Last week everyone was ragging on Detroit for keeping Matt Millen around for years after it became obvious he didn't know what he was doing. Now this week everyone is ragging on Oakland for firing Lane Kiffen and making a spectacle of it.
So vote - who's in worse shape? In Detroit you have an owner who knows little about football but may be starting to recognize the fact. In Oakland you have an owner who knows a ton about football but keeps meddling and creating dysfunction.
Detroit has won one playoff game in the 50 years Ford has owned the team. Oakland has won many playoff games, competed in five Super Bowls and won three of them.
Then again, even with how bad they are the Lions have a fancy new stadium that garnered the city a Super Bowl (as hosts, that is), while the Raiders left L.A. for Oakland only to get stuck in the same old dump they opened 40 years ago.
