GM Matt Millen talks about 2008 NFL Draft

[DETROIT2MILWAUKEE]

cliff avril and of course megatron are the only 2 good picks this idiot made as gm

[RyMicTheKing]

Cliff Avril was actually a good pick! Cherilus still starts and I think Fluellen is still on the team too

[Pontini26]

The only good pick from that draft was our 5th pick from the 3rd round. Avril baby, Avril.

[tstarr17]

can't believe he didn't draft a WR

[Merdesigns]

Mllen talks out his ass in the interview. The NFL is a pass first league, your in an indoor stadium. Why run when you can throw for 300 yards a game. Thank god he is gone for you Detriot fans.

[CJohannes039]

besides cliff avril that whole draft sucked lol

[nwo4life2111]

2 years later lions draft Best lol

[someymehra]

let me guess he drafted a WR?

[soadisthebestnumber1]

hands down best gm in the 2000s

[bluetiege]

Cherilus is horrible, absolutely horrible. Millen should shut his big fat redneck uneducated mouth. this is a guy who was easily the most incompetent GM, assessor of talent and football mind in the entire history of the NFL when he was with Detroit. An idiot who blew one 1st round pick after another. An idiot who drafted 3 WR;s in round 1 when he had no defense, no QB and no O line.

[delacerdaa]

The chick is hot!! Not Millen.....the chick with the long blonde hair. LOL

[fishoil74]

What a joke! How does this guy have a job analyzing the NFL?

[conshaunery]

millen would draft you because of your mean streak

[tate22000]

Fuck you millen

[Quizline89]

If Matt Millen had 1,000 chances to hit a baseball in Pee-Wee league... he'd strike out all 1,000 times.

[TheNintendoPlan]

But he'd be hit by one in the belly, giving him a walk ( a VEEEEEEERY slow walk).

[fishdog72]

they better take defense, defense, defense, and more defense

[SLAUGHTERHOUSEENT313]

rey maualuga usc !

[muellej6]

With the first choice in the 2009 draft, the Detroit Lions select Michael Crabtree!

[SLAUGHTERHOUSEENT313]

yea and I'll shoot my brains out

[arequipa1]

it's funny watching this in light of knowing they wouldn't go on to win a game all season.

they wouldn't go on to have a garden-variety BAD season... they went on to a historically GODAWFUL season!

[slamiversary]

Matt Millen is just a liiiiiiittle bit retarded.

[UberKrispy]

Its comical to listen to this shithead talking like he knows what the fuck he's talking about. Gosder cherilous is a false start penalty machine. Another 1st round dud. Millen has shit between his ears.

[slbiggs36]

Don't get too excited. The Fords are only going to hire another cronie just like him.

[bkm6168]

the lions didnt even draft a qb instead they got more shitty defensive lineman and a runningback ive never even heard of hahahaha!

[ldc62]

u never heard of K smith... he got more yards in college ever in his conference

[bkm6168]

i know, im just being sarcastic cuz the lions aint got any talent haha

[ldc62]

Calvin Johnson???

[TrochM]

lol he ran our team worse than my 11 year old sister could playing madden

[FIGHTonSC84]

Matt Millen sucks dick. Worst GM of all time.

[nyyankeefan2009]

HA HA HA cocksucker u got fired!!!!!!!1

[mvrugby04]

alex flanigan is hot

[Reip187]

GOODBYE COCKSUCKER!

[Quizline89]

Poor bastard will never be remembered as a great football player but rather as a loser who had no idea what the hell he was doing pressing Detroit Lions buttons in all the wrong ways! From the '84 World Series, the Red Wings Stanley Cup Championships, the Pistons '04 title, September 24th, 2008 "Millen Fired" the most memorable moments!

[94football94]

HES GONE!!!!!!!!! FIRED happy fire millen day Lion fans!

[31uniformbigwill]

I'll drink to that!

[mwolverines41]

good thing he was not the GM in 1988 we would have ended up with Eric Moore insted of Barry

[GobBluth1]

worst general manager ever but the fact that old man ford refuses to fire him makes Ford the worst sports owner ever.

[ashsingh525]

Shutup Matt...you are a damn fool! The 1st pick of every Millen draft was for offense - Only Exception - Ernie Sims...and wait a minute, geez that turned out pretty good. Maybe defense does win championships? The whole City of Detroit Hates him. Surprised he hasnt been beat down yet.

[gostate51]

The most delusional man in Sports history. They lost 31-13 but hey, they practiced great right?

[rjl2000]

Someone please tell me how it's possible Matt Millen still has a job in Detoit? Year after year this goes on and year after year the Lions suck!

[Quizline89]

31-84!

[superflyamadeus]

wonder if they should have taken otah instead of gosder... hopefull i turn out to be wrong.

[steinbra27]

fuck millen

[tate22000]

I hope you have a massive stroke and fall onto and kill Old Man Ford Millen you worthless piece of shit.

Irony: He talks about things you cant teach: instinct. Apparently piece of shit here doesnt have it himself. Go Fuck yourself

[firehawk0989]

Worst GM in the history of football...For some reason this idiot thinks drafting a WR every year solves you problems.

[soccerstud9000]

millen you fucking blow you piece of shit...get into a car crash and die...the lions suck and i solely blame it on you...im a die hard lions fan and i hate you

[Quizline89]

The NFL should buy out the Fords and sell the team to a person with ambition to "winning." That new owner will clean house and millen would be the first to go. Until the fords continue to make winning their last priority, matt millen will be the incumbent and the team will never see an at least an 8-8 season! At 31-81 under millen, the Fords think he's doing an excellent job! This interview should have been on Comedy Central, not the NFL Network.

[philis05]

FIRE MILLEN!!!

[dwightk15]

he goes to my church!~

[EBAfan]

Matt Millen is a joke.

[CKO92]

@EBAfan A joke by someone with a sick sense of humor.

[mleib17]

Fire this moron.

[mleib17]

Come on Millen why didn't you draft Devin Thomas? He's a WR and he's from Michigan State!

[yepyepok]

Millen is a great GM. Blame it on the shitty QB's. Batch, McMahon, Harrington, Kitna. Kitna sucks. You could argue these QB's would be better with better blocking. However Batch plays for the steelers and is a 3rd stringer. harrington did nothing with the dolphins. and mcmahon, where is he, 3rd string philly?

[jake22919]

Blame his horrible record on the Qb's?? Are you kidding? Its all Matt Millens fault. Before he became GM the team actually had a decent shot at making the playoffs. Now they dont even have a decent shot at winning 7 games. There is noooo way he should have gotten a contract extension after turing this franchise into a joke

[Gaos03]

You saying that Millen is a great GM is BY FAR THE WORST STATEMENT EVER MADE!!!!!!!!! He is a complete and utter failure and living in Michigan I know first hand how big a fool he is. You are an idiot for saying Millen is a great GM. What do you see in him? Since being in Detroit he has drafted only skill positions high, ignored offensive line, called players on his team cowards, and become the single biggest failure in all of sports.

[CountBleck2007]

Not only that, but did you know that other GM think he is the worst GM in the history of the NFL. Some GM have had to walk Millen through trades so he would understand them. They laugh at him whenever they see him. I say this now all the time with the Lions. Yes Marinelli is trying to change the culture, but this is still a Ford owned team, and Millen is still the GM, and until that changes then we will never reach or win the superbowl.

[Crabman2186]

@Gaos03 i agree if there is a list of worst GM's in the history of the NFL he better be #1 he is a poor judgement of talent only cared about the Highlights instead of looking close on backrounds and get to know the player he was drafted. How different would the lions be if they got that RB they are talking about in that video how different would they be if they had A.Johnson how different would the team be if they drafted just those 2 guys alone. Millen's face is a target in Detroit i bet =p

[SuperDroogie187]

The ONLY reason that bonehead Matt Millen drafted an offensive lineman with a first round pick is for PR. Kitna was sacked more than any other QB in the league, and Millen WANTED to draft Limas Sweed with a First, but the night before the draft, his Lions war room was urinated on by the "Fire Millen" Movement, who also threatened to publicly burn him in effigy if he ever used another First on a Wide Receiver, and did not use a First on an offensive lineman.

[igglefan912]

Cherilus is a future pro-bowl RT. And Dizon is a solid pick in round 2. Kevin Smith is a good back who should start right away. Not a great draft, but a solid draft by millen(holy crap, did I just say that?)

[traminger]

I'll give Millen on the first round.. But Dizon in the second round?

[gostate51]

Fire Millen

[RCmack]

If I could give you 10 plus ratings, I would.

Gosder Cherilus was beaten regularly as an offensive tackle at Boston College. He's lucky he didn't get QB Matt Ryan killed.

I feel sorry for Jon Kitna.

[clossonchris]

i hate you matt millen
