A lot of Lions fans really wanted to believe that a corner was about to be turned by this organization, even as they looked over their should waiting for the other shoe to drop. The Lions fatalist in me says when will I ever learn. Still, I know that next season with a couple of off season moves, a coaching change or two, I will force myself to see the glass half full again. Which implicates us as all being at least partially responsible, since the Ford's realize that we are marks and suckers and that we allow ourselves to be blinded from reality.

Kalimba might as well go haunt a lighthouse somewhere on Lake Superior. Big Baby was one of my favorites, but I guess he doesn't feel like playing football. I'd as soon he sat on the sidelines eating Monster Thick Burgers than play. It's lost. The Lions are not ever going to improve. Useless. Absolutely useless. How can a franchise be so awful? Why did they bother giving hope? The Lions had better thank their lucky stars that they aren't playing the 2006 Lions this year. They would get slaughtered. The Ghost analogy is dead on.
