Matt Millen on TV: Seeing Is Believing

Excited about playoff football, I tuned into last Saturday’s NBC pregame show, and who should show up on the screen next to Dan Patrick? Matt Millen. One more time, so it sinks in just a little more: Matt Freaking Millen. I have not been that shocked in a long time, A LONG TIME.

Matt Millen, the man who built arguably the worst team in the history of pro football (all of sports?), was sitting as an analyst on the premier football show, giving insights into the games that were to come.

Stay with me, because this only gets better.

To put the cherry on the sundae, Matt Millen gave his “keys to victory” for the Arizona Cardinals against the Atlanta Falcons. Asking Matt Millen to give his “keys to victory” for a team is like asking the Cowboys not to implode under the pressure.

I haven’t seen anything this egregious since the one-shot wonder, Plaxico Burress, put a bullet in his leg fumbling for his gun at a night club! And it wasn’t that I was just upset about this, I felt like I had been slapped in the face.

Here is quite possibly the worst front office man ever to work in the NFL, a man that built the only team to go 0-16 (something I thought was impossible, but now am a believer), and he is telling the world what the Cardinal’s need to do to win.

Unbelievable, but have some pity for the people of Detroit, because after watching that segment, you know they are all in the market for a new T.V. after their remote, fist, anything heavy, became lodged in it.

As a football fan my whole life, I have never been more disgusted than seeing that sorry excuse for a front office man on TV. He is so bad, the people of Cincinnati don’t even want him, and is anyone even running that franchise (besides the Cincinnati Police Dept)?

Matt Millen, I think I speak for the rest of the football nation when I say, hit the road jack, and don’t you come back no more!
