All the fair-weathers want...I couldn't agree more. All the fair-weathers want to win now. I would love to see the Lions win now, but there has to be a building process.<BR/><BR/>And the key to any good building is its foundation. Lomas hit on it, and we've all preached it. Now, the next step needs to be growing that plan, and being given the time to grow that plan.<BR/><BR/>When Sparky Anderson came to the Tigers, he had a five year plan. It came to fruition earlier than expected, but the ownership understood that the development of what he was trying to accomplish wasn't going to happen overnight. Tom Monaghan gave Sparky the openness and opportunity to try painting his picture.<BR/><BR/>This is essentially what Ford has done, here, too. And it will work. Player for player, you CANNOT convince me that the New York football Giants were the best team in the league this year.<BR/><BR/>They got hot at the right time, and they trusted each other. Coughlin let off a little in camp, and the garden grew. Down the stretch, they believed in T.O.D., and used the "world is against us" mentality.<BR/><BR/>-nubsAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8276344251743982154.post-53284538490520581862008-05-29T08:28:00.000-04:002008-05-29T08:28:00.000-04:00We have been saying it now a former Lions possibly...We have been saying it now a former Lions possibly soon to be hall of famer is sayinig it....HMMM Maybe we are on the right track.Patrickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16140201494383877984noreply@blogger.com
