I beleive that the NFL has a once in a lifetime shot of accomplishingsomething incrediable this year. To have not 1 but 2 teams go 0 - 16 would be monumental. In this day and age of the NFL parity league when any team on any given day can beat another the 2008 season brings us the Cincinnati Bengals and the Detroit Lions.
I know that it is probably just wishful thinking but to have two 0-16 teams would be the highlight of my 34 years as a fan of the NFL. It serves Roger Goodell right to have such futility in his league of overpaid whiners. I am sure that Rog would institute about 100 new rules in the offseason to prevent this from happening again. Rules such as the Bengals and Lions get an extra 3 timeouts per half and unlimited challenges, Bengal and lions QB's get to wear those silly skull caps over their helmets and they are untouchable, (techniqually this has already happened league wide).
This really boils down to who is going to be able to lay claim to truely being the absolute worst of the worst come seasons end. I am praying to the Gods of football Paul Brown, and Woody Hayes that this feat can be realized by both franchises. That being said if we do have to defeated's I think that we need to honor each of these teams by a playing game to determin who would get the opportunity to ruin the number 1 pick in the 2009 drafts career. This could easily work into the week before the Super Bowl.
If this idea is not embraced by the NFL we could always go with the FIGHT TO THE DEATH match between Mike Brown and William Ford Sr..

That's a sweet deal! I'm actually going to be looking to come back home to the Nati in a few years.
