Daunte Culpepper signs with the Lions

Um ... ok .. fine.

He goes to an 0-7 team whose coach is about to be fired and whose next general manager is working somewhere else in the NFL.

Right.

Well, at least one Bill Ford says Matt Millen has to go

Unfortunately for Lions fans, it's Bill Ford Jr., not William Clay Ford, who has final say over general manager Matt Millen's fate.

Here's what Bill Ford Jr. said when asked earlier today at a Detroit Economic Club event when he was asked about the Lions' blowout loss to the 49ers yesterday.

"It was an embarrassment, the fans deserve better, and if I had the authority, I would have fired the general manager,” Ford said. He was asked again a few minutes later if he'd have fired Millen, and he replied: “Yes, but I don’t have that authority.”

The Lions, in case you've been living under a rock during the Millen era, are a complete joke. And at 0-3, there is little hope of turning this thing around.

But at least the son is now openly at war with the father over this one. And you have to believe - please, let us believe - that Ford Sr. will look at this fiasco and mercifully pull the plug on the Millen era.

This might be the most bizarre story I've ever heard

Here's the condensed version:

Running back Rudi Johnson was signed by the Lions on Monday after being released by the Bengals. perryellis.jpg

To make room on the roster, the Lions released running back Tatum Bell.

While Johnson was somewhere else in the team's practice facility, Bell allegedly took two pieces of Johnson's luggage from the locker room.

The luggage was eventually returned, although $200 in cash and credit cards were missing.

"He left the money clip, but he didn’t leave no money in it," Johnson told a reporter. "He should have took the clip, too. … If anybody’s got some Perry Ellis boxers for sale, you know where they came from."

Bell says it was all a mix-up.

Strange.

Very, very strange. Although I love Johnson's quote about the Perry Ellis boxers for sale.
