Sea change.

Yes there is sea change over in Allen Park/Royal Oak/Detroit.
Joey Harrington is likely an endangered species who will be released from the Detroit Zoo.

In a move that likely augurs the imminent departure of starting quarterback Joey Harrington after four disappointing seasons, ESPN.com has learned that the Detroit Lions on Thursday signed unrestricted free agent Josh McCown, who had played his entire career with the Arizona Cardinals.

McCown, 26, signed a two-year contract worth $6 million, a deal that will pay him $4 million in 2006 between his signing bonus and base salary. The addition of McCown comes just two days after Detroit signed former Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Jon Kitna to a four-year, $11.5 million contract that has a signing bonus of $3.5 million.

It's really a shame. Joey has been in a bad situation for 4 years. The coaches never put enough trust in him or the long ball. I await this season with hope as usual, but I will mourn the loss of the prettiest quarterback in football.
