BFinSF -- the Raiders/Rams have company

ALLEN PARK, Mich. (AP) — Maybe things can get worse for the Detroit Lions.

A day after Detroit lost to the San Francisco 49ers, its third consecutive defeat to start the NFL season, Lions vice chairman Bill Ford essentially said he'd fire team president Matt Millen if he had the authority.

"I think the fans deserve better and if it were in my authority, which it's not, I'd make some significant changes," Ford said on Monday.

Asked by a reporter if he believed Millen should leave the team, Ford said, "Yes, I do."

I was going to post this myself..."Sun" will now start a campaign to get the elder Mr. Ford to retire.

I think that there should be a wager on who haws the worst team in the NFL. I thought that the Rams had it locked up, but no since the Lions like to spot the other teams 21 before they start to play the odds have changed. Old Man Ford will not retire, that has been our bane here in Detroit. He likes Millen and may not get rid of him even after this cluster. F__K

I have been leading that campaign for as long as I can remember. Ford does not care as long as he gets a return on his investment and the profit sharing in the NFL means he always will. Of course I would be more vehement about this if Jr. was not such a fucking git.

Fuck Sr. and fuck Millen.

Too true.



People wonder why I have a hard time liking football this year.
Rams + Lions + Wolverines + Golden Eagles = Apathy.

Although I cannot honestly decree the Bengals as worse than the Rams or Lions, they should not be removed from the conversation, either.

Bengals 23
Giants 26 (OT)

Rams 13
Giants 41


I believe the only team the Lions and Bengals have in common are the Titans, but I assure you the game will not be close. The Titans may very well score 21 pts in the first quarter.


At any rate, no doubt the Bengals are bad, but this level is suck takes a special touch.

I cannot believe he's kept the job for 7 years. He's been under fire almost constantly from the first day he was hired.

Kind of sounds like George W Bush.

Yes, but you don't need to impeach a GM to get rid of him.

[Bleacher Creature]

Yes, but you don't need to impeach a GM to get rid of him.

I didn't know that, thanks.

This is big news for the lonely Lions fan. But Who will they replace him with?
