- During the 2006 NFL Thanksgiving early game between the Miami Dolphins and Detroit Lions, Joey Harrington was returning to Ford Field to take on his old team, and to face a team and a fan base that ran him out of town. Harrington responded by putting on the game of his life, throwing three touchdown passes in a win, and even receiving admiration from Billy Joel of all people. This is the story behind Joey Harrington's iconic Thanksgiving game

I'm a Lions fan, and I was happy for Joey. He was put into a situation where he couldn't succeed. Remember that Millen drafted him against the wishes of his new hand-picked Steve Mariucci substitute Marty "The Bar Is High" Mornhinwieg, who fancied himself a Star QB-maker extraordinaire, and thought that he could make Mike McMahon into the next Jeff Garcia. Joey was drafted into an org. that was adopting the West Coast offense at a time when the rest of the league was moving away from it, and was a far cry from Oregon's offensive scheme. The guy was brought in to be the face of the franchise, and he tried his best. It was great to see Dre Bly eat his words, and I liked Bly.
You make a fair point, Matt Millen was possibly the worst GM in NFL history.
We also had the worst offensive line in the league. He got sacked 60 times his rookie year i believe. All we did was draft wrs for years and only one was elite. The guy didnt stand a chance
Thanks, as a Duck. No matter his failings, Detroit used him as a scapegoat, and that is not unusual for a team, but the lowlights with the Piano Man revealed who the true losers really were. Joey was absolute entertainment at Oregon.
True, Harrington was an excellent college QB.
One of those amazing college QBs who could not translate that into NFL success. So hard to pick which QBs can do this
@@GR-bn3xj I think he could have been great had he landed on a team willing to tailor their offense around his strengths. Unfortunately, Joey was a square peg in a round hole in Detroit. He wasn't suited for a West Coast Offense system and the Lions' coaches were too stubborn to realize this and adapt. One rule has always been true, in life and in football: Adapt or die. If you don't change things up when what you're doing isn't working, you deserve what's coming to you. As a head coach, if you don't do this, and keep failing, you're asking to be fired.
15 Years Ago
Pretty classless move by Detroit showing all of Harrington's lowlights pre-game
Yet, not that surprising.
It reminded me of Allen Houston's first game back at The Palace, and someone left his stats up on the arena scoreboards. Difference was that the Pistons' owner, Bill Davidson, was pissed when he found out, and the responsible party was fired.
Watching it at the time I thought it was more pathetic than classless TBH. It was like, "Is THAT all you've got, Detroit? Really?"
@@mangrove Great owner, truly greater person, unlike, some unnamed ownership people, *cough,* Bob Kraft, *cough.*
@@DolFan316 It was, horribly insufficient.
The best Thanksgiving Day performance by a Lions QB- Scott Mitchell, 1995 vs the Vikings
And the Lions-Dolphins connection continues 😄
If only Mike McMahon had tucked it and ran for the tying touchdown he'd had been the last best performance.
I remember this game very well--You articulated what happened like it was yesterday. Great job telling the story. Another really well-done video.
This game made me a Dolphins fan. I still have this man's jersey from my childhood
Who knows how Harrington's career would of been if Matt Millen was not involved?
Yes, Matt Millen was possibly the worst NFL GM of all time. He's certainly on the short list among those who stayed in the job multiple years and simply had no success.
Joey Harrington is one of the best Oregon QBs and even though he was an NFL bust, this was one of the best revenge games of all time.
The Detroit Lions: Where NFL careers go to die. ⚰️
The NFL is full of story lines.
The only time i've ever got emotional watching a Finns or Lions game. Joey is still pure class.- If i were him, i would be the biggest NFL Uncle Rico ever - But Joey holds his head high.
With the amount of content you put out and how interesting most of it is I don't know how this isn't a much bigger channel
It's not a bigger channel because it doesn't promote filth, obscenity, "drama" or global tyranny.
Right it's better than other sports channels.
@@DolFan316 So true. Everyone is looking for drama
This channel at the time of this video was only 5 years old. Probably 1-2 years of scheduled material being put out, a super saturated market with much older channels…I’m actually surprised it’s doing this well.
Oh I remember this well lol. It's funny before watching this with my family we all knew that Joey Blue Eyes was going to do this, that's just part of being a Lions fan!
I believe that clip of him playing piano aired on a Monday Night Football Game halftime show a season prior to this game. They also showed Doug Flutie playing the drums with Barenaked Ladies.
If he could have played like this whole career...
That '06 Fins team reminds me a lot of this one. Horrible offense (no Miami team scored fewer points in a 16-game season) and suddenly going on a hot streak after a disastrous start that had them virtually eliminated from the playoffs by mid-October.
2007: Now *THAT* will a year to remember in Dolphins history
In an otherwise miserable year as a Fins fan this was fun to watch.
New subscriber here. Damn man I'm so bummed I didn't know about your channel. Great content. Keep it up👍🏾👍🏾
playing that montage to piano man was so low class. Then again, it is Detroit.
To be fair the Bears and Ravens usually have top tier defenses so it shouldn’t be that surprising that he struggled against them.
To my fellow NY Giants fans, pay attention, Daniel Jones is our Joey Harrington.
please giants give up on daniel jones, because as a steelers fan i would love to bring him in to replace ben in 2022...i really think daniel jones's game is close to josh allen's, he has played for 3 different oc's in 3 years and will now have a 4th in his ear coming up
I was at the game in the clip shown at the beginning agaisnt the Patriots, my first Lions game, and first Thanksgiving day game at Ford Field. Harrington threw so many picks that the crowd erupted in cheers when he finally started throwing the ball away. Best part of the game was Bon Jovi at halftime lol.
*YESSS!!! I REMEMBER THIS WELL!!!* OBJ9 forgot the part where after Miami fell behind 10-0 Phil Simms mocked Harrington in what to this day IMO is the snarkiest thing I've heard any announcer say about any player. Something about how Harrington should be used to playing in Detroit and being behind. By Phil Simms standards, it was god tier snark. And then of course after it's over Simms is sucking up to Harrington like that never happened and naming him player of the game 🙄
PHIL IS THE ONLY ONE NOT RESPECTABLE ON TV AND HIS MEDIOCRE QB SON IS A BETTER TV PERSONALITY
Wait…the Matt Millen era Lions we’re talking smack and putting someone down while they were the biggest joke in the NFL? They deserved that 0-16 season and they deserve their misery.
I had to drink the spike.
Have a delicious afterbeaming.
(1) These Lions videos are BRUUUUUUTALLLL!!!! (2) thanksgiving 2005 was when Garcia launched the moonball
Ah yes, the Jeff Garcia experiment in Detroit.
I remember this game. Roy Williams had like 4 catches 111 yards in the first quarter I think and nothing the rest of the game lol.
Oh those Detroit Lions
2 things I knew back then...
1) any record setting qb from texas tech would suck in the nfl
2) any qb (especially from oregon) who played under Jeff Tedford would suck in the NFL
Another notable thing about this game is that Detroit was so worried about Jason Taylor that everyone else on the Dolphins winded up getting in on the sack party.
Remember David Carr had it bad too in Texas. I’m not saying they were Brady or Montana. I am saying they weren’t set up to succeed… but that’s football.
i wonder how many players almost single handedly beat the Lions?
I think a large part of it, like in this game. Is that Joey needed investment to play well. He lived and breathed Ducks at Oregon. He had no connection to Detroit, but plays amazing against them when they did him dirty.
Who knows, if he goes to... Seattle or Oakland or whatever NFL team he rooted for? If Portland bad an NFL team... who knows what he could have been.
Another fun fact about this game: only one team in Dolphins history had fewer rushing attempts against them than the Lions, who ran just 10 times.
I remember all this! And 17 years later?? We're still trash
I have a friend who is a Lions fan and he blames all Lions ills on that clown Matt Millen. He doesn’t even like me to say his name when I’m around him. I still do it because I’m an instigator. In fact he’s more angry about that clown whiffing on 3 straight first round WR’s.
You have to wonder how many players have just been ruined because they were drafted by the lions. Not saying that Harrington would have been an MVP or anything, but let's be real the Lions couldn't take a shit without fucking it up
The, Browns, absolutely, did.
Harrington was never given a chance in Detroit. Mariucci didn't want him. Nobody picked him up at the airport to get anywhere his first time there. Look what happened to Chuck Long.
Watch the video of Joe Schmidt with Jerry Glanville. Top 100 NFL players, I think it was. Detroit threw a parade for the running back they drafted the year Schmidt was drafted. So, it isn't unprecedented that someone gets the red carpet service in Detroit.
I can still remember that post-draft presser, where Mornhinweig refused to attend (he wanted Quentin Jammer, and thought that he could mold McMahon into another Jeff Garcia), and Millen was downbeat.
@@mangrove I liked Mcmahon
In the 2004 Thanksgiving game Peyton Manning threw six TD passes against Harrington's Lions.
Should have truly saved some for the Patriots, at least his brother had teams, plus, defense.
@@matthewdaley746 Fun fact: Peyton is 3-2 VS the Patriots in the postseason. Seriously. The 0-2 start created such a bad impression everyone just assumed he lost every playoff game to them after that.
@@DolFan316 Yeah, however, that includes the Broncos, also, the Giants have only beaten Tom Brady once in the regular season, but, twice in the SB.
Joey Harrington a bust? Maybe, but he was drafted by the Lions. This is a team that in the past 35 years had one of the greatest RBs ever, a massively talented HoF WR, and the first franchise QB in over 50 years; and what have they got to show? The RB and WR quit rather than continue to play for the Lions, the QB got out of town as soon he was wanted elsewhere; oh, and one playoff win 30 years ago. If Cleveland is the factory of sadness; the raw materials are mined in Detroit.
Yeah, assuming a player for, either, of those franchises is ever a bust, isn't fair to the player, at all.
tygrkhat40 - Ouch, that hurts. But only because it is oh, so true.
What crocks me about the Barry Sanders era - they had Herman Moore at wide out, maybe the second most talented receiver ever to suit up for the Lions. And a group of receivers almost as good. They had a run and shoot offenses that could almost score at will, regardless of which of their so-so quarterbacks they put on the field. But the owner, Ford, only wanted to see old smash mouth football. So good-bye to the run and shoot and the scoring it produced, hello to running Barry 28 times a game. Image the career Barry Sanders would have had had he been the second option out of the backfield as the Lions continued to dump the ball to all those talented receivers they had?
@@cdjhyoung 1991, their best season, there was exactly one team they couldn't beat, by 1992, their moment was over, truly awful.
Too bad the Dolphins' coach that year hasn't been heard from since. 😆😆😆 #rolldamntide
When the Lions drafted Harrington, I thought he was gonna be a star. I'm not sure where things went wrong for him.
I mean I would say getting drafted by the Lions wasn't a great starting point
They went wrong when the Lions drafted him. They never put any kind of talent around him.
If he was drafted by a team like the Steelers or anyone who had a good O-line and plenty of depth at the skill positions it probably would’ve been a different story but what happened, happened and the only thing we learned from it was that if you’re going to draft a QB in the first round you better have a good foundation in place so that way he can thrive because if you did what the Lions did in 2002-2005 while Harrington was there which was change head coaches at the drop of a hat then how can your young QB develop if he has to learn a new system every year?
I agree. Harrington really looked like he had the tools to succeed. But you need to step back and ask 'what other talent was on that Lions team?' Not much. Once again, you need to look past just the players on the Lions and examine the coaches and the play calling. And always look at the meddlesome Ford ownership team. One thing about getting drafted by the Lions - hold out for big money because it is very likely your career is going no where after you start playing in Detroit. The best you can hope for is a draft day trade.
Wrong offense for his skills, and coaching staffs (Mornhinwieg and Mariucci) that didn't want him. Plus, the stupid pressure of being the starting QB in Detroit. I think it was Chris Osgood that said that the toughest/ least popular positions in Detroit were starting Lions QB and starting goaltender for the Red Wings.
Not to discount that Joey wasn't a top 3 pick, but his team led the league in drops all 4 years, the line was bad, particularly on the right side, the running game was bad except in the rare occasions Kevin Jones was healthy, and the only receiver he trusted (Charles Rogers, yet another bust) broke his collarbone in back to back years
Huge bust? Absolutely not. Played years longer than the average NFL career.. I met joey at a U2 concert when I worked at the palace of Auburn hills setting up and tearing down for local crew. And was a Detroit fan.
I WAS AT THIS GAME!!!!!!!
What if montana or brady drafted on a bad fit team and doing bad and such who knows if they do good. Montana had a great coach and cared. Joey had many sparks but he went sour... I bet most was in his head and i dont think lions cared enough soon after. Just stinks seeing his magic start then during later game just switch flipped. I like this guy a lot was hard to see him show he was good then kept failing. He reminded me of frank reich he showed in bills win he could really play then left and flopped like joey. I am glad i got to watch him just wish i could watch all his college games.
I forgot about that game, he killed the lions on thanksgiving day!!!
Should anyone drafted by Detroit be considered a bust? As an Oregon Duck fan I still contend that if he had be drafted by a real NFL team he would have had a fine or excellent career.
Talk about Emmit Smith separated shoulder game
Matt Millen is still the reason the Lions are horrible and hasn't been the GM in over 14 years.
How is Millen still to blame for present day problems????
He is everything to why the Lions are still a mess today, completely damaged the Lions the moment he took the GM position and fired Gary Moeller.
@@nickkaning7616 Because he was so bad the damage he did is still harming them over a decade later would be my guess.
After Barry left they went 8-8 and 9-7. Millen came in and they were awful.
I'm not saying Harrington was good. He did start most of the games for a team that to this day scored the fewest points in a 16-game season in franchise history. But he did walk into Chicago and knock off the big, bad 7-0 Bears, and he did win 4 straight starts after Crappooper...I mean Culpepper, sabotaged the season by starting 1-3 to give me a least a glimmer of hope.
Dude went back to Detroit and straight up stole the turkey leg.
This unofficial Official Jaguar Gator 9 historian will remind everyone you made multiple videos about the trash talking conducted by the other Thanksgiving host, the Dallas Cowboys. It seems like the Lions were the last team that should have been trying to pull of that level of trash talking before a game.
Bill Simmons talked about how after the Raptors traded Vince Carter he got booed every time he went back to Toronto. Simmons said it fired Carter up to play well against his former team.
OT, but, Bill Simmons was why even a few native Bostonians rooted against their teams, whenever they lost he made it that much better, a true Boston sports fan, (in the worst way possible).
Detroit deserved to get spanked like that after you humiliate a guy who tried his best but just couldn't put it all together. About 60-70 people out of 300 million Americans can play QB in the NFL and if you are in the top 32 you are really really really good.
@Matt Joseph Yes. This. It still amazes me just how many people forget that or never even realize it who have been football fans for years of not decades.
Sometimes I'm even one of them, since I keep saying half the players on my team don't belong on an NFL roster.
I remember he was bad, but I was too young to remember what it looked like watching him play lmaooo that release was atrocious
I feel like beating the lions isn't ever revenge, it's more like beating a dead horse
Well I mean when the team and the fan base goes out of its way to blame you for all of their problems even after you've left them, I'd want to stick it to them too.
I wonder if this is the video where he'll explain that a QB would have a better passing rating if he just spiked it into the ground on every throw.
Well, maybe Jared Goff has something to look forward to...in a few years.
3:37
The moment you all came for.
LOLOLOL. Exactly.
Oh, I came all right. (Rim shot.)
Russell Gary's 3-int game against the Saints was pretty big.
Joey Harrington would be LUCKY to be a 39.6 LIFETIME. It would be a MIRACLE. He should have SPENT his career just SPIKING the BALL into the ground on EVERY single OFFENSIVE play!!!!!
Mariuscci and Millen were the problem, not Harrington. They wanted a gun slinger, not a game manager, yet Joey was a game manager. Just another case of the lions doing opposite of the rest of the league while having players that are built for the rest of the league.
Funny how you mentioned the Dolphins won four games in a row and NOT point out The Cowardly Lions went 3-13 that season
Wouldn't the Lions going 3-13 be business as usual?
@@bigbearkat2010 Not really. Lions fans consider that a good year.
Td int ratios are pointless
Andre Ware was a much bigger bust.
Heisman Trophy-Winners historically are busts, any elusive exceptions are merely, The Law Of Averages, that's it.
I am not a Lions fan, but wouldn't it be better if the Ford family sold the team to, I don't know, football minded folks?
It's pretty sad that after sooo many years...no winning, no nothing.
Well, it would be better for the Bears if Virginia McCaskey wasn't living out of, spite, but, like, Elizabeth II, they would miss the memo, horrifically.
Miami was 4-6 coming into the game and ended up 6-10. Hardly in the playoff race in the afc....this wasn't the nfc where 8 would get you in.
GO michigan panthers of the re-born usfl. Usfl panthers did more winning in three usfl seasons than lions have done in 60+ years including the first usfl title. And had more fans than lions in the silvedome because they were fun to watch and won. Mich. panthers spring of '22. BE A FAN. Also got the pitt. maulers, philly stars, nj generals, birm'ham stallions, houston gamblers, n o breakers, and tb bandits coming back.
My first pro football game was a Panthers game at the Silverdome in'84. As luck would have it, star WR Anthony Carter broke his arm in that game.
Yabut 3 things: First, it was the Lions. Second: it was the Lions. And third, the Lions automatically spot the opposing QB 2 TD passes right off the bat. So really, Harrington only accounted for 1 TD pass. That's rather pedestrian. That's a Babe Laufenberg level of performance...lol
In defence of joey h, it wernt his fault, the detroit lions were awful with terrible coaches, wrong place wrong time
JG9 can you do a video about Dre Bly on thanksgiving or some pro lion thanksgiving content?
His interception rate was terrible, but Detroit receivers did not fight for the ball.
Matt Stafford was a bust…. We will never know what would happened if Joey was drafted by a better team
Big deal. There is a reason why they say lions qb and wings goaltender are the tuffest positions to play in detroit. It was the mm lions era with rod 0-16 marinelli as coach. Hater picks on the lions once again. And if you really want to pick on lions some more before their turkey day game do a video on the turkey day game the year before when falcons routed them leading to marinucci to get FIRED right after it. Or do a video on last season's turkey day game when lions just gave up as texans routed lions leading to matt patricia to be FIRED the next day. Lions are LOSERS...period. Find another #kn team to pick on hater. At least at the silverdome and under capt. wayne-o fontes lions had some bite on turkey day and came out fighting. Now they have been reduced to pure losers who get feasted on on turkey day at ford 'loser' field with 'ford' being an appropriate name for it. And stoney #kn case or bob gagliano even craig whelihan would have lit up the lions if put behind center that day. And joey 'blue eyes' was just another lie the lie-ons sold to their fans that he was gonna be their saviour and star. Just like they said with andre ware and charlie batch and roy and mike williams. They are nothing but liars that sell b s to a feeble and fickle fan base. Just nuke lions from the nfl landscape or send them to st.l and give detroit a new franchise. One that doesn't have the name 'ford' attached to it in any way.
The Red Wings had an awesome goaltender in Mike Vernon, getting rid of him was idiotic, despite, their repeat the following year.
