Charlie Batch thanks Matt Millen for cutting him from Detroit Lions
PHOENIX -- It's easy to forget just how promising Charlie Batch's career began with the Detroit Lions.
He started 12 games as a rookie quarterback in 1998. He helped lead the Lions to the playoffs in 1999, and led them to the brink of the playoffs in 2000 before succumbing to injury in the regular-season finale.
The Lions ended up losing on a last-second field goal by Chicago's Paul Edinger. They missed the playoffs.
Then they hired Matt Millen.
And Batch's career was never the same.
Millen immediately began cleaning house, and a year later, Batch joined waves of former teammates to be released by the team's new president and CEO.
Years later, Batch is a fan of the Lions organization. But he's no fan of Millen's.
