Detroit Lions fans-Harrington is GONE!
http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=2376833

ALLEN PARK, Mich. -- The Detroit Lions are parting ways with Joey Harrington after four turbulent seasons in which the former third overall draft pick went from franchise savior to fans' scourge.

Although he declined to say whether Harrington had been released, coach Rod Marinelli told reporters Monday: "We've made a decision to move on."

"At this moment, he's not with us," Marinelli said. "That's been my decision."


Harrington will be replaced by either Jon Kitna or Josh McCown, both former starters signed who agreed to terms in the last week.

The Lions already have under contract former Tampa Bay and Arizona starter Shaun King and second-year man Dan Orlovsky.

1. I feel sorry for the guy. Never did get too much support

(Ok, other than the 4 wide recievers taken in the draft). I think when Dre' Bly started yapping that was enough for Joey. I hope he catches on with another team and does well.

I'd still rather have Joey than Jon Kitna though...something about a fundy that just drives me crazy...

2. Correction - 4 HEAD CASES, not receivers
I, for one, do not want that Jesus freak Jon Kitna running the Lions. Is John Navarre or Brian Griese available?

3. LOL - Very true. What a waste of talent that Roger's kid has been

Sad really. The William's just don't seem to have the desire to improve and compete at this level.

I second your opinion on Kitna. The fact he is so insanely religious just adds to my dislike of this guy. It's funny when you think about it - How did Seattle do when they gave up on Kitna? How about the Bengals? Must we always take the re-treads and players other teams have given up on? Shaun King? WTF?

5. Shaun King went to an NFC Championship Game.

So, that makes him a proven winner or something.

:sarcasm:

4. It's Everybody's Fault Except for Matt Millen
First, it's the coaches' fault. Now, it's the QB's fault. It's everyone's fault except for Matt Millen's. Wow.

6. Joey is TERRIBLE. I hope the Cowboys sign him too.
