If you are looking for reasons the Tigers offense has sputtered all season long when the team’s bats were expected to carry the franchise to an easy divisional title, you could come up with more suspects than the board game Clue plus the movie Gosford Park combined.

I woke up this morning to a front-page feature article in the Detroit News written by Angelique Chengelis that focused on the broadcast career of Mike Valenti.

Yep, the “Angel of the Big House” devoted an entire column to the life and times of the WXYT-FM drive time host, which superficially chronicled the successes and pitfalls the MSU grad has endured in his eight-year career at the “sports” station.
