Matt Millen Back in Broadcast Booth

Matt Millen, former Detroit Lions General Manager, is now back in the broadcast booth. You’d think his appalling time ruining the Lions would have made stations shun him, but hey, I guess there’s no accounting for taste. Millen has been doing the Thursday night games on the NFL network. So if you’ve missed his “insightful” play calling, you won’t have to wait any further than tonite to see him again!

The Washington Examiner interviewed Millen last week, asking him if he had a different perspective about the game now that he had been an “NFL executive.” Here’s what Millen said:

“… I have a far better picture on how each team was assembled. So now I know when the coaches implement a game plan I can better explain to the fans how each player figures into the plan. I am sure that I will still say what were they thinking when they called that play — but at least my understanding of the entire process will be more complete.”

He should have understood this all the first time he called games, shouldn’t he? Besides all that, you know there are Lions fans all over the country grimacing every time Millen opens his mouth. Which brings me to a good point, why doesn’t he do just that? Lay low until the mess he created in Detroit is completely fixed. Then he can come out, apologize, and perhaps be a bit more humble in the booth. Right now, it’s too soon to see or hear from him again.
