They should create a special ring for them - the Toilet Bowl ring.

29-83 since the league went to a 32 team/8 division format in 2002.

Well, a good draft and a new personnel manager (Pioli) ought to give them a boost in 2009.

If the Detroit Lions were the Congressional Republicans they would rehire the Head Coach and expect a different result.

Bad timing to get the first pick. Colt McCoy is not coming out in the 2009 draft.

And those draft picks from Dallas for Roy Williams. So go Iggles!

They should change their names to the Detroit Chryslers or Detroit K-cars.

Boys and girls, as a Lions’ fan for 40 years, this is enough to alter me.

Wish I could have seen the game ... instead I had to watch the bucs lose their 4th straight - straight out of the playoffs. Sigh. :-(

We don’t need a QB, we need defensive players, especially in the secondary. Although if Knowshon Moreno declares, he’s got to be the Number 1 pick.

Billy Ford must be so proud. First he runs Henry’s company into the ditch, now he turns the paper lions into confetti.

No worries. Detroit can pick up McCoy with the first pick of the draft in 2010.

What a symbolic reflection of the city Detroit, its industry, its people.

Maybe congress can give the team some gratis wins, just to spread the wealth.

Right after giving money to companies which have been losing ground for 35 years.
