Christmas came early for the fans of the Detroit lions with the firing of the most hated man in the city....Matt Millen. I think it should have been done sooner. ya think. Matt was a great player but a lousy GM, I mean just look at some of the people he's drafted for the team (Joey Harrington, Mike Williams,Charles Rogers) I think Roy Williams and Calvin Johnson are OK. He took a team that was ok when he got there and totally made them into the Tampa Bay Bucs of the 70's. Millen is 31-84 since his hire and the lions have lost 9 or more Gms each season he's been in charge. He must be real tight with the owner because if were here in D.C he wouldn't had time to unpack his bags (see Marty Shottemhimer, Steve Spirier). I mean not only did he mess alot of these decisions up but he stood by them (Joey Harrington Experiment). Any idiot know you dont keep taking wide out after wide out he even missed out on the chance to draft Merriman or D.Ware for a wide out. he wanted the lions to resemble the Rams with that greatest show on turf crap and it failed miserably because you had a bum QB and Kevin Jones was no Marshall faulk. He did nothing to improve the defense.....well he did draft the Sims kid but it was to late by that time. he lost more players in free agency than he gained nobody wanted to work with/for Millen even some execs were talking behind his back. He ticked the fans off something terrible too. One couple stated that Millen's firing was the happiest day of their lives.............WOW. Now how do the lions get better only time will tell because it going to take alot of time to clean up the mess Millen has made. Hey, Now that he has some free time maybe he can visit the mayor..................................................... He's doing time !
