  • 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.

Reisman Returns: Lions Camp Pulse Check
Q: Does the Bridgewater retirement and the Dobbs signing increase the chance of Altmeyer making the team?
Yes, the veteran additions give Altmeyer more time to develop and a clearer pathway to a roster spot, though Dobbs remains the favorite for the backup role, Altmeyer could push for snaps if preseason performance impresses.
Reisman Returns: Lions Camp Pulse Check
Q: Which position has surprised you the most in terms of competition?
The linebacker group has been the most surprising, with a crowded room featuring Devin White, Malcolm, DeMone Clark, and others, creating a lot of competition and complicating who ends up as the starter or primary backup.
Detroit Lions Smash or Trash Predictions with Trevor Thompson
Q: Do you expect the offensive line to be better this year?
Yes, with Panay Sewell at left tackle, Cade Mays at center, and improved depth; they should be better overall, enabling Gibbs to be more effective.
Detroit Lions Smash or Trash Predictions with Trevor Thompson
Q: What first drew you to podcasting about the Lions?
Trevor explains he started because he was unemployed and wanted to stay sharp and involved with football, plus a long-standing passion for the Lions.
Is Gibbs vs. Bijan the New Barry vs. Emmitt? (with Ryan Mathews): Part 2
Q: If Bijan signs first for $24 million a year, what happens with Gibbs?
The group agrees that Gibbs would demand parity or more, which could force the Lions to adjust quickly, potentially pushing them to sign Gibbs before Bijan and set a higher benchmark for the next running back deals.
