Well the detroit fans walked out on the third quarter because they realy wanted the bowl this year, The realy needed a pick me up with all that is going wrong in the city.
It is true the super bowl is comming to town, that is great for a few business people, but in the skeem of things the economical benifits wont help the avarage Joe on the streat. So for the rest of us it will be just another superbowl sunday. we will celibrate just the same as every year. but we wont be selling out at our taverns and sports bars for fifty miles in every direction.
this problem has been going on since 1954, excluding 54 because that was the last good year the lions has had. and that was before color tv... well at least in my house LOL...
Detroit lions has suffered for the rich man "show boating multi million dollar contractees who had only them selves in mind during every game"
Ya I can remember the mentality of sanders during his time on the team, he said and I quote "we would win more games if they would just put the ball in my hands" that was when I lost all intrest in him. he was not a team player. and truthfuly the lions did put the ball in his hands and he pick up all that yardage to get himself in the hall of fame but the truth is he always fell short of the goal. "Litteraly"
They fired Allen Trammal from the detroit tigers this year as well for the exact same reason. and that is to bad too cause I realy liked Allen Trammal as well.
to state the obvious, evey other team on the leage knows this and has been taking atvantage of the situation... to be honest if I were the other team I would too...
here it is...
harington is looking to see who is going to let the defence though so much he is holding on to the ball way to long causing his sacks because lets face it he is afraid to run with the ball,
cause lets face it, the offence blockers are lame, their hearts are not in the game or at least not trying to protect a team mate.
the receivers are running down the feild not looking back there for not makeing an opening for a posible play.
harington and the receivers are playing from different play books because it is obvoius that the oposing teams know more about the lions plays that the lions. Eather harinton is color blind and is spending way to much time trying to read the numbers on the jerseys or he has no short term memory and cant remember the plays he has just called. I say this because I have watched way to many games where the receiver was wide open standing still and harington thows the ball to the oposing team...
Worst of all is harinton is a readable as a "dick and jane reader" this will be understood by those of us old enough to remember our first readers in the first grade..LOL What I mean by this is his face expressions tells the defending team what he is going to do. and that deer caught in the head lights expression is just what it is... you can see the fear in his face.. and that is because the quarter back the line backers and the receivers are not playing as a team... and this spells "ANOTHER LIONS LOSS"
the owners cant see this from season to season so they never will get it right... cause thay wont give the head coach the full athority to bench those million dollar premadonas or demote them down to the highest paid backup players in the lueage.
these palyers are under contract so thay get paid weather or not the play on the feild, they dont care. but if placed back on the bench as a back up and cant pull their weight come the end of the contract they can be dropped off the roster. there for ending their football correers. "Ya coaches have to play hard ball with the attitude that you play for me or you play for nobody and you are only a team player when you are working for me because I am as much as part of the team as the quarter back receiver line backer and water boy"
I am not fealing sorry for moochie, he just got paid a 2 1/2 year vacation. in other words fords (the owner) is going to pay moochie his full contract agreement of 11 million dollars 10 of wich is still owed over the next two years.
lets face it, he will never have to work again if he dosnt want to... It is just the injustice that moochie has to take the blaim for the owners short commings and thier haveing to save face.
I am not impressed with the owners actions, and this just tells me that nothing is going to change for the lions... its just the "same O same O" firing moochie dosnt make me want to go out and buy a ticket for this sundays game... if they dont get a sell out and cant braudcast the game on tv, then I guess I will be watching a better game...LOL
O Ya by the way I am not a lions fan...LOL I gave up on them a few years ago for Tennessee. True the titans are looking bleek this year, but heay, they were playing pretty good the past few years so good teams deserve an off season once in a while.
as for the players interveiws, not a one of them said "we failed Moochie and our fans" for it is admitting failure only can we move ahead in life as a team as individuals. The premadona mentality is still there... Fireing Moochie did nothing but insult the intelegence of the lions fans. Just calling it like I see it... (howard cocell)
I agree the real loosers here is the Lions fans.
the only other team having a worst time of it than the lions is new orleans, they dont even have a home to play in or a fan to come and see them...
