Lions need a house cleaning done now
The Detroit Lions have been the laughing stock of the league for several years now. Matt Millen may be gone, but the team will still be a train wreck with the current front office in place.
Cheif Operating Officer Tom Lewand took over when the Lions fired Millen. However, the Lions are in no safer hands with the blow out loss to the Chicago Bears.
“Rod Marinelli is one of the best people, one of the best coaches I’ve been around, and you hear his message. You guys have heard it very consistently and very clearly over the time he’s been here, and he’s going to continue to do things right,” Lewand said as he was in attendance for head coach Rod Marinelli’s press conference.
The statement is completely laughable, since the Lions is the only pro football team he has ever worked with. He has been with the Lions for 12 years, and before that wored various positions in law firms and the government.
To call a coach one of the best he has been around, with little experience on the football side of the organization is just completely stupid. Does he really think he is fooling someone? Does he think everyone is going to take him at his word, beacause he is the COO of the team?
Of course not. This is the National Football League where lies run rampant every day.
Simply, the statement just goes to show it is time for a complete house cleaning.
