2001 Lions lose out again: They're not among NFL's all-time worst
FREE PRESS NEWS SERVICES • June 8, 2008

The voting isn't over yet, but it looks like the Detroit Lions are safe.


USA Today is asking readers to vote for the worst NFL team of all time, and the lowly 2001 Lions aren't in the running for the dubious honor.

The Lions finished that season 2-14. After losing their first 12 games, they went 2-2 in their last four, sparing them a place among history's most inept. Believe it or not, there was one team even more lame that season -- the Carolina Panthers finished 1-15.

The voting continues through today, June 8, but so far the 1976 0-14 Tampa Bay Buccaneers are a strong candidate for the unwanted distinction.



MY THOUGHTS
All I can say is, THANK GOODNESS. We do not need that kind of award.
