Figured something would happen eventually

After an 0-16 season for football's Detroit Lions, I'd expect some interesting things to happen in the aftermath. Such as...
  1. 1. Firing the coach. Already done - the day after the end of the season. I understand a new coach was hired this week. He has a chance, simply because his last name doesn't start with the letter "M".
  2. 2. Everyone else tries to pin the blame on everybody else. A growing number of fans want to pin the blame on team owner William Clay Ford, an owner who since buying the team in the 60's has won only 1 playoff game and who many feel is out of touch with football in general.

This is obviously the thinking behind the top billboard in this picture. The message is clear from these people - Mr. Ford, please sell the team to someone who knows what the heck they're doing. And no I haven't checked out the website. I don't know how many of these billboards are around the state, but I first found this one a week-and-a-half ago on M-20 between 7- & 8- Mile Roads in western Midland County
