Fire Millen 3:16

Matt Millen has had trouble since he took over running the Detroit Lions. The fans in Detroit have had enough, and they want him out. Mads, my Norwegian companion, and I were at an Arena Football game, and the guy next to us was holding up a sign that read "Fire Millen 3:16". I've never seen anything like it.

"You know," Mads said. "We could start one of those campaigns for Danny Ainge."

"Fire Ainge 3:16? It's sassy, it's brassy, a real musical humdinger. I like it, make it shorter, I'll buy it."

So when we got back to Boston, we made up a sign and stood in Harvard square. Tommy Heinsohn walked up to us. He had one single tear drop from his eye. Mads and I felt bad, so we tore up the sign and went home.
