They needed to get rid of MILLEN, not Mooch. One of the biggest reasons Barry Sanders left the Lions was because of lack of committment from the front office. One of the best running backs to play the game never got a ring and never had a chance. I think Mooch could have been successful if Millen had left and the Fords sold the team to someone else. They obviously don't care. If I owned a sports team, I wouldn't tolerate a bullsh*t record like this, year after year. Another point. How many players who SUCKED playing for the Lions are now having successful carreers with other teams? How many quarterbacks have the Lions ruined because of lack of good coaching. Hope Ditka is still interested in Mooch's job. He's the only person I can think of with the nads enough to turn this team around. ShannyB

It's only a matter of time before Fish makes that announcement. Firstly, what team wants to take the chance of one of their players "carking it" in front of the fans? I was at the Lions game when Reggie Brown got hurt and it was one of the most sickening feelings I've ever had. Who will insure the guy with a known heart problem? And is it worth it? Not to mention the emotional toll it's taken on the rest of the Wings team. Sure, the fans can kind of push it off to the side but, don't you think Fish's team mates think about it all the time? They may be pros but, they're human, too. I feel for him. He brought tears to MY eyes when he broke down. Part of that is the emotion of what he had been through but, also, someone who has had a heart attack can be very emotional afterward. Something to do with hormones that the body releases after such an event. I wish him the best. ShannyB
