Who Cares How Late You Are

[tigermud]

Eh, that's so beyond ridiculous. What in the holy hell did these coaches do to get everyone's respect, and then the media is the one that takes the scorn from fans? Does Patricia have pictures of people's wives/husbands or something?

The whole "journalism is fake and lazy" is such a bad take. Tell that to the guys that wait for hours for this goober to say nothing. There are a ton of good journalists who write a ton of good shit. Go read any article from The Atlantic and say, "These guys are just making stuff up." Those pieces are some of the most well-thought out, articulate pieces anyone can read. But yeah, let's side with Patricia and the people in popular culture. Come on.

I just take isssue with anonymous sources crap it gets so damn old if your not willing to put your name to it then it?s rumor and heresy and is in large part what makes fake news what it is today the country doesn?t need anymore of this crap

would I like to hear the name of the player...sure, but does it really do any good? You wouldn't get any decent information if everybody had to put their name to anything that is somewhat controversial because nobody would talk. If GT goes around badmouthing his old organization or coach (even if it's true) it's only going to hurt him going forward.

Do you really think it's a stretch that Patricia is late to team meetings when he is late to press conferences?

Honestly I could care less if he is late to press conferences or meetings or not I think what he should do is start working his ass off and lose some weight and show his players he?s willing to do what it takes too! He?s still young enough to sweat

If you owned a billion dollar company, would you be tolerant of one of your top executives being late for meetings...especially high visibility meetings with the media?

Not if you’re Von Diesel.

Well when you put it that way, Caldwell doesn’t look so bad

This whole late thing is meaningless to me but i thought this quote from patricia was pretty funny....i might use it next time im late to a meeting. "Sorry Boss, i thought the start time was fluid!"

How important is punctuality when it comes to being a head coach? Patricia: "I think it just depends on the situation, really. There's a pretty busy schedule for most situations, I think, for everybody. I think fluidity is probably the best answer for ya. Definitely, in the game of football, you have to be able to adapt. I think that's the important kind of way to just be handle all the situations that come up, just kind of be fluid in all of them.

There is no honesty in journalism anymore it's all fake

100% disagree with this, but not at all surprised to see it here. While there are no longer any obstacles presented by the FCC in preventing journalists from posting falsehoods since 1987, there still are many within the 4th estate who will strive to be truthful in their articles uploaded to the web.

Never a huge listener to Valenti but he seems to make more and more sense about the Lions. Too bad John Harbaugh wasn't fired. I'd get a new GM, fire Patty and hire John Harbaugh in a minute.. Trade Matty Padford, get a ravens like D and draft a QB late 1st or early 2nd. Shake this team up.

Generally, he's spot on about most everything. The only time I will turn the radio directly off is when he starts on Michigan football. Everything else, he knows his shit. And he knows how shitty and unprofessional the Lions are.

I don't know much about him...but if he is spot on about every other sport, he probably knows it about UM football too. You just might not like what he has to say about it.

Eh, he gets into these incredibly condescending rants about the fan base. I get it, I just do not need to hear it.

Perfect example, last year when Michigan whooped Sparty's ass en route to the Big Ten tourney title, he literally wouldn't take any calls from Michigan fans because they were 'fake'.

Funny thing is, and every sports radio station works like this, if you call and try to talk about a topic different than the agenda of the day you'll never get passed the call screener (Hatchet in this case). He doesn't WANT to talk about Michigan basketball so NOBODY gets to talk about Michigan basketball. Only when they started to get deep in the NCAA tourney did he give them attention.

I love Valenti and I think he's the best in the city at what he does. But he is abhorrent in hiding his personal bias against Michigan. He's done well at adopting the Lions and other teams but UM/MSU is a shit show.

Someone had a great illustration of how his show works. For example, Michigan and MSU lose in football:

Monday: 2 PM-3PM: State sucks, we all know. 3PM-5PM- Break down Michigan
Tuesday: 2PM-6PM: Let's further break down what happened with Michigan.
Wednesday: 2PM-6PM: Is Harbaugh right for the job?
Thursday: 2PM-6PM: Why is the Michigan fan base so arrogant?
Friday: 2PM-6PM: Lions talk.

Valenti, without a doubt is the best in the city, and he's probably one of the best in the country. He could make 6 figures wherever the hell he wants. But the Michigan stuff is too much.

I know people do not like Jeff Riger, but I do and I know I'm in the minority. When he was with Valenti for the months Foster was out, the show was fucking great. I think if he brought someone in like Matt Dery, I would not miss a second.

I'll tell you what he is. He's a guy who loves to stir the pot. He doesn't know everything. Not even close. Fucking hilarious it was even said. He's a guy that says shit and gives his opinion on what should happen knowing that it will never happen. Then he'll blast the Lions or whoever for it not going his way. All he is, is a shock jock. He doesn't even live in reality. He's a tool actually....

Eh. He knows his stuff. I think it is silly to suggest otherwise. He's a super smart sports dude who has a ton of history stored in his head.

Does he go far sometimes? Yeah. But he knows what he is talking about. If he didn't, he would not be where he is.

I must have missed where the Lions don?t deserve to be blasted on air continually. They?re one of the 5 worst pro sports organizations in North America.
