Keon Hicks I unfortunately can’t bring myself to watch the lions for the rest of this season after that bungle show but Mike 100% makes it hurt a lot less. Was listening to this rant live driving home from work today and was in tears laughing. The dude is the real deal in sports talk radio. Sure he makes ya mad sometimes but he’s also so damn funny.
My fantasy group chat yesterday guys were already talking about tanking the season for the #1 pick. Because that will save them from perpetual loserdom
I knew it when they fired caldwell it was over we were back to being garbage at least caldwell won games his worst record was 7-9 Patrica hasn't even won 7 Caldwell got us to the playoffs twice He got us in the right direction He never had a team good enough to win a title he had stafford and megatron that was it you need more
No division title and no playoffs win and killing staffords back with zero oline and no rb is not winning records caldwell never beat a team with a winning record
I had the same thought as the Bears were coming back in that game. I said "I need to clear my calendar off tomorrow. Mount Valenti is about to erupt!!" I am never disappointed when goes off.
Wins after 33 weeks with the Lions: Matt Patricia: 9 1/2 Steve Mariucci: 12 Rod Marinelli: 10 Patricia has a top-10 veteran Quarterback at his disposal, those other two didn't, and he still, STILL doesn't have as many wins as they did by this point. Imagine if Matt Patricia DIDN'T have Matthew Stafford. We caught a glimpse of it last year: zero wins. Matt Patricia was won ZERO TIMES without Matthew Stafford. Matt Patricia is Marty Mornhinweg with a decent Quarterback.
@@ParkTheSnark yeah he is decent. If a player like Stafford can put up numbers with damn near nothing around him, an absolute joke of an offensive line year after year, but has still put up MVP numbers. Lions fans don't seem to understand this team is NEVER as talented as they think. NEVER!!!! Not to mention garbage defense after garbage defense. The Lions and their fans don't deserve a QB like Stafford. The way this team is they deserve Gus Frerotte, they deserve Mike McMahon.
@@waidwml2166 Maybe Caldwell wasn't the coach that could take the team to a championship but he had a winning record, a rare thing with the Lions. Also, they were one bad call away from beating Dallas in the playoffs. Maybe Bob Quinn should have waited to find a better replacement coach if he didn't think Caldwell was the long term solution.
Your right. Jim Caldwell was developing a winning attitude , however Bob Quinn refused to help Jim by NOT spending money or making free agent / trades to help Stafford or Megatron with a good running back and o-line support, but he helps his buddy Patricia
As we’re into Week 7 of the 2023 NFL season, my how things have changed since this epic rant 3 years ago. New leadership, better players, and a new identity. Man, it’s a blessing to be a Lions fan now.
HALLEUYAH! Mike, you hit the nail on the head with a sledge hammer! I told people that this game was to see who is the doormat of the NFC NORTH. I am 64 and have waited and (suffered) long enough; that's why I'm in the LIONS FREE ZONE 🚫. I will watch with little or no fanfare or spend another of my HARD earned money on them until they either win the division and or a playoff game. They will be 0-4 in a few weeks, so fire B Quinn and Matt Patricia NOW! Then hire Louis Reddick as the GM and let him hire a REAL head coach. Jim Caldwell was 9-7 in his last season here and the rocket scientist is 9-23 in 2.1 years. Save face and fire the BUM NOW! 🤬
I wish. The problem is the FFF (Fucking Ford Family) doesn’t know what they’re doing, and they’ll probably use the virus as an excuse for the “poor play”
I knew it when they fired caldwell it was over we were back to being garbage at least caldwell won games his worst record was 7-9 Patrica hasn't even won 7 Caldwell got us to the playoffs twice
Damn this is the most pissed off I have heard Mike Valenti after a Lions game and that’s a good thing because every Lions fan is sick of this shit that has gone on for way way to long.
@SquidBag LOL is it because he's like a fan of New York teams or because of his accent or something?... I mean he just seems pretty damn pissed off about these damn Lions I don't think anybody can fake that type of anger in particular when it pertains to this team😅
The Patriot coaching tree continues. The lions are my home team, but I'm going to save my NFL season and stop watching the lions. Caldwell got fired for this???
Caldwell did have some major issues as a coach, and living in Michigan, people were done with him for valid reasons. But yeah, Patricia is way worse and it’s embarrassing that he’s had as much slack and time in Detroit as he has.
@@carlosh4854 I knew it when they fired caldwell it was over we were back to being garbage at least caldwell won games his worst record was 7-9 Patrica hasn't even won 7 Caldwell got us to the playoffs twice
I love this guy!! Patricia: "Its on me, its on me". Valenti: "The only thing that should be on you is 6 feet of professional dirt!!!" That is f@#king outstanding!!!
Right LOL at least call Will shown in provement for the most part year by year or at least never got worse year by year but promising hope but the Ford family got too hungry and wanting a championship instead of being patient and it looks like is biting them in the rear end but we'll see how the rest of this year will go will definitely be able to tell where this season is going I time the bye week gets here
@@thewizardofoz511 I strongly suspect Martha Ford wasn't behind the decision to fire Caldwell, it was all Bob Quinn. But she probably said she wouldn't overrule the GM because ultimately the GM should be making personnel decisions.
@@Knightmessenger Yeah, the nepotism and friendly stuff can sometimes be hit or miss. Caldwell was getting AT LEAST WINNING seasons for that franchise which has some of the worst in their franchise history. Caldwell is a true QB whisperer. He had that team on the right track. It is what it is. Patricias record is what it is.
As a Bears fan, I totally wanted things to fall flat so we can move on from the insane Mitch Trubisky excuses... My heart goes out to the people of Detroit and I love the city/people... Thanks for the gift win though... Y'all fired Caldwell??? For this guy???
23 dislikes...the Ford family and the dummy's that Valenti owned on live air. Michael Valenti you have my vote as a sports radio broadcaster. Best in the business.
As a Lions fan for the last 30 years, Jim Caldwell was the best coach during this duration, by a long shot. Was he a perfect coach? No, but the players respected the man, they had winning seasons, made the playoffs. Fat Boy Bluto, or PaTRASHa must go.
My wife and her whole family are from Michigan, so they're all Lions fans. My 95-y/o father-in-law said it perfectly: "The Lions will always find a way to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory."
Slappies will say but but but they only lost by 4 but but swift dropped it! This collapse was an epic fail and with the teams coming up you can’t let bad teams off the hook
I don't know who's the bad team in your world but the Bears is not a bad team . Mitch a better quarterback than a lot of guys in this league he went 12 + 4 + 2018 +/8 and 8 the following year because he was injured . Just because the best the bomb Detroit Lion don't make them any bad team so sad for your Detroit Lions get out of here Bears victory..lol😎
Albert Knox I still have issues with Matt Patrica especially of how he didn’t take accountability after the game and instead said how he had the best defensive play in New England.Thats just being plain arrogant and making excuses.
Even by Lions standards, Patricia was an absolute DISASTER as head coach. It was telling how many of his former players lined up on social media to dunk on him after he was finally let go. Think of how many coaches lose their jobs, not just in football, but in all of professional sports...and you just NEVER see that. And he deserved it , all of it.
I knew it when they fired caldwell it was over we were back to being garbage at least caldwell won games his worst record was 7-9 Patrica hasn't even won 7 Caldwell got us to the playoffs twice
Shelia, Holmes, and DC have turned this damn ship around when we thought Jesus himself couldn't coach the Lions anywhere north of 6-10. How far we have come. God, I love rooting for an elite team
Absolutely unbelievable what the leadership now has done in that short time frame. People tend to forget just how bad these times were. Quintricia was worse than any of the millen/mayhew rosters. 3.5 years later, Brad and Dan have built a juggernaut. Truly unbelievable
To think where the roster is now is absolutely astounding. 3.5 years on they're now one of the elite organizations in the league. Amazing what Brad and Dan have done here of all places

Can I please get the Job. I can do better. Lol Plan of Action: Build defense to carry the offense. If I am forced to keep Matt Stanford then we will study Brett Favre tapes and play 2 minutes offense on every downs. If leading go into 4th quarter, then do a Billy Sims up the middle, then Billy Sims to the right or left. This is a basic summary of what the Lions can be. Best Plan action.
Since this rant after the Bears game in 2020, Detroit’s record is 31-38-1 (14-6 in 2023, NFC North Champs and a special season that Detroit will remember). May have things changed in the Motor City since that rant from Valenti. Mrs Hamp has made the right moves since said Valenti rant.
Over 3 yrs later, and i still come back to listen to this.... Valenti is a legend in the D....
We coming up on the 4 year anniversary of this piece of Valenti radio gold
Being a Lions fan is like going back in time and taking a cruise on the Titanic and expecting it not to crash.
My ship as a lions fan has sunk 45 years in a row!
Yes! And having the option to get on the life raft before it’s too late.... but choose to sink with the band!
Well said!
Well said
Wow I feel this comment.. we might miss the iceberg next year haha
don't forget that the Lions refused to renew their broadcasting contract with 97.1/CBS because of Mike. THAT is what I love about him

A Mike Valenti rant about the Lions? Nature is finally healing.
Only a lions fan is already thinking about the 2021 draft already, good times as always.
My fantasy group chat yesterday guys were already talking about tanking the season for the #1 pick. Because that will save them from perpetual loserdom
We’ll draft another corner 😅
Browns fans say "hi."
Trevor Lawrence
Or a TE 🤣🤣🤣
My favorite part of the start of NFL season is Valenti's Lions rants lol
More entertaining than the actual games.
Pure gold!
Refreshing
and in week 1!
It’s therapeutic for me
I waited 24hrs, but I had to watch after lions win their first playoff win, to see how far we’ve come.
In Brad We Trust
Can I remind yall that the Lions fired Jim Caldwell for having a back to back winning record.
All thanks to Bob “9-7 isn’t good enough” Quinn.
I knew it when they fired caldwell it was over we were back to being garbage at least caldwell won games his worst record was 7-9 Patrica hasn't even won 7
Caldwell got us to the playoffs twice
He got us in the right direction
He never had a team good enough to win a title he had stafford and megatron that was it you need more
And his first season he went 11-5
His worst record was 7-9 Patrica hasn't even won 7 games
No division title and no playoffs win and killing staffords back with zero oline and no rb is not winning records caldwell never beat a team with a winning record
56-0 with 3 minutes left in the game and I'll still be worried the Lions will lose.
Bonn Stevens lmao...I can’t even watch the games man....with any joy.
Only my lions can snatch defeat from the jaws of victory...
@Kenneth Pitt To make a long story longer...yup.
How did they get the 56 points?
Man it’s so different now haha
As a Bear and Buckeye fan I've got a real soft spot for Mikey. I watched yesterday and my first thought was "Valenti is going in tomorrow"
I had the same thought as the Bears were coming back in that game. I said "I need to clear my calendar off tomorrow. Mount Valenti is about to erupt!!" I am never disappointed when goes off.
One of the best Mike Valenti rants ever
I still come back to this video every few months and just laugh.
He's gonna go off on Campbell some day. I feel like he's bottling it all up
@@misakiyoshida this did not age well
same here
@@misakiyoshidaNow he’s saying he respects Campbell more than any other past Lions coach.
Its hilarious because hes absolutely spot on lol.
Quinn & Patricia should have been fired after last season, without question.
The Fords are simply too cheap to pay them after being fired.... That’s the true reason why they allowed QuinnTricia to keep their jobs
Wins after 33 weeks with the Lions:
Matt Patricia: 9 1/2
Steve Mariucci: 12
Rod Marinelli: 10
Patricia has a top-10 veteran Quarterback at his disposal, those other two didn't, and he still, STILL doesn't have as many wins as they did by this point. Imagine if Matt Patricia DIDN'T have Matthew Stafford. We caught a glimpse of it last year: zero wins. Matt Patricia was won ZERO TIMES without Matthew Stafford.
Matt Patricia is Marty Mornhinweg with a decent Quarterback.
That’s a whole lot of truth right there.
We fired Caldwell for this.
Decent qb? He’s been lucky. Junk team and i still watch them religiously. It’s getting ridiculous.
@@ParkTheSnark yeah he is decent. If a player like Stafford can put up numbers with damn near nothing around him, an absolute joke of an offensive line year after year, but has still put up MVP numbers.

The Lions and their fans don't deserve a QB like Stafford. The way this team is they deserve Gus Frerotte, they deserve Mike McMahon.
He ruined the last few good years of staffords career
Man can't believe that Lions pulled their games from 97.1 cause of rants like this lmao keep up the good work Valenti!!!
Not a lions fan but, Jim Caldwell should've never been fired
Unpopular opinion but Caldwell would have made us the Titans 9-7 forever not saying Patricia is better but we weren't going anywhere with Caldwell
@@waidwml2166 Ok, enjoy those 3 win seasons then

When is Patricia gonna understand having a lead doesnt mean you can run the clock out the rest of the game
See chase young this weekend for Washington? Detroit sure could have used him
Jasper Driver yeah if he wasn’t already gone in the draft before our pick...lol
You can , if you can run the ball effectively, especially on first down.

I’m not a lions fan but RUclips offered me this gem and I’ll make sure to tune in from now on lol
I can't believe that I actually miss Jim Caldwell.

Do you still miss him😂

It’s amazing how the lions don’t even have expectations but SOMEHOW still don’t meet them! When they don’t even have any!
Oh yeah they do...make the playoffs😆
The lowest bar that any pro team uses.
This is the unadulterated truth. Period.

Yo I been waiting for this all day and 11 secs in I’m already satisfied thank you
When a lions fan has had too much, you know shit is getting bad.
Actually, he works in Detroit but he's a Giants fan. That's why he's impartial and doesn't let the Detroit teams off the hook.
@Blue Skeptic I get what you're saying, but my point is he's impartial and doesn't suck up to the home. That gives it a refreshing perspective
I’m not a Lions fan, but man do I love me some Mikey V. He is absolute GOLD! I can listen to him all day
“Even by Lion’s standards” “Lionizations”
This is like listening to a professional EDP
Minus the pedo allegations
A mix between Tom Scharpling and EDP for sure
Exactly! 30 years as a Lions fan, I havent seen it this bad. Even 0 and 16 we were a more competitive team.
It’s that time of the year where I revisit classic Valenti moments 😂

Albert Knox Yeah and that falls on coaching when you continue to be predictable.
Albert Knox I still have issues with Matt Patrica especially of how he didn’t take accountability after the game and instead said how he had the best defensive play in New England.Thats just being plain arrogant and making excuses.
And Stafford threw a pic with 3 minutes left in the game on 3rd and 5. Then threw an incompletion to lose the game after the swift drop.
Die hard lions fan and approve of mikes take every year !! Want him to shut up ... make plays win games .
MAKE PLAYS!
Tim Tebow has as many playoff wins in his one season as the Lions have in the last 60+ years.
LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO Damn 😭
This is so true it hurts
The 1957 Lions have more playoff wins in one season than the team has since 1957! The common denominator? Ownership!
Ah, how far we've come.
What a competent coach and GM does to a franchise
Oh god, i needed this today lol.
Me too
Even by Lions standards, Patricia was an absolute DISASTER as head coach. It was telling how many of his former players lined up on social media to dunk on him after he was finally let go. Think of how many coaches lose their jobs, not just in football, but in all of professional sports...and you just NEVER see that. And he deserved it , all of it.
What's real scary is that under Patricia the Lions blow a 4th quarter lead every 3rd Sunday. Let that sink in.
Unbelievable!
11 fourth quarter losses under Patricia... 9 total wins in 3 seasons under Patricia.... But they fired the black guy for making the playoffs
Matt Patricia has 9 wins in 3 years........ Jim gets that in a season
Can they just bring Caldwell back? Hypothetically he would have more success with the same team, right?
I knew it when they fired caldwell it was over we were back to being garbage at least caldwell won games his worst record was 7-9 Patrica hasn't even won 7
Caldwell got us to the playoffs twice
Crazy thing is we would have been at least 12-4 or maybe even 13-3, had we not had so many issues getting a kicker that year 😂
Lol I’m still listening to this. Great rant
Bears fan here: don't EVER fire Matt Patricia
Beardown
This is my first time listening this is exactly how I feel glad I found this
This is music to my ears! I've been saying it since he got hired!
Totally agree, if we had to take a NE guy I would've rather had had Vrabel.
97.1 is a great channel led by Mike Valenti. This was awesome.
Honestly the best part is Rico just watching it all go down like “yup, I didn’t even need to come in today.”
This is one of my favorite rants ever and I appreciate it. For God's sake, man.
As a Packers fan I'm shocked this guy is still employed
The only good thing he's done is beat Green Bay a couple times
14 blown leads in the last 17 game's & 1 playoff win in 60 F'ING years. Really digest those 2 stats. It really is
UNBELIEVABLE.

If I am forced to keep Matt Stanford then we will study Brett Favre tapes and play 2 minutes offense on every downs. If leading go into 4th quarter, then do a Billy Sims up the middle, then Billy Sims to the right or left. This is a basic summary of what the Lions can be. Best Plan action.
The gift that keeps on giving. I check this out when I need a laugh. Valenti is hilarious
This was absolutely incredible
Since this rant after the Bears game in 2020, Detroit’s record is 31-38-1 (14-6 in 2023, NFC North Champs and a special season that Detroit will remember). May have things changed in the Motor City since that rant from Valenti. Mrs Hamp has made the right moves since said Valenti rant.
Re-watching this after the news of his firing
LMFAO!! I'm dying....as a lions fan for 40 years (lord help me) agreed with EVERY word!
Props to Sheila for turning around this mess of a organization to respectability.
She put her trust in the right guys. What a massive difference Brad Holmes and Dan Campbell have made.
p.s. brutal ending to the game last night.
Sometimes you gotta call it like it is. Kudos to Detroit radio for keeping it real.
Diarrhea fettuccine 😭😭😭😭😭😭
