Trust me when I say this....living in Detroit my whole life and being in other major cities across this country, there is NO better sports town in America...However, when it comes to this PATHETIC organization, I wont support it. If someone called the Detroit Lions the worst franchise in all of sports, I couldnt even argue it. Unitill William Clay Ford Senior moves on to his new life, this franchise will never win. The same thing was going on in Chicago with the Blackhawks. When Wirtz died the team is now up and coming. Its sad that fans have to suffer with garbage owners like these people. ONE playoff win in 45 years. Are you f*cking kidding me? You accidently win one playoff game every 5 years in the NFL. If I was a player being drafted by this team, I would REFUSE to play for them. It is a career killer. I wouldnt look down on the kid one bit for pulling a John Elway or Eli Manning. Those guys didnt even have good reasons for not wanting to goto Baltimore or San Diego. This organization SUCKS! Just my two cents worth.

Props to Stafford but I dont think he realizes what a black hole the DL organization really is. I hope he can turn them around but i dont see it. D etroit should stick to hockey lol, its what they are good at.

he just wants the money that being the number 1 is there is 1 other team in top 12 that maybe want a QB so either he gets 75mil or 2mil like with what happened to brady quinn
