The Valenti Show

97.1 The Ticket presents a collection of heated discussions following a brutal Lions loss from Costa & Jansen with Heather, Karsch & Anderson, and The Valenti Show. Mike Valenti and Rico Beard debate if Dan Campbell is starting to look broken on the sideline, while the crews react to the secondary getting torched by Tetairoa McMillan (192 yards, 2 TDs). Plus, criticism of Brad Holmes hoarding draft picks instead of trading for Joey Porter Jr, Jahmyr Gibbs’ usage, and Jameson Williams' key drop. That and more on Best Of Lions on 97.1 The Ticket!

Valenti and Rico spent the large majority of today's show with a scathing post-mortem of the Lions' brutal loss to the Panthers on Sunday Night Football last night, briefly pausing to discuss the absurdity of a Chris Ilitch social media post.

Mike and Rico hammered the Lions to open the show. They assigned blame and discussed what, if anything, could change going forward defensively. Then, they did part 1 of "Can We Say That?"

The guys emphasized their Lions criticism in the second hour with their continued frustrations about their bleak future, incorporating more of the listeners into their conversation.

Mike and Rico began the third hour with part 2 of "Can We Say That?" Then, Valenti couldn't help but react to an extremely out-of-touch post from Chris Ilitch on LinkedIn about the Red Wings' home opener.
