Will Throw for Food

When Mike Martz became the offensive co-ordinator for the Detroit Lions, he expressed his admiration for Joey Harrington, the team's embattled quarterback and the third overall selection in the 2002 draft. If anyone can salvage Joey Harrington's career, observers said, it is Mike Martz, who has been able to make the likes of Kurt Warner and Marc Bulger look good.

Apparently now he won't have the chance. The Lions currently have five quarterbacks on the roster: Harrington, Dan Orlovsky, Shaun King, John Kitna, and now Josh McCown. Each new arrival pushes Harrington a litle closer to the exit. Rumors have circulated that Harrington asked to be released; ESPN.com reports that the team was less enamoured of Harrington than they led us to believe. Regardless of who said what to whom, Harrington is done.

And who could help Harrington to revive his career? Who could work such magic?

Umm... Mike Martz? Oh, wait. Maybe Harrington can crash on Akili Smith's couch.
