- rpieszak, on 12/27/2008, -3/+392003 #1 draft pick = WR
2004 #1 draft pick = WR
2005 #1 draft pick = WR
2007 #1 draft pick = WR
I'm shocked their going 0-16. - sjbdallas, on 12/27/2008, -2/+26Because Detroit can't make anything worth a damn..
- vsujohn2, on 12/27/2008, -0/+16How about a QB that can actually throw to those WRs? Hell Calvin Johnson personally saved Reggie Ball from being even more horrible than he was at GT. If you had a QB that could throw the ball halfway decent CJ will catch it. I feel bad for him to be on this team. He should come back to Atlanta....
- rpieszak, on 12/27/2008, -1/+16The Lions are a very poorly run organization. It's nice to see ownership/management incompetence finally getting what it deserves.
- JustyUeki, on 12/27/2008, -4/+18Well, at least they'll have a perfect season . . .
- Jazzzzz, on 12/27/2008, -1/+1540 years with Ford as the owner with Matt Millan the GM for the last 8 years is how.
- tinybubs, on 12/27/2008, -0/+13The way the Packers have been throwing away games this year the Lions are really going to have to try to lose their last one.
- HeDiggMe, on 12/27/2008, -0/+12Dugg for a sports article in Time
- hamlet9000, on 12/27/2008, -0/+12This one is easy: The NFL is a league of equal opportunity. More than any other professional sports league in the world, the NFL has leveled the playing field. Some teams take that opportunity and build greatness. Others take that opportunity and squander it.
The article can claim that's a "league of mediocrity", but there's been nothing mediocre about the New England Patriots or Indianapolis Colts over the past decade. - dagamer34, on 12/27/2008, -0/+12I say BAILOUT THE DETROIT LIONS!!!
- Stuffburger, on 12/27/2008, -2/+13In a perfectly balanced league, the odds are .5^16, or approximately 1 in 65,000. Once you take into account they weren't that good of a team anyways (say a 70% chance of losing, which takes the odds up to a much more probable 1 in 300) and that once you start losing it's much harder to bounce back due to morale problems (say deduct 1% per loss, so .70*.71*.72*.73*.74*.75*.76*.77*.78*.79*.80*.81*.82*.83*.84*.85 for a 1 in 61 chance of going the season winless) it stops seeming like a colossal ***** and more like something that will probably happen every 50 years or so.
- billyogawa, on 12/27/2008, -0/+10Except baseball, basketball, and hockey.
- vsujohn2, on 12/27/2008, -0/+9Because they suck
- Feep, on 12/27/2008, -2/+11The same way the Patriots won sixteen straight? The league isn't so perfectly matched that this isn't possible, writers. Deal with it.
- Sp0rAdiC, on 12/27/2008, -1/+9Yeah math is for losers. Go sports!
- solistus, on 12/27/2008, -1/+9Yeah, there's clearly no math in a game where every meaningful play-by-play call includes a string of numbers and the final result is determined by a score tally.
- hokie47, on 12/27/2008, -4/+12***** Darfur, how about we send some aid to one of our own cites like Detroit.
- Cyrus042, on 12/27/2008, -0/+8Tell that to the Titans.
- NJank, on 12/27/2008, -0/+7the same as NE's perfect regular season last year. you have a team trending heavily to one side or the other, and sometimes things just repeatedly go your way. or they don't. that's just luck of the draw. Detroit's no worse than a number of other teams that have only had 1-3 wins all season. One of their games was 10-12, another 23-27, another 20-16. Sure, they obviously are a worse team, but them not getting any win is as much bad luck as New England getting all wins involved its fair share of good fortune.
- rpieszak, on 12/27/2008, -0/+7Sorry, was typing too fast, .... THEY'RE...
(thanks sUGArDawg) - kalii, on 12/27/2008, -0/+6At least they assured themselves of another #1 draft pick maybe they will get another WR /sarcasm.
- J16T3CH, on 12/27/2008, -1/+7Yeah, people who actually apply math to real situations are total idiots. Who cares what the odds are of a perfect hand in cribbage, or of a black jack dealer hitting 21 with an ace up?
/s
It's real world, not TV. - badfrog, on 12/28/2008, -0/+6Yes, I'm predicting they'll allow yet another team to get the winning score with less than 2 minutes left.
Such a frustrating season it's been. - axisnate02, on 12/27/2008, -0/+5or the Chargers, we seem to win much more often with our powder blues.
- DickyT83, on 12/27/2008, -0/+5Calvin is easily the best receiver in the league. 1100+ yards and 10 TD's on that team is far superior than some of these other teams with sick WR duo's (cards for instance).
- Tzen, on 12/27/2008, -1/+5By scoring less points than the team they are playing?
- obliviousfool, on 12/28/2008, -0/+4Heck, they had a chance to draft any number of QBs this year and completely failed.
- HookmasterCH47, on 12/27/2008, -1/+5By sucking balls.
- cynic573, on 12/27/2008, -0/+4Ask the UW Huskies.
- ncraig, on 12/27/2008, -0/+4I'd rather have Adrian Peterson. But that's just me.
- pushforpeace, on 12/27/2008, -0/+4Because they're the Lions.
- boardthis, on 12/27/2008, -3/+7change the jersey color. powder blue is not intimidating.
- KayIslandDrunk, on 12/28/2008, -0/+3Which would work perfectly if Kitna was the starting QB for the Lions.
- xOKxWhy, on 12/27/2008, -1/+4Well, Calvin Johnson was worth it.
- kenyan, on 12/27/2008, -0/+3Once Calvin comes into his own (with a decent QB), he will be one of the best.
- shadeOfGrey, on 12/27/2008, -1/+4If only the government could bail out the lions by giving them some wins. Then we could give the management some awesome bonuses.
- J16T3CH, on 12/27/2008, -0/+3Detroit fans need a new owner. Whoever let Matt Millen waste all those high first round picks over the last 6 years does not deserve a team (perhaps William Ford Sr., though to be fair, it was his son Jr. that left Millen at the helm of the Zeppelin for so long). With an owner like him, its no wonder they can't beat out ANY competition, even in a fair league where EVERY PLAYER is in the same union with the same rules. The Detroit Lions and the Ford Motor Company are the perfect examples of a teams that suck from the top down. Period.
- flyingclutchman, on 12/29/2008, -0/+2The pats and the colts also have the 2 best quarterbacks of the decade
- NnyCW, on 12/28/2008, -1/+3As a Packer fan, one of the only teams in the NFL on a worst streak of losses is the Lions...
- korvan504521, on 12/29/2008, -0/+2my cougars even beat them this year.
Thats pretty bad. - jstem1994, on 12/28/2008, -0/+2The Bengals even won one or two, and even got a tie!
- teethandeyes, on 12/29/2008, -0/+2Not true. You are ignorant.
What about ***** awesome Music?
Parliament & Funkadelic, the Stooges, Motown, the White Stripes, electronic Music, etc. - inactive, on 12/29/2008, -0/+2Someone doesn't understand sarcasm it looks like. I would say something about your dumb ***** remark but after looking at your other comments and realizing you have serious mental problems, I just feel sorry for you.
- teethandeyes, on 12/29/2008, -0/+2Ok, you are dumb.
On the Sports tip, the Pistons and Red Wings are very good.
Also, what about ***** awesome Music?
Parliament & Funkadelic, the Stooges, Motown, the White Stripes, electronic Music, etc. - sofunnyithurts, on 12/29/2008, -0/+2the White Stripes make music?
- Ultra200, on 12/27/2008, -0/+2Real Men Don't Wear Purple!!!!
- coolmuffin121, on 12/29/2008, -0/+2GO PACKERS!
- mrfuzzy129, on 12/29/2008, -0/+2Red Wings won the cup
- Eugenitor, on 12/29/2008, -0/+2Detroit fans do need a new owner, but we phased that out in 1865...
