Faces turn red and rose-colored glasses never go out of style. This is the Detroit Lions Podcast. [Music] Everyone, it's Jeff Risen from the Detroit Lions Podcast and Lions Wire and we'll talk about some things that are going on in Lions Land. There's a lot to talk about, so sit back, relax, and let's go. All right, we have a four-in-one Detroit Lions team that's heading in Minnesota this week to play the unbeaten Vikings. Massive game, huge NFC playoff implications can just help decide home-field advantage throughout the playoffs, but we've had a little bit, but we've got some good small things to talk about first. And there's a bunch of things, there's any number of things in which you go, we're gonna start with the contract extensions that have been given up, and it's plural, and that's pretty cool. Starting with David Montgomery over the weekend, Lions running back is getting, oh, I heard this down here, I can refer to those sometimes, two years, 18.25 million dollars in his extension, but 12.5 million of that is guaranteed, the locks up the backfield through 2027. That's important, because one of the things that this does, and first off, Montgomery is fantastic, he's a great player, he showed it again Sunday in the whipping of the Cowboys, which was so much fun, not that was nice. Montgomery has been such a spearhead and catalyst for everything, you know, the veteran presence, the hard-runner, the stonewalling people in past protection, he's doing fantastic. And what I like about this is the timing of it and how it syncs up with where the rest of the offense is. Now you've got him paid a big payday, might not sound like a lot in relative comparison to some other exchanges that are out and the one that we're going to talk about with Aline McNealier in a minute. It's kind of a pittance, but that's the market for running backs. Not only to let your babies grow up to be running backs, you don't get paid. Obviously, 18.25 million dollars is more than money than I will ever conceive of in a lifetime, but for an NFL player, that's kind of low-end for a really good NFL player like you, Montgomery is. That's just the way that the market exists. But this is his big payday. It's his last big payday. He knows that. That's why he took it. Now, he will be up at the same time that your Gibbs is getting a new contract or looking for a new contract, depending on how the Lions handle that. But the 2026 is probably when Gibbs will get a new deal. So you've got your tandem locked up. Now, because you've paid Montgomery the money now, when you go to pay Gibbs, Monty's more likely to stay because he's not going to be looking for that last giant paycheck because he's gotten one. That's important. At his age, if you're going to give him another contract after this, it's going to be one of those one year, please stay healthy, please stay effective deals. It's not going to be $9 million a year. It's going to be like a one year, three and a half, $4 million deal with low guarantees on it. That's sort of the way that the running back market works. So then you can pay Jameer Gibbs, the fair market dealer even above fair market deal, but that's what it takes to keep him if that's what he really wants. And he's well on his way to earning that. He's a very dynamic player. Always say the right now Montgomery is probably the better back, but that's like spooning the difference between an A minus and a B plus, like it's really, really close. And they're so much better together. And the lines know that they used them that way. And I think that's, I like the strategic timing of this, whether they intended it or not. I think it works out great. So that, again, Monty locked up, he got your backfield with Monty Gibbs and golf. They're all locked in. Rocky is a rookie, you know, he's, he's in the contract through that time too. We'll see what happens. He just got his first carry this past weekend. It was nice to see him get in on the offense. Then I'm recording this on Wednesday. So last night they signed a Lee McNeil as him in the car. Of course, things held it's up. It's on the bigger things go. But a Lee McNeil defensive tackle just got paid. Good for early, the numbers, 55 million guaranteed and that's, that's sort of the important number here. It's 97 million total over four years, which extends him through the 2028 season. This is the last of the young building blocks that were taken in the early part of Breadhomes tenure, you know, the, the first year, he'll put a draft by the way. If you want to argue that Levi ons or he capable walks in that group and deserves an extension, I won't fight you on that, but I don't think he's going to get anywhere close to this kind of money. It's going to be interesting to see how that plays out. I don't have a lean on that. I hope they keep him. I think he's been great this year. It's been fun to watch, but yeah, that's, that's a conversation we're going to have to have a little bit later because I don't think they're giving you any more exceptions. Hello. Who knows? We'll see if we didn't. This one was the lean extension is weird because we sort of knew that it was coming, which didn't really know when and the timing of it coming on the heels of his best game of the season and also the eight notches and it raises some eyebrows a little bit like get that. Raise mine too. It's, it's a great market value extension for a lean. And it goes directly into Dan Campbell when he talked about, uh, he did an interview with Costa and Jensen on, uh, 97 one, the ticket on Tuesday. And when he was asked about his going to replace Hutchinson, the first name he mentioned and the first guy that he talked about and he talked about him for a little bit was a lean McNeil tells you what the team thinks about him tells you what the head coach has expectations. They see him as a real difference maker. I know not every lion's fan does probably have to get on board with that or else you're going to be unhappy with it, uh, because he's, look, the way he absolutely annihilated a very good, very elite offensive lineman and Zach Martin. And by the way, a pretty darn good rookie and Cooper, baby, a guy who I love that I know a lot of Lions fans really wanted to draft in the second round, but he, he's, he's played well. He did not play. Well, it's just a big meal on Sunday. Uh, that was one of the, one of the issues that the Cowboys had there. Uh, it's, uh, it's a little on the pricier side than that. I think what a lot of people expected, but I look at it this way, I put this out on, on Twitter or actually whatever you want to call it this morning. You pay a 55 million guaranteed now or he can go off and finish the year with 8.5 sacks and 12 tackles for losses and that price tag goes up to 65 million. It's your choice getting ahead of the market and locking him in, I think is a smart move. Um, there is a little bit of a risk involved casey, it's injured in case he, for whatever reason, doesn't pan out. It just doesn't work, but that's that that's not who will even spend like this, this is a guy who's gotten steadily better all the time and he's healthy. He is going at it. He is working better in concert with Levi and with DJ reader next to him, uh, reader, I don't think it's enough credit for what he does because it never shows up on the stat sheet, but he's playing a really good football and Alina's playing off that. And I think it's, it's working really well. So that's the fun part of the extensions, uh, lines locking up their core. They've paid pen a paid seat. They've paid golf. They paid Decker, uh, now they paid, you know, Alina and Montgomery, like this is our team. It's a great team that can go in the Super Bowl this year still. And the fact that they are making the commitment to the players that are here. That shows that their believes or their believers in what they talk about. They believe in their culture. They believe in the guys that are here and they're going to reward that. And it's a great message for younger players like Kirby Joseph, Brian branch, James and Williams, he had nuts and. If you're good here, you're going to play here and you're going to be rewarded here. You don't have to look elsewhere for that money. Stay as part of a core where you know your role. You know your value. You know your coaches love you. You know your coaches appreciate you. You know, your teammates have your back. That's important. Look at what's going on with the readers, which we'll probably have to get to in a little bit when we're talking, oh, it's, uh, look at what's going on in Cleveland. Okay. Like there's other Dallas. Good Lord, um, it was so much fun to blast Dallas on Jerry John's birthday. 82nd birthday and we gave him middle fingers up the ass. It was great. That was one of the most fun things I've ever, one of the most fun days I've ever had as a Lions fan going back to the Billy Sims era. I can't remember beating a good team or a perceived good team. I do think the Dallas couple, look, they're missing Michael Bursen, they're missing Demarcus Lawrence. They were, you know, obviously banged up, um, and not at full strength. But the Lions, no freaking mercy in that toe choke go, baby. They rolled down nine straight scoring dries, um, to take out the play at the end of the first half where they didn't, they just kneeled down nine for nine on scoring, uh, it led to Jake Bates scoring 17 points to kick four field goals, um, and five extra points. Uh, that's more than Matt Brader has ever scored in the game. That's the most since Jason Hanson scored, I believe was 19 in 20 in, uh, 1999. So it. Great day for Jake Bates, great confidence builder for him. Uh, a couple of those kicks were a little close shape, but they went in. That's great. That's, this is when you want to build your kicker's coffee. There's so many good things that came out of this game. I love it. It was great. God, that was fun. Man, watching Jerry Jones yesterday, just rip apart radio analysts because he saw frustrated at how bad he's created his team and how far behind the lions they are. Think about that for a minute. When was the last time that the Detroit lions were perceived as a better organization than the Dallas Cowboys? Even with all the Jerry BS that goes on, like they've always been perceived nationally, rightly or wrongly, as a well run organization as a successful organization. Now people are saying that about Detroit and it's true and reference go back to the, uh, the contract extensions that they've locked up all this year. The lions are doing everything right. Dallas is not and you're seeing the difference in ownership. You're seeing the difference in having a competent head coach, a great front office. One that understands that the people are important too and treating people right and treating people with respect and fairness matters. It matters a lot in the NFL. Don't kid yourself. Lions are doing them. They're doing it right. And that's, uh, that makes me very proud to cover this organization. I have covered some other organizations that don't do that very well and we'll get into that. Take a little break here and then we'll get back and we'll talk about Dallas and we'll talk about replacing Aidan Hutchinson. All right. Now we got to get it, Aidan Hutchinson, it sucks. That injury was nasty. Uh, I unfortunately went back and viewed it like right after it happened, I rewound and I don't, I don't do pain. I'm kind of squeamish. So that was, that was rough to watch. Uh, and seeing the reaction from the teams, both teams, um, tells you how momentous this injury is and losing Aidan Hutchinson's for the season. And look, I know there's this hope out there that he'd be back for the Super Bowl and I wouldn't doubt that he tries, but I'm not going to expect it. If it happens, if that scenario plays out where the Lions are in the Super Bowl and Aidan Hutchinson can come back and give them anything, L.E.A man signed me up, but I'm not expecting that. Um, but I don't do fantasy very well, which you'll probably find as a recurring theme as we go through, how the Lions are going to replace him and I know there's pie in the sky, things out there. Go get Max Drawsby, go get Miles Garrett, go get his on Redic. That's just not based in any reality. Redic. Okay. All right. Redic is available. The Jets have made it known that he is available. Why is he available? Because he's been a petulant ass. That's not like a guy that the Lions want in their locker room, guy who's held out because he doesn't, he wants more money and doesn't like the coach, doesn't like the situation that he's in. That's not like a Brad Holmes day, gamble kind of guy to you. Played his way out of a good situation in Philadelphia because he didn't like sharing the credits and didn't like sharing his highlight. This is where the trade off comes, where, I was wondering if it's not a turret. He didn't hope after that. By all accounts, he's a good dude. Pretty good player too. But culture fit matters so much to this theme. That's the fundamental tenant of why they're successful because they've got their guys that they know they can trust that one another, they're all playing for something greater. The sign of Redic is showing is that kind of guy. Maybe if he comes in here, maybe the culture will absorb and wrap around him and that'd be great. He's a good player. He'd fit. But I don't know about that one. I don't know if he'd fit schematically and personality-wise. I don't expect that. I can't rule it out. But it would be a stretch to say that he's coming in. Max Crossby, you'll got to give that up, man. He ain't going anywhere. He's told you that. Aside from the exorbitant price tag that it would take, and this is something that came up in our Patreon slackness, by the way, is worth every penny that you spend for it to get Lions talk behind the scenes and everything. The Raiders don't know that they're the readers. They don't know that they suck. They think they're still contenders. They do as delusional as you might find that. Their owner, they added Top Radio as an owner co-owner today, which is a pretty weird situation. I get to process that one yet before I think about it, but this is an owner who thinks that haircut works. He thinks he's a hot, young girlfriend who's there because he's a great guy. Not because he's got a billion dollars. Well, he doesn't actually have that there. They're cash. Poor. I know they sold off the Monte Adams to the Jets. Monte was never going to play there again. He was milking that hamstring injury for all that it was worth, and it was clear that he didn't want to be there anymore. Max Crossby's done the exact opposite. He said it in an interview, I believe it was last week, where he showed off the reader tattoo. He's proud to be there. He wants to stay there. If he doesn't want out, they're not getting rid of him. It doesn't matter what the Lions offer. They still think they're good. I know they're bad. You know they're bad. They don't know that, as sort of like when the Lions were going through the middle of the Mapetricia era, and it was pretty clear to everybody that he sucked as a coach, that he was sucking the life and the will to live out of every Lions fan. And by the way, Lions players, the Lions didn't know that. That's why they kept him for as long as they did. They were deluded. They were ignorant. They finally chired him. They finally pulled the plug and we're all better for that. But it took time. It's where the Raiders are at. They're not there yet. They just don't have that realization. Talking about Cleveland for a second, a town, a team that I know very well. Miles Garrett, not going to happen, would be phenomenal. I don't make any apologies about Miles Garrett's, my favorite player in the NFL. I love the guy watching him do a 50 inch box jump, by the way barefoot, with a 55 pound dumbbell in each hand, at 275 pounds, unfreaking real. When I ran Brown's wire, I used to just post videos of his workouts and people would watch the LA. That's incredible. He's the reigning defensive player of the year. He's got a shot at getting it again, now the hutch is out, even though he's playing injured. He's at about 75% of his capacity and still kicking ass. He's perfect in the Jew shorts defense, he'd be perfect in Detroit's defense, but you got to look at the organization as a whole again. The Browns are a freaking mess. Starts at the top. What else is going on? Their ownership is desperately trying to sell their beleaguered fan base that hates their quarterback, is not real fond of their coach anymore. Does it particularly like their GM anymore, because he keeps missing on just about every draft big he's had. They're trying to build a new stadium, and it's not a popular proposal, because they're trying to build it outside of town. They want to move from the downtown Cleveland area out to the Cleveland airport. Charles Garrett is the Nick Chubb. They are the most popular Browns players, and they, the Browns organization desperately needs people to believe in them and believe that there's still some hope and reason to care about this team, and reason to support them as they try their move out to Brook Park. I'm sure a Miles Garrett, any remaining good will to share with any of the fans, including many that are in my immediate family that I spent time with last week, is freaking gone, man. Like, it can't happen. It just can't. Is it Aria Smith? Okay. Maybe. If they continue to lose, and I expect that they will, their office is, and it's so badly destroyed in Amory Cooper, who really, really wanted out and really, really, really wanted away from DeShawn Watson. He's not the only one. Oh, my God. That's, that's just a mess. Maybe is it Aria Smith is available in a couple of weeks, he'd fit, solid role player, and that's, that's where I wanted to do this. I want to read the quote from Dan Campbell because he was on with Jim Costa, my good old friend and former Michigan, Michigan broadcasting award-winning show that we used to do. He's Jasson Hadaman, and this is, this is what Dan Campbell said about replacing Hutch. I'm going to read this here. It's going to take everybody on that defense to elevate a little bit, do a little bit more and we'll be just fine. And this was after he was talking about Mack, Ali McNeil, Levi Anzoreke, he brought up in order, Josh Pascal, DJ reader, Mitchell Agude, Isaac Ukum, Awkadeen Muhammad, Cam Gill, and James Houston. Four of those guys are on the practice squad, Agude Ukum Muhammad and Gill, although I would expect that one of them get signed this week, probably Ukum, because he played pretty darn well in Dallas, nice NFL debut for him, got better as the game went on, showed some athleticism, showed some knowledge of how to play against, against an offensive line that is different from when he sees in practice, which was kind of nice. So then, then he was asked, Campbell was asked about what type of player from the outside of the organization, the lines might be looking at to help replace Hutch's introduction. And this is Dan's quote, "Honestly, I think if anything, you're looking for a role player. Somebody that can set an edge, that can transition into rush. It doesn't have to be somebody, as you guys know, elite rushers and edged, edsetters don't just fall off trees, and if they do, they're like, "You're going to have to sell the farm to get them." But I do think there could be some guys out there that feed into what we're doing defensively. They can serve a rule, they can help," end quote. All right. He said that before the team signed Isaiah Thomas yesterday. Isaiah Thomas is a player, I don't know from Glee when I covered him. The last year I covered the Browns was 2022. He was there in their training game. I saw him in person, played okay. He's a seventh round pick from Oklahoma. He is the size parameter that they want in Detroit. He's 6'5", 265. Probably a little heavier than that now, from my understanding, from what I talked to with Bengals people, probably was up to about 272, which is even better. This is your potential Marcus Davenport replacement. In terms of a guy who can set an edge, he's not nearly as technically polished as Davenport. He got one sack in 10 games as a rookie in Cleveland, plays with a lot of energy, plays with a lot of wasted energy. The way I equate it, I remember going back into Oklahoma and also seeing him at the senior bowl. He's very, very active with his hands, but he doesn't always know what to do with him. There's a lot of energy. There's a lot of superfluous energy waste motion with him. They can harness that in. I will say the Browns kind of surprised some people when they let him go with the sausage because he played very well in the preseason. He's worth a shot. He's worth a look. This is the type of role player that Dan Campbell is talking about. The guy who can come in and maybe give you 12 to 20 snaps, play the run on the way to the quarterback. We'll see how he does on that. That was not necessarily his forte in his prior stops, or at Oklahoma for that matter, but it's worthwhile to see what he can do as a young player who fits the athletic profile that they want. Very good athlete. That's the kind of guy you're looking at that Dean Campbell just told you what he wants, what the team wants. They want a role player. They want a guy who can set an edge and then go get the quarterback in that order. Listen to him, listen to your coach, listen to your GM. Have they lied to you before? Have they deceived you before? Enough with the crazy outlandish trade things. That's not going to happen. Gary Hendrickson is another one to bring up from the Bengals, where as the atomishes came from. The Bengals think they're going to win the Super Bowl again. It's delusional as hell. They don't know that. They don't know they're not good. By the way, in the AFC, if they beat Cleveland this weekend and they should, there's potential if a couple of other games fall, they're in the playoffs at three and four. They would be, if the season ended today, there's that thing, they'd be in the playoffs. The AFC is so bad beyond Kansas City at the top, and you can throw Houston and Baltimore are pretty solid most of the time, but not elite, Pittsburgh, a little bit of a tear below that, and then there's everybody else. There's no reason to think that any team other than the Browns can make the playoffs. Maybe the Jaguars, although the Jaguars don't seem really too crucial that they're going to make it, although they did trade off one of their assets to Seattle this week. There's talk, I know why there's some honest fans out there. Go get Josh Hines Allen, go get Treflan Walker, Jacksonville is at that point yet either. Maybe they'll get there in a couple of weeks if they lose a couple more. I don't know. They're not there now. And until that happens, it's a fantasy. Look, I like fantasy world, I put it in the slack. I would love, like my dream fantasy is to wrestle with Julian Moore in a vat of vanilla pudding on stage at an Iron Maiden concert. I would kill to have that fantasy come true, but it ain't, it's just not realistic. That's what these three offers are. They are, you know, being on stage in a vat of pudding at an Iron Maiden concert, it's going to be even a little pudding though, like it's weird. So that's where we are replacing Hutch. Expect more from Isaac Nooku, but I thought played pretty well. I will have a film study review on him up at Lionswire probably before you watch this because I'm going to send this in. There's a little bit of time that it takes to produce this and I'm halfway done with writing the article already. For those who still hold out hope for James Houston, this is your crap or get off the pot moment for James Houston. If he's a healthy scratch again, after Hutch's out, after Barnes at Sam is out, after the heaven board's gone, it's probably time to give him up that ghost. It's unfortunate. It's pretty clear the team doesn't see him as an answer and the way that he's been sort of an afterthought at all the mentions, like, Dan Gamble brought up four practice squad guys before he got to James Houston as a potential solution. In the aftermath of the game was the sort of the same way. In fact, it wasn't the after, it was the press conference that he gave on Monday. And it was like, oh, yeah, that James Houston guy is still here for now, but that's sort of the way you need to perceive that. But I'm encouraged by Oooku. I'm curious what he can do more. I liked Mitchell Lagoude a lot this summer. I thought he deserved to make the team. We'll see what he can do if he gets called up, but I kind of suspect he will this week. Let's go to replacing Derek Barnes real fast. Trevor Nowaski played well in Detroit. He also played pretty well in a very small role in Seattle. He's got the athleticism. He's got the instincts. He's got to get more comfortable playing with who's around him. And that's a young player issue. Not always confident in his reads, not always sure that, okay, well, the tight ends running this way and Jack's like over there and he's maybe looking at that tight, like, there's little things like that that he's got to work out. His experience will help with that. Excuse me. I was encouraged by what I saw from Nowaski as well. So there's some hope there. Could get if he got to Malefanu back at some point this season. He can help with blitzing. He did that very well at the end of last year. He's on injured reserve right now. We'll miss at least the next three games, but there's hope that they can do more schematic blitzing and more thunting, more twisting, more gimmicky stuff. Five man lines, six man lines, three man lines. Let's confuse them. Aaron Glenn has shown, I know people don't like hearing Glenn. You should. He's doing great this year. He got the second year that he wanted and is playing very well. Plans have the eighth best scoring defense in the league. They are number one against defending the run against running backs. Pretty good. Some good things that are happening on this defense. They have forced the highest percentage of tight throw windows by opposing quarterbacks by a significant amount. They're at over 27 percent. The next best team is the Ravens at 22 percent. Yeah, they give up big place. That's every team does. Every team does. I have some faith that Aaron Glenn is going to be able to scheme some things. Look, Mapitricia schemed up a pass rush, believe it or not. He didn't have big players doing it because he liked slow big guys. You can scheme a pass rush. That's actually one of the easiest things to do as a defense. It's harder to tackle in space. It's harder to come up with a covering scheme that fits your personnel. We all know about it. He's he. Now that he's got the personnel that fits what he wants, he's able to do what he wants and is working pretty well. The playmakers at the back end, Brian Branch, Kirby Joseph, Kirby Joseph, matching Ed Reed. Ed Frickin Reed, from my money, the best defensive player of the 21st century. Kirby Joseph just did something that nobody besides Ed Reed has done, intercepting at least four passes in each of his first three seasons. I'm not saying he's Ed Reed. Nobody is. The guy's incredible. One of my all-time favorite players he played for a team that I don't particularly care for. That tells you the level of respect I have for Ed Reed. It's getting it done. You change the focus a little bit where you're not relying on the pass rush as much to create the heavy because you can cover. Terry and Arnold playing very well. Still a little handsy. Got to clean that up. You're working on it. Carl and Davis had a whale of a game guarding CD-Lamp, played very well in that game. Cowboys couldn't get open. Some of that was... Again, so that's the pass rush. You saw Eileen McNeil have a devastating day. It was great. Hudge getting injured on that sack play. Like after that went out, they were still able to get some pressure. There will be better offensive lines than Dallas's. We can play one this week in Minnesota. And that's where we'll go. I don't like this matchup. I don't like that Minnesota is coming off a buy. They're at home. They are looking for a pelt on the wall. I spent last week the buy week. I was in Minnesota. I was in Duluth, Minnesota with my family, celebrating the life of my late uncle Ken. Cheers to Ken. If you are a martini drinker, drink one in his honor, please. He was a very interesting man. Probably wouldn't know the first thing about football. He wasn't a sports guy. But in talking with a lot of the people that knew him, they found out what I did for a living and they wanted to talk football. And so we did. And the Vikings are, they're looking, they're hungry to show that they're not a fluke at 5-0. I don't think they were a fluke either. I still wonder how long that defense is going to be able to cobble it together. But right now they look great. They've had time to survey the Lions coming off of a buy week. The extra time to prepare for Ben Joss's freakishly creatively awesome offense. Brian Flores is getting it done right now. So I don't like this matchup this week. I think the Lions are going to lose this one. Sorry. Got to call it the way I see it. I think the Lions can win if they can go in and out score them. Goss going to have to be close to perfect. Now, the good thing is, he has been. Last two weeks he's been phenomenal. I don't think that the Vikings can cover Seat Brown and Laporta gives out of the backfield. Jamo going deep. By the way, that passed to Jamo. Yeah, buddy, that was nice. So I'm not saying that the Lions don't have a chance. They can go in and absolutely win this game. But I think the Vikings are favored for good reason in this one. It's going to be a tough one. I do think it's going to be a great game and I'm happy that it's getting the run that it is nationally. I'm kind of surprised that they didn't flex it, but I guess they can't flex games yet. Oh, well. Well, I'm looking forward to it. It should be a great game. Should be a good test for how the Lions are going to approach life without hutch and Davenport and Barnes. There are also three best passrushers almost in consecutive weeks. That's tough to overcome. There's a lot of talent on this team. They can go out and they can get it done. Hope it happens. Hope the defense confuses Sam Darnold. But man, they got playmakers. Addison's great. Jefferson's phenomenal. Aaron Jones looks like he's going to be healthy. They do have a good offensive line and they're they're defense the way that they confuse things and having that extra time that that it leads me to predict that the Vikings are going to win this game. But that's the only room for the Lions. This is still a great team as I wrote earlier this week at Lions Wire just because they lost a notch and they can still win this Super Bowl with the team they've got. I absolutely believe that. I hope you do too. It would be great if they got somebody else that came in. But as Dan Campbell has said, as Brad Holmes has told you repeatedly, it's not what they do business. So have faith in your team. Enjoy this run. See for that Dallas win as much as you can. I know I know it's a fear of victory, you know, with with hutch going down. But damn man, that was fun made it great to be a Lions fan. It's still a great time to be a Lions fan with that. Peace out. Thanks for watching. Let's bring it here together. Let's go. You've had enough of that shit.
