Ford is a lot of things, but cheap is not one of them. How else could you explain giving Marriucci that King Kong contract, or Millen an extension after 4 losing seasons? The Lions spend up to the cap limit every season. The problem is that ford wouldn't know a "football man" if he kicked him in the ass. Just look at the list of GM's since Ford took ownership. The NFL needs to step in and help him with this decision.
