  • MM,

    He has me fooled.

    He was actually recently quoted as saying he has no idea whats going on with the Lions based on how busy he's been with his auto co. duties.

    I didn't see him refute the printed quote.

    • Of course I could be wrong, but I believe Jr. is still heavily involved in the day-to-day operations of Ford, even though he is no longer the CEO.

      Personally, I think he stepped down as CEO and brought in a "face" to run the company, while he handles a lot of the backroom dirty details that he couldn't touch as the CEO.

        I understood. I was just making a statement to those who equate the way the Lions are run to the way FOMOCO is run. Jr. is running FOMOCO and they are the strongest of the big three as a result.

        He has no reason to refute the statement. He has his hands full with FOMOCO and the fruit of his labor from the past several years is now apparent since he was able to keep his company above water without taxpayer monies. Their products are also being touted for quality and innovation.

        He still has an interest in the Lions but like you and I watch from a distance as he has other axes to grind......

        Mostly correct. The new CEO also had experience in turning around an industry that had high labor costs and was considered to be instrumental to the economy of the area which it did business in and he was able to prevent a total collapse buy reinventing his industry. It is that kind of forward thinking that he was tapped to take Jrs. position.
        I long for a Lions team that is consistently competitive.

          Landing tix to see BILL BURR at the Brea Improv, Friday, Feb. 19 makes my day.

                        Hey pops!

                        Hope all is well down under for everyone.

                        Sounds like it is.

                        Btw, I just took my little girl up to Top of the World and snapped a few photos on a rainy day.

                        Interested in me emailing you a photo from that spot we checked out?
