If this was a scene from "Valkyrie" I'll be hearing this dialog when the scene plays. O/W what was it originally from?

But not the first team to go 0-season--that honor still belongs to the '76 Carolina Panthers. Now that team was castoffs, rejects and well-over-the hill players but still... The Lions still have a chance (slim but existing) to get off the schneid. We'll see. The Ford Motor Company great new products to the contrary ain't doing so well either.

The footage is from the film "Downfall," which I HIGHLY recommend.

Typically WWII stuff turns my stomach (literally I once threw up in Poland!) but this movie is EXCELLENT. It stars the always wonderful Bruno Ganz as Hitler and he studied both his mannerisms and psychological profile deeply. I'd say that if you want to spend a few hours with ol' Adolf, check out this flick and the chapter on him in Fromm's "The Anatomy of Human Destructiveness." Killer stuff.

The video is funny, of course.

It was the Tampa Bay Bucs (Panthers did not enter the league until 1996, I believe) but yes they were truly terrible, worse than these Lions who really are not much worse than last year's Dolphins.

But to be fair the Bucs didn't get two extra shots (the Phins were 0-13, they got close) and even though I HIGHLY doubt that would have mattered, they were an expansion franchise in an era where expansion rosters were pretty ragtag. They didn't have a proper expansion draft or any sort of preferred standing in the amateur draft like they do today, I mean that roster was utterly talentless (despite, oddly, two Heisman winners turned junk pros on the roster).

In other words, they were worse than the Lions, but they had an excuse. What is Detroit's plea? That they have run their organization on a firm basis on nepotism, incompetence and taking their fan base for granted?

Brother WtS had it right of course-- my bad. Wasn't there also a team that went 0-season with a tie in a strike-shortened season? That doesn't really count 'cuz if the full season had been played, they might have won 1.
