Well I thought I would never see the day. The day where a "professional" football team would fail to win a single game. In the past, teams have come close to point of total disaster, but managed to mutter up a win or two to avoid total embarrassment.
As each week went on the Lions seemed to be more concerned with not loosing, rather than wanting to win. Week after week went by and the Lions failed to put up a win for there so called efforts on the field. Although, I'm not here to give my two cents on reasons why the Lions embarrassed them-selfs, and more so the city of Detroit. We all know that they need a lot and I'm not the GM, so I won't point fingers.
What I will say is how much of an epic failure this season was for the Lions, and when looking at the bigger picture, for the NFL. To harbor a team that can't win one single game and just let it go without being reprimanded is wrong. The Lions are a business, and right now this business has hit rock bottom. This year the Lions, among other off the field issues, have tarnished the NFL's name.
When marketers give big money deals to athletes, this turns out to be a giant risk. For every success story we have the Lions or a Mike Vick who make business with their logo seem cheep or a big joke.
A 0-16 team, a wide receiver shooting himself in the leg, pac man, and some guy called T.O. have given this league a bad name. Not only does this look bad for the league but the businesses that shell out millions as sponsors may have to take years to re-build the image.
