NFL Week 4 Open Thread

by — ,

The Matt Millen era came to an end in Detroit this week, as the Lions’ General Manager was finally canned after a reign of ineptness that made Lions fans feel like the Bush Administration was running their team. Here’s how some of the fans celebrated:

A Detroit radio station gave the Matt Millen era a proper burial Friday, complete with a motorcycle-drawn carriage lugging a “Fire Millen!” sign in a custom-painted Lions casket.

“This is a special moment for us as we say good-bye to a legacy, to a reign of a general manager that brought us frustrations, brought us tears, brought us everything but a trophy,” DJ Spike, from the “Mojo in the Morning” program on WKQI-FM (95.5), said as the funeral lined up at 8 a.m. at Eastern Market.

An $85,000 Harley-Davidson hearse led the procession south on Gratiot Avenue to Ford Field. Inside the gleaming Honolulu blue-and-silver casket was a photograph of Millen’s face on a white, padded, silk pillow.

As about 30 people standing around the casket snickered, Spike invited fans to put mementos in the casket “to be buried forever along with the bad memories of seven years of Matt Millen’s reign.”

Like the Lions, the Seahawks have their bye this week. And also like the Lions, the Seahawks have their own fans who go a little too far (ok, in that case, a lot too far).

    Seattle headed into recession.
    Read this P-I Article–

    To Jon DeVore and the other frustrated Gregoire supporters—
    THIS IS WHY GREGOIRE WANTS TO LOSE!!
    State Revenue will continue to plummet and Gregoire has already given State Employees raises and hired more to satisy the Unions.
    IT’S UNSUSTAINABLE!!
    Hence, Gregoire is quitting….dodging the recession bullet.

    Cyniclown,

    Is it even possible for you stay anywhere near the topic? Or is the overdose of ego and hubris you labor under just that dense?

  5. 5

    @3 I assume the topic of this thread is, “Puddy’s continued state of denial allows Republican party to be a magnet for depraved pedophiles and goatfuckers”.

    His inability to even admit to a Republican pedophile problem is, as Puddy says, “telling”.

    Tina Fey owns Sarah Palin.

    In an election campaign notable for its surprises, Sarah Palin, the Republican vice- presidential candidate, may be about to spring a new one — the wedding of her pregnant teenage daughter to her ice-hockey-playing fiancé before the November 4 election.

    Inside John McCain’s campaign the expectation is growing that there will be a popularity boosting pre-election wedding in Alaska between Bristol Palin, 17, and Levi Johnston, 18, her schoolmate and father of her baby. “It would be fantastic,” said a McCain insider. “You would have every TV camera there. The entire country would be watching. It would shut down the race for a week.”

    Republican judge gets four years in the slammer for using a penis pump while court was in session.

    This has been another edition of “Puddy’s Heroes”.

    Go ahead and attack the messenger again, Puddy. Tell the folks here again how, instead of linking to actual news stories, I’m posting links to lewd animal sex sites.

    Republican and Christians marry their knocked up teenage girlfriends. I leave ’em in a few years when they lose their looks, but I always do the right thing at the beginning when everyone is watching.

    This is a completely open thread, so Mr. Cynical is free to explore any avenue of his legendary idiocy.

    Speaking of which, how are the polls looking?

    It’s a safe bet that if a Republican says one thing he is doing the opposite. Speaking of betting:

    Senator John McCain was on a roll. In a room reserved for high-stakes gamblers at the Foxwoods Resort Casino in Connecticut, he tossed $100 chips around a hot craps table. When the marathon session ended around 2:30 a.m., the Arizona senator and his entourage emerged with thousands of dollars in winnings.

    A lifelong gambler, Mr. McCain takes risks, both on and off the craps table. He was throwing dice that night not long after his failed 2000 presidential bid, in which he was skewered by the Republican Party’s evangelical base, opponents of gambling. Mr. McCain was betting at a casino he oversaw as a member of the Senate Indian Affairs Committee, and he was doing so with the lobbyist who represents that casino, according to three associates of Mr. McCain.

    The visit had been arranged by the lobbyist, Scott Reed, who works for the Mashantucket Pequot, a tribe that has contributed heavily to Mr. McCain’s campaigns and built Foxwoods into the world’s second-largest casino. Joining them was Rick Davis, Mr. McCain’s current campaign manager. Their night of good fortune epitomized not just Mr. McCain’s affection for gambling, but also the close relationship he has built with the gambling industry and its lobbyists during his 25-year career in Congress.

    Idiot fool! Every time a Republican tries to help a stranger with his pants you guys do this.

    The Washington Post reports that with Obama opening up a small lead the McCain campaign is gearing up for an attack. All across the country they are calling in their staff from children’s playgrounds, barns, and public men’s rooms to begin a coordinated assault on Obama for not sharing the family values of hard working decent Americans.

    @8

    This is the kind of family values Republican judges bring to the bench with them. They are strict constitutionalists. Of course they focus more on one part of their constitution than others.

    He said he may have absentmindedly squeezed the pump’s handle during court cases but never used it to masturbate.

    Foster told authorities that she saw Thompson use the device almost daily during the August 2003 murder trial of a man accused of shaking a toddler to death. A whooshing sound could be heard on Foster’s audiotape of the trial. When jurors asked the judge about the sound, Thompson said he hadn’t heard it but would listen for it.

    Police built a case against the judge after a police officer testifying in a 2003 murder trial saw a piece of plastic tubing disappear under Thompson’s robe. During a lunch break, officers took photographs of the pump under the desk.

    Investigators later checked the carpet, Thompson’s robes and the chair behind the bench and found semen, according to court records.

    Carmelia Brossett, a senior probation officer for the state Department of Corrections, said in a presentencing report that Thompson refused to undergo psychosexual testing.

    The CBS poll of undecided voters says Obama won hands down on points.

    Why did voters’ image of Obama improve? Many volunteered that they were impressed by his poise and knowledge about the issues, that he was more knowledgeable about the issues than they thought previously. When it came to John McCain, those same voters said he “didn’t control
    himself well under pressure”, that he was “angry and bad-tempered”, and that he “talked too much about the past”.

    @18 Idiot Fool!

    Republicans are conservative with their money. Wearing his sister’s dress was just being frugal. And stiffing a prostitute-well show me a good American who hasn’t done that once or twice.

    Why thank you Lee.
    But let me ask you this…
    Why must you be so mean to me??

    There ill be plenty of celebrations following Gregoire’s deafeat. The biggest celebration will be by the Gregoire’s at the Governor’s Mansion.
    Gregoire has screwed the Budget so badly with $8 BILLION of increased spending to pay-off the Unions with salary & benefits plus thousands of new State Employees in the face of a recession…that losing is her best option.

    Gregoire has 39 years in government. She will get a fat Pension of 60% of her Governor’s Salary…and then become a Lobbyist/Consultant.
    And the biggest plus of all for Gregoire losing is she will no longer have to listen to HorsesA$$es like David KLOWNstein and his Northwest Division of Lunatic Moonbats any more!
