The Replacements

We've all heard the great news that the city of Detroit is all a buzz about this week, Matt Millen was fired! Alleluia!!

For now Tom Lewand and Martin Mayhew will be holding Millen's former position of GM until a decision has been made for his replacement. One person that is already seemingly throwing his hat in the ring for the job is former GM of the Tennessee Titans, Floyd Reese.

In a recent interview with George Sipple of the Detroit Free Press, Floyd was quoted as saying "If I had Williams Clay Ford's number, you'd be hearing a dial tone right now. I'm in a unique situation. I've been in the league 32 years. ... I could be in Detroit tomorrow."

Don't Let the Door Hit You on the Way Out

Well the loyal DGF readers have spoken! In our latest survey Kwame Kilpatrick was voted the biggest disappointment of 2008 in the city of Detroit above the Big 3, Detroit Tigers and Matt Millen!

The good news is both Kwame and Matt Millen were both dismissed from their jobs this month. Good riddance to both of you!

Tigers Join Lions in Cellar

The lowly Kansas City Royals ONCE AGAIN beat our beloved Tigers tonight. Royals pitching combined to throw a four-hitter and shut out the Tigers out 5-0.

With tonight's loss the Tigers have fallen into last place in the American League Central. This has to be the most disappointing Tigers team to ever play in Detroit. Coming into this season many had this team in the ALCS, some even had them in the World Series! And now here they are in September, sitting in the cellar.

Well at least they have fellow Detroit cellar-dwellers Detroit Lions to keep them company down there.

Golden Grizzlies Climb into Top 25

The Oakland University men’s soccer team (6-1-0) climbed 4 spots in the College Soccer News Top 30 Poll to #24. OU will next travel to the University of Michigan (5-2-1) on Wednesday to battle the Wolverines.

The Golden Grizzlies lone defeat this year has come at the hands of the #2 ranked Southern Methodist University Mustangs by a score of 3-1. Oakland's most recent victory was last friday against in-state rival Western Michigan, the Grizzlies won 3-0.

Bill Ford Jr Speaks Out

In what was either said by accident out of frustration or was a calculated move, Bill Ford Jr, Vice President Chairman of the Detroit Lions said if he had the authority, which he doesn't, that he would fire Matt Millen. Reason being? The fans deserve better then the bad product they have had to endure over the last decade. Amen Brother!

It will be interesting to see what comes of this statement as William Clay Ford Sr., Bill's father, is the owner of the Detroit Lions and holds the power to hire and fire. As many already know, William Clay is an avid supporter of Millen for whatever reason.

If nothing else, I would think this would force Senior to make a rare appearance to address his son's comments. At best we could finally be free of Millen the Horrible.
