  • The Ris

    This show has maintained honesty and integrity. He provides data and expertise in his takes then breaks it down in that detail. He’s the guy you’d be happy to sit and talk to about the Lions anywhere over a beer. He brings in guests and doesn’t mind disagreeing because he appreciates a different view and is willing to discuss it and ask questions. His guests are knowledgeable and he comes at the topic from all angles. This is the best Lions podcast.

  • You CAN handle the truth!!

    ...and that is what these guys provide. Riz, Chris, Michael Gray...what sports (and all) journalism should be. Not both-side-ism, but a genuine take backed up by facts and personal observation.
