About damn time.

[CoMoChief]

Yea!!!!!! CARL TO DETROIT!!!!!!

[Goapics1]

Holy Shit! Junior should have spoke up earlier!

Dammit Carl!

[the Talking Can]

and carl isn't....

amazing

[Gonzo]

Lock him up Clark!

ASAP!

[Bill Lundberg]

Does Clark Hunt by chance have a son who could be persuaded to say if it were his team he would have already fired Carl???

[Iowanian]

Clark Hunt is probably on the phone with him now...asking him how he likes BBQ.

[Deberg_1990]

and carl isn't....

amazing

We cant expect the Chiefs to make any rash decisions.

Be patient.... ROFL

[Skip Towne]

And he is fired early in the season. See, Clark, it can be done.

[L.A. Chieffan]

whoa

[Goapics1]

And he is fired early in the season. See, Clark, it can be done.

Rebuilding, get over it.

Yea his name is Mike...

[L.A. Chieffan]

It would be all-time if they took another WR in the 1st round

[gblowfish]

Let's trade Carl to Detroit for a bucket of athletic supporters.

if you are looking for used Detroit Lions athletic supporters, Tatum Bell can hook you up.

[Bill Lundberg]

HAHAHAHA I get it. My C unt HAHAHAHA

:shake:

[Goapics1]

These guys are gonna have to find something else to do.

[beavis]

The Lions have won only one playoff game...

He's still accomplished more than Carl.

[Bwana]

Clark Hunt is probably on the phone with him now...asking him how he likes BBQ.


That was my first thought as well. :shake:

[Goapics1]

Anyone think Carl is shaking in his shoes?

[Bwana]

Anyone think Carl is shaking in his shoes?

I would like to think so, but with the record of our front office retaining crap, I doubt it. :doh!:

[Rausch]

Anyone think Carl is shaking in his shoes?

He wouldn't believe it until the print hit the papers...

[Mecca]

HAHAHAHA I get it. My C unt HAHAHAHA

:shake:

Before I knew what Lamars sons name was Clark I was hoping it was Mike nothing would have been funnier to hear "and now the owner of the Kansas City Chiefs.....Mike Hunt, everyone a big round of applause for Mike Hunt"

[Goapics1]

Good lord.

The Lions are 31-84 under Millen

[Brock]

8th grade much?

[Rausch]

8th grade much?

Where is that avatar from?

I know it's a flick, the guy's evil and a half with some type of speech impediment or accent, just can't place it and it's been bothering me for a good while now...

[boogblaster]

Carl and Matt should be mated ... offspring could be used for floormats curbbumpers seeing eyedogs or just plain dicklickers ...

BOOMB

[oaklandhater]

I never thought i would say it but im actually envious of the lions :(

[Redrum_69]

Theres a news conference at Arrowhead on channel 4.

Its supposed to be at 11:00

[Skip Towne]

Why was Millen ever hired as GM. Was he ever anything more than a Raider LB?

[teedubya]

OFFICIAL: MILLEN IS OUT!!!!

I am so excited!!!!

----

Amazing...and it only took eight years to get him out...

But my hero is Bill Ford, Jr. Took a lot of guts to publicly go against his dad...and a heck of a gamble to do so...

So Bear, now what? This sites mission has been accomplished...do we continue on under another name?

----

I haven't put down my phone since I heard the great news. This is one of the happiest days I've had in a while. I'm going to buy a lottery ticket right now. We need to keep this site going so we never forget how awful he was. Here's the link in case anyone wants to read for themselves.
http://msn.foxsports.com/nfl/story/8601458/Millen-out-as-Lions-president,-GM

----

It almost makes the 0-3 record worthwile....

----

There is a God!!!! Man, this was a shock! I figured that after Jr spoke out, it would be another 5 year extension at least

----

I was secretly rooting for the Lions to loose big this year just so something drastic would happen. Now that it has, we have to deal with one of Bill srs. new hires, but hey, it couldn't be worse right? I wouldn't shut down the site yet. We may have another 10 years of futility thanks to the old man. The next site should be "www.pleasefordsellthelions.com".

----




Oh how I want to experience the joy that Lions fan is today. It will almost be as good as a Superbowl victory.

Perhaps when we fire Carl, KC can have a tickertape parade?

[Goapics1]

He interviewed well.

[Mr. Laz]

too bad .... now another NFL franchise might get it's shiite together and make us look worthless.

:(

[Goapics1]

make us look worthless.
:(

Look?

[L.A. Chieffan]

too bad .... now another NFL franchise might get it's shiite together and make us look worthless.

:(

The Rams are starting Green, the Lions fired their G.M., and weeeeeee might possibly start Huard.

Is this real, or will someone have to use some rusty nut-hooks?

[triple]

this does make us officially the most pathetic franchise in the league, however.

[Redrum_69]

well i didnt say what date, time, or year.

just sometime

[Mile High Mania]

Peterson likely looks at this and says, "Why fire me... they were 31-84 under Millen. Since, 2001 ... we're 57-58 and 4 seasons at or above .500! We're on our way to the promise land."

[milkman]

Why was Millen ever hired as GM. Was he ever anything more than a Raider LB?

He was a TV analyst.

Everybody knows the next step up is NFL GM.

[Demonpenz]

hah. Nice

[Nightfyre]

Have not read the thread, so sorry if repost.

Carl should trade himself to the Lions for their first round draft choice in 2009!

Hunt to hire Millen to replace Carl in 3... 2... 1...

[CosmicPal]

Nice...

You know, as the marketing guru that he is, he'd be a perfect fit for the Lions: restore public interest, fill all the seats in the house, and draft a team good enough to keep them coming, but never good enough to win it all.

[Rain Man]

While I'm happy for the long-suffering people of Detroit, this makes me kind of sad. Not only does it deprive me of one of my most enduring sources of laughter, but it also eliminates the Chiefs' only competition for "most incompetent leadership".

I don't know how much more incompetent it gets than having Ford as an owner.

no, that might be a sticking point, how about a case of footballs....

[Nightfyre]

We are talking about CARL negotiating HIS OWN value, here.

[Molitoth]

OH YA BABY WOOHOOOOOOOOOO!

[ZootedGranny]

When Carl was hired by the Chiefs, Matt Millen was still playing in the league.

[blueballs]

has the Detroit mayor declared today a major holiday
because you know they're dancing in the streets

[oaklandhater]

It should have been Carl who was fired.............

The Lions need that pick to draft another WR.




On another note, being a Lions fan this is one of the greatest days in Football. Now if only the Hunt family will take notes on todays actions.

[oaklandhater]

Classic has chiefs fan's we should take a note about turning on our franchise Lions fans proved it NEVER GIVE UP THE DREAM.

The end of an era.

Go with God, Matt Millen. And, with this boot amidst your buttocks.

[FringeNC]

Now that Millen's gone, I think we have the worst GM/HC tandem in the league. (Excluding whatever the hell is going on in Oakland)

Oakland sadly is still better...

Hey, is that Journey?

Yeah! That IS Journey!! *runs towards sound*

['Hamas' Jenkins]

Probably one of the five worst general managers in football history.

Matt Millen....


kill yourself.

[Sure-Oz]

I'm suprised he didn't **** up the Calvin Johnson pick and go with someone else because of his WR schtick the past few years

[Valiant]

Someone would make a killing with selling shirts outside of the complex by the road..

Fire (picture of Carl) Carl..

Have some stats on there, like how much ticket prices have raised compared to playoffs won and so forth..

Charge 20 dollars even, Have a sign that says 'still cheaper then parking' and you get to take something other then heartache home from the game..

[Over-Head]

If they follow suit with quite a few teams in the NFL, Tui should be starting sunday :D

This Is The Year I Finally Get It Not Quite So Disastrously Wrong

Well, I think we’re just about finished preparing for this draft. I’m glad I flew in from Pennsylvania today to make sure our board and my notes were in order!

1. Limas Sweed, Texas

NOTES: Name kinda sounds like Speed, which means he has to be fast. Played with Mack Brown, who’s my kinda guy.

2. Malcolm Kelly, Oklahoma

NOTES: Played in lots of big games. I mean, REALLY big games!

3. James Hardy, Indiana

NOTES: Has real grit. If he’s the wide receiver equivalent of Vaughn Dunbar, I think we’re in for a real treat.

4. DeSean Jackson, California

NOTES: Very tall, and you can’t coach tall!

5. Devin Thomas, Michigan State

NOTES: Now THIS guy is a football player. Can see it in his eyes.

6. Earl Bennett, Vanderbilt

NOTES: That’s one of those smart guy schools, right? You have to be careful with guys like that, because they can overthink the game. Don’t want any overthinkers on this team.

7. Early Doucet, LSU

NOTES: Boy, doesn’t he just SOUND like a football player?

8. Andre Caldwell, Florida

NOTES: Dropped lots of passes in the 2007 AFC Championship game. But it’s so rare to find a college player who already has pro experience.

9. Jordy Nelson, Kansas State

NOTES: Marinelli likes him. What. EVER.

10. Mario Manningham, Michigan

NOTES: First name seems really chantable.

Yep, that’s a solid board.

I think this year’s draft could represent a real turning point for our franchise. Those fans sure have been rough on me and my family. But if they only knew how much I put into this job! How much I live and die with every decision, how I finally started working alternate Fridays instead of always taking them off.

If only they knew the sacrifices I made! Well, this is the year it’s finally gonna pay off, I tell you! This is the year I finally get it not quite so disastrously wrong. I like this board. We’re gonna get a GREAT player, a real impact player this go round. And we’re gonna win!

Say, you know what? I think Manningham needs to be just a bit higher on our board. He’s a Big Ten guy, and Big Ten guys know what this game’s all about!

(goes to adjust board)

(slips on piece of paper left on ground)

(lets go of steaming hot coffee cup, scalding a nearby receptionist)

(knocks lit Sterno can out of buffet setup, curtains in room light on fire)

(knocks head on table getting back up)

(grabs fire extinguisher)

(attempts to squeeze handle without pulling pin)

(punches IT guy in face by accident while pulling out pin)

(doesn’t expect kickback from extinguisher, falls out nearby window)

(lands on one side of a seesaw, sending 7-year-old-boy into orbit)

(rolls down very steep hill)

(gets permanent grass stain on new shirt)

(gets mouse trap caught on big toe)

(rolls through intersection, causing 37-car pileup)

(falls off cliff)

(lands on locomotive windshield, causing engineer to veer off tracks, train runs into nuclear missile silo)

(falls off hood of locomotive, lands on giant red FULL RELEASE button)

(triggers end of humanity)

OH MAN, NOT AGAIN!

(keeps job)

One of these days, we’re gonna turn this thing around.
