Did Matt Millen, an NFL TV up-and-comer when he left Fox for the Lions in 2001, feel like he never should have made that detour? "No, never. I'm not a regret guy. This is what's in front of me so this is what you do -- just keep on chopping wood." And what happened in Detroit, he says, isn't going to keep him from speaking freely on TV: "My approach has always been the same. I've never viewed my Lions experience as being anything other than positive. We didn't win, it wasn't easy. But there were lots of experiences and all you are is a collection of experiences. Whatever I was doing (on-air) before is what I'm doing now. I haven't changed anything." Source: USA Today
I especially liked this line: "I've never viewed my Lions experience as being anything other than positive. We didn't win, it wasn't easy." What a tool.
