PrintThere are a few interesting things going on around the league this morning:
New York Giants wide receiver Plaxico Burress has been suspended 2 weeks by the team for an undisclosed violation of team rules. He didn't show up at the facility on Monday. I wonder if there was a man hunt for him.
The Detroit Lions have finally fired Matt Millen. The real news here is trying to figure out why it took them so long. Question for discussion below: Of the Raiders, the Cardinals, and the Lions, which is the most poorly run NFL franchise?
The St. Louis Rams have decided to bench Marc Bulger in favor of Trent Green. Glad Green is finally getting his shot in St. Louis.
This afternoon we will finish up the film review from Sunday and start to look at the Vikings. We have 2 blogs to do 5 questions with about the Vikings, so please continue to suggest questions for me to ask.

Hard to answer
You have the Raiders, which just suck out loud, then you have two potentially good teams that manage to under achieve every year.
The Raiders problem is the owner, no way around it. Detriot’s was Millen. I mean, how many head coaches do you need to fire before you figure out the problem is elsewhere?
Arizona? I wish I knew, but for a franchise that is the oldest in pro football (and second-oldest in the NFL), it’s a pity they can’t get their act together.
It’s almost like they were created to be the Bear’s whipping boy, kinda like the Harlem Globetrotters and the Washington Generals.
Of the Raiders, the Cardinals, and the Lions, which is the most poorly run NFL franchise?
I’ll go off the board for $200, Alex.
The RAMS are by far and away the worst-run franchise in the NFL. This was not true five years ago, but the last 2-3 years have been absolutely brutal, and it seems like it’s gonna get worse before it gets better. And really, the very, very BAD thing about starting Trent Green is that he now becomes the NFL Player Most Likely To Die On The Field.
Simple math: Multiple Concussions With Lingering Symptoms + Old Guy Who Doesn’t Scramble + Bad O-Line = Potential Tragedy.
After that: Lions, BENGALS, Raiders, and then, finally, the Cardinals.

Go Titans!
Crap. I forgot the Chiefs. They ought to be ahead of the Bengals and probably ahead of the Lions.

Great question!
Historically, I vote for the Cardinals… at least the Lions had Barry Sanders and always played in a professional stadium.
Right now I’d say the Raiders, just because their problems start at the top, and Davis’ hands are on everything… the Rams and Chiefs lack the goods on the field, but the Raiders actively ruin the talent they have.

Didn't show-up at all for practice Monday, then didn't offer a good excuse.
