It’s Year 3 of Matt Patricia reign as head coach of the Detroit Lions, and it appears for the third straight year, he we will be sporting a last-place team into December. As pointed out by MLive’s Kyle Meinke, the Lions have literally not spent a single day out of last place in the month of December under Patricia, and a loss on Thursday would almost certainly cement that for another year.
As playoff odds now fade away well beyond the realm of realism, focus turns to the fate of both Patricia and general manager Bob Quinn. Though we have yet to hear a single thing from owner Sheila Ford Hamp, most of us believe at this point that it’s not a matter of if but when.
The oddsmakers over in Vegas seem to agree, as Patricia now his the shortest odds to become the next NFL head coach to be fired. Check it out.

- I’m ending today’s notes asking for a little help from you all. Our own Jerry Mallory is involved in a contest being run by iHeartRadio for “The Next Great Podcast.” This week, his podcast pilot dropped, entitled “438: The Original Social Media.” It’s an amazing story told by Jerry and produced by our own Chris Perfett.
In it, he describes an amazing cultural phenomenon that was wildly popular in the 90s, yet I had no idea it existed: wrestling news call-in hotlines. Jerry narrates what, on the surface, was an amazing place for young people to get together, make new friends, and share a hobby during an internet-less culture. But at the center of it all was a predator luring in young children.
Please take a listen to this true story and vote for Jerry so that he can continue to tell his tale.
