The truth behind the Lions switch to AM

[Mitchrapp]

Could you imagine if the Lions were in a big market?

They should be thankful to be in this area.

They should also be thankful we all (the faithful stupid) still watch their sorry asses.

Valenti lies and doesn't know very much about football. He's a basher to get ratings.

The future and the talent is the focus. Starting on Sunday.

Didn't stop 11-5 2014. Won't stop a strong 2015 finish. Won't have anything to do with 2016.

Lions were right to dump the trash in Valenti. Now get Drew Sharp and maybe some negative fans too (ban them from Ford Field for life)

 

[SpartyNash]

They are getting rid of negativtiy on their own broadcast network. Lions broadcast network shouldn't be bashing the lions.

Let Valenti talk. He's a hater without facts.

This is laughable at the least. So they should act all jolly and happy and not criticize a last place team that gets their asses kicked by 30+ to the Chiefs and Cardinals?

The Lions broadcast network yes. Anyone else can bash. Not the Lions broadcast network.

 

[LKP]

Chiefs are hot (3 in a row with a great defense) and Cards a good team (aided by 6 turnovers).

So you were pissed at Dan Miller and Jim Bradstatter for heavily criticizing the loss to Arizona on air? "Tough loss today everyone but we are still the best team in the NFL and we will win every game played from here on for the rest of time!"

Pretty sure LKP is the PR President.

They can talk about certain plays and dissect what happened. They can point out the positives. Don't just blindly say they suck like Valenti and point to 50 years that have nothing to do with the current game.

Blind negativity is thrown away. Lions were smart to change stations.

It's obvious when someone isbashing just to bash. And Valenti is obvious. He gone

I don't care if they were the 72 Dolphins, losing by 30 plus is worthy of being critical of the team on the losing end.

They lost due to turnovers that got a evenly matched game out of control. Some were just great plays (Redding that he would never make 9 more times out of 10), some was Calvin making the wrong read. Abdullah needs to hold onto the ball but he's a good talent.

Lions had a bad run D day. Missing Ngata and Walker and Levy was a gimp.

I think if replayed we could beat Cardinals more time than naught.

 

[Mitchrapp]

Evenly matched, lol. That's a hoot.

 

[LKP]

Evenly matched, lol. That's a hoot.

If we were healthy yes and had 2014 Bell and 2013 Tulloch and Waddle (the true potential of those players without injury concerns). Ngata and Walker didn't play. Levy was a gimp who played the half.

But the Lions will reload at MLB,SS,DE,DT, power back and RT this offseason. Laken, Abdullah and Swanson will grow. Stafford, Calvin,Tate, Ebron, Reiff and Warford are good players.

11 picks and plenty of cap space.

Radio is media exposure. Media exposure is a "one hand washes the other" affair. When you give a station access to your team, the expectation is better press.

I'd have cut ties too. No team need the hassle of a radio guy making the fans more negative than they already are. It's the right business move for the Lions.

It's called trade-out, and the Lions weren't getting their end of that. It's not a muzzle, it's advertising.

They're leaving one of the highest rated FM stations in the country, for an AN station that doesn't even do sports. And they didn't give 97.1 very good access, that came out today too.

The Lions come out looking like the idiots they are. They gave up a ton of exposure because they demanded the station fire a guy who they couldn't control. They look like a joke. The station picked Valenti over the Lions and I bet they laughed their asses off when the Lions have them the ultimatum.

 

[LKP]

Lions dumped the negativity. Everyone has AM. they listen because of the Lions not because of the jackass Valenti.

 

[Mitchrapp]

If we were healthy yes and had 2014 Bell and 2013 Tulloch and Waddle (the true potential of those players without injury concerns).

And 1997 Barry Sanders, and 1956 Bobby Layne, and 1978 Bubba Baker..

 

[dubbsco]

Lol. AM went out with powdered wigs.

You know the poor Lions called 97.1 EVERY DAY and told them what to talk about. Yeah clearly, Lions didn't care about them.
