Pot Odds RAC 23 Posted January 3, 2009 Share Posted January 3, 2009 Seriously - how does this guy survive after being a self admitted failure in Detroit? Link to post Share on other sites
runthemover 40 Posted January 3, 2009 Share Posted January 3, 2009 I've heard tons of people say he was a great analyst back in the day. He's been around for a while so he knows people and probably has friends in the business. Different world TV and the game itself. Link to post Share on other sites
BigDMcGee 3,367 Posted January 3, 2009 Share Posted January 3, 2009 Seriously - how does this guy survive after being a self admitted failure in Detroit?I remember him being a really good, high energy, fun and funny color man, poised to be the next Madden, but it's been like 10 years since I've heard him, so who knows. I did like the way he completely owned up to the Detroit failure in the Dan Patrick interview. Link to post Share on other sites

BigDMcGee 3,367 Posted January 4, 2009 Share Posted January 4, 2009 He has to be a better commentator then he was a GM.He's a better duck than he was a GM too. And he's not much of a duck, frankly. Link to post Share on other sites

DrawingDeadInDM 0 Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 I actually thought he was a pretty decent analyst before becoming the GM of the Lions.Millen really can't be completely blamed for his flop there. I mean, you're dealing with an organization who went up to the play-by-play booth to get their General Manager. Link to post Share on other sites

YOu can blame the owner, for hiring him, because they heard a game and were like "Say.. that guy really knows his football.. hey Bob.. get that guy!!!" Link to post Share on other sites
