  • Stop Lumping All the Fans Together

    Love the pod, but the fans are not a monolith. The idiots on Twitter are a very small (albeit loud) portion of the fanbase, and are NOT necessarily representative of the wider population. The weirdos in your mentions don’t speak for the rest of us.

  • A Podcast for Negative Fans

    Befitting the name, if you’re the type the want to wallow in the lack of a Super Bowl, this pod is for you! If you’re constantly worried about not having a roster of all-pros at every position, and want to criticize the best front office and coaching staff the team has ever had, you’re in the right spot!

  • Good BUT

    Good Lions podcast, but whoever was breathing on the mic on the most recent ep made it unlistenable. Heavy breathing on a mic is like nails on a chalkboard

  • Still Good

    Kory and Ben are both likable dudes with good chemistry! Kyle is missed, but Kory’s been a great addition.

    My only gripe with the pod is that they’ll spend a good deal of time telling us what a coach/player said to the media… immediately before playing us the audio of that same coach/player saying exactly what they already told us. Feels a bit redundant.

    Thats said, those clips do help the pod stand out - I don’t know of other Lions pods doing things that way.
