Hey Dre Bly, Here’s Your Bus Ticket!
November 30, 2005 on 3:00 pm | In Uncategorized |Dre Bly has stated that he wants to leave the Lions if the situation doesn’t turn around immediately. Matt Millen, if he has any confidence left in his own abilities, must fine and suspend Bly. Millen must also mandate to the team that you are either on the bus or your off the bus–the team needs to root out all of the sources of discontent who get in the way of the team’s admittedly somewhat awkward attempts to redress it’s current state. It was announced today that Dre Bly apologized to his teammates and that Jeff Garcia will be the team’s starting QB Sunday.
I have 3 things to say: 1)An apology from Bly is not a stiff enough punishment 2) If Jauron was going to stay the course and keep Garcia at the helm, why fire Mariucci in the first place? If there is anything more puzzling than this turn of events, Please inform me? 3) The Vikings have to be laughing their asses off. They have had their head coach fined for scalping Super Bowl tix, Traded their best player due to his disruptive presence, The whole “Whizzinator”/Onterrio Smith scandal, Their head coach is nearly fired after a poor start to the season,they lose their franchise QB to a severe knee injury and their infamous “Sex Boat” scandal, yet, they are the organization that is more adept and capable of weathering adversity and now have re-emerged as playoff contenders with veteran QB Brad Johnson at the helm, whom the Lions spurned this offseason for Garcia, while the Lions are left wondering if they should draft another wide receiver with their first draft pick this spring.
I hope that Matt Millen hires a real hard-edged, pernicious S. O. B. to take over as the Lion’s head coach. I want a coach who will make Bill Parcells look like Ram Dass. I want a coach who will make Idi Amin seem like a dictator with divine beneficience, who just happened to be a little misunderstood. The team absolutely needs to broom out anyone who stands in their path of regaining respectability. My patience has reached it’s zenith. I can’t imagine things getting any worse for this organization. I hope that is how the Ford’s and by proxy, Matt Millen, feel about the current situation with their team.

Everything you’ve written in this section is, in my opinion, right on, with the exception of one thing. “….regaining respectability.” You say this as if it is actually attainable - I dare say that gaining any level of NFL respectability (at least with the fans of this city, nay, this fan) won’t occur in my lifetime. All I can say now is….prove me wrong and make me eat my words, Bill Ford.

Question, the Lions need to at least look at an African-American coach. They need a bad-ass, no-nonsense type of a guy. However, any coach like that, that may be available certainly wouldn’t want to take the Lions head coach job. There may be an assistant coach in the NFL that is African-American and tough. One that has been over looked for other head coach jobs…….Singletary!!! He may be looking for a place to get his foot in the door, heck, he may even be succesful! The team itself needs to find a rallying point, a reason to come together and play as a team. As far as Joey Harrrington goes, I hope a team not in the NFC gets him next year because he will be a good quarterback. There are a number of players that when they left the Lions have become better.

Is there any way to impeach an owner? That’s the only way the Lions are going to reach respectability. The Fords are absolutely incompetent. The Lions haven’t won a playoff game since 1957 and things are only getting worse.
