Brutally Honest Television Scroll

[djzielin]

7 members of the Millen family dislike this video

[nattylightinacan]

It took them some years to recover from Millen But the lions have really turned things around since. coincidence? lol

[DJBash82]

@nattylightinacan yes

[RyMicTheKing]

LMFAO, that was fuckin hilarious

[HollywoodSheen]

if TV was more like this, with networks actually having some balls and calling people out on shit instead of being vanilla pussies trying to appease everyone, then more people would start watching TV again.

[DiceCarlinKinison]

@HollywoodSheen you couldn't have said it better. 

[sambo179]

Hahaha. This guy is a dildo.

[HandofDoom01]

Sad because Matt was a really good linebacker in his day.

[Dogfacesoulja8582]

It blows my mind that a scumbag loser like this can be an analyst. ESPN hires the worst analyst ever. Everytime this asshole speaks, I just change the channel

[PorQuaProductions]

hahahaha oh my god, the more i read the funnier it got!

[deat3456w]

matt millen is the son of hitler. he ruined our seasons finally Jim kicked his ass out of office

[kg3441]

so hilarious.  haha.

[saygoon11]

When was millen fired?????who was his best draft pick?? C J????

[stealers408]

LOL!!!!! This dude is a jagoff, I dont understand how the fuck he's on television still after what he did to that franchise. Fuckin guy has some bad karma headed his way.

[airsoftsniper320]

Matt MIllen is a great announcer who says it like it is. We need more Matt Millens.

[deat3456w]

@airsoftsniper320 really dude he destroyed a 9-7 franchise to 0-16 franchise. you whant more of his shit! I HATE THIS DUDE HOW IS HE STILL ON TELEVISION!

[FeebleNosemanny]

@airsoftsniper320 We need more matt millens burning in eternal damnation is what you meant

[DivorceCourtTV]

OMG where was the ticker typer when Millen blew up at Steve Young

[BL00DLINE]

LOL that was funny!

[WayneJetski69]

Bobby Ross ruined the Lions

[mystical1034]

awesomeee

[DPA1288]

It's amazing he has three TV jobs (MNF analyst, college football commentator and Thursday night football commentator) while millions of people in America wonder where their next paycheck is coming from.

[Quizline89]

@shootergalin13 You're right, Matt Millen will be more of a Loser than I can ever imagine a man can be! As a player, he was at the right place at the right time. Nothing special. He destroyed the Detroit Lions franchise and still has the audacity to show up on our TV screens on football Sundays talking to us about football; a subject he clearly has no knowledge of after his awful display as GM of the Lions. So sir shootergalin13, you shut up! He's a great guy to draft busts, not talk football

[tjstevens74]

@Quizline89

Matt may not have been the best GM, actually did a bad job... but DON'T EVER DISPARAGE HIS PLAYING. Dude was a beast on the field and has more football sense than you'll ever have even if given 100 lifetimes. I have no doubt that in a 1 on 1 debate of football he would make you look ridiculous and stupid.

[idontknowanothername]

@tjstevens74 Like his knowledge of draft picks and free agent acquisitions? People are too funny.

[tjstevens74]

@idontknowanothername didn't Millen draft Megatron, arguably a top 3 receiver in the NFL last few years? And drafting is hit-and-miss, hell, my RAIDERS drafted Jamarcus Russell... can't get any worse than that. I don't know what he did for FA acquisitions, I'm a RAIDERS fan, not a Lions fan. But all you clowns that think you know more about football or could do a better job than Millen... WAKE UP, BITCHES. If you could you would but you're not so shut the fuck up.

[idontknowanothername]

@tjstevens74 Another You Tube, internet tough guy. Ok here you go "bitch":

2007: 1. Steve Smith 2. Chad Johnson 3. Roy Williams (who's garbage now)

2008: 1. Andre Johnson 2. Larry Fitzgerald 3. Steve Smith

2009: 1. Larry Fitzherald 2. Randy Moss 3. Andre Johnson

For as high as I think of Calvin Johnson and his ability he's not arguably one of the top 3 receivers in the NFL the last few years, just this year. I guess SI, Bleach Report, etc, are "clowns" as well.

[tjstevens74]

@idontknowanothername So, uh, how did you come up with these players by year? How did they get ranked? By catches, yards, TDs, etc? Thanks for throwing some names out there, now it'd be great if you could elucidate on why they're ranked as such by year. :P

And Megatron has been touted as a top WR since he got in the NFL, justly so... his freakish size and speed (reminds me of Herman Moore) is impressive. Steve Smith is hardly a top 3 WR, or I'd hear about him all the time. Which I don't. ;/

[idontknowanothername]

@tjstevens74 You're welcome for the names. It's quite simply really, you can do one of a few things. Google "Top NFL Receivers 200*" fill in the blank. Or go to the NFL website like I did and scroll over "Stats". A drop down menu will appear from there select "Historical Stats". Scroll down to "Inside the Numbers" and you can get a PDF report. Because "Top 3 Receivers" earn that label by production. CJ's name is nowhere on that list. Steve Smith however is there for receiving yards.

[middleofthemitten]

@tjstevens74 stevens never once have i heard this moron say anything intelligent he sucks .....probably ur wanker

[tjstevens74]

@middleofthemitten if you got that cock out of your ear you'd know better. No one will deny Millen did a bad job as a GM, not even Millen himself. But to think he's a moron just makes you look like an idiot, and I'll say it again he's forgotten more about football than you'll ever know in 100 lifetimes.

"...he sucks... probably ur wanker." (ha ha ha, I'm so funny...) Dont' quit'cher day job, funny man, Lord knows you don't have much to offer after janitor.

[middleofthemitten]

@tjstevens74 your either millen or one of his gay lovers. Anyone who has a winning percentage near 25% doesnt know football (and he had a decade as a decision maker). Thats factual moron what can you point too....hmm calling moronelli the best coach he has been around on thursday night football or callin jaws a pollack or maybe johnny morton a fag....that send shivers up your leg....if your going to comment at least sound intelligent.

[tjstevens74]

@middleofthemitten First you call me a fag, then you rip Millen for his comment to Morton... don't talk to me about intelligence, meatball, and stop deluding yourself into thinking you know more about football than Millen (or anyone else for that matter).

As for Millen's 25% winning percentage, that may be awful, but lets be honest, when have the Lions ever been any good in the last 50 years? Answer: 2 or 3 years when Barry was carrying the offense, and thats a fact.

[middleofthemitten]

@tjstevens74 My comment is true...anyone deluding himself into believing Millen is a football experi is showing a lot of man love and the only rational explanation is to question whether you have a crush....to actually comment that he knows football fresh after a 25% winning percentage, his picks remaing on the lions being two bad o-lineman and cj with nearly all picks out of the nfl, devoiding the team of all talent after the lions were 9-7, building an 0-16 franchise would be crazy, irrational

[yougotmikelopez]

Should have never fired Wayne Fontes then huh??

[dzucch]

awesome

[Jdub14000]

I rememer watching this!!!!!!!!! So Funny!!

[theodrin1]

Matt Millen as bad as he was is not the problem in Detroit...it is your owner.

[krinkly]

i will never forgive matt millen for my lost decade as a lions fan. he is the worst thing that ever happened to detroit sports.

[phantom1567]

Why does Matt Millen even have a job that involves football anymore? Everything he touches turns to poo....

[mrphodigi59]

Hey, Matt Knows how to break things down.... Look at what he did for the LIONS. Matt will be remembered as a great linebacker and a better farmer. You don't have to be able to judge other talent to tackle or handle a hoe. More on Tiger Woods later.

[slapshot89]

how did this clown get a job like that.....who the hell is gonna take what he has to say seriously, for god sakes he rebuilt for 8 years culminating with an 0-16 season

[onehitta1]

LOL

Poor Matt, what a way to be remembered; not as a player, but as a failure...

[BBCater]

The Matt Millen hire as President and GM of ANY football team MUST go down in the annals of sports history as the WORST decision anyone ever made about ANYTHING. He was/is all ego, and no substance. It SICKENS me that he found a rebound opportunity anywhere NEAR football after his ABYSMAL performance as the most INCOMPETENT and EGOTISTICAL General Manager who ever received a salary from a professional sports organization. He should be required to do United Way spots until he dies. 31-97 record.

[tate22000]

Matt Millen is a devote coward

[jwill5587]

Matt Millen is an idiot. Every time they ask him a question on ESPN he gives the most basic, rudimentary answers. He'll say something like "generally, whoever has the most points at the end of the 4th quarter will win the game." Gee, thanks Matt. I can see why he was a failure.

[graysonTW]

@jwill5587 ; all American at Penn State, an 11 year NFL career that included 4 Super Bowl championships, a 7 year career as an NFL executive, and now a career in TV.

we should all experience this type of "failure" in life!...........tehe!

[Kenner81]

Indeed, it's not because sports radio talk shows said Millen sucks, that we believed it, it was his performance. I mean they got rid of Fontes, and the sports radio talk shows were calling for that, and I never agreed with such (Any coach that can get his team to the championship game within his first three years of coaching isn't half bad) But Millen had no upside, Indeed if not for Ford Jr (who is my hero now), saying how he wanted to fire Millen, Ford Sr would've kept him on another year

[cd637299]

What amazes me is that WDIV had the....um....intestinal fortitude to actually run this, right during a network show, of which they are an affiliate.

[Quizline89]

Matt Millen must be great friends with George W. Bush, Dickhead Cheney, and Donald Rumsfeld... They're all miserable failures! NBC must have owed William Clay Ford a favor if Matt Millen found another job football related.

[ohioworststate]

HEY!!!! You forget Matt Millen allowed not one terrorist attack at Ford Field after 9/11!!!!

He's a hero....you can't judge millens legacy now... you have to wait for historians to do that...

BUSH AND MILLEN ARE THE FACES OF A TERRIBLE DECADE FOR THE MOTOR CITY

[ZePHANT0M]

@Quizline89

Well then, they should hire on Obama, Biden, Pelosi, and Reid - they are doing SO much better at running our government than Bush did that they could certainly produce a super bowl ring every year, don't you think? OH - and I hear that Bawney Fwank is available for the VP of Finance spot.

By the way - Obama and his crew are doing such a bang up job - so why are we still talking about Bush for, anyway? Hmmm - why do we still have any problems at all with the Messiah in charge?

[Zoyous]

Matt Millen was not only bad at his job, on a personal level he has no class.

[gordo193]

not fake, i remember seeing this "live" that day...it was awewsome

[silverbluejc]

Too bad its fake though

[KUTroy]

Doubt if this is fake, they discussed it on PTI.

[cw1310]

@KUTroy It is not fake. Isaw it live at the time.

[MEAD127]

and your stupid...

[andrew4531]

this is not fake, i live in detroit, while i didnt watch the super bowl on channel 4 since i was in a different city that day, it was all that was talked about on the local sports talk 97.1 for many days

[mronceaday]

I saw it with my own two eyes.

[cw1310]

@silverbluejc It is not fake. Ilive near Detroit, and I get all the Detroit stations. I remember seeing this live at the time. Also remember thinking, that WDIV had a lot of guts to do this. Why would you think this is fake? Do think everything in life is a conspiracy theory?

[silverbluejc]

HAHAHA that was awesome!!!

[BurrWaffle]

fuck millen

[Chick6517]

I heard about this video! my friends were talking about it for some reason. haha I finally decided to watch this youtube pretty cool

[pcluis60804]

94fordtaurus....

I SECOND THAT MOTION!

[94fordtaurus]

You shouldn't have dropped out of high school, sir.

[PYLrulz1984]

94fordtaurus, you shouldn't have been dropped on your head when you were born

[94fordtaurus]

Maybe it helped. I think for myself, I don't take marching orders from sports talk radio dweebs and Lions fans on the bottle.

[PYLrulz1984]

I dont like it when people act like a bunch of sheep myself, but lets be honest. Millen ran the Lions into the ground. There is no two ways around it. Its ok to think that. Every fan of every team knows it. This isn't some knee jerk reaction where some jerkoff sports talk radio host, or talking head tv analyst, its the truth.

[94fordtaurus]

You need an intellectual bailout, don't you son? I say you should start small, maybe with Dora The Explorer books.

[Quizline89]

Matt Millen will forever be synonymous with the epitome of atrocious. However, NBC continues to slap football fans in the face by having "0-16" speak like he still has credibility left after his display of 8 miserable seasons at the helm for the Lions. And people think he's a good analyst? No, he's an expert bullshitter.

[thepower1802]

Lol whoever ran that needs a promotion.

[popbanks007]

@thepower1802 Screw the promotion, this person needs to pimp out his scroll righting prowess to all major cable news/sports channels! lol

[DontHateOnDonnie]

hahahahahaha. thats fuckin awesome

[phoskins]

Yea, Matt Millen ran the Lions, a franchise dedicated to championships and winning, into the ground in his 8 years. Before that they were the pinnacle of the NFL, right?

[MindGeyser]

No, but they made the playoffs a couple of times and weren't laughingstocks.

[AmbassadorButa]

"The way WDIV did it was unprofessional, cheap, and even cowardly. At least Millen owned up to his incompetence on national TV on an interview during NBC's football coverage. "

Millen owned up in the EASIEST manner possible - a bunch of soft tosses from one of his new coworkers not even a week after the team he rode into the ground completed the first 0-16 season ever. He never actually did face Detroit itself. Rod Marinelli was twice the man Millen will ever be.

[PYLrulz1984]

Couldnt of said it better myself.

Even to the teams i hate the most (Cowboys, Giants, Redskins), I wouldnt wish Matt Millen on them. The guy is an absolute dolt of the worst kind.

[dpeasant]

Millen picked the Cardinals to win the Super Bowl.

Yeah.

[94fordtaurus]

So? Several personalities picked the Cardinals, including former Steeler (now NFL Network analyst) Rod Woodson. Everyone else had a 50-50 chance of picking it right, can you prove Millen had different odds? This is a nitpick.

[afroboy256]

Good stuff.

[paternagnstuser]

haha

this douchebag is the last person I want talking about football

he obviously doesnt know a damn thing

[chivasusa]

NBC is the horrible ever since Tom B left.

[oohmcreary]

that is epic.

[MMABuddha]

true!

[ShawnieMac]

Only in Detroit...lol

Of course, if WDIV was actually owned by NBC, they would have never pulled this off.

[cuckyourfunt]

F-ing Sweet!!!

[dash132]

I love it. Fuck you Millen

[Dmens84]

WDIV Channel 4 has balls. . .being from the Detroit-Windsor area, this is nothing more than stating the obvious. The fact that they did this at the Super Bowl is comedy. Millen knows he did a shitty job, WDIV just confirmed it via scrolling text.

As for Millen. . . if you guided / had a hand in establishing the worst team in the history of the NFL, there must be a 2-3 year moratorium on being able to have a job as an analyst.

[franchise002000]

Please...the players get paid no matter what. They're under contract and protected by the NFL labor agreements. But you can't holistically blame Millen and the Fords when you keep feeding into the machine that finds QB's that step on the boundary line for 2 pts.

[ph00pie]

Oh please. Leave it alone already. What I hear you saying is there has never been a safety in the history of the NFL before 2008? Leave your ignorance at home.

[franchise002000]

LMAO not like that one. I implore you to find me one in the annals of NFL history.

[breakfastclub2]

This is true. After he ran outta bounds, he kept the play alive like he was still IN bounds. That had me cracking up

[bremenlegation]

millen showed that he knows jackshit about running a football team.

i saw nothing wrong with the scrolling message.

[knoxville3353]

I'm glad that a major television channel rolled this in detroit during the best time... when the most people would be watching that one channel. Instead of dancing around the issue, they showed detroit that they have the balls to say it. Millen sucks. Hopefully Bill Davidson will buy the lions from Ford as he is the last cancerous cell.

[Bendingo70]

The only job Millen deserves involves a glory hole

[94fordtaurus]

While I'm sure this got laughs all over Detroit, that doesn't change the fact that it was very unprofessional for WDIV-TV 4 to do this. NBC can't be happy as their affiliate basically underminded its national Super Bowl XLIII coverage with a joke news crawl. I don't think Channel 4 wants to make this a habit.

[Deuce0922]

WDIV only told the truth. It's not like they came out and fabricated anything. Or used profanity and put him down. A spade is a spade and it is what it is. I wish they would of had booing in the background whenever he started to talk.

[94fordtaurus]

The way WDIV did it was unprofessional, cheap, and even cowardly. At least Millen owned up to his incompetence on national TV on an interview during NBC's football coverage. Channel 4 had to play 'gotcha!' when Millen wasn't in a position to defend himself. If trashing the man really equals the truth and you have to say it, do a commentary on it on the next newscast, not a petty graphic.

[bookoute]

It didn't seem to be trashing as much as stimulating what was already on all of Detroit's mind.

[BMacW650]

You must be Millen's bitch

[94fordtaurus]

No, just someone with a brain. What's your excuse?

[BMacW650]

For christ sake. It's television. How many people before this day know the detroit local NBC channel is called WDIV?

What they did is local, fun, true and witty. There is nothing wrong with it. It no different from Jay Leno making fun of W Bush on national TV. it's just stating the obvious.

So unless you are so closely related to the Ford family (judging from your screen name :D) or you are got something to do with millan, I don't see why you can't take it lightly like everyone else.

[94fordtaurus]

Crap, you've figured me out. I AM a member of the Ford family, and instead of doing my part to fix the family company, I'm choosing to respond to jerk YouTube commenters who insult former pro football employees. You guys win, I'll go back to work right now.

Seriously, you idiots can continue with your mindless groupthink if you want, but all of the Matt Millen hatred in the world won't do jack to make the Lions contenders. The sooner you get over it, the sooner your team moves forward.

[huntnd]

Somehow, I don't think the fans getting over it or not has jack goddamn motherfucking shit to do with what happens with the Lions on the field.

[cw1310]

@BMacW650 your right that is millen's bitch. He told so him self.

[SpinKicksusplits86]

quoting Deuce0922:

"WDIV only told the truth. It's not like they came out and fabricated anything. Or used profanity and put him down. A spade is a spade and it is what it is. I wish they would of had booing in the background whenever he started to talk. "

------------------------------

That would have been perfect. I'd also like to hear some really obnoxious hissing.

[richardtheconquerer]

The only thing unprofessional was NBC hiring this guy and trying to pass him off as credible. I wish my local channel ran that crawl across the screen because I guarantee everyone watching was thinking "What the hell does this guy know?"

[joensj]

Why am I not surprised?  One would never expect to see the words "Detroit" and "class" in the same sentence - not without a "no" appearing as well.

A genuinely cheap shot.

[franchise002000]

Detroit fans have no one but themselves to blame. You dipshits kept paying into the franchise with tickets, jerseys & merchandise, parking meters, whatever the fuck.

[Deuce0922]

Yeah Franchise, shame on us for supporting our team through thick and thin. I guess we could of just abandoned them and came back when they eventually became good. Oh wait, we're not Cardinal fans.

[InterimInequities]

So your thoughts are that if there is one or two people in the franchise you despise, you should blacklist every single one of the players and personnel who are still working their asses off to turn the team around?

This is our team, not Millen's team.

[hodgins]

LOL Of the day

[exkwconch]

Awesome, totally awesome.

[miamiraider25]

the lions have always been the worst team in football though

[proxus]

kudos to Channel 4 - well done.

[breakfastclub2]

You get what you deserve in life. It's not that it was harsh, it was the truth. Sorry Matt, but you suck monkey balls when it comes to being an GM

[94fordtaurus]

Why was it necessary for a news station to run this crawl? What was news worthy about it? And what did Millen's ongoing comments have to do with the Lions?

WDIV got its laughs but this was an unprofessional thing to do.

[tjkrz]

It's utterly childish. It's amazing that they stooped to this level.

[breakfastclub2]

What made it crawl worthy is the fact that this guy engineered the single worst football season EVER! Why is he analyzing the SB? There are credability issues there. You can analyze and talk til the cows come home but it does'nt mean shit because if he knew what he was talking about, the product he presided over for 8 of THEE worst years in sports history would'nt have been that bad. Dont feel bad for him. He has a new job. He just does'nt deserve it.

[wesv71]

even though that happened. he was still a great football player with 4 superbowl rings. no one ever talks about that. he did a HORRIBLE job as a GM, but he is still credible enough to talk on TV, because he does know football, he does however SUCK on personnel.

[94fordtaurus]

This is the fairest conclusion one could reach. Millen's 'punishment' will be that he won't be allowed within miles of a football front office.

[breakfastclub2]

Okay so it was'nt profesional. I think you have to think about the fans of Detroit. Not that sports=life but football is huge in every professional city. And the fact that he's talking about football, let alone the biggest game in the sport, is gonna draw a reaction from every Detroit fan and apparently some network affiliates. Im not saying its right but i don't think its wong either.

[frylord]

That is just awesome. Millen deserves nothing but the worst from Lions fans. Why NBC hired this loser is beyond me.

[ROLtheWolf]

Man, that must have ruffled NBC head office to have the affiliate mocking their commentator.

I bet the lawyers are already swapping a ton of threat e-mails.

[94fordtaurus]

You're right ROL: While this might have gotten some laughs at the WDIV-TV 4 studios and viewers, you have to wonder what NBC thinks. I'm not going to say the network will pull their affiliation or anything, but they can't be pleased.

[JPPT1974]

Well, he was responsible for his team, going 0-16. No wonder, he was canned.

[anniedawg25]

dang I must have missed this....judging by the empty seats in the background it must have been during the 4 hour pre-game show :)

Major props for Channel 4 for doing this...everyone at the party I was at thought it was a colossal JOKE for Millen to even be within 500 miles of the superbowl, let alone a freakin' NBC commentator. Seriously, what was NBC thinking when they hired him?????

[jjkakdb]

Another thought - Al Gore's "theory" of Global Warming must be that a group of yo-yo's took readings from the hot air Millen spewed out on Sunday.

[wmdboxer]

Millen should be on "America's Most Wanted", not the NBC Super Bowl shows.

Great job Millen, you piece of filth. You pulled the wool over the eyes of a drunken old man and robbed him of millions while destroying the Lions franchise, breaking the spirit of the Lions' fanbase and losing a generation of Lions fans in the process

Shame on you NBC for giving this piece of garbage another job in the football world

[94fordtaurus]

So Millen shouldn't be able to get another job on TV, where he was actually SUCCESSFUL?

[jjkakdb]

Just read this on freep(dot)com. This is great. Fire Millen (from NBC!!)
