More drama in Detroit


First fans auctioning themselves off on eBay, now this. Have the Lions hit rock bottom yet?

An embarrassing football season hit a new low for the Lions Sunday when a security guard tackled a fan carrying a sign demanding the team fire its president, Matt Millen.

"There were actually two or three signs going around. I saw them come over and tell us to put the signs down and all of a sudden, it started getting passed around and it made its way to me," he recalled Monday. "I told my roommate, ‘I’m going to take it through our section and hand it off.’ When I went through our section, everyone stood up and started cheering," deBruin recalled.

He went on to tell the rest of his story: "Next thing, I make it to the next section and everyone is cheering then I figured what’s it going to hurt? I’m not disrupting the game. I’m not throwing anything on the field. I’m not endangering anyone – which they said was the main reason. Everyone stood up and let me go through. Everyone was high-fiving me and cheering me. I figured I would make it around the stadium and go back to my seat and sit down, but next thing I know, I was tackled from behind."


Maybe the Lions should put some of those security guards on defense...they sure could have used them in the Thanksgiving Day game.

Millen's an idiot. I don't know how Mariucci (another moron) gets axed and Millen gets to keep his job. The Lions were actually doing well until Millen came on the scene. Oh well, that's Detroit for you.

Finally, the Lions gave us something to cheer about. Something we can all get behind. :-)

The lions are the Hartford Whalers of the NFL, without the catchy celebratory jingle...

...What? Detroit has a professional sports team that doesn't play hockey? I don't get it.
