How Lionesque was THAT?

Okay, so we all know the whole Millen thing was a circus. And that's a good thing because the Millen REGIME has been even worse.

But the funniest part of the whole thing?

The Lions just may have cost themselves a shot at the quarterback they needed to sign next year: Unrestricted free agent Jon Kitna.

Do you really think Kitna, an established veteran with just a few more years left in the tank who's probably looking to be on a contending team, would want to come here after bearing witness to THAT atmosphere yesterday??

Sure, the Lions might have a competent, offensive-minded coach in place by next year and some O-line help, but that certainly didn't help the Lions' chances of signing Kitna next season.

They might have to overpay him to get him to come.

Other options? Kurt Warner (ugh), Josh McCown (not good enough), Joey Harrington (probably too risky), Orlovsky (not ready), Garcia (hahaha).

Batch? I don't know, but Kitna was the best option...

It'll be interesting to see if he even considers the Lions now.

How does 79-3 sound?

Okay, so that was a bad loss in Utah.

The technical foul monster got the best of the Stones again. I'm glad we don't have to watch horrible games like that as often as we did last year.

Maybe it would have been best for the Pistons to fall behind early and then make their run at the end instead of vice versa.

Still, why isn't Flip using the bench??

Ben Wallace is tough to pull out of a game, but tonight he simply didn't have it and he got frustrated in a hurry.

Might as well stick Dale Davis in there, he could have at least boxed out Kirilenko and Okur and Jarron Collins.

This happens every year with Ben getting nicked up, and it's Flip's job to tell him when he doesn't have it.

Still, we obviously can't complain with 15-3. It's been a brutal schedule thus far.

Back to the Palace...
