Someone Needs Help

A slight digression from the important 2A issues:

It looks like the owner of the worst record in professional sports history - that would be Matt Millen, CEO and President and defacto GM of the worthless Detroit Lions - needs some help.

I'm not into masochism, but you might think I am since I am a Lions fan. Over the last six painful years, the lions (small 'l' intentional) have posted a 24-72 record. Not too good. We've gone through 4 coaches, wasted draft picks... who cares about the details? The good news is this: Matt Millen is reaching out for help. And it is time for all loyal Lions fans to help him. From the Lions website:

With less than two weeks remaining until the 2007 NFL Draft, Detroitlions.com is holding the 2nd Annual Detroitlions.com Fan Mock Draft!

The mock draft will give Detroit Lions fans the opportunity to cast votes and choose first-round selections for their hometown Lions as well as other NFL teams.

To begin the 2007 mock draft, Detroitlions.com is asking fans to cast their vote for what they think the Lions should do with their first-round selection (second overall): choose a player with the No. 2-overall selection or trade the pick to another team.

If fans vote that the Lions should select a player with the No. 2-overall selection, Detroitlions.com will open voting for the mock draft and the Oakland Raiders will be on the clock.

If fans vote that the Lions should trade the No. 2-overall selection, Detroitlions.com will ask fans to vote on which draft position Detroit should trade to.

Voting is currently open. Fans can vote until 9 a.m. ET Wednesday (April 18).
