I usually hate playing with stats, but that's an amazing one.

Lions release Jahvid Best after multiple concussions

 

That poor guy hasn't been right since he was lying on the Byrd Stadium turf puking after Kevin Barnes leveled him.

I bet they're happy they got rid of that headache.

Jim Schwartz: Season not a failure

 

"We didn't make the playoffs and it's obviously anybody's goal when they go in, so we didn't achieve that goal," Schwartz said. "But I don't know if I'd be as strong as to call it a failure. That was the word you used. I don't know if I'd be as strong to call it that.

 

Schwartz said he looks at the word "failure" as "abject failure," when everything goes wrong, not just enough to see a team drop five of six games, with all the losses coming after the Lions led in the fourth quarter.

 

Sounds like a man who is going to be "abjectly fired" one week from today.

He went to MSJ and Georgetown. You'd think he'd be smart enough to know no one buys that.

“No owner loved his team more than Mr. Ford loved the Lions."

Good to know given all the success he had.

To be fair, he was more incompetent than malevolent (unlike the Bidwells or Mike Brown or Dan Snyder).

He'll go down as one of the worst owners in NFL history, one playoff win in 55+ years. My dad said he used the same bathroom as the fans at RFK when the Lions played the Redskins in the NFC CG.
