And the party in Chicago, Green Bay, and Minnesota continues. Per the Associated Press, Lions G.M. Martin Mayhew will have final say for all football matters moving forward. Meeting with the media on Tuesday, Mayhew and team president Tom Lewand said that their 21 years combined experience with the franchise makes them the best men to turn the team around. Why? Because they witnessed the mistakes made under former CEO Matt Millen. So, if we understand this (and we’re not really sure that we do), having a front-row seat for a train wreck makes the witnesses to the calamity the best persons not to crash the next train? The bottom line is that neither Mayhew nor Lewand will be saddled with any accountability for the past eight years of futility. Instead, they’ve been rewarded. Oh, poor Detroit fans. We hope your hockey team does well again this year.
