DETROIT – Owner William Ford, with the coaxing of his son, Junior, made a long overdue move after week three when he fired wannabe NFL exec, Matt Millen. Millen has packed up and gone but like week-old fish, his stench remains.
That stench comes in the form of Coach Rod Marinelli and the athletes Millen has compiled over his historic record run of failure and there lies the problem.

Chicago at Detroit – As Lions fans continue their raucous celebration of GM Matt Millen’s ouster to the tune of ‘Ding dong, the witch is dead’, could this be the upset of the week?
With Millen gone, Joe Barry, defensive coordinator and son-in-law of Coach Ron Marinelli, may begin to get more attention from lynch-mobbing Lions fans if his defense gives up another quick 21 points at the start of the game. Thing to watch for: Freshly painted “Fire Barry” Signs in the stands and ‘Fire Millen” T-shirts specials outside the stadium for 70% off.

DENVER – Don’t expect Travis Henry to play in the NFL for a very long time and probably never. The former Denver Broncos running back that is notorious for fathering nine children from nine different mothers appeared back in court this week.
But this time it wasn’t to discuss child support. Henry was popped for allegedly participating in a drug deal Tuesday that was set up by the DEA.

ST. LOUIS – Some NFL owners are making a very strong statement this year . . . win now or pack your bags. The first victim of the axe, which was five years overdue, was Detroit Lions GM Matt Millen.
Yesterday, the St. Louis Rams followed suit and fired their third-year coach, Scott Linehan. The Rams are the only team that may be worse than the Lions this year and after starting 0-4, Linehan got the axe.

Arizona at NY Jets – It’s ‘do or die’ time for the Jets who go into this game 1-2. This week will give us a better indication on which Brett Favre the Jets received from Green Bay. Is he the brilliant, bomb-slinging leader from last year who won 13 games or the hit-the-defenders-in-the-numbers moron that faithful Cheese Heads learned to tolerate the two seasons before.

Foxsports.com: “The Edsel. The Pinto. The Millen. After almost eight seasons, Detroit has finally recalled this lemon.”

After this past week, you have to be convinced that professional sports in America are operating with a shortage of brain cells after Dallas Maverick, Josh Howard, made his way back into the national media, going out in public without his common sense.
Detroit Lion GM,Matt Millen, must have been envious of the negative attention given to Howard over the past few days. He crawled out of his hole and came out from hiding to meet with the Detroit media to talk about his 0-2 Detroit Lions and made an ass out of himself.

After being fired by the Detroit Lions at the end of last season, offensive whiz-kid Mike Martz, now with the San Francisco 49ers, repaid the favor, took the Lions to school and spanked GM Matt Millen and his lifeless Lions 31-13.

Detroit at San Fran – Expect Martz to unleash a smorgasbord of big plays and unmercifully run up the score against Lions defensive coordinator, Joe Barry’s group. This week, JT O’Sullivan may suddenly look like a seasoned NFL quarterback. The biggest challenge for Martz will be removing the shit-eating grin on his face every time his offense scores another TD.

IRVING – In the final MNF game at Texas Stadium, the Dallas Cowboys and Philadelphia Eagles match-up set an all-time ratings record.
Fans who watched the game were treated to a smorgasbord of scoring plays, including a 98-yard kickoff return by a rookie, a 72-yard, Romo to T.O. bomb for a score and a fumble recovery in the end zone.
