Douchebag journalist in Detroit.

This is a good place to drop general and weird news, entertainment, and general show prep material that might be interesting to air talent or producers. Hot dog threads ALWAYS welcome.

Not a journalist.
A sports reporter.
Big difference.

Thank Walter Cronkite... this is just an extension of "reporters that 'feel' the news".

Sort of like defining Rush Limbaugh, Bill O' Reilly, Stephanie Miller, and Jon Stewart.

If I may speak for the newspaper profession and journalists in general, the reporter was asking the head coach to evaluate the job of his defensive coordinator. The head coach was ducking the question. Was the reporter a jerk? Technically yes, but I'd be a jerk too if my questions were being ducked.

Yahoo! The Lions did it! 0-16. I have been a fan for 28 years, but man, the Ford family richly deserves this. :D

Wait. Does this mean that the Lions might ask for a government bailout? To stop the failure that is Detroit.

Detroit has three of the top 33 picks in the 2009 Draft and a GM in Martin Mayhew who knows what he's doing (he extracted first-and-third round picks from Dallas for Roy Williams, who the Cowboys might have been able to get without giving up any picks via unrestricted free agency). Take a franchise QB and two blue-chip defensive players and build to win in 2010.

How bad does a team have to be to go totally winless? I mean, wow.

The laws of average say that even bad teams should pick up a few wins during the season. Usually the heavily-favored team underestimates their opponent and doesn't show up mentally, and/or the underdogs just get sick of losing. (see: Redskins @ Bengals). Consequently, there are several big upsets every year.

Despite big ego clashes and rookie coaching, the Redskins still somehow finished 8-8.

But to go completely winless suggests that nothing is firing right, from the GM/owners on down to the players.

Detroit is in hard times all over...

Remember the days of Barry Sanders?

What a running back. Shame the Detroit teams he was on never made it to the big one.
