Rooting for 0-16

As a Dolphins fan, I was very happy when they won one game last year. Nobody wants to go winless and leave a horrible legacy behind. That kind of stink will linger around a franchise for a long time. But I think it�s necessary for the Lions to go winless. This kind of embarrassment may be the only way to usher in the necessary changes.

The owner, William Clay Ford Sr., wants to win. He has spent money to do it. But he is so absolutely clueless on how to run a football team that it�s simply mind-boggling. He�s loyal to an incredible fault. Even the bimbo at the end of the bar knew Matt Millen should have been fired long ago. The entire organization is so full of losers that everything needs to be changed. Since we can�t fire the owner, the best we can hope for is that he steps down and he gives control to his son Bill Ford Jr. His son was so frustrated that he finally spoke out against Millen, which ultimately got Millen fired.

At least the fans have finally woken up and have stopped coming to games. For the first time in Ford Field history, games were blacked out. Voicing displeasure by calling the local sports radio stations had done nothing. Maybe hurting Ford Sr.�s pocket book a little more will do the trick.

From lousy draft picks to lousy contracts to lousy coaching, this organization needs to change in every way possible and it all starts at the top. I can only hope an 0-16 year will bring that kind of change. But knowing how Ford Sr. operates, it might not make a difference.

Not sure how or when, but the Lions will get a win this year.

same could be said here in cincinnati,there are just as bad,they will probably go 1-15 maybe 2-14 but no change will take place until there current owner Mike Brown is no longer the owner, we have been thru this in the 90's ,now after one winning season in "05 its back to the same ole same ole .0-16 may help lions make some changes,but in cincinnati as long as Mike Brown is making money 0-16 I dont believe would phase him...its business as usual....sad very sad....
