Lions should not retire Corey Smith (RIP)'s number...?

As a closet Lion's fan, I want you to know I agree. Could this be a desperate marketing move for attention? Ticket sales are in jeopardy due to the local economy and 0-16 record. Before you are quick to judge my post, please remember this is a multi billion dollar industry. You may be kidding yourself if you think that free publicity doesn't carry significant value to corporations.
