Seriously, this is the most glorious day of Lions football in seven years. But really, I find myself wondering if I am happy or sad. I mean, the Lions will never be a good team... ever, we are just a cursed franchise, so whats going to fun watching us improve to 8-8?

I mean what was more fun than the Millen Man March?

Supersonics fans chanting fire Millen at Pistons games in Seattle?

Drafting wide receivers in every first round?

Taking the wind?

The Orange out?

Political cartoons in Wall Street Journal that say Fire Millen in the background?

The Lions funeral, burying all your Lions gear?

I mean seriously, some great memories these last 7 years. Can you imagine what this city would do if we actually went to a superbowl, this is a city starving for good football. I still say to this day we have the best fans in the NFL. We sell out every game, no questions asked, and we're the worst team in the NFL year after year, this city loves its football team, and we're pathetic. What fans anywhere else would do things like the Millen Man March?

Let's hope we become resepectable in the next few years at least.

Great post-mortem :bowdown:

I can finally wear my Chris Spielman or Billy Sims jerseys to BW3 in Muskegon or Grand Rapids without looking like a moron.

I didn't think this day would ever come. I think I'm gonna cry.

*sheds a tear*

Back to the face of the planet, we still suck big time, we need to make some movies now, we've waited way too long.

Never again will you see Lions fans come together like they did to try to get rid of Millen. These fans deserve to get someone who will put a consistent, productive squad out on the field. For 7 years they have been selling out the stadium (I really don't know why) and for 7 years Millen couldn't seem to get one thing right. And to think he lasted this long, that's unprecedented.

:beer:

Here's to a better future. :beer:

I honestly suprised that this actually happened. I was honestly starting to wonder what would have to happen to get Millen fired. Now just 22 more things to do, and this can't start fixing itself.

Well, this hopefully stops the bleeding.

Not that there was much blood left in this team....

Hopefully they'll head in the other direction now.

Well, you'd *think* anybody is better than Millen, but I wouldn't be shocked if the Fords put that to the test lol But hey, it's a start.

Looks like Marineli (sp?) now has a long 13 games as a lame duck coach ahead of him. We could either rally together (and by that I mean win like...4 games) or completely fold and challenge the Bucs for worst team of all time.

I really don't think I'd be mad if we go 0-16 this year... just putting a stamp on Millen's tenure here, adding to his legacy.

Millen couldn't have been a dumber choice from the gitgo.

At least he proved that......

So the painfully obvious step has now been taken. What's next?

Jon Kitna will probably need at least 2 wins in the next 3 games, or he'll be done. That wouldn't be so bad.

The team needs to take its time on picking a replacement for Millen. Rod should get the rest of the season, but I can't really imagine a scenario where he is retained. I'm guessing whoever this team hires will want to really clean house.

Hopefully Kitna or whoever will start to realize that Roy Williams and Calvin Johnson are on this team. Its pathetic that Roy only has 8 catches after 3 games.

This move was at least 4 years late, more like 6. But thank god its over. Thanks for the fun Matty, hating one man was never so easy and yet so enjoyable

As to the team, we need an overhaul. like purge 90% of them. We, sadly enough, have very few keeper players, but we need to kick out the **** ones.

We finally know how he lasted so long, and after Millen's firing (his second one) I predict 2,000 yards rushing for Barry.

Dubious.
