Timeline
"It’s absolutely true, 100 percent of it," Mike Valenti said about allegations the Lions left 97.1 The Ticket because they didn't like his criticism of the team.
In November 2018 Valenti and Valenti Show Producer Mike Sullivan announced that they will be debuting the "Always Aggravated with Mike Valenti" Podcast on Radio.com, iTunes and other podcast providers. The debut episode was released on November 14, 2018, and is release weekly on Wednesday mornings. In August 2019, Valenti introduced another football and gambling focused podcast called "Cash the Ticket".
July 18, 2018, Valenti welcomed other 97.1 The Ticket radio personalities Mike "The Godfather of Radio" Stone (Stoney) and Bob "Bought and Paid for by Michigan" Wojnowski (Wojo) to run an old bit on their once great radio show Stoney and Wojo and do a 64 team bracket style tournament for Valenti Show radio bits and songs. After the success of this new, but old, bit the Stoney and Wojo Invitational is now an annual event that happen during the MLB all star break.
Longtime broadcaster Terry Foster announced his retirement from the "Valenti & Foster" show on April 20, 2017 after over 13 years together. Foster cited the two strokes suffered in 2016 for the sudden retirement.
The Lions didn't renew their contract with 97.1 The Ticket for 2016 opting for a 5-year contract with WJR. Valenti's agent Mort Meisner reported the Lions wanted Valenti fired in order to renew with 97.1 The Ticket.
Valenti was re-signed by 97.1 The Ticket to a multi-year deal in April 2016.
In December 2013 Valenti received severe burns to his face while dining at a steakhouse in Birmingham, Michigan.
In March 2009 Valenti caused controversy after reading a couple jokes about Detroit Lions defensive end Corey Smith, who was lost at sea and is presumed dead. Valenti while on air, read a couple distasteful "ticket texts" poking fun at Smith's disappearance. With 97.1 being the team's flagship station, he apologized on air the next day.
On Monday, September 25, 2006, following a Michigan State University football loss against Notre Dame—a game in which his alma mater blew a sixteen-point fourth-quarter lead—Valenti went off on a twelve-minute on-air tirade ripping into the Spartans for their poor showing. Highlights of the rant featured Valenti saying the Spartans "handed [the game] away like a nice three-button coat at the Salvation Army," that they "choked on applesauce", and his plea to then-head coach John L. Smith to recognize that "timeouts are not like cell phone minutes — they don't carry over!" Valenti also included scathing criticism of offensive coordinator Dave Baldwin's decision to have Drew Stanton "run the option in Hurricane Katrina," and a desire for defensive coordinator Chris Smeland to be replaced by H. R. Pufnstuf with Teddy Ruxpin as his assistant.
Mike Valenti graduated from Michigan State University in 2002 with a degree in journalism. He first stepped into radio as a producer of Mad Dog & Company and also co-hosted the Spartan Tailgate Show at WVFN 730 AM in Lansing, Michigan.
