Matt Millen, a football life.

One of the most controversial takes I have in my arsenal is that Matt Millen is good.

Of course, I'm not referring to Matt Millen the NFL GM, who was decidedly bad, but to Matt Millen the football analyst.

Sure, he can be hokey at times, but I like his analysis, and I'm jacked up about him replacing Glen "People Actually Wanted OSU to Hire Me" Mason on BTN.

From John Ourand of SportsBusinessDaily.com:

Matt Millen is leaving ESPN to return to Fox Sports, the media company where he rose to be the No. 2 NFL announcer at the turn of the century, according to several sources.

The longtime football analyst will become the lead football analyst for the Big Ten Network, paired with Kevin Kugler. Glen Mason was paired with Kugler as the network’s top game analyst last season.

Millen also will participate on Fox Sports 1 studio shows around college football and the NFL. The long-term deal gives him the opportunity to do NFL and college games on Fox’s broadcast channel.

Bonus: Did you know Matt Millen once punched the owner of the New England Patriots (sadly, not Robert Kraft) after a Patriots-Raiders playoff game? That's B1G
