Dan Miller has been the voice of the Detroit Lions on the radio since 2005. He was in the booth for all 16 losses in 2008, and for the win that finally ended the 19 game losing streak. On Saturday his wife of 33 years passed away. On Sunday Dan Campbell gave him the game ball. Here is who they are. He grew up in Northern Virginia and went to George Mason University for broadcast journalism. While he was still in school he worked as an engineer at two radio stations. He did that for 11 years. He got his first television job in 1994, hosting a pre game show in Washington. For the three years after that he called regional games for NFL on Fox. In 1997 he moved to Detroit to be the sports director at Fox 2, and he has been on television there ever since. Twenty nine years. He still hosts a weekly show there called Sports Works. In 2005 the Lions handed him the radio microphone. Think about what he had to describe. In 2008 the Lions lost all sixteen games. Nobody in the history of the National Football League had ever done that. He called every one of them. Then he called the game in 2009 that ended a 19 game losing streak. Now here is his wife. Her name was Cynthia. Everyone called her Cindy. They met when she was working at the Westwood One Radio Network. He was a broadcaster and so was the room she was in. She graduated from the University of Maryland in 1985. She was a news producer for ten years. Then she spent five years teaching preschool. Her obituary says she had "a way of lighting up any room she entered." It calls her charismatic, funny and fearless. She was 63. On Sunday Dan Miller was not in the booth. Jason Benetti filled in, and on the air he called Dan "a fantastic voice of the Lions for more than two decades." Detroit beat the Arizona Cardinals 45 to 21. Then Dan Campbell walked into the press conference holding a football, and he could not get through it. "Dan is salt of the earth." He said the ball goes to Dan Miller and his family. "We love you, Dan. Appreciate you." Jared Goff was on television a few minutes later, fighting it back too. "His voice is Lions football." "We're thinking about you, Dan. Love you, man." Goff says he talks to him every week. The family has asked that anything people want to give go to the Leptomeningeal Cancer Foundation in Cindy's name. For 21 years Dan Miller has told the city of Detroit what was happening to its football team. On Sunday the team stopped and told him something.
