Pro Bowl (AFC or NFC?)
[edit]I tentatively added the AFC Pro Bowl player category, because I am 99 percent sure he was an LA Raider when he went. PAWiki 01:50, 18 August 2006 (UTC)
Lions Record
[edit]I don't mind updating statistics, but there needs to be a cite for such statistics. If you want to update the stats for Millen's record, please find an article that includes the record. See WP:OR for more information. -- Tmassey 02:44, 5 December 2006 (UTC)
Non-football?
[edit]In the "Fire Millen" section it says the slogan has been heard at "non-football events including the NBA, NHL, NFL." How is the NFL non-football? SuperToad64 19:55, 13 December 2006 (UTC)
- Good point. I'll look at it. -- Tmassey 17:49, 26 December 2006 (UTC)
- If no one's got a problem with this, I'm gonna delete this section from the talk page. -- Tmassey 20:52, 30 December 2006 (UTC)
Millen is trash
[edit]There really needs to be more anti-Millen content in this article. As it stands, it doesn't convey the breadth and depth of his incompetence, or the amount of disgust towards him in Detroit. 68.255.242.170 11:25, 26 December 2006 (UTC)
- I'm not sure that many people who read this article would disagree. However, this is an encyclopedia. That's what Sports Talk Radio is for... -- Tmassey 17:49, 26 December 2006 (UTC)
What about the comment he made in 1994 in an Green Bay packer/New Orleans Saints game, when he stated that Packers guard Tootie Robbins had "the most expansive rectum in the NFL", referring to his girth.
I would like to submit my site url, [1], for addition in the anti-millen links category. My site offers an online petition to have millen fired which is quarterly submitted to all manor of sporting news companies and the Detroit Lions franchise. Thank You.--Hankphone 22:34, 6 March 2007 (UTC)
Car Dealership
[edit]How come there is no mention of his car dealership? http://www.teamlehighton.com/welcome.html Fisha695 02:25, 13 October 2007 (UTC)
Would you buy a used car from this man ? :D —Preceding unsigned comment added by 96.255.107.88 (talk) 22:32, 14 September 2008 (UTC)
Much of this article is not neutral
[edit]I know Millen has been so incompetent that it is difficult for many people to remain neutral when talking about him, but if you can't be neutral you shouldn't be writing here. Let's try to stick to the facts, and if you have something negative to add please cite your source. 72.177.43.226 (talk) 01:13, 23 September 2008 (UTC)
Bill Ford Jr
[edit]Shouldn't something be included in this article about how William Clay Ford, Jr called for Millen's firing? Karrmann (talk) 22:57, 23 September 2008 (UTC)
Millen Fired?
[edit]Millen might've been fired by Ford, Sr. http://msn.foxsports.com/nfl/story/8601458/Millen-out-as-Lions-president,-GM 98.243.26.174 98.243.26.174 (talk) 14:29, 24 September 2008 (UTC)
Jerry Sandusky
[edit]Probably time to mention that Millen was on the board of Second Mile, and thus was one of the people who were award of the allegations against Sandusky and yet allowed him to continue to work with kids. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 166.102.0.109 (talk) 21:51, 9 November 2011 (UTC)
Error
[edit]Wrong spot for this but anyway Millen was NOT a linebacker at Penn State he was a defensive tackle along with Bruce Clarke. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 108.45.74.14 (talk • contribs) 03:44, 29 September 2011 (UTC)
- I have fixed this and added a reference. Eagles 24/7 (C) 03:53, 29 September 2011 (UTC)
0-16
[edit]Why no mention of the infamous 0-16 Lions season under Millan?Zdawg1029 (talk) 01:07, 8 October 2013 (UTC)
