Now if Bill Parcells reallly wants another challenge now that he's turned Miami around in short order..................
On second thought, his heart probable couldn't take the stress. Why the heck was Matt Millen kept around for soooooo long? Who calls the player shots? Ford or the "football" guys? Man, the Lions might struggle against a college All-star team. Who's old enough to remember the old college All-star game? I'll say this... the team seems to represent the national image of Detroit well. Busted, broken-down, good fer nuthin' Least that's my impresion of the city and team. |

You guys have it all wrong. The Lions did what nobody else has ever done -- had a perfect season! Nobody has ever lost every game in a single season before. This team just made the record books - probably for all time unless they repeat next year.

Quote:
Speaking of whom: John McKay was known for his colourful quotes These are our top 10 1 - In response to a question about his team's execution - "I'm all in favour of it." 2 - On an interception thrown by Steve DeBerg in 1984 that cost the Bucs a game against the Giants - "It was thrown to nobody. Well, it was thrown to somebody, Harry Carson. But he happened to be playing for the New York Giants at the time. It would have been a good pass if Harry had been playing for us." 3 - After a particularly heavy loss - "The bus leaves in an hour - anyone who needs a shower, take one." 4 - On losing a key game - "I told our players that there were 700 million Chinese people in the world who didn't even know the game was played. The next week, I got five letters from China asking "What happened?" 5 - After the Bucs broke their 26-game losing streak - "Three or four plane crashes and we're in the playoffs." 6 - On recruiting his son John to play for USC and then the Bucs - "I had an advantage - I slept with his mother." 7 - On the prospect of a late-season trip to Green Bay - "Going there is like winning the 98th prize in a beauty contest with only 97 prizes." 8 - On hearing how Buc kicker Pete Rajecki was nervous about McKay watching him in the 1976 pre-season - "That's unfortuntate as I plan on attending all the games." 9 - At a post-game press conference in 1976 "You guys don't know the difference between a football and a bunch of bananas." 10 - The following week after a media member has dropped off a case of bananas at his door - "You guys don't know the difference between a football and a Mercedez-Benz." |

Detroit has never been able to assemble a decent team. It almost seems like they don't want to.
They had their best chance with Barry Sanders. All they had to do was surround him with a decent team. Didn't even have to be a great team, just decent.

Maybe they are trying to imitate Charley Finley. When he owned the A's in Kansas City, every good player he had ended up going to the Yankees. Then he moved to Oakland and surprise, they had a GM actually draft a TON of great ballplayers and became world champs.

They are the first to go 0-16, but not the first to have no wins for the year. I do not recall the team who did it last (it was in today's paper) but they went 0-14 for the season.
