A classic from 2006, Mike Valenti loses his drat mind after MSU suffers yet another disastrous loss. He has since grown up significantly over the past decade, I think he is like 24 here. Valenti and Foster is routinely the most entertaining sports radio in Detroit, although their station forces them to do way too much taking calls and reading texts then doing interviews.

The bottom of the barrel is, was, and will always be Bill Simonson.

- Got fired in Oklahoma for saying a black coach sounds like Buckwheat on the air.
- Got fired in Texas for claiming that his producer's landlord was exposing herself with lap dances at a party, and them got the station sued over those remarks.
- Got fired in Chicago for getting his rear end kicked outside a White Sox game.
- Is now in Grand Rapids, where you have fun incidents like this:



Bill loving Mcallister from the 97.1 morning show is one of the biggest idiots in history and he has managed to corrupt Stony like grima wormtongue. One time, because they never talk about sports, they were talking about horses for some unknown reason. He thought europeans did not have horses until they came to america.

Good poo poo happened on Valenti and Foster when a station employee brought flowers from a wedding to woo a female employee.

Lol, the Lions are moving from 97.1 to WJR and allegedly part of the reason was because Mike Valenti is too mean and they wanted him fired.

lol

I loving hate national sports radio, there's nothing I want to hear less than "what's up with the Cowboys today and..."

As a lions fan, there are days the last goddamn thing i want to hear about is my local team

Dude you aren't even exposed to the worst morning show in the state. Try 107.3 out of Grand Rapids if you want to see how much further the depths of hell can go.

Bill McAllister once stated that Europeans did not have horses before they came to America.

I've been listening to Valenti & Foster for close to a decade on 97.1 The Ticket in Detroit. Mike has really lightened up the last few years and actually seems to enjoy his job, but without losing his edge in analysis or dealing with stupid callers. Maybe getting a huge vote of confidence from ownership when the Lions tried to get him fired and instead got booted themselves gave him the warm and fuzzies.

I'm also glad Terry is back after his extended absence, as I couldn't stand listening to Jeff Riger trying to out-rear end in a top hat Mike for no discernible reason other than that he's horrible.

Riger loving sucks and does not get when to just stop. Having T-Fos back has been great.

Valenti is great and now that him and terry are back together my afternoon drives have improved a lot.

Terry Foster is retiring from 97.1, effective immediately

Gonna miss T Fos, and it's gonna be weird having an afternoon drive show without him after 13 years of Valenti and Foster.

Morning radio in Detroit has only recently gotten tolerable. I relied on M&M for a long time on my morning drives so they have a small soft spot in my heart.

I know how bad it can be, but in comparison one time a host on 97.1 went on a rant about movies or some other stupid topic wherein he revealed he thought horses were native to the Americas and Europeans did not have them till the came here.

Just listen to yesterday's LeBatard podcast

I could, but the local radio is now actually sports focused as they got rid of the aforementioned idiot as well as another one and now they talk about sports most of the time, and I like that it is Detroit focused. I never really got into Lebatard as his show is on while I'm at work and discussion podcasts distract me as I work so I listen to music instead. Everything I see I like though. I should probably start including his podcast into my workouts or something.
