'd replace "common sense" with "simplistic"). I Didn't even think of that. If Millen was on the CC instead of Polian at the time, would we have the 'Ty Law rule emphasis'? I dunno. But, if Millen is a 'just let them play' type of guy, then yeah, I'd be all for that.

Plus, another added bonus I didn't think of... having to have the rest of the committee take the time to explain the new rule proposals and such to Mr. Millen, may actually slow down the influx of new rules.

(I still can't believe he hasn't been fired yet, though)

What i meant is I'm fairly certain Matt Millen will not be advocating 100% pro offense changes you always get from the Polian, Holmgren, Martz crew.
