"They mismanaged the clock, AGAIN! They didn't use their timeouts right, AGAIN! And they allowed an opponent to get into halftime and make adjustments, AGAIN!"
This rant is almost 11 years old, and its still the greatest in sports history, and I played on this football team (2006-2010) Sorry about that day Mike..... my bad
Even though I'm a hardcore Michigan fan, I've always enjoyed listening to Valenti & Foster (now just Valenti; Terry Foster retired). Valenti is always fair regardless of whichever team from whatever sport he's talking about. Knowledgeable and funny dude.
The Terry aside comments, literally make me laugh out loud. As does... "How 'bout the good time you had with your Dad this weekend?.... Tom I'm not screwin' around, this is what I discussed with you. Shut Up." Love it.
"I would rather have H.R. Pufnstuf with Teddy Ruxpin as an assistant than to have you in this booth one more week." ------------ Mike Valenti (2006) Best part of the rant in my opinion.
I feel like being extremely invested in a live 3 hour sporting event that holds such crazy twists of events and then knowing why it all happened after the fact would basically compare to the 3 atrocities you listed
I'm a chick from Atlanta, GA who doesn't know jack about Michigan sports teams but I instantly became a fan of Mike and Terry when this went viral in 2006. I shared it with friends and we'd crack each other up with lines from Mike's rant for years afterward.
At 5:08 is the great transition of this rant. Before Terry chimed in Mike was just expressing frustration. But once he belts out "I WAS BUSY FIRING UP MY SECTION!!!" You can hear the heartbreak. Then it just goes into the stratosphere from there. Legend.
Heard sound bites from this on other shows for years, but, being from Texas, didn't know the original or what it was about. Here's a very good radio personality & a committed fan. Wish I had someone like this in my local market.
jim pollard The Valenti & Foster show is an absolute hit in Metro Detroit, it's an amazing mix of comedy and legitimate sports talk, you can go to www.ValentiandFoster.com and listen live, highly reccomend.
This rant is timeless. 14 years later its still the most passionate Sports Talk segment i have ever heard then or since. Mike made his legend off 20 minutes and with barely a voice.
As much as it would be great to see this happen, realistically videos circa 2006 would be unwatchable by todays standards. UA-cam only came out the year before and 720p wasn't even a thing for quite some time.
I was watching this game in Reno after working an 80 hour week. As a ND fan, I absolutely loved the result, but the rant the next day was even better 😂😂😂
I was at this game in the downpour at Spartan stadium and mike is 100% accurate. The play calls blew my mind. The defense in the second half sucked. The literally choked.
Then you guys got Dantonio. I know that it's been rough for you this season. And that some insane whackos are calling for his head. But still. I mean if they do lose their mind and fire him I hope the Lions hire him.
QuentinDude while lying on the field, for everyone to see. The whole team out there lying on different spots choking chickens and 70,000 people sitting there watching them.
I was at that game and I remember what he's talking about. It was devastating at the time, but in hindsight I can't complain too much since it helped us get Dantonio.
When Valenti first hit the Detroit airways, I had NO CLUE how young he was. He was loud,& at times obnoxious, but he was also mature beyond his years. Shout out to the "straw" that stirs Detroit's drinks.
I was at this game with my Dad. I was a sophomore at MSU at the time. I just remember the awful feeling I had leaving the stadium. Biggest choke I've ever seen..thank god Dantonio was hired the next year. He turned things around.
This is the the best rant I’ve heard in 40 years! The passion pain anger love of his team is awesome. Well done sir. You have a new fan and I’m 7 states away!
who still remembers the original youtube ver with the teddy ruxpin / hr pufnstuf thumbnail? ahh the early days of youtube, must've listened to that 20 times the first few days I found it... and I'm an SEC guy lol. Love the passion buddy
Always laughed at Valenti's delivery but in retrospect MSU fans went from Nick Saban -> Bobby Williams -> John L Smith so yeah, this hits different in hindsight 🤝😫🙏
It was worse because after Saben left for LSU back in 1999 I was hoping We would Promote Mark Dantonio to HC then Bobby Williams because we all knew it was Saban making the Offensive Calls not Williams and and it was proven after Jim Tressel hired him Dantonio at Ohio State after the 2000 season and again when Dantonio got the Cincinnati job in 2005 I almost gave up on this program after We hired Smith blew that one game to Michigan in 2005 and this game made it worse after this game, once Dantonio Came Back after this season I finally restored faith in this program
Here in 2021 and Michigan State is 8-0 ranked #3. To this day I'm never comfortable of MSU leading big until the clock hits zero because of that 2006 ND game.
I was at that game with my MSU buddies. The tailgate was legendary. Best part was I skipped my cousins wedding because he broke the cardinal rules. Don’t marry a ho you knocked up, and never do it on a Saturday in October. Michigan fan here. Got bless Mike Valenti for keeping it real! Still listen everyday.
I love how he’s screaming for nearly 11 minutes and then says “And here is where I really get upset!” hahahaha
It was so good
“You’re asking Drew Stanton to run the option in Hurricane Katrina “ was Fire 😂
YOU GOT YOUR SECONDARY FLOATING AROUND ON DINGIES! ITS NOT THE TIME TO SEND A 0 BLITZ!
"They mismanaged the clock, AGAIN! They didn't use their timeouts right, AGAIN! And they allowed an opponent to get into halftime and make adjustments, AGAIN!"

John Stipek scout player of the week, you did your duty.
LMAO
" The rest of Drew Stantons teammates, outta be ashamed of themselves" The shame was real.
Question: Did you ever think "WTF is this guy doing?" During one of coach's bad decisions?
@Eagles Nation he did. I was a student manager on that team. I remember john.
“Your timeouts are not like cellphone minutes... they don’t carry over”!
Man, those AGAAAAAAIIIIIIINNNs kill me every time. He sounds like a demon!
He sounds like Matt Foley .. . . Living in a van, down by the river
I still use Mike's inflection on "AGAIN" to this day when I'm pissed about something. Greatest rant ever.
16 years later and he’s still a passionate radio host
Even about the Lions lol and he not a fan
You misspelled "dumb-ass"
@@transws6am highest rated show on the ticket for a reason
@@HotspurFC-cu6ny Jerry Springer was the highest rated show forever....people love a good shit show
@@transws6am dude are you just mad mike said something mean about u of m or msu 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
And 12 years later people still say he never talks bad about his own team.
He only does when it's obvious
Was it obvious when he called for marks job after 2016.

I miss Terry Foster on the air. Legend.
"choked on applesauce" best line in sports radio
Never gets old... Ever... EVER

Absolute genius. “Take your wristbands... and stick ‘em!!!”
You could rob me, steal my girlfriend, and destroy my home....and I still don't think I could ever be this pissed off.

Sooooooo, anybody else listening to this on 9/14/19 after twelve men on the field against Arizona State?
still epic as ever. sometimes I miss this younger, crazier Mike haha
The greatest rant in radio history, period.
Chris Russo’s 2003 rant on the San Francisco giants is better
I'm a chick from Atlanta, GA who doesn't know jack about Michigan sports teams but I instantly became a fan of Mike and Terry when this went viral in 2006. I shared it with friends and we'd crack each other up with lines from Mike's rant for years afterward.
MAKE PLAYS!
Foster's side comments make this 10 times better 😂😂
No one keeps it as real as Mike Valenti. He was so pissed, that he lost his mind and his voice.
This is hands-down the greatest moment in sports talk. Amazing.
"Now let me get to the coaches ..."
"oh no ..."
I loved that part by Terry.... “oh no” lmao.
“Here’s what really makes me mad” I’m like oh shit, he’s just getting really mad 😂

His co-host needed to shut up after that. Sometimes you have to recognize that greatness is happening.
The utter despair in his voice at 7:13 when he says "no" to them trying to make him drink water and hot tea is just *chef's kiss*
17 years later and my drunken friends and I just quoted this 10 times without missing a beat. God I love this.
The finest rant I've ever heard in my life.
pucker pucker pucker
Hard to believe it's been 10 years!! omg!!!

I listened to this again, this morning. I don't think it will ever not be hilarious.
...Your timeouts are not like cellphone minutes! THEY DON'T CARRY OVER!
November 11, 2019-- I'm totally listening to this right now the way I watch an old movie the night before I go see the sequel in the theater.
I was really expecting another one at some point this season.
"This weekend pissed me off"
"Obviously" cracks me up everytime.....
Foster's reactions are the best part of this
MAKE PLAYS!!!!!!!
The Desmond Howard cackle at 16:40 kills me every time
This rant is timeless. 14 years later its still the most passionate Sports Talk segment i have ever heard then or since. Mike made his legend off 20 minutes and with barely a voice.
Greatest single sports radio rant in history.
Make Plays!!! Kudos to anyone in that studio that didn't piss there pants during this lmao
I revisit this every summer before the season starts.
Go green!
Wish there was a video with it lol
Dragstep50 yes man Loved to see terry laughing
As much as it would be great to see this happen, realistically videos circa 2006 would be unwatchable by todays standards. UA-cam only came out the year before and 720p wasn't even a thing for quite some time.
Love Mike because he’s actually passionate and calls it for how it is.
I was at the game he was ranting about and I heard this rant when it aired live, he spoke for the majority of the fanbase that day.
It's 2020 and I am a Husker Fan. This is therapy.
It's a damn shame Nebraska doesn't have this kind of voice in the fandom.
I was watching this game in Reno after working an 80 hour week. As a ND fan, I absolutely loved the result, but the rant the next day was even better 😂😂😂

"I'm tired...I'm hurt....I'm emotional....I got nothing left....I'm shot"!!! As a lions fan, I felt that in my soul....smh
You know this rant is amazing when even Sports Illustrated wrote about it in one of their issues lol
I was at that game and I remember what he's talking about. It was devastating at the time, but in hindsight I can't complain too much since it helped us get Dantonio.
I love listening to this show EVERY DAY!!!
may I present the greatest rant in sports radio history
Glad CBS Detroit finally jumped on and protected that with copyrights. It's only appropriate for this tenth anniversary of Mike Valenti's rant.
It's April 1st of the year 2020 and I hope we all survive the coronavirus so we can keep listening to this beautiful piece of art for years to come.
Hope you made it.
Well we did
Mike, Thanks for making this availible.
HR Pufnstuf and Teddy Ruxpin!!! LOLOLOL
Mike keeps it together for the first 4 minutes, and then you can start to hear the meltdown coming.
It's sad that everything he said about Michigan State, he could be saying about the Lions and it would all be true.
Lol he did yesterday
DAYUM THE PASSION!!!!! DETROIT IS LUCKY TO HAVE YOU!!!!

Can't wait to hear him after this ASU loss.
I grew up being an MSU fan and went to ASU so it was really weird for me
Greatest radio moment ever!
If I need to release after a bad loss, I listen this. Mike just gets out my feelings in one amazing rant.
This is the best rant in sports radio history bar none
Here in 2021. Again!
The way Falcons fans feel today
I remember this rant like it was yesterday.... I was laughing so hard I could barely catch my breath 😂
Where has this been all my life?
This may have single-handedly fired John L. Smith.
And Chris Smelin
2020 nothing tops this
I'm an Ohio State fan listening to this for the first time and I am crying from laughing so hard.
Classic from the heart
pure passion
I thought this rant was in 2005. But I will never forget this rant.
I love Terry’s trying to calm Mike down but he’s not having any of it
Easily the best sports rant in history.
Man they played this on a sports betting show here in Vegas man I almost got wrote up for laughing while working
he has an even better one about the lions called the pontiff it was freaking hilarious
I haven't been able to find it...
"Sat there and choked on applesauce!!!!!!"
I still use that.
does anyone else hear Mick Foley? I keep expecting Mike to pull out Mr. socko
who still remembers the original youtube ver with the teddy ruxpin / hr pufnstuf thumbnail? ahh the early days of youtube, must've listened to that 20 times the first few days I found it... and I'm an SEC guy lol. Love the passion buddy

MAAAKE PLAAYYS!!!!!
A lot of things Valenti says can now apply to recent Nebraska games
Understand that your timeouts are not like cell phone minutes: THEY DON'T CARRY OVER!
This is art!
Greatest rant ever!!!!!!!
Epic rant
Tom, I'm not screwing around...
