Detroit Free Press: RW trade question makes Millen giggle

[ABQCOWBOY]

You surrender faster than France.

"For Sale, French Made FAMES S 5.56MM Assault Rifle. Never shot, dropped only once."

Pretty funny stuff Hos.

 

[ABQCOWBOY]

The funniest thing about the whole Mongo schtick is that Alex Karras who played Mongo was a Detroit Lion.

I know. that's the whole kicker for me. I'm laughing a good 5 minutes here and everybody in my office thinks I'm crazy.

Mongo is a millionaire ex NFL player who now runs an NFL franchise further into the ground...Mongo mmust be doing something right...

Fixed that for you.

Well, he was in one of the funniest movies of all time. I mean, there will always be that.

 

[Sarge]

I think it's a "chips fall where they may" deal......no one knows, I mean NO ONE. There have been discussions for certain, but this all depends on how things fall............or don't..........

 

[Chocolate Lab]

That not make Mongo laugh, that make Mongo cry.

:laugh2:

But then Mongo look at paychecks from last seven years and laugh again. :

Jerry: What will you take for Roy Williams?

Millen: He's not for sale.

Jerry: Come on, everyone's for sale at the right price. What about #22 straight up for RW?

Millen: A late first round draft pick for a 27 year old with All Pro potential? Don't insult me.

Jerry: Fine. Talk to you later.

Millen: Wait. Hang on. Let's not be rash here. How about #28?

Jerry: #28? Please. I might be willing to go as high as a 2nd rounder.

Millen: Make it a 3rd rounder and you got yourself a deal.

I feel real good about our draft. I mean, if we stick to best player, I don't see how we can lose. If we don't draft for positions but draft BPA, then we are going to get good football players IMO. If we take best player, the positions of need, for us are deep. CB is deep. WR is deep. OL is deep. Those are three key positions that we have an excellent chance of getting good players later in the draft if we don't take them in the 1st. We have enough to move up if we want. We are sitting at exactly the right spot to trade down and get more value if we want.

I just like our situation.

And what would you say if Mayo or a D-Linemen is the BPA at one of our picks in the first and we take them.:

 

[AsthmaField]

"So you're saying there's a chance...!"

 

[Nav22]

funny stuff.....guess we can x that option off

Are you serious? You think Millen laughing BUT NOT ANSWERING THE QUESTION means it's a definite "no way"?

You must be very new to how these front office types communicate to the media.

Me personally, I'd say take Mayo immediatly and don't worry about it. I'd probably say the same thing about the DL. I'm a big believer in the fact that you need to have three dominant Pass Rushers on the field to be a great defense. We have three pretty good ones but two of them play the same position. I think we need another from the DE spot or better yet, NT. I would not be upset at all. Of course, if the team elected to trade down, that would also be OK if they found a good trade.

What would I think if it were Mayo? Was that some sort of trick question?

:laugh2:

 

[TheCount]

It's time to settle this once and for all...

"Will we acquire Roy Williams in the upcoming draft?"

So there you have it. Can we move on now?

 

[LittleBoyBlue]

Really, what's funny (or interesting) is that he wouldn't answer the question.

Which makes me believe that he and Jerry have a deal on the horizon.

 

[jobberone]

Mongo doesn't know, Mongo is only pawn in game of life.

LOL. That likely went over just about everyone's head. Now that was a player.
