The Valenti and Foster show has been a part of my day for YEARS, and when Terry came back I could tell that he wasn't the same. I really am proud of Terry for putting himself and family 1st, even though it means the "Black Caucus" won't be in session anymore. I'll still be listening Mike V, and Terry...THANK YOU FOR ALL YOU'VE GIVEN US OVER THE YEARS....GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR FAMILY!!!!!!!
It breaks my heart, but Terry is a Family Man and I cannot blame him at All. I feel very sad for Mike. It's going to be hard at first, but I'll still be by Mike/Sully/Hachet/Roberto crew and unless that crumbles, I'll still be tuning in.
Terry I've been listening since I was a freshman in high school and still listen every week as a sophomore in college thank you for all the great memories and laughs through the years 🚨
Gonna miss Terry a lot was an outstanding Radio host. Mike and Terry were one of the best sports radio shows in the country. Keep his chair empty for a bit then bring Dery Back
I don't know why I am emotional about this. I can only assume it's because I listened from the begining. Even though I lived out of state for a few years, I still tried to catch the show as often as possible. I don't know Terry personally but weirdly it feels that a family member has moved far away. I wish all the best to you and your family sir. I hope you know how much joy you have brought to us over the last 13 years. We will miss you dearly!!
I've been an avid listener since the Sports Inferno days. I've lived in multiple cities across the country in the last decade and I've found myself to always come back to listen to this show above anything else. There was simply no sports talk radio show like Valenti and Foster anywhere. Thanks for the entertainment and memories Terry. Be well.
I work at 97.1 and have for the last 14 months and have been a fan of this single show for years. It was heartbreaking being in the office hearing the news and then hearing Mike's show talk about the legacy those two have made on the city. It still isn't easy not seeing T walking around the studio, bringing his smile and incredible wisdom to the station. There will never be another Terry Foster on the air.
Hands down the best show in radio.My work day and drive home might be different know put i pray that the show can become half the way it was and the show will still be great. #BLACK CAUCUS #LET THE BITCH WALK
What about a video of all the great takes or sound bites all in one video.. Anyone know if there is one made and if not then SULLY get off your ass and put it together!!
6 years later, terry is still one of the greatest detroit sports voices of all time. i wish he couldve been here to see this lions team he would be so proud.
Valenti and Sully backstabbed Terry and were so intolerant of him struggling after his stroke. Valenti wanted to be a one man show with Sully as his lackey.
My daughter played soccer with Terrys daughter for 3 years. So I was fortunate to get to know him quite well. Many after game dinners and weekend soccer trips. Lots of stuff behind the scenes here.
Huh?? Roberto is the most REAL and entertaining/engaging person on the show (besides Mike), ironic since he doesn't get much air-time (but for songs and trivia games). Sully and David don't add ANYTHING on the mic. Mike has needed a legit co-host for a good while now, he has ratings but he's the only game in town. The COVID-19/racial upheaval/no sports time period has exposed all his flaming liberal leanings and despite what he thinks he his, he's VERY thin skinned and won't tolerate opposing views.
Just watching this now. Still sad with him retiring. But T-Foss and Valenti was such a great pair. Thanks T-Foss! Will always remember two of my favorite lines from ya which were close. "bye bitch!" " Let the bitch walk!" And Ill use a hash tag big mike used, #ThankYouTerry
I rarely comment on a video so i hope terry see's this comment as well as all the rest that are showing love to him and the show. You will be missed. You guys have been a part of my day for the past 11 years and even on your off days or vacation days the show is just not the same unless its you and Mike. You guys were Magic together. Magic!!! I know Mike will continue to do a great job and whoever they choose to sit across from him will be good too, but I just don't think what you 2 have will ever be put on sports radio every again in my lifetime. Good Luck Terry. Good Luck Mike. I hope to meet you 2 one day
Oh man! I am just now finding out about this. Good luck Terry. He came to the restaurant I worked at through college, and I waited on him a few times. He was really cool, I didn't bug him of course, but he was still pretty nice and chatty. I have listened to Valenti and Foster for several years man... I will miss ya, Foster.
Fast forward T Fos says he felt like an outsider at his return. I don’t blame the guys. That is more an internal feeling once gone. I get it because I was the first of my friends to leave the D. Coming home, no longer knowing the inside jokes to the razzing each other, the continuances of stories regarding the dating hijinx, etc. Years later I was long hauling and when I returned home after 8 years, I had decided my best friend needs a major shift in his direction for myself to remain as open to hang out. I was enabling a dark path that my return was not improving him. Bros grow apart. It is sad. Mis TFos on the show. Hell they could add him back in and it would probably be great today still. Just have him in as a contributor like Lang was.
First the bitch walked, now Terry is going to find her. No, really, this has been my afternoons for 9 years. Not every day because of classes and family, but more often than not. First thing I remember was the end of the 2008 Pistons run.
I hadn't been listening to the show much at all since Terry was out. Then today I turned it on and still no T Foster so I go and look up what he's been up to and it brought me here. I feel even worse that I'm so late because I was such an avid listener from 2010 until his unfortunate health decline. I grew with the show and it was never the same to me without the duo. I wish him well. Bomaye
Man the mikey x Christmas song was a classic. Last time I see terry I ask him about that and we both busted out laughing while mike look at the Spartans basketball team look bad
How in the world are people going to survive the afternoon commute without part of this awesome duo? Terry will be missed. Thank you for all the great laughs and awesome memories.
has to be RIGER eventually..has the only one that can replace Terry a lil,him and mike are hilarious together..even though no one will replace Terry....I've been listening everyday since the pistons traded for rasheed Wallace..and will continue everyday. if not RIGER i think anyone else would just make the show awkward for a while...

Couldn't agree more George Jackson with what you said. I have been a listener since 2009. God Bless Terry and I hope he lives a great life after this.
Terrance Reginald Foster III, you will be missed! Congrats on your retirement and also, what Mike said, YOU are Detroit! Thank you for being you.
Mike back stabbing Terry to bring in Rico.
How is that true Rico wasn’t in the picture till like 2021
#ThankYouTerry
I switched when 1130 went under. They won me over quickly. End of an era. Enjoy your family Terry.
Ian McLeod Well said. The end of an era.
It breaks my heart, but Terry is a Family Man and I cannot blame him at All. I feel very sad for Mike. It's going to be hard at first, but I'll still be by Mike/Sully/Hachet/Roberto crew and unless that crumbles, I'll still be tuning in.
Terry I've been listening since I was a freshman in high school and still listen every week as a sophomore in college thank you for all the great memories and laughs through the years 🚨
will miss you T Foster
sad day
down river girls better look out!!!
Love this show, you will be missed Terry!
I was really hoping at 10:22 Sully was gonna do the Jim Caldwell "privileged conversation" drop. would have been ill timed but classic.
does anyone know Terry Foster still does sports talk on the Woodward Sports channel on RUclips?
Gonna miss Terry a lot was an outstanding Radio host. Mike and Terry were one of the best sports radio shows in the country. Keep his chair empty for a bit then bring Dery Back
Travis Klein No way Dery comes back, Jimmy Powers already canned him once. It'll be Riger, or someone not already in-house.
Josh G. Anybody BUT Riger, Riger is a nutcase. If Riger comes back I'll call in and rat him out.
Velenti and Foster were the best duo on sports radio!! Period!!
Still living Terry and Mike today! Boom-by-Yayy!!
I don't know why I am emotional about this. I can only assume it's because I listened from the begining. Even though I lived out of state for a few years, I still tried to catch the show as often as possible. I don't know Terry personally but weirdly it feels that a family member has moved far away. I wish all the best to you and your family sir. I hope you know how much joy you have brought to us over the last 13 years. We will miss you dearly!!
Cant believe this was 4 years ago already
The show is still good, but definitely not the same without terry
I've been an avid listener since the Sports Inferno days. I've lived in multiple cities across the country in the last decade and I've found myself to always come back to listen to this show above anything else. There was simply no sports talk radio show like Valenti and Foster anywhere. Thanks for the entertainment and memories Terry. Be well.
Best Radio Program in Detroit. Valenti will keep his top spot.
I work at 97.1 and have for the last 14 months and have been a fan of this single show for years. It was heartbreaking being in the office hearing the news and then hearing Mike's show talk about the legacy those two have made on the city. It still isn't easy not seeing T walking around the studio, bringing his smile and incredible wisdom to the station. There will never be another Terry Foster on the air.
grnd3241 (siren)
Haha, yes siren for sure!
Goodbye Terry. You were the man.
Only person who deserves to sit across Mike is Riger. Those 2 are hilarious together
Hands down the best show in radio.My work day and drive home might be different know put i pray that the show can become half the way it was and the show will still be great. #BLACK CAUCUS #LET THE BITCH WALK
What about a video of all the great takes or sound bites all in one video.. Anyone know if there is one made and if not then SULLY get off your ass and put it together!!
6 years later, terry is still one of the greatest detroit sports voices of all time. i wish he couldve been here to see this lions team he would be so proud.
He's still alive.
I started listening since day 1...loved the show..The rant will always be a highlight.
Valenti and Sully backstabbed Terry and were so intolerant of him struggling after his stroke. Valenti wanted to be a one man show with Sully as his lackey.
My daughter played soccer with Terrys daughter for 3 years. So I was fortunate to get to know him quite well. Many after game dinners and weekend soccer trips. Lots of stuff behind the scenes here.
They treated him like shit! Screw them both. Glad the little baby boy sully is gone#
Bomaye, T
the best radio show ever hands down
They have a lot of "um" songs by Roberto, but Mike has the same issue
Huh?? Roberto is the most REAL and entertaining/engaging person on the show (besides Mike), ironic since he doesn't get much air-time (but for songs and trivia games). Sully and David don't add ANYTHING on the mic. Mike has needed a legit co-host for a good while now, he has ratings but he's the only game in town.

Much love to Terry hope all is well
The day the show died to me
I rarely comment on a video so i hope terry see's this comment as well as all the rest that are showing love to him and the show. You will be missed.

I have listened to Valenti and Foster for several years man... I will miss ya, Foster.
this guy sounds IDENTICAL to rich eisen. WOW
Terry realized life is more important than petty sports stories. I applaud Terry”s realization. Life is real, sports are made up fun time.
Mike be strong and carry his legacy.
The Inferno!
Terry, you will be missed.
Thank you terry, you were part of the greatest shows in Detroit and probably Michigan
Thank You T!
boom bye aye!!!!!
LOL, that made me laugh. Trent, thanks.
best sports talk duo they are Detroit been listening since the am day we will miss you on the air Terry good luck
The Mikey X Christmas Song with him playing it on lil B toy instrument was the funniest of all😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

boom-bye-yeh Terry!
i want Terry back. I love you man. you are my hero.
Hard to belive it's over after all this time good luck Terry!
Farewell Sports Inferno
I'm still at a loss, I'll comment once this all processes better for me Smh
The T MAN ,WILL MISS YOU. YOU KEPT MIKE IN CHECK .
First the bitch walked, now Terry is going to find her. No, really, this has been my afternoons for 9 years. Not every day because of classes and family, but more often than not. First thing I remember was the end of the 2008 Pistons run.
My first memory of the station is listening to the news that Matt Millen finally got fired. I kept on listening after that whenever possible.
Just tuned in last year for the first time., Foster is cool. Smooth talking rational guy that I respect. Good Luck 97.1 staff.
Cook on Foster.
I hadn't been listening to the show much at all since Terry was out. Then today I turned it on and still no T Foster so I go and look up what he's been up to and it brought me here.

Terry enjoy life!!! Thank you so much for everything!
Man the mikey x Christmas song was a classic.
Last time I see terry I ask him about that and we both busted out laughing while mike look at the Spartans basketball team look bad
Can't make up chemistry, huh?
Take Care of yourself, Terry. You are loved and will be sorely missed. Mike, you know that we've got your back.
A terrible day for rain
Good Team!!!
Love ya Mike! The Sports Inferno was a huge part of my life, thanks to Mike and Terry for some great years on the radio
The way you belittled Terry when he came I'm not surprised he quit
Very accurate
How in the world are people going to survive the afternoon commute without part of this awesome duo? Terry will be missed. Thank you for all the great laughs and awesome memories.

Robin Quivers was on the Howard stern show through cancer. Just saying.
3 years later Rico beard joined the show and Rico is awesome
Valenti and Riger! 2-6
Dan A , Riger no way! I can't stand that kermit voice!
Mike and Pat Caputo?
dusttaker jesus no
There would be lots of sparks flying tho which could be fun?
dusttaker it would be brutal. not to mention the fact that Pat is basically a D-list host right now. mike would be miserable all the time.
Ewww
That would not work two sports experts on the same shows pat my hero the book
why is he acting like Terry had a cancer?
barcode0954 he had like 2 strokes
barcode0954 ignorant ass comment
