This is a couple days old but bears worth repeating. I have no visual evidence, but if ProFootballTalk's report is true (and there's no reason to believe otherwise), then the Lions are in even more trouble than originally thought.

During Tuesday's press conference in which new team president Tom Lewand met with the media, he mistakenly stated that Mike Tomlin came from Tampa Bay, mistook Joey Porter for "Greg Lloyd" and lauded the Falcons for their key free agent acquisition "Michael Bennett."

I don't care if he's not a "football guy." This is almost as crazy as someone running for Vice President of the United States not knowing Africa was a continent. But not quite. In all seriousness, Greg Lloyd hasn't been in the league since 1998, Porter had the second most sacks (17.5) this year and is about as big of a loudmouth there is in football, and Michael Turner finished second in the NFL with 1,699 rushing yards – hardly esoteric names here.

This wasn't one slip of the tongue – it was clear evidence the Lions' new president doesn't quite seem like someone fit to turnaround a franchise that just finished 0-16. It's like when the rich get richer. Only the opposite.
