Dennis Miller was in the booth, as I recall, and at one point suggested that Lions fans would like to see Al Delvecchio under center. I'm a little surprised to see this as a legend. In that period of Detroit Sports, it was very common for "Let's Go Red Wings" to be chanted at just about any sporting event. When the Wings didn't win the cup for a few years in the 2000s, it was replaced by "Fire Millen," which, despite his firing, will remain for me the quintessential Detroit sports chant.
