Charles Rogers, Finding A Home Up North?

We think we've found a great future job for Lions general manager / president Matt Millen, if he's ever actually fired by Detroit. (Ha. Right.) He would make a grand scout for the CFL. More »

Johnnie Morton Is Some Kind of Bad-Ass

The Fighting Entertainment Group announced a press conference yesterday for some kind of a Mixed Martian Arts pay-per-view thing. I'm not very big into the MMA/Ultimate Fighting scene, so I was surprised to learn that they're now employing WWF guys and retired NFL wide receivers. More »

Matt Millen Laughs At The Pain He Causes You

You know, we're starting to think that the only things that would survive a nuclear holocaust would be cockroaches, Kevin Federline and Matt Millen. And at least the cockroaches would feel kind of guilty about it. More »

It's A Big Day For The Millen Haters

The latest in Lions fan protests is happening, oh, any time now. At some point in the second quarter, Lions fans are urged to walk out of Ford Field en masse. The goal, I believe, is not necessarily to voice their anger with Matt Millen, but rather with the guy who won't fire him, team owner William Clay Ford. More »

You Can Never Get Rid Of Matt Millen. Ever.

Sometimes big fan movements make a difference, changing the course of sports through a considerable mix of gumption and volume, like with the Rory Fitzpatrick NHL All-Star balloting, which still has a chance to send him into the starting lineup. More »

Do Not Taunt Detroit Lions Fans


We don't mean (Fire Millen!) to kick a dying horse, but when you're hosting a Super Bowl, and you have a lifesize cutout picture of a team that has won 21 games in five years, you're just asking for trouble. More »

Woe To Be The Coach Of The Lions

Far be it from us to imply that new Detroit Lions head coach might have the deck stacked against him, but the fella hasn't even coached a game yet, and already they're already mocking the guy. More »

Millen Slowly Realizing He's Hated

You might remember, a few weeks ago ("Fire Millen!), when we mentioned that the only possible way Detroit Lions GM Matt Millen was going to save his job was by embracing the Fire Millen movement ("Fire Millen!) and wearing a "Fire Millen" T-shirt or something. More »

Matt Millen's Discerning Eye For Genius

Whenever Lions general manager Matt Millen ("Fire Millen!") makes some sort of executive decision, we tend to sit up and take notice, if just so we can film it and send it into one of those blooper shows. Today's decision is the hiring ("Fire Millen!") of Buccaneers defensive line coach Rod Marinelli as the Lions' next head coach. More »

Blogdom's Best: Fire Millen!

We have traveled to many strange, exotic team hater blogs, witnessed the disdain first hand, and purchased souvenirs. But now we shall go one step beyond — stepping into uncharted territory: hater blogs devoted to a single person. Yes, we know it's dangerous. There's a chance we will never see home and loved ones again. But damn it, we have to try. Pray for us.

It's the craze that's sweeping the nation — Fire Millen. Like the Macarena and "Who Let the Dogs Out?" before it, people have embraced this phenomenon, and it's all anyone can talk about. Getting rid of the Detroit Lions' president and CEO has developed into a pop culture sensation; even people who don't like the Lions, or football even, are jumping onto the Fire Millen bandwagon. Predictably, the Internet is no exception. Let's take a stroll through the loathing, shall we?

3. FireMillen.Net. A solid blog which features a good Fire Millen Photoshop selection.
2. Fire Millen. A cornucopia of Millen hate, featuring video of the Che Guevara of the Fire Millen movement, Duncan DeBruin.
1. Fire Matt Millen. "RULE CHANGES FROM LAST YEAR ** 1 - When playing polio patients, the Lions must not disconnect knee braces."

Postscript ... for those who think we're being a little hard on Matt, let's not forget this.

A Match Made In ... Well, In Detroit

We were marvelling this morning at the potential news: Matt Millen and the Detroit Lions are bringing in former Saints coach Jim Haslett for a job interview. We don't necessarily think that hiring Haslett would bring the Fire Millen crowd much closer to dragging the guy out of his house and having him drawn and quartered that it would if he, say, brought back Marty "We Want The Wind!" Mornhinweg ... but it has to be close, doesn't it? More »

Signs, Signs, Everywhere Signs

It does seem like this has been happening a lot of late: The Buffalo Bills a couple of weeks ago didn't allow several fans to bring their anti-management signs into Ralph Wilson Stadium, threatening them with ejection if they didn't throw the sign away. The Associated Press interviews Mike Allenbaugh, whose ESPN-inspired ""firE coacheS dumP maNagement" sign rivals our famous "macroEconomically baSquiat-like lessonPlan raisiNs" for readibility and coherence.

The Only Real Way For Millen To Survive

As our weekend cohort The Mighty MJD pointed out yesterday, the "Fire Millen" bandwagon in Detroit yesterday — the organized protest by Lions "fans" to get rid of long miserable team president Matt Millen — has reached critical mass; it's so big now that Rasheed Wallace is on board. Not only is FireMillen.com doing well, so are FireMillen.net and FireMillen.org. It's bad times, very bad times — not undeserved, of course. More »
