LISTEN: Mike Valenti absolutely buries the Detroit Lions
Currently sitting at 0-2 to start the young season, the Detroit Lions playoff chances all but officially evaporated Sunday against the San Francisco 49ers in a 30-27 loss. Of course, with it being a particularly frustrating setback given that the team fell behind by a 30-13 score before attempting a comeback, you just knew the team would earn the wrath of the most opinionated sports talk host in Detroit.
97.1 The Ticket’s Mike Valenti absolutely ripped into the Lions on Monday afternoon, comparing every Monday show following a Lions game to the classic film “Groundhog Day” in that it’s the same routine over and over again. He also urged Lions fans to stop wasting their time with the team, because nothing ever changes.
