Joey can see the light

...at the end of the tunnel, and it comes out to a beach. South Beach in fact. After playing 4 years with an organization that let the inmates run the asylum Joey has declared that Miami is his one and only destination. So, unless a team like Denver wants to take on his remaining contract, the Lions can either just end it now and take a 6th round pick next year or a 7th this year. That, or wait until June and cut him for which they will receive nothing. While this news has just been released, it is interesting to read some of the backlash of the anti Joey fans. Calling this 'classless', 'showing his true colors'. I don't know about them, but if you were in Joey's position, for four years, I'm guessing most would have broken down and gone Columbine in the locker room years before. The Lions told Joey to give them a list of teams. He did. The organization has had three months to work a deal, and while he may be worth a day one pick, no team will give one for him because they know he will be released in the end. Frankly, with the Bengals signing of Wright today, there are really only one or two teams left. Make the trade, move on, let Joey do the same.
