At least the Clippers can use competition(Lakers)as an excuse for their ineptness. They are the -B- team in L.A.

Once you become a joke to your sport it's hard to find quality help and no other team wants to be embarrassed by losing to you.

The Lions were an elite team until the Ford family took over...and turned it into a laughing stock.

I can only imagine what Barry Sanders would have been able to accomplish had the owners put a competitive team around him.

It's sad and pathetic...and will not change so long as the Ford family owns the team. Frankly they should probably just dissolve the organization...that would be best for the NFL.

As opposed to New York, which has two B teams.
