Did you see Matt Millen on TV? Can you believe they put him on?

Millen is certainly more than qualified for a TV analyst job based on successful previous broadcast stints on CBS and Fox. But many football fans may have a hard time remembering that because of what's happened since: Millen built the team that bumbled through one of the worst eight-year stretches in NFL history.

Every time Millen opens his mouth, will viewers scoff, "Why should I listen to this guy?"

Former CBS Sports president Neal Pilson doesn't think so. Millen's talent as a broadcaster is all that matters, said Pilson, who now works as a media consultant.

"The 0-16, it will never disappear," Pilson said. "But if Matt comes back next year, that will be yesterday's news."

His long siege with the Lions, during which they were a league-worst 31-84, took luster off the reputation of Millen the analyst. A CBS Sports spokeswoman said that its analyst roster, where Millen’s TV career started, was full. David Hill, the chairman of the Fox Sports Television Group, avoided a question about rehiring him but wrote via e-mail: “Love him to death! Always have!”
