Default Lions to keep Matt Millen despite continuous losing

It's amazing to me how Jim Mora and Dennis Green were fired, and yet this douchebag still gets to keep his job. He has had 6 losing seasons, and is signed on for 4 more years. The Lions are a complete joke.

Yeah some things just are truly amazing. Glad I'm not a fan of that organization but I do feel for the fans.

It boggles the mind. The Ford family must really not care. Lions fans just have to get more militant in order for things to change.

Millen's Lions have finished DEAD LAST in their division in 4 of his 6 years as an executive. His picks have been horrible.

Millen must have some compromising photos of Bill Ford hidden somewhere...

Well said ... you could have typed 20 paragraphs on that emotion ... but why bother ... Detriot likes picking in the top 10 of the draft and that's all that matters.

Amazing how people still attend their games. Season ticket holders need to drop their tix and people need to stop going to the games.

How many people can honestly say they'll be suprised if Detroit picks Calvin Johnson this year?

Absolutely...and they'll trade up too just in case.
