MATT MILLEN IS CERTIFIABLY INSANE

Just when you thought Matt Millen couldn't get any dumber after recent news he will be spending $28 million on wide receivers with 16 of them on the payroll, The Atlanta Journal Constitution is reporting the Detroit Lions have signed former Georgia Tech QB Reggie Ball to a one-year deal to - you guessed it - play wide receiver.

Yeah, yeah - we know Ball is just training camp fodder. But shouldn't Millen be spending his time finding players that can actually fill one of the many holes on this team?

Our guess is Millen is just trying to ease the transition for Calvin Johnson into the NFL. But seeing as Ball was the only guy that could stop Johnson last year, we think it'd hurt if anything.

Ball is a camp fodder just like about 10 other WR's on the roster currently. All NFL teams load up on skill players for camp. Ball is also being brought in for a few weeks to help ease Calvin Johnson's transition to the NFL. It's not that difficult to figure out.

Ball is just a training camp guy, he'll get cut before the season.

Ball is a skill player? Since when?

Ball has been a skill player since the time NFL scouts realized he throws a football like most people skip rocks across a lake.
