Reviews

4.7 out of 5 stars from 90 ratings
  • Good content VERY hard to listen to

    Each of the contributors have very different recording levels. Sometimes loud enough, sometimes very quiet. The content is good, but the difficulty hearing or having to play a constant volume adjustment game just isn’t worth the effort. Too bad.

  • Good content but

    This is a good podcast. Several of these contributors have nice insights to the Lions. Only knocks are get the audio cleaned up. Some guys are whisper quiet and others loud. Then one dude always has feedback while he’s talking. Finally putting ads on the podcast keeps the lights on is it possible to plug them in at better more natural times?

  • Awesome

    Love the pod, just wish Wil didn’t highjack as often as he does. Colten and Justin are absolutely the best Lions beat writers and it’s not even close

  • Instant Fav

    I consume a great deal of Lions content (some would say too much), and this podcast immediately catapulted itself to the top of the leaderboard. They’re a knowledgeable group who manage to bring original, unique thoughts that never feel disingenuous or “hot-takey.” Kudos, boys! Great stuff.

  • In depth knowledge + fun atmosphere

    This is my favorite Lions podcast by far. They bring a great depth of knowledge, football insight, and fun conversation - and avoid all the hyperbole and overstatement you tend to find on sports talk radio. Highly recommend for any Lions fan (new or old!).

Is Kelvin Sheppard Coaching for His Job?
Q: Who's to blame for why the defense looks the way it looks?

Q: Kyle asks who's getting extended next and what does that deal look like?
The group agrees Gibbs and Campbell are the most likely to be extended next, with new money in the neighborhood of mid-$20 million per year for Campbell and Gibbs, reflecting market resets and the five-year structure including the fifth-year option.

Q: Why are so many free-agent deals one year in length?
We were operating under financial constraints and needed flexibility for upcoming extensions, so one-year deals allowed us to build a competitive roster while maintaining cap sensitivity.
