Mike Valenti of 97.1 Detroit sports talk radio commentary on the Detroit Lions opener

[mrbowling300]

This is an excellent listen. Valenti is one of the most the most outspoken critics of the Detroit Lions. The Lions used to broadcast their games on 97.1, and because of Valenti's criticism said pick, either us or Valenti, the station chose Valenti. So now the Lions are broadcast on AM radio.

How this guy (Matt Patricia) is still employed I cannot fathom?

---Opening line of Mike Valenti's 11-minute monologue

 

[John Kelly]

Eleven blown leads in the fourth quarter during the 33-game tenure of Detroit head coach Matt Patricia.

 

[John Kelly]

Valenti was as disturbed about Patricia's reaction to the blown lead as he was the on-field collapse itself.

 

[John Kelly]

"This roster blows," cries Valenti.

 

[mrbowling300]

The best line of the rant by Valenti to Patricia "you want to know what should be on you?? six feet of professional dirt!!!"

 

[Almost Allright]

Valenti is a great listen. His Jim Harbaugh takes are hilarious as well. One of the very few who was out ahead of it saying Harbaugh was a fraud.

JK, Mike Valenti became famous after his rant of the MSU vs Notre Dame game played at East Lansing on Sep 24, 2006
Valenti is from NY, but went to Michigan St, and like the Lions, he is one of MSU's most outspoken critics as well.

Played on national TV during Saturday night, primetime on ABC, MSU, coached by John L. Smith gave up a 17 point lead to ND during a driving rainstorm.
It is one of the most epic radio listens ever. Listen to this:

Good radio rants during the Wayneo years as well. Never change, Lions.

 

[SlipperyPete]

As long as they keep playing Stafford, the blown leads will keep on happening.

Was surprised they had a lead to blow

(and yes I know the dropped pass wasnt his fault)

 

[Heim]

Amendola must be wincing at the losing atmosphere around him.....

All the Ex patriot coaches sucked as head coaches. Flores sucks, Patricia sucks, crenel sucked. mcdaniel sucked.
