The Mike Valenti Rant

I was recently cleaning up old files on my laptop and discovered something that absolutely needed to be shared! 

As part of the Valenti and Foster Show on WXYT-FM/AM in Detroit, Mike Valenti is known for being a bit harsh and crusty.  And, as a Michigan State alum, you can imagine how he felt on Monday afternoon, September 25, 2006, when he sat down to do his show.  Just two days before in East Lansing, Michigan State had squandered a 16 point lead against archrival Notre Dame.  After leading 37-21 in the midst of a torrential downpour, the Spartans surrendered 19 straight points and lost 40-37.

When I first heard this back then, I laughed and laughed.  But I knew how he felt.  Every serious fan has had his favorite team cause moments of extreme frustration that defy logic and go beyond explanation.  This was Mike Valenti's moment. 

It's fifteen minutes long, so be sure you have some time when you sit down to  listen to it.  It takes him a few minutes to really get fired up, but it's well worth the wait...
