Don't we usually do an appreciation thread when someone of substance leaves Detroit?


***crickets***

I would like to thank Motown for starting the "What will last longer?" thread, which was clearly the last straw for Billy Clay Ford Sr.

Good job Minnesota.

Minnesota +25 MoTowns

Thanks for Calvin Johnson and Ernie Simms.


This concludes the list of things to appreciate him for.

I remember when he called out Bill Schroeder by saying there's a "devout coward" on this team...

Also when he called Johnnie Morton a faggott.


Stay classy Matthew...

I remember when the Lions just mostly sucked (especially every other year) and saying you were a Lions fan just meant people made fun of you. In the Millen era saying you were a Lions fan made people automatically feel sympathy for you.

In the spirit of appreciation threads all over the world, I must refrain from commenting further in this thread.

I wonder if he'll even get an analyst job again. His credibility has been destroyed so much that he might have to go into hiding for years.

I don't know Motown. With the crap salary he'd been getting from the Fords over the years he might have to go back to work immediately.

It's ok, I already covered everything in my post.

Thanx for the great coaches that have came to detroit and prospered so well. Only thank you I can give is maybe Roy Williams, but that will probably end as he will find a better team next year. Just a matter of time before Calvin Johnson pulls a chuck rogers.

Stan Kwan needs to go next...

Hows the weather in Michigan right now? Out here its been really nice, mid 70s. Crazy cool for this time of year.

Go Pistons!

It's actually been incredible here as well and is supposed to be so all week.

Go weather!

Question for the mods: How many consecutive off-topic posts does it take for the thread to be considered 'officially derailed'?

And maybe even sent to the stands...

No set number. However I'm shocked this thread could even make two pages. Has anybody even read the title?

I see what you did there ^ Attempting to get back on topic.

All I want to hear from you Chris, is how the weather is in the Denver area.

80 and sunny. Has been for weeks. Nice breeze coming in from the mountains too. What about you?

I appreciate Matt Millen because:

...He united us all against him? I got nothing.

If you throw the last little bit of a lit cigar it creates minature fireworks.

I appreciate that he took $50 million off of the Fords.

I'm sure they couldn't have used that money for any other reason.

Please rename topic sub-heading "Fire Millen" to "Hire Bukdow"

The problem with firing Millen is that the Lions are no longer hilarious. They're just sad.

Thanks for 7 years of hilarity, Millen.

Perhaps Michigan will hire him as AD.

I still hope he dies.
