The country has spiraled into a severe economic crisis in the past few days. Lehman Brothers went belly up. Merrill Lynch got bought out. Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac and AIG got bailed out. Now there’s word that Washington Mutual could also go under, and that the FDIC may soon run out of money to insure accounts.
So how did this happen? What brought us to this terrible economic precipice? Who is to blame for lending out billions upon billions of dollars to unqualified homeowners and didn’t have the cash to back it up? Who played Russian roulette with pension funds and stockholder nest eggs? Who is at the root of the potential total collapse of the American financial market?
WHO DID THIS TO US?
I fucking knew it.

Are you sure it wasn’t the bridge? She got me.

Word is that there are a bunch of newly former Detroit city workers “getting a look” today from the Leo’s, as they keep parading washed up has-beens through the fortified Leo compound. Where is Johnathan Joseph Harrington anyway?
Fag!
Damn. I was hoping for some hot Marmalard action. Or Silky Garrard
I was sure the next line was going to be:

Wish there was a screenshot of Broncfan1990
Does this mean the Ford family controls the world and is using Matt Millen as a Manchurian Candidate? Shit, maybe those “Protocols of the Elders of Zion” really did convince Henry.
I was going to guess Frank Stallone.
Can’t the US just bet everything we’ve got against the Lions? Or is that just chasing bad money?

Considering that most of this came about from giving tons of money to people that didn’t deserve it, wouldn’t that suggest Dan Snyder is behind it all?
the lesser-known brother Teddy Lehman is also the linebacking equivalent of the more famous Lehman Brothers. Good riddance, shitbag.
I would have to say that the Lions are the Lehman Brothers of the NFL. Looked good on paper, you invest some money in ‘em and get fucked in the pants in the end.
Matt Millen thinks Jason McIntyre could turn this blog into a winner.
It’s not Pollard’s fault since he broke Brady’s feeble wittle weg which sent bostonians into a complete and utter panic? I feel so bad for those great people in New England. Who the fuck I am kidding, fuck NE!
i was gonna guess belichek
@BabyCarruth: The stock market plays for the Cowboys? Who knew!
to his credit, he did call the ex-CEO of washington mutual a faggot.
Nah, it’s the guy behind the guy. William Clay Ford. And fuck that guy.
Causing a systematic meltdown of the American financial system is beyond Millen’s feeble powers. Nope, to create total panic you need a real gunslinger, an American hero who’s just having fun out there, who recently moved to New York… yep.
WHO’S TO BLAME?!?!

I was sure it would have been….
“You guessed it, Frank Stallone.”
@ Unsilent Majority. Also, he isn’t hurting for WRs either.
@Billiever: The Stock Market only has coke and whore intervals.
Romeo Crennel would like to call a timeout on the stock market
Geez, Farve’s right there. Just ask him for a loan. Or, just buy a bunch of jeans. That’ll help.
Silky has seemingly lost his magic. Wonder what he will fall back on in these troubled times?
and here i thought it was cause silky garrard lost his magic.
Funny, that doesn’t look like Al Davis to me.
Great…next I guess you’ll tell me that he’s going to be moderating the Presidential debates too. No way those can get screwed up right?
You’re fucking killing me here.
Wow, I thought Mitch Albom was responsible.
I knew it.
/goes to the shed for his mob pitchfork
At least he was smart enough to bring in a veteran quarterback.
