Local NBC affiliate WDIV has such fond memories of former Lions GM Matt Millen.
It was like one of those dire pharmaceutical warnings:
Caution! This guy can cause upset stomach, loss of appetite, hair loss (due to pulling it out), depression and in certain cases (home game) blackouts.
Every time a certain familiar face showed up on camera Sunday during NBC's Super Bowl pregame show, Channel 4 ran a scroll at the bottom of the screen:
"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? ..."
Hilarious. But good for Channel 4, not toeing the company line as it sought online comments from viewers on Millen's gig. Or maybe it was just trying to distance itself from NBC's brilliant move.
