  • Fantastic content guys!

    I was born and raised in Detroit and have been a lifelong, suffering Lions fan. I now live in Pittsburgh and consume Lions podcasts all week, every time I walk my dog. There are good Lions podcasts and bad ones, but yours is one of the best and one of my absolute favorites! I can’t tell you how happy it makes me when I open the Apple Podcasts app and see that I have a fresh new episode of Talking Grit waiting for me to listen to. The crossover/interview shows are my favorite. I wasn’t the hugest... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Lions Sign Star LB; Top 5/ Bottom 5 Jersey & Logos
Q: What is your take on the Jack Campbell contract in the context of the market?
They agree the deal is team-friendly and fair, not resetting the market, and it solidifies Campbell as a top-tier linebacker while allowing room for other extensions later.
Talking Schlitt Year 2: Draft and Grit Index Talk (with Erik Schlitt)
Q: If the Lions stay at 17, which players would you seriously consider, and would you pull the trigger on a tackle or trade back?
Erik suggests that after the top tier, Maui Nau and Fennel are above the rest among tackles, with Blake Miller as a strong Lions fit due to intangibles and day-one readiness; he would likely pick Miller over Freeling if the top two tackles are gone, and stresses evaluating whether trading back yields better overall value given the depth available after the first tier.
Lions Fire Morton; New OC Talk
Q: Do you want someone with play calling experience?
Yes, my number one thing is that I want someone with play calling experience.
Lions Fire Morton; New OC Talk
Q: If there was any part of them thinking, it's okay if they lose because we'll get a better draft position?
I was angry when they scored and got the two-point conversion.
Lions Fire Morton; New OC Talk
Q: Was there any part of you that wanted the Lions to lose just to get a better draft?
No, I am not in the business of losing.
