Holding nothing back, a fiery Valenti confirmed he was the reason the Lions won’t broadcast on 97.1 The Ticket past 2016. “I’ll own it,” he said. “Fine by me, this is an organization that has tried to go after me for a decade.”
Flash forward 3 years, and we got Game Day Uncensored out of all this. I think 97.1 and the listeners got the better end of this.
obviously.
100%
The segment where they watch Red Zone?
6 years later and still agree
One playoff win in sixty years doesn't give an organization a leg to stand on. Mike should have a NFL show in Detroit.
I just can't understand a franchise that has 1 playoff win in 60 years. If that was my city's team, I don't know what I'd do.
3 now!!!!
When Mike gained my ultimate respect. 👊
Mike has never attacked the Lions personally. I'm a Lions fan and they are the worst ran organization in football. Mike took a stand. Good for you!!
And his station chose to stand by him.
As a lion fan I respect the hell out of u mike. Ur speaking for all of us
Way to go Mike you are the voice for the voiceless. Failure will continue to follow this team until it's sold.
This didn't age so well
Looking back on this; not only did the Lions fail to bring down Mike, they failed by continuing their losing traditions and are still a terrible organization to this day. Call 'em out. Every damn time call them out.
And now they're coming back to this station
And now they aren't horrible anymore
Mike Valenti is truly a legend. So glad that the old times have passed and we're actually really good. (Currently 8-2, Bear down) Anyways, thanks for speaking for all us Lions fans!
I've been a Lions fan since 1981 it's alway's been the same losing Lions. Every year I hope this is the year. Thanks Mike for the truth. People need to be introduced to their mistakes.
We remember when they were escorting people out for Fire Millen shirts. Lol... Then Mire Fillen shirts, your gone too! Censorship as if we don’t they Suck already.
KneeBenderservant also I remember they banned paper bag masks in 2008. That was ridiculous that they focus more on that than winning games.
I just don't like how they screwed the fans over by moving the game broadcasts to AM radio over this. They should be more worried about the team and the quality of the players than over what Mike Valenti is saying about them... If they would improve the team Valenti wouldn't be ripping them.
Kudos to you for speaking the truth . Do the Lions realize how many of their best and most faithful fans have died waiting for them to compete for a super bowl ? Do they care probably not . My Dad was one of those fans . My Dad was a season ticket holder back at tiger stadium a die hard fan and the Lions failed him miserably . So when you talk about the Lions you speak the truth . The Lions do not deserve the fans of Detroit.
Mikes the Man! Lions can't handle the truth!!!!!
I think Shiela taking over is a big part in why they came back. She seems like a way more competent owner and hired people who knew what they’re doing. And she made the smart decision to come back to 97.1 and I think try to make amends with the station and Mike.
5 years later, the Lions are coming back to the station
Ages very well, Sunday morning show with boomer, biggest sports show in the country, hate him or love him we habe had a legend here for 20+ years
LOL @ The Lions slappys defending a team with 60+ years of losing. It's 2020, your team still sucks, Valenti is still on the air.
And was able to get two podcasts set up, retains huge audience after many thought he would crumble without Terry, and continues telling the real view on all the topics
kudos to cbs detroit on standing up to the bullies of the lions organization
It honestly says how little respect the Lions have in their own market if they choose the radio personality over the NFL team. How many other markets would do that?
Perhaps, one of the greatest most iconic days in sports broadcast history. Classic
Finally after 7 years it looks like the tides have (maybe) changed.
6 years later lions back on 971 and valenti still taking them to task!
Fast forward five years... the Lions are still a joke... and I still listen to 97.1 every day. The Ticket made the right move.
Can't wait for a real show on Sunday... it's about damn time, voice of the ignored... thank you Mike Valenti.
Daniel Paling GameDay Uncensored was definitely worth the listen this season. Him, Sully and Bogie know their shit when it comes to football and got some great interviews to boot.
Love mike!
Good for you, Mike....keep holding their feet to the fire.
I don't agree with a lot of what Mike says, but I absolutely agree with this. Worry about the product and not the naysayers.
2024 and Mike is back on board leading the charge! Love it
Good stuff. Mike's a Michigan hater but he was absolutely right. Listen to the show on my ride home most days.
he's actually had some good things to say since they got Harbaugh.
I'm a diehard Michigan fan btw
Brandon Alan He actually understands that Michigan is the class of the Big Ten now with Harbaugh. He realizes that Michigan is our state's best chance at a championship in the coming years.
He's not so much, imo, a michigan hater...but he tells it like it is...especially when it comes to the lions!
Perfect Sense this didn’t age well
Here in dec 2020 after the lions came back to the ticket
Mike was absolutely correct. It was petty of the Lions to expect the station that carries their broadcasting rights to also double as their Minstry of Propaganda. Constructive and critical journalism can not suffer just because we happen to carry your games on Sunday ! If you don't want to be criticized, WIN GAMES !
So funny. Two years later he's got a weekly segment with a Lions player. Things must have improved.
Brian Stilson The thing is, TJ has always been a fan of 97.1 even when in Green Bay so that's why he shows up despite Lions PR probably encouraging him NOT to go.
@@Blad3sofWaR TJ is now a regular on the station.
The truth always sets someone free.
I miss Terry, but Rico is a great addition.
Lions are a joke. Glad the station stood their ground.
they don't all homers now
8 years later.........
mike you are my idol, finally someone speaks the truth about this organazation and team..example a buddy of mine asked me to go to a lions game and i said for what go and waste $300 on a team that will never win what a waste of money.. my sundays are so much better now cause as a fan since 1980 i cant watch them anymore im so done you guys think the raiders are bad, well ther not these lions will never win and i have a theory everyone in detroit knows calvin johnson shoulda been traded this year, but guess what they wont trade him cause he sells tickets..fans you have to wake up.. they cant even have a good draft this team is so lost i can do a better job from here its baffling..i love you mike (no homo) f the lions..#teammikevaleti
News Just in. Lions want to go back to 97.1 The Ticket for its Flagship....I don’t know how I feel about this but they better not censor Valenti and Co. Gator and Anderson can keep being the slap pies they are.
Flash forward to December 2020.
The Lions are leaving WJR and heading back to The Ticket.
so.....5 yrs later Terry is retired and sorely missed! and Mike is now doing Game Day Un-censored, has a podcast, radio show killing it during a tough no sports pandemic and the Lions are, well......rebuilding once again after another failed regime. Good Riddance QuinTricia
Terry: You know why Joe D traded for Allen Iverson?
Mike: Because he hated me.
HAHA
Terry and mike are Legends
God Bless you Mike. The losers are gone. I've hated this team for a long time. They are only in business to collect the money. I have since been a Vikings fan for years now. Best decision I have made in a long time. SKOL VIKINGS!!!
Mike is all I look forward to after a lions game 😂
Facts
Much respect!!!!!!
Wow this just came onto my feed
I still love it......d for life....win now!!!
And they finally came crawling back this year
6:36 Right on!!!!!
Just win football games...... simple
Please tell me they did NOT fire Valenti... Foster is great and Valenti is Comical, but there's a reason it's called "Valenti and Foster", they complement each other. He is the voice of the fans.
+Blad3sofWaR The ticket did NOT fire Valenti. Lions said fire him, we will still keep you as flagship. Needless to say Valenti is still on the air. So no worries there man.
+Blad3sofWaR . Mike Valenti is a Giants fan, not a Lions fan. His rants about the Lions are as phony as a 3 dollar bill. I'm thrilled that the Lions are leaving the hypocrites at CBS.
He's also a big msu fan and look how he bags on them when they're doing bad to.
+Earl Bedford I know he isn't and that's fine with me. He speaks the truth, and I totally agree with him.... For years we get run over by the same damn circus of a team and if you ever want a shot, a whole remodeling of the team not need, HAS to be done.
I agree with like 90% of what he says
I'm glad they stood with MV.
2 years later and Lions lose their first game of the season...by a record margin on Monday Night Football
Last year blew a 18 point lead to settle for a tie, this past sunday blew a 17 point lead and lose.
@@Tigersfan829 wow so glad you found this. Lol I thought as backwards as 2020 is The Lions could actually turn it around. Well, guess some things in the world will never change
@@o0oStillWeRiseo0o How do you feel about the Lions now?
@@benisrood The Lions turned it around! We need to enjoy it for what it is and not relate this team to SOL. As we see with the Pistons with bad ownership you will suck. Once Sheila took the reins, Lions have become a top tier franchise. Now let’s build and win !
And 5 years later in December of 2020 the lions returned to 97.1
Mike is a savage lol. Well said boss.
Valenti and foster are the best . I love the Lions but glad Valenti and foster r better
Broadcasting this show was literally more valuable than the rights to NFL football ! Wow !
What did he almost get fired for in 2009??
Absolutely fantastic!
Mike looks like a white Andre Drummond lmao
kind of
About time......thanks Mike.
Hey Mike....telling the truth. Love it!😊
Legendary. I hope they didn’t ruin any shots of him going National.
The only reason I'm posting now is because I needed to say this : SELL THE TEAM FORD FAMILY. I know that you stand to make more money from taxes if you still own the team when Martha passes away. I understand. But you are one of the richest families in the world, even without including the team. Doesn't this whole thing hurt your pride? Or are you all so obsessed with money that you don't even care? You do understand that you can't take that money with you when you die right? This is a joke. You continuously put out a sub-par product week after week, year after year and expect us to keep watching. What if Coke put out bottles with no label, half-filled and with no carbonation? Could they get away with charging full price? This is an absolute circus EVERY YEAR.
For once the Lions baffoonery actually has benefited me, go get em Mikey
What did he do in 09
Kyle Farkas told some jokes about Corey Smith
Keep up the good work! your Head up
Oh, man i bet the station manager is sweatin bullets
So where will the Lions games be aired?
Who
Cares
I thought this was about something else but it was a happy accident. This explains sooooooooooooooooo much.
Dissolve the Lions
For all the losers who call out Mike for being a Giants fan...he honestly has more passion about getting a winning team in Detroit than diehard Lions fans. Mike wants a winner here. He said he watches every snap of this football team and I can tell he genuinely gives a damn. People in this city aren't even brainwashed at this point...we are brain dead. We cannot fathom just how terrible a franchise can be....and still get away with it. The Fords have literally got away with the biggest heist in American history. Selling merchandise, profiting from networks for Thanksgiving games, ruining careers of all time great players...the list is endless.
Kings of the North current situation 💪🏾
Oh wow....
he some like a ex girlfriend gone crazy
Your station make a profit using the lions broadcast. 97.1 the ticket is negatives all the time why be on a broadcast that alway negatives that no player do interview for your station.
There’s nothing positive to be said. Wasn’t then and isn’t now
Lions are no different than the Seahawks were before 2005.
Knox took em a game from sb.... lions done that?
This has to have been a joke
Mike,you serve Mike not the fans
Lions suck we need a new NFL team with an outdoor stadium! Real football!
Forward 6 years and they returned to the station, against Mike's wishes.
Also 6 years later the Lions haven't changed. They still suck.
You naysayers and Mike Valenti have shot yourselves in the face!
Uhhh what? How?
Zero conference championships, zero division championships, zero playoff wins
3-4-1 as of today. Couldn't top an equally pathetic Raiders franchise. So what changed?
Uh, no
Man this dudes ego is out of this world.
105.1 is gonna dominate now
+famousamos0 The Lions aren't being broadcasted on 105.1... do your research buddy. They went to an AM station.
+breakdownnn5 I know !!!!!
+breakdownnn5 lions games r the draw not these clowns let's go pistons!
+Paul Burkett lmao right now true
+Paul Burkett lmao right now true
wow, I'm sorry, but Mike always seems to make it all about him. He needs to grow up...
+Paul Burkett I will clarify brainiac... My comments says that he makes it all about himself...The Lions left the Ticket. Valenti's agent and Valenti made this story up based on Lions PR having issues with what he says on the radio. Where is the proof, where does the management of 97.1 corroborate that this is the reason that negotiations failed? I don't doubt that Lions PR wanted him to lighten up, or they wouldn't be doing their job... But this is typical Mike, constantly spouting vitriolic statements. Then starts to pout when callers start to call him on it. Always the smartest guy in the room with an ego the size of any room he walks into. I really don't know how Terry can deal with this day in/day out...
Now that I look back, I wish they would have gotten rid of Mike and maybe Terry would still be here
Because you want to hear propaganda that's why
Nobody should listen to sports shows. They have never played.
At least I now understand why Mike hates the Lions. .he might be right about the Lions being petty. .but he's wrong most of the time...I turn off the radio when this show comes on..just not a good show. .not good analysis. ..Pat Caputo show is the best show on the ticket. ..Mike V is rude and obnoxious but mostly wrong..if you don't agree with him he treats you like shit. ..we need a real choices in this so called sports town. .instead we stuck with Mike and Terry only. ...smfh. .i miss 105.1 just for the alternative to listening to this guy. .the worse sports radio show in Detroit
Pat is the rude and obnoxious one. Hes also wrong most the time. Mike has actually been right most of the time he speaks. That's why people hate him..
He tells the truth
His is the highest rated show on the station by far. Go Blow.
@@mikepanick9362 That doesn't take very much.
Radio is dead and your ego is "huge"
When the pay checks stop... Watch how much crying will happen...
Money speaks volumes.... Let's see where you'll be in a year....
Michael Harhala this was 2 years ago and he signed a 10 year contract so he will probably be right there
does anyone bother to check the date of the video? Are u really that dumb?
Lions came crawling back. Nice opinion, bro.
Lmao your show is NOT as important as the Lions.
Looks like it was, since his show continued to dominate for 5 years and the lions came back!
Show so much better now without that hack Foster
Man, your over-inflated ego and sense of self-importance is something else. You're a sports talk radio host, nothing more. You're not irreplaceable.
Lol go giants oh wait your in Detroit ... the organization has changed since Martha took over and you haven't noticed thats the problem .now WCF was a dingbat made real bad decisions... the reason you wont get any love from the lions is cus your a giants fan who has literally bashed the lions at every chance and continue to do so. Now when you go around the league I've seen that players have said they hear the media bashing allstars for losses when it wasn't on them or even still getting bashed when they win (didnt you call out the wings for not being good even though they were in the playoffs at the end of an insane run )why would players want extra drama by their own media when its not warranted seriously even half of your compliments are backhanded insults... lol you refuse to take someone's phone call but then say i try but they wont take my calls lol just an observation... i listen to 97.1 religiously and some people who know how i feel about the my home town teams ask me why ?my answer is simple i say it's the same reason people listened to Howard Stern just to hear what the dingbats gonna say next .... god i remember this but nothing has changed
G🦁 Lions
^^^^^^ useful idiot
And right here is why the Lions will never be good, idiots like George that defend this dumpster fire of a football team.
lol ....Mikes arrogance is unbelievable...
It was all truth
No lions , unfollow
How do you still have a job? You are so biased it is sick
You're obviously deaf
ok moron, keep spending money on a team that is the most inept in all of sports.
He still has a job because he is very good at it. The Lions on the other hand...

Lions suck end of story.
The Lions got butthurt bc he spits the truth
Your station make a profit using the lions broadcast. 97.1 the ticket is negatives all the time why be on a broadcast that alway negatives that no player do interview for your station.
20 hours per week of one the most listened to sports talk shows in the COUNTRY or 4 hours a week of an abomination of an NFL franchise losing football games. Wonder which makes more money. Quit being a Lions buttboy.
Then win and those mean words that hurt your feefees will go away, till then, roast them with discretion.
