Well Lions fans we got what we have wished for, now what?
I think the Lions can’t do any worse, but will it fix things? Well it’s a start.
Head Coach Rod Marinelli’s press conference this week seems to be a little more subdued than last week’s referring to the “Magic wand” comment.
When asked yesterday what he had to say about Ford Jr’s comments Head Coach Rod Marinelli had this to say "I just came out of meetings and he (spokesman Bill Keenist) just informed me of the article, and I have no comment on it, and I'll leave it at that."
