Detroit Free Press on Stafford

This is a brutal look at what Matthew Stafford faces as he enters the draft.  The possibility of playing for the Detroit Lions is an overwhelmingly depressing proposition.  Per the article:

"Stafford didn't realize it when he sat before television cameras in Athens, Ga., Wednesday, but he sadly endorsed his professional football death warrant.

When the junior Georgia quarterback declared for the NFL draft, he basically told the Lions, 'Take me, I'm yours' — a submission that, if history serves as an accurate barometer, might cost him his sanity as well as his self-confidence."

The good news is that Matt Millen is no longer in charge of the Detroit franchise. With Millen gone, there is a chance that he hasn't signed up for heart break.  The other good news...the Falcons and Dolphins looked almost as terminally broken this time last year.
