The Detroit Lions have made losing an art form, but somehow in the midst of all that mediocrity, they have still fielded some outstanding players.

Barry Sanders and Calvin Johnson are two of the game’s transcendent players that were eaten up by this sad-sack franchise. Now we can add one more name to the list; Matthew Stafford.

In breaking news yesterday, it was revealed that Matthew Stafford and new Lions general manager Brad Holmes, as well as new head coach Dan Campbell, decided that it would be in both party’s best interests to part ways.
