They were legit "playoff contenders" when they fired Caldwell stating it was not good enough. Now for some reason 2YEARS LATER AND NUMEROUS DRAFT PICKS LATER it is. Grounds for termination alone!!
@@arthurfonzarelli9828 Bulls@#t. They were 3-4-1 when he went down and not playing winning footbal. And even more foolish to think Caldwell couldnt do better with another 2 off seasons under his belt.
Quinntricia was fired just this past weekend. EVERYTHING that Valenti said in this segment was 100% spot on. Quinn and Patricia bungled the draft, took a corner at No. 3 instead of a QB, and with the exception of a few positions left this team with essentially an expansion team roster.
The Lions have been trash, are trash and will continue to be trash. Its shocking how people actually go to the games and spend their hard earned money, expecting a winning team
It's the same fans that March fown to the field in a Barry Sanders Jersey and scream while they just get teased with a win or comeback win in the 4th quarter just for some insane buffoonery to happen and the crowd goes,awwwwww! It's LUNACY!
STOP BUYING TICKETS STOP FILLING FORD FIELD . WHEN U GO TO FORD FIELD U ARE CONDONING THIS is a .FUCKING, FACT.I I when shiffle outta fprd. And. Cry and while go pound sand your an enabner
Par for the course. The Lions are 50 years of ineptitude and going strong. Jim Caldwell was an over .500 coach who got run out of Detroit for a hack with a beard
My Favorite Thing to play is how will the Lions Lions lose this time? A) Get Screwed By the Refs. B) Choke in the 4th Quarter C) Penalty, Penalty, Penalty D) Get Beat SO bad, your fans leave and your foes fans are the only ones in the Stadium (My Favorite)
NSE, .. Hopefully a miracle happens & Stafford saves us .... That is ... If he can ever finish a full season again. This defense is ... like ... (pretty much) an all time worst
Explain how please. Because all I see are 2 good draft picks over 4 years, a defensive HC who calls his own plays and has one of the 5 worst defenses this season, and a bunch of people settling for the excuse of injuries when Mike just named 2 playoff teams (and 1 team who was in the hunt heading into the last 2 wks) who lost a ton of star players/starters. HELP me see the positives of this season or the front office in general. Because the NFL, ESPN, the rest of the sports people in the country and a growing number of Detroit natives need help finding ANY good about Quinntricia.
I often wonder if the Lions organization, despite Mike's harsh criticism of the Lions and them trying to get him fired, listens to what he has to say @ 12:12
It cares about the wrong fans...the ones who “support the team no matter what” and “just like to see wins on Sunday” without caring about how bad this team is set up for the long term. The loyalists who refuse to stop paying for jerseys and going to games are being listened to, because they allow the staff to think that as long as they are “barely competitive” everything is fine
@@billsmith6117 I know the exact fan you speak of. One posted on Facebook about "I support my team, good or bad!" Well, MY question is...when do we get the "good"? When WAS the "good"? We've had a lot of bad...but unless you remember 1991, there's never BEEN any good. Therefore, fans like that are the enablers.
Arthur Fonzarelli still doesn’t negate the fact that a empty Ford Field would be embarrassing. I believe the Fords do care enough if fans continue to support above the team excusea
Does anyone actually think they'll get fired after next year? They'll have some injuries, go 7-9 or 8-8 and get another year. And the cycle of Lions ineptitude goes on, year after year, decade after decade.
When you lose the fans and players, you fire everybody. We were trash when we were healthy, and the injuries are not a valid excuse. We sucked, suck, and will suck
So lemme get this straight... The Lions hold a lead in nearly every single game, with or without Stafford and other major player injuries. And that was addressed in the letter to the fans. And yet a defensive HC, who calls the plays instead of the DC, can’t defend any lead and lose 9 straight. And in the same letter, claim injuries were the reason they didn’t make the playoffs, even with the leads in every game. This organization doesn’t make any sense.
Steven Overmyer hello and Congratulations! I can say from experience that your Sundays will be much more enjoyable. My favorite team is always whoever the Lions are playing.
Honestly it wouldnt had mattered either way if they did get fired this year. Do you really think Martha Ford would had found anyone better aside from the obvious decent coaching candidates? She would had ran back to the NFL and asked them to find someone for her.
Martha & Sheila were being cheap. If they fired both Patricia & Quinn, they would've had to pay between 30 & 40 million to pay them off. They didn't want to do that!
They want their 3 wins 12 loss oh that tie too coach back? And because they said we be playoff contenders next season. All coaches say that their suppose to say that. Every team before the season starts is actually a playoff contender or are they? The Lions aren’t one of those teams and neither next year and every year because this team held hostage by the Ford Family doesn’t need to make it one. Cause people in michigan and Detroit even though they grumble go to the home games and spend their money. How stupid what a waste.
So at one point Detroit was actually 3 wins 2 losses one tie then came the funky gb officiating which wasn’t the cause for the loss and go winless rest of the way. And they want em back wtf@@@@@
Yup. It's a full house every week, filled with losers who continue to support the organization. Every year for 20-30 years, they continue to support the biggest group of losers in the history of the NFL. This will never stop.
I say give them therefore five-year contract worth! Why? As a Lions fan since 1965 can you get any worse? We all know the answer to that right, no! Let them do what they need to do for the next three years to fulfill their contract at the end of the fifth year let’s decide what we’re gonna do with these two because at this point it doesn’t matter!
First things first... Patriots defense looks better then they ever have without Fat Patricia.. second,I wonder what player is going to get there football career ruined by being drafted by the Lions! I never wanted Patricia,but it doesn't matter what coach we have if the referees our going to take wins away from the lions.people who don't believe about set up games and scripted wins,then go back and really watch the Lions vs Packers on Monday night this season.. I would of rather kept Caldwell over Patricia,and the players would of also... They hate Patricia and he acts like he's a football genius when really he just rode bill belicheicks coat tail! Lions are a mess and can't even get a draft right, i mean they took a TE and he wasn't even the best one.. people keep arguing with me that the lions should not of drafted Lamar Jackson,YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE,lol... But who wouldn't want Lamar Jackson on there team??,,oh yeah delusional lions fans, the same ones who March down to Ford field wearing the same Barry Sanders Jersey and that can't see talent if it slapped them in the face it's funny,you watch the lions game and all the people screaming and hollering and everyone kf them have the same Barry Sanders Jersey and don't realize there just getting teased with a win or a comeback!.. Nope, we're lions fans and we don't want an MVP Calibur player on our team,SMH! It's probably time for Stafford to go and win a much deserved Superbowl ring somewhere else before he ends up like Calvin Johnson! I'm a life long Lions fan, I love Stafford,I feel sorry that he was drafted by the Lions as much as you can feel sorry for a millionaire.... But the lions our cursed, bottom line!
The nightmare about this whole thing is that the next Ford owner is just as delusional and senile as Marta. I wish one of these "owners" was a degenerate gambler and would lose this team in a high stakes poker game.
Freedom The Freeman This is my first year buying season tickets. I just think the coach is a joke. Going for 2 in the Cowboys game when you should kick the extra point is one example he doesn’t know what is going on in game situations. Getting rid of your defensive captain is another bad move.
I’ve wasted a ton of money on this team in the past as well. Twice bought season tickets in the past 5 years and I won’t do it again. Grew up going to the Silverdome to watch the Lions play. SOL always.
Quinn and Patricia should be fired at season's end this year ,with these 2 in charge again next year I expect the same a losing season filled with excuses . This team has been building since 1934 .
Watching this a year after . The lions just fired patricia. Wasted a draft pick. Now the are rebuilding and missed to draft herbert , tua , love . Lmao
Love his opinions - but here, HES WRONG, and here is why. My opinion, ANY COACH - ANY that get a job need to have MINIMUM 3yrs to get the system in. Look, why are we FREEKING out because the Lions suck, like we’ve never been here before!? I say, RIDE THESE GUYS OUT. Because you hire another coach you’re looking at another two years, let it ride. May I give them their whole contract five total. Why? Because it doesn’t matter people let them do what they say they’re going to do in their contract. And at the end of five years dump them if you don’t get what you want
We can't beat anyone in the NFC North.. Playoffs?!?!!?! LMAO!!!! 😂🤣 LOL!!!! oh lord..... ..... Will my Lions EVER be 1st in the division???? .... The franchise looks like an absolute steaming hot 💩 mess right now. ... Well God ... ... Obviously ... I hope so..... but ... yeah... THAT never happens ..... This team has looked like a poorly coached doo doo mess the past 2 years. Lions. Always finding a way to blow it. F word. (that's how I feel right now about the team)
Had a co worker today tell me today that Patricia is a good coach. Pulled my Boss to the side after and told him they should drug test said co worker.
jeremycounty did they drug test him?
FACTS
Lmaooooo
it feels good to.come back and watch all these old clips after what Brad and MCDC are building here is starting to take off. what a complete 180.
This just got recommended to me….
As we enter 2023, we have come a long way since this day lol what a time to be alive
They were legit "playoff contenders" when they fired Caldwell stating it was not good enough. Now for some reason 2YEARS LATER AND NUMEROUS DRAFT PICKS LATER it is. Grounds for termination alone!!
They weren't just contenders...THEY MADE THE FKN PLAYOFFS! But, hey, 9 and 7 wasn't good enough...

This is so sweet to watch in 2024
The Detroit Lions: An ATM for the Fords.
This aged well
Once again Mike has knocked it into the stratosphere!!
Absolutely correct on all angles
I love valenti because he keeps it real. He speaks the truth about those evil ladies in charge of our franchise. Keep the pressure on them valenti.

The fords don't care about winning and they don't care about the fans. Martha should of cleaned house. #SELLTHETEAM
She doesn’t care. Each Matlock could be her last, she’s just trying to spend her last few years in relative ease and comfort.
This organization is the most irrelevant franchise in football.

Where the hell is Jimmy Calwell.
He was an assistant in Miami. Left for health reasons.
The best part is they put Stafford on IR immediately after.
Wait until week 8 next year and we will be here again talking about draft picks that our gm does not know how to use!
I hear Utah State has an awesome TE maybe we can get him @ #2 lol
Seraphim Watson how about a tight end at No. 2 in the draft?
Who is still a Lions fan??? You have to be a giant loser to still be spending money on this team
Mikes reaction is what i would give too. It's like why in the sam hell would you let the crap continue for the Lions
"Werrrrrree Baaaaaack"
They were always coming back. It was a fever dream to think they wouldn't. Martha and Sheila are smart!
Agree I think there were a lot of positives this year
Explain how please. Because all I see are 2 good draft picks over 4 years, a defensive HC who calls his own plays and has one of the 5 worst defenses this season, and a bunch of people settling for the excuse of injuries when Mike just named 2 playoff teams (and 1 team who was in the hunt heading into the last 2 wks) who lost a ton of star players/starters.

"Doing what's best for the team" you mean what's best for your back account.
The Ford's don't care if they get a W or a L. As long as they sell a certain amount of seat per game, they are happy
Arthur Fonzarelli still doesn’t negate the fact that a empty Ford Field would be embarrassing. I believe the Fords do care enough if fans continue to support above the team excusea
Any random Lions fan would make better decisions as owner.
Does anyone actually think they'll get fired after next year? They'll have some injuries, go 7-9 or 8-8 and get another year. And the cycle of Lions ineptitude goes on, year after year, decade after decade.
Disco not a chance
What a great franchise 😆😆😆😆
Valenti was spot on here
Certainly don’t miss this frustration.
MC⚡️DC 🤘
Watching Mikes face while this is announced is even better than imagining it over the radio.
Isn't every team a playoff contender?
We should start a GoFundMe to put billboard around Detroit that say #SELLTHETEAM with Martha's face on it.
Better yet, how about a GoFundMe to buy the team from the Fords.
I have a hunch that they are rebuilding and didnt wanna come forward about it in 2018 when they hired Patricia
When you start a statement with "We know it may not be popular with the fans", you know the team doesn't give a flying fuck about you.
Jeff Bezos for owner 2021, prime shipping included 😀
Good post
Alexa, play defense.
12:13 For all the ones throwing the excuse of the injuries.
When you lose the fans and players, you fire everybody. We were trash when we were healthy, and the injuries are not a valid excuse. We sucked, suck, and will suck
the ad read at the end.. Lmao

The Lions hold a lead in nearly every single game, with or without Stafford and other major player injuries. And that was addressed in the letter to the fans. And yet a defensive HC, who calls the plays instead of the DC, can’t defend any lead and lose 9 straight. And in the same letter, claim injuries were the reason they didn’t make the playoffs, even with the leads in every game. This organization doesn’t make any sense.
How to get this podcast if I'm in another state?
Radio.com app (free) has 97.1, and the Valenti podcasts, crucial for out of state listeners
I prefer the radio.net app
Annnnnddddd their finally gone
Hope Brad Holmes and Dan Campbell clean up the mess Patricia and Quinn left them
They have and some!!
Finally quit this team. That was my straw. I'm done with football all together.
Steven Overmyer hello and Congratulations! I can say from experience that your Sundays will be much more enjoyable. My favorite team is always whoever the Lions are playing.
The lions aint shit1- 15 next season
10-6
At least the Bengals have the Number One pick...
I hope they lose every game until the fords sell the team
Batman me too brother. If they sold the team I would buy tickets.
Honestly it wouldnt had mattered either way if they did get fired this year. Do you really think Martha Ford would had found anyone better aside from the obvious decent coaching candidates? She would had ran back to the NFL and asked them to find someone for her.
Anything is better then the fat pos slob
This was spot on. 2020 was such a low point for that organization.
Every team is a “playoff contender” until December.
Nice expectations they set
Martha is spitting in the face of the fan base.
Does anyone know if Patricia improved on his tardiness???
Tardiness? He's been late on a consistent basis? Really? Wow.. unreal
Greg Murp Mike did a great segment on it. There was one meeting that Matt rescheduled for 30 minutes later, and then was 35 minutes late to even that.
Patricia is like kyles annoying ass cousin who won’t go away in South Park
So the Lions are saying that Quinn and Patricia will be fired after the 2021 season. Cool.
Martha & Sheila were being cheap. If they fired both Patricia & Quinn, they would've had to pay between 30 & 40 million to pay them off. They didn't want to do that!
Yes give them another chance guys ....y not one more year maybe they can do it
Tony V sarcasm?
This didn’t age well
No winning franchises constantly change coaches and GMs at a certain point you have to stick with what you have.
And yet they fired a head coach who had 3 winning seasons in 4 years
But hey, it's best for the team
It was best for the Fords. The team is a piggy bank for them.
They want their 3 wins 12 loss oh that tie too coach back? And because they said we be playoff contenders next season. All coaches say that their suppose to say that. Every team before the season starts is actually a playoff contender or are they? The Lions aren’t one of those teams and neither next year and every year because this team held hostage by the Ford Family doesn’t need to make it one.

Michael Lombardi?
BIG TRUSS!
Spielman also played for losing buckeye teams to Michigan and for Detroit he’s a good man for advice right?
Uggghh yeah?
So at one point Detroit was actually 3 wins 2 losses one tie then came the funky gb officiating which wasn’t the cause for the loss and go winless rest of the way. And they want em back wtf@@@@@
Martha Ford was not buying out the contracts of Patricia and Quinn she’s too cheap, this is not a surprise to me
Bingo
@Arthur Fonzarelli with 3 years left on there contacts it made Ford decision much easier to bring them back imo
I think Shiela is a more competent owner. Since she fired these bums at the same time.
And people will still sellout Ford Field for every game. Ford family knows this so why make changes?
Exactly.Why blame the owner when you at the same time give them money
Yup. It's a full house every week, filled with losers who continue to support the organization. Every year for 20-30 years, they continue to support the biggest group of losers in the history of the NFL. This will never stop.
