Mike Valenti

Post by Deleted User 7620 » Thu Mar 21, 2019 2:23 pm

Why is he hated so much on this board? It seems like some really go crazy when his name is mentioned. I know he can be tough, but he’s very knowledgeable when it comes to sports. He’s a great radio personality.

I think he can be polarizing at times but I don't mind him. I don't care for his anti U-M rants but to his credit he is critical of his Spartans and will make fun of them at times. He's actually a pretty cool dude outside of his radio persona. He's not an ass kisser to anyone in town which I can appreciate.

A good talent for WXYT, I hope he stays there for a long while.

He's an a**hole who has his puppets Roberto Boschian,Michael Sullivan and to a much lesser extent (because he'd likely bop Valenti if he got too far out of line ) Rev. David (Hatchet) Hull. Sullivan replaced James Bentley,who refused to kiss the Studio Gangsta's ring. And remember when Valenti was nearly canned for making light of the late ex-Lion Corey Smith's 2009 fatal boating accident ?

What do you base that on? Do you know him personally?

Sometimes normal politeness can be confused with "ass kissing"
Sometimes "not an ass kisser" is code words for someone who is actually an asshole. Someone who has no filters, who thinks things like "telling it like it is" or "calling them the way I see them" is never unnecessary or inappropriate.
Sometimes people who "aren't ass kissers" are just plain rude and don't know when to keep their mouth shut.

I've dealt with him outside of his job. Am I friends with him ?- NO .
I believe some of that stuff is his shtick .

I know what an ass kisser is and what is not, however thanks for your interpretation of these words.

Exactly this. Some people don't understand you don't have to be an asshole to get a point across, or even get through life. I know some people who take pride in being an asshole or a bitch, and I don't really understand that purposeful negativity.

To take it one step further, I once saw a Tweet from some random person that said "Being blunt ≠ being mean. A lot of y'all don't seem to understand that. You think people are mad because you told the truth, but in reality they're upset because you demean them under the guise of 'honesty'."

It's just an excuse to not take responsibility for actions, as that requires some kind of up front consideration. That type of person is an asshole, and no matter how "right" they might be, they will become very alone in life.

Some people just can't have a discussion without mentioning specific politics and politicians. Just incapable.

I think he is a very caustic, polarizing guy that most listeners either love or hate with not many sitting in a neutral middle.
As to his sports knowledge I think its pretty average for his profession.....a guy paid to talk about sports. He knows a lot more than I do but nobody pays me to know.
