OT: Former MI Player vs. MSU Grad -- Classic...

 

Folks, I lived in the metro Detroit area for a number of years before moving to South Bend to work for the University of Notre Dame.  Mike Valenti -- the guy sitting on the right in this radio studio -- is a MSU grad who has a sports talk radio show in the Motor City.

His rants are "Hall of Fame" worthy -- here he takes on former Michgian star Braylon Edwards -- days after Sparty's win over the Wolverines.  Enjoy!
