Matt Millen returns to broadcasting, where he belongs
My Tuesday newspaper column includes a secondary item defending NBC's decision to tab Matt Millen as a pregame analyst for Super Bowl XLIII.
Sandomir of The Times spoke to Millen about his return to broadcasting here.
With The Times becoming more of a national paper by the day and Newsday focusing more on local issues (such as sports talk radio), Sandomir and I are simultaneously competitors and complementary sources of information, so I don't mind linking to him, because it's all about you, the reader.
In the fall of 1985, when I was fresh from a bitter newspaper war in Anchorage, I was covering a high school football game in Brooklyn when a reporter from the New York Post asked me to share with him a quote I got from a player after the game. I was shocked and said, "No." He in turn was shocked that I was uncooperative. Now I link to competitors' stories. Sigh.

The Football Night in America studio should be a little crowded on Super Bowl Sunday. I count 7 guys not including Tiki.
Hey Neil, Happy New Year..there is some questionable Trash Talking going on apparently circulating around WFAN.

Hello, Neil......
Enjoy your perspective, as always, but I think you're missing point on NBC's hiring of Matt Millen. A team that finishes 1-15, people tend to forget. When you go 0-16, and are at the helm of running a franchise COMPLETELY into the ground, people outside Detroit will notice. NBC football coverage is officially a circus with this clown. Who will be sitting next to Millen dispensing analysis.....Rich Kotite? Millen's a joke, Neil.
