This season, I have word that the Lions will be unveiling a new package of plays, that features a running back on a direct snap and a quarterback split out wide. Tentatively referred to as “Crazy Kitties”, this playbook will undoubtedly revolutionize the game as we know it.

Matt Millen is stoked.

@ Concrete Cyanide

Leaving ex-players on promotional stuff is classic Lions. They left Roy Williams on the 2009 calendar and I think they did the same thing two years ago with Kevin Jones but I couldn’t find a link with a quick search.

Williams, by the way, was traded in October of 2008.

That picture is clearly not from Detroit. No one has stolen the wheels off the chair…

Players no longer on the team? Oh, please do tell. This is JV high school-level fun.

Say what you want about the Lions, but so long as you don’t care about on-field success (and believe me when I say that many of us Lions fans gave up on that a long time ago) they are an enormously entertaining franchise to follow. This is the team that gave us an assistant coach going through a drive up window naked, sent out team calendars featuring players no longer on the team and used the words “Fuck ‘em” in an e-mail to a season ticket holder. They may be the worst team in history, but they aren’t dull.

These FAIL posts are just great. Nothing’s better than kicking a shitty team while they’re down and/or losing 6 games by more than 3 TDs. At least the Ford family will have a monopoly on the domestic car market by the time football season begins. Can’t wait to get my brand spanking new Ford Focus!

To be fair, the Lions just happened to catch everyone playing at their peak.

@ Stu: I agree, understated, not the sarcastically humorous gems we’re accustomed to, but when there’s this much factual awesome, why expand?

They should just put “Kevin” on the back of the jerseys from now on.

What about just going with “FAIL” across everyone’s jerseys but Megatron’s?
