Would You Listen to This Guy?

The Detroit Lions recently fired their team president, Matt Millen. Since then, he has signed on as an analyst for ESPN. Now, Millen was the architect of years of bad draft decisions by the Lions and was there for the historic 0-16 season last year. So, I'm thinking, what exactly does he bring to the table as far as commenting on the NFL draft and a team's performance in general? One columnist likened this to having Isiah Thomas as an NBA announcer. Thomas, by the way, has recently been named coach of Florida International University. He has failed miserably as an executive and coach in the NBA, ran the once-profitable CBA into the ground, and now gets to apply his reverse-Midas touch on the college ranks.

Lee Corso would be a rough comparison to Millen.
