They don't like Matt Millen in Detroit.

The former Lions president, fired in September after an NFL-worst 31-84 run, appeared on NBC on Sunday as an analyst during the network's Super Bowl coverage.

The Detroit NBC affiliate ran a disclaimer crawl on the screen when Millen appeared on camera that suggests it did not approve of the network's decision to hire Millen:

"Matt Millen was president of the Lions for the worst eight-year run in the history of the NFL. Knowing his history with the team, is there a credibility issue as he now serves as an analyst for NBC Sports? ..."

NBC Sports chairman Dick Ebersol defended the decision to hire Millen last week.

"He's a hell of a broadcaster," Ebersol said. "That's how I look at it. I wasn't looking at him as a general manager."

What a joke. How he can still find a job at anywhere except at a Burger King is beyond me. He must have jerked off a lot of high up people.

The guy isn't a good GM, but he's a good NFL analyst. I don't get why people are have a problem with him. Tim Hasslebeck is an analyst on ESPN. He's only started 5 total games at QB in his NFL career. At least Millen has championship rings.

Give the guy a break.

I was a 49er fan when he won those rings, so I was a fan. But, he has devastated a team that might not ever recover from his poor decisions. And then throw in the economic situation in Michigan. They might be the LA Lions before long. No he should just go away. Good thing I can't stand the NBC preshow so I didn't see any of him this year.

Well, I think NBC's game coverage has become a joke. At least Millen is a football guy, he may serve as an example of how NOT to try to put together a team. That said, it's far worse with NBC's attempts to boost Olberman's ratings by putting his mug on there. I thought poltical commentators were supposed to be persona non grata after Limbaugh's run on ESPN. Costas is OK, Collingsworth is a joke as well. I do like how Faith Hill looks, though. Call me old fashioned...

      Slowing my roll on Ward (for now)

      Him and Sanders are the only QBs I would consider in the first round. I won’t be upset if we take Sanders, unlike some people on the board. Both have potential to be really good NFL QBs if the teams can develop them.  But as we have seen teams are not willing or are unable to now properly develop rookie QBs.

      Because Young is so historically bad that it just skews too far outside the normal deviations that perspective is easily lost. That or they just don't want to believe it.  The struggles last year would have been more about the infighting and poor roster building or idiot owner's hiring practices than with Stroud. He wouldn't have been as good but he wouldn't have been ruined here and the pressure was not Carr-esk if you take out the Young created portion from his playing style.  Dude is a young guy on a team coached by a Defensive guy building a good D but not building up the O in year 2 of his HC 1st time gig. Seems familiar... Go look at his output this year and not just some crappy Thursday night implosion game, I would take that in a second and never ever look back every time without a shred of doubt while eating 4 of those games a year with a giant smile on my face.
