When I read this yesterday (from this article),:
FOXSports.com has learned that Culpepper told the Chiefs on Monday that he has a better opportunity with another team and was thus going to cancel his Tuesday visit. It’s not clear which team, if any, he was referring to, but that was the last straw for the Chiefs as they have now completely moved on.
…I was 99% sure that the mystery team involved in NO WAY could have been my beloved Detroit Lions, but in the back of my mind, I couldn’t outright dismiss the notion, no matter how counterintuitive the move may seem. This is why. As it turns out, you can take the Millen out of the team, but you can never take the team out of the Millen (or something like that).
Daunte’s stints with Oakland and Miami, along with his wishy-washy, delusional “I’m not unwanted, I’m retired!” fits, should be all the workouts the 32 teams in the NFL need. He’s not good. He’s barely even adequate. And he does that stupid rolling forearm crap. I mean, I’m already in full-on tank mode as far as the 2008 season is concerned, so if he wants to stroll in to Motown and sex cruise the ball around the field for the final nine games, so be it. But it seems Culpepper is looking for a contract that goes beyond this season, and the Lions are one of the few teams (and perhaps even the ONLY) who would do something as mindless as this. Fuck, if were going to roll the dice on a QB, I’d rather give this idea a whirl. The last thing I want to see is Michael Oher protecting Culpepper’s blindside in ‘09.
