Millen (Gasp!) Speaks…And It’s as Moronic as You Would Expect It to Be!
September 18, 2008 on 5:03 pm | In Uncategorized |MLive.com’s Tom “Killer” Kowalski was able to gain a few brief, elucidating comments from Matt Millen today, which is a must read.
Millen’s takes full responsibility for the team’s poor start, which is fine. He says he still believes in the coaches, players, and the schemes. He basically says that, in order to for the team to achieve better outcomes, the players need to “do what their coached to do” and “play to their capabilities” and “we will be fine.”
Millen also says that he hasn’t thought about how the Lions fan’s feel about the team’s 0-2 start, which was made clear yesterday with the team’s decision to work out several running backs, when it is so blatantly obvious that the running back position is the least of their current worries.
One thing I would like to ask Millen, given Sunday’s poor performance by Jon “Pickna”, is why he hasn’t looked at any of the available veteran QB’s–like Daunte Culpepper, to name one– as a potential roster addition. It is fully clear, at least to me, that Kitna will not complete the season as the team’s starting QB. With that in mind, I have got to wonder, what damage will be done to whatever future potential Drew Stanton may have, if he is thrown to the wolves after the bye week? How will the rest of the offense respond to the organization tossing in the towel, as it were ?
This is likely the last we will here from Matt Millen, as the season continues towards futility. This is the most clarification we can expect, in regard to the franchise’s failings, but it says a lot more than Matt Millen probably even realizes, in my opinion. If you’d like to enjoy a good laugh, and a little levity, at Millen’s expense, Big Al at The Wayne Fontes Experience whacks away at his very own, designated “Porn-Stached Goon”. Dear Lord, maybe it’s really true, only the “Big Buck in the woods” can help us now?

Unfreaking real. This guy has no clue or concept. They now have a “foundation?” Where is this “foundation?” It certainly isn’t in the offensive line. It certainly isn’t in the quarterback situation (although I’m willing to give the Spartan a try). It certainly isn’t in the backfield (Maybe–I’m hoping for Smith). It sure as hell is not in the defensive line. In the defensnive backfield? Where is this freaking foundation?
Oh, wait, he is talking about discipline and work ethic. Is that right? Good for them. Great job. That makes me smile approvingly. Of course there is no real talent which will allow that hard work to pay off.
I would like Mr. Millen to give us some specifics. How is the O-line going to improve? How do you intend on developing a pass rush? What is your long term solution at quarterback? Will Kitna start throwing to HIS OWN receivers?
Damn it all to the Devil’s Domain.

Only this guy, in what has been called a “performance business”, would talk about the foundation that they are building, smack dab in the middle of his 31-83 tenure.
The truth is, Marinelli is 1-9 in his last 10 games. There is no FREEKIN “FOUNDATION, the whole clusterf@ck is an unmitigated disaster.
This whole character, discipline and work ethic thing is a sham. It is meant as appeal of sorts, to buy the organization some time, sapping the midwestern protestant sentiment that if you work hard and keep your mouth shut, good things will happen.
Which to anybody who has a real understanding of how life actually works, realizes is complete and utter bullshit. It really is about being able to look at yourself in the mirror, unremittingly. Something I am sure that Millen can’t do…

Smiles and happy times ahead! The Lions future looks about as bleak as West Branch’s bid for the 2020 Olympic games.
