Rare Praise for Matt Millen
The Detroit Lions are at risk of completing the second worst six-year span since the NFL moved to a 16-game schedule. Assuming that they lose their last three games of the year, they will finish a six-year stretch with a record of 23-73. Wow. In an era or the salary cap and parity, that's pathetic. How has Matt Millen not been fired? He took over a team that was winning 8-9 games a year and occasionally making the playoffs and ran it into the ground in less than one season.
However, instead of begging for him to be fired, I am going to praise him today. You see, after a successful 8-5 regular season in my fantasy football league where I finished in a five-way tie for first place (yes, we have massive parity this year), I was at risk of losing in the first round of the playoffs to the #6-seed. Willie Fucking Parker ran for a huge game on Thursday night, putting me in a 22-point hole. When the average winning score in the league is roughly 65-70 points, I needed a huge day to match that. Thanks to six turnovers from the crappy Detroit Lions offense, I got the big day I needed. Minnesota's defense scored 25 fantasy points for me today and barring a Sunday night miracle from KottenBallz's last two players, my season high 100 points will be enough to advance to the semi-finals! Woo hoo! Thank you so much, Mr. Millen. I am glad you work for an equally incompetent owner, Mr. William Clay Ford.
Matt Millen for president of the world!

Nope, but the #5 seed fell because of Brees.
Devery Henderson was 8 more yards and another TD from making things scary though. I ended up with a sweet 99-78 victory!
This is why Fantasy Football sucks. Mind you, I will continue to participate, but you will NEVER find me congratulating my own team or anyone associated with my team for their incompetence because it inched me closer to a couple hundy. My soul is worth more than that. GO BEARS!
