Re: tOfficial Detroit Lions Thread: Sheila ain't fucking around
It’s pretty fucked for all of us that Martha dying impacts the amount that we collect in taxes from them upon the Ford’s selling the team. The bill should have to be collected, death or no.

Re: tOfficial Detroit Lions Thread: Sheila ain't fucking around
It’s mentioned in the article but apparently the reason they don’t want to sell is that if she sold now she’d have a huge capital gains tax to pay since they bought they team for like $15 and a sack of potatoes in 1962 or whatever. If she dies then her heirs sold the team, I’m not exactly sure how it works of the top of my head, but that taxable amount is significantly reduced.
So anyone buying the team now would probably have to pony up extra to cover that bill vs what they would need to do if they waited until a 90 something year old died. I argue that I don’t really care if she dies or not and that the capital gains should have to be paid regardless since we have roads to fix and shit. And also they could sell the team faster if they pay the bill regardless

Please, Fords do the right thing and get the deal done. Screw the taxes stuff you guys have plenty of money and owe it to the state for all the suffering and incompetence.

So kind of Lions related but the Vikings need to win out and need the Lions to beat the Packers last game of the year to win the central. I do think the Vikings have a decent shot of beating the Packers but no way in hell the Packers lose to the Lions. I think Greenbay is a lock to win the division even if the Vikings win their next two games.

Packers have never won at the Vikings US Bank field. Cousins has never won on Monday night. Something has to give.

I think the Cousins MNF narrative is a lazy one. He played a good chunk of his slump at Washington which is a dumpster fire. I watched the entire game vs Seattle. That third quarter the entire team stunk it up. Also, when they had a chance to play for the tie the kicker missed the extra point making it a 4 point lead which changed the dynamic of the Vikings final drive. I like the Vikings chances to win vs Greenbay but it doesn't matter after that because Greenbay will take care of business vs the Lions.

I still can't believe that we had a coach that was actually able to have a winning record in Detroit and we canned him for this bozo. I swear I could run the Lions better than Quinn and I don't even watch that many games.

Careful, Floyd. Just because Travis works at the Frandor Cash Advance store doesn’t make him a tax genius. You’re getting hoodwinked.

Re: tOfficial Detroit Lions Thread: Sheila ain't fucking around
Here’s my question about Patricia:
What is it about him that turns off so many players? A recent article quotes a former Lion whose name I don’t recognize, and there’s a lot of descriptive words tossed about, but very little in the way of examples, aside from Patricia being late to meetings all the time. The best writing advice I ever got from an MSU JRN instructor was show, don’t tell, and all we’ve ever gotten from the Lions’ beat writers and others is he’s a bad coach. Rarely are there examples.
BTW, I also thought the article below was interesting in that the ex Lion says Patricia’s approach would do well on college kids. Maybe the guy’s future is at some university.

“The greatest coach, in my opinion, in the NFL of the coaches I know,” Valles said. “And the best player’s coach of anyone. I know the fans might not feel that way, but, man, Caldwell was unreal as a coach, to say the least.”

Absolutely no idea. As bad as the Lions have stunk it up in my lifetime, I’m pretty much nose-blind.

I hope he has replacements already lined up. Might be difficult convincing top assistants to come coach for a guy who has been told to win or say adios.

The Lions fired strength coach Harold Nash, special-teams coordinator John Bonamego and four other assistants Tuesday as they start what could be a significant offseason makeover.
Along with Nash and Bonamego, defensive backs coach Brian Stewart, linebackers coach Al Golden, tight ends coach Chris White and assistant strength coach Rodney Hill were let go Tuesday.
Defensive coordinator Paul Pasqualoni remains on staff.

Things that make me go “Hmmm...”
”As for the strength and conditioning staff, the writing was on the wall after both Patricia and general manager Bob Quinn highlighted the number of injuries the Lions dealt with during the 2019 season, including 16 players finishing the year on injured reserve.
‘We had a lot of injuries this year, and we have to look at that and see what happened there, and see where we can get better,’ Quinn said on Monday.”

PP's contract was up, so he wasn't "fired." Big surprise, moron NFL writers don't get the distinction.

I would hazard a guess that most get the distinction, but don’t want to upset those in charge and lose their access, thus actually having to work for their stories.
