Ford Jr would fire Millen

In 2007, Jon Kitna made a 10-win guarantee and everyone thought he was crazy. After a 6-2 start, some thought it might have happened until they fell apart in the 2nd half to finish the year 7-9.

In 2008, Kitna slightly softened his "guarantee" by saying he would be "disappointed" if Detroit didn't win 10 games. After picking up where they left off at the end of 2007, the Lions have started 0-3 and have given up 113 points in 3 games, 2nd worst only to St. Louis (116 points).

Now, Bill Ford Jr. says he would fire GM/President Matt Millen:

It didn't take long for things to get ugly in Detroit. Today's brutal public comments from vice chairman Bill Ford Jr. -- who said he would have fired president/general manager Matt Millen today if he had the authority -- opens up a can of worms no one thought would be exposed this early in the season.

Ford Jr.'s father, William Clay Ford, runs the team and has been intensely loyal to Millen through seven losing seasons. The younger Ford, however, has made several strong comments this year about his expectations for the team -- making clear he believes Millen and coach Rod Marinelli have been given everything they asked for to build a winner.

I agree with Ford Jr. And they only Kitna and the Lions win 10 games in 2008 is if the NFL intervenes and modifies the 2008 schedule so that the Lions play the Rams every week for the rest of the year.

Bulgaria loses 82-0 in womens ice hockey

Sportsmanship is alive and well. In a pre-qualifying match, the Slovakian womens ice hockey team shut out the Bulgarian team. But it wasn't a defensive struggle. The Slovaks scored 82 times on their Bulgarian opponents after leading 31-0 at the first intermission.

Bulgaria trailed 7-0 after 5 minutes, 19-0 after 10 and 31-0 at the end of the first period.

The drubbing capped a woeful showing for the Bulgarian women, who also lost 30-1 to Croatia and 41-0 to Italy in earlier games.

If it's any consolation, the article said that Thailand once lost 92-0.
