I’m looking forward to the Detroit Lions game against the Green Bay Packers tonight. It’s not because I’m hoping they’ll win. I hope they lose, but not because I’ve lost my confidence in them. That already happened a few weeks ago. It’s because I’m looking toward what’s going to happen next week.

If you didn’t happen to hear what’s been happening lately with the Lions, here’s the scoop. The Lions were supposed to have had a decent season with the players they’ve acquired, but they haven’t lived up to their expectations. A few days after an embarassing Thanksgiving game, the Lions’ head coach Steve Mariucci was fired. But most fans don’t think Mariucci was the problem with the team. Many people think it’s the team’s General Manager Matt Millen. So last week there was a fan that held up a sign saying “Fire Millen” and walked through the stands so security couldn’t catch him. Finally they did and he was kicked out of the stadium. Throughout the week, local fans have been holding up signs saying “Fire Millen” at other college and professional games in the area. It seems like every Lions fan is furious.

If the Lions lose to Green Bay tonight, they’ll have to come back to Detroit for a home game next week. This time it will be worse than just a fan holding a “Fire Millen” sign. Apparently, an Angry Fan March has been planned by a local radio station before the game. I can’t wait to see what else happens.
