...losing 31-21 in Green Bay on Sunday, they go down as the worst NFL team ever. Only the 1976 Tampa Bay Buccaneers had previously finished a year without a win, but they did it in an era when teams played 14, not 16, regular-season games. Plus, those Bucs were an expansion team in their first year of existence; the Lions have been around since the Great Depression, which for their fans hasn't really ended. In fact, the Lions, who haven't had a winning season since 2000, have just finished off the NFL's worst eight-year...

...recognize that Klein leans a bit to the left, his column shows a stunning lack of perception. To paraphrase a political line from the past, "It's the security of the people, stupid." This President, like all Presidents, has his faults, but the economic results of a decade-plus of putting people into homes everyone knew they could not afford - and then having the whole house of cards fall - is not as much his fault as it is his responsibility, because of the timing of the event.
