I'm okay. I just smoked them another till the face. Yeah, she
wanted to stay singing to your bitch. I go with Drake. Don't just
try to tell me you love me. You can't keep it. Really,
if you really don't trust me, you come with a real you have up
in the front, so you get my meals. I'm conning for the money,
money in the bank, coming with a dank scrilling, that tank thrilling
with the gang. You sit on the sideline trip and I go to the
whole with a rock lake peppy. Yeah, I'm okay. Sick, bro,
fucking sick, bro, well, sick to my fucking stomach. Bro,
what the fuck? Oh no, really, it's my Cordna. I
don't know. We got we go easy, literally just got here, so
we haven't had time to discuss it at all. We have a big show
lined up for you guys. But Brad Holmes said, dropped the bomb on
that dish fifty three million dollars average annual value. Jared Goff re signs his
extension four years, two hundred and twelve million dollars, one hundred and seventy
million of it guaranteed the richest contract in Detroit Lions history. Easy, I
need your initial reaction. Yeah, yeah, So, I mean we've had
this conversation before. Obviously, like these has been expected for not a year,
but you know since in the middle of like last season. I'd say
you obviously we know that backload these deals most of the time. So there's
there's a window we magic can happen. Because he is playing well right now
and we have to see spinning, we're gonna have this. I mean,
what can I say at this point this it's signed, delivered, delivery.
If I'm not mistaken, this is still twenty twenty eight. With this one,
we go see we don't see. That's that's that's where we're right now.
There is one deciding factor and if this is a good contract or if
this is a bad contract. And that one deciding factor is if the Detroit
Lions win the Super Bowls go. If the Detroit Lions win the Super Bowl,
Man, this is the best contract in franchise history. If the Detroit
Lions don't win the Super Bowl, this is a bad contract. That's all
it boils down to. It's no more. Let's see golf stats. I
don't give a ship about golf stats. On the year. I don't give
a shit about anything else. If they win the super Bowl, it's the
best contract of all time. If they don't win the super Bowl, it's
a bad contract. That's flat out what it is. I'm excited because I
I said, they're winning the super Bowl this year. My expectations for them
to win the super Bowl this year. They got all the pieces in check.
They're gonna go out there, They're gonna win a super Bowl. That's
what I'm saying that these next two years for damn sure, like there's a
window for something to happen. I mean, that's that's where I'm at.
I've been very vocal about how I you know, I think he's brought it
in success. It's obviously a lot of the pieces around him. I'm not
the only one saying those things. He's got those around him right now.
He does, I pay Sue locked in for a long time. I'm roud
locked in for a long time. Those two pivotal pieces for him to do
what he's got to do, and he's got those locked in alongside him.
So I mean, we again, we go and see that. That's just
That's that's where I'm at for now. I'm not happy. I'm not mad.
I'm just I guess I'm nervous, anxious, But there's no reason to
because I've always believed in these next two years, Nick, where you at,
I'm high, boys, I'm not gonna lie. We're not letting him
walk. You know, We're not going into the year with uncertainty. This
is big. He becomes the second highest average and nual salary quarterback at fifty
three million dollars per season, right behind Joe Burrow at fifty five. That's
insane to say, but like you guys said, this is all about the
Super Bowl. The windows open. Let's go get one because I'm fired up
that we got them locked up and we all believe in Brad Holmes here and
Brad made this decision to re sign Golf, so we all got to back
him. And you better believe the next three contracts that are gonna get signed
are gonna push Golf down on that average annual value list, because, like
we said, still needing contracts that are probably gonna get done this year are
guys like Dak Prescott, Trevor Lawrence. To a tongue of aaloa, those
are deals that are gonna push golf's average annual value down. This is the
market, this is the going rate. I know we had our our dreams
and our hopes that it would be under fifty It was not under fifty fifty
three million dollars average annual value. Jared Goff, I know we had our
differences, but you turned to me last year. I was on these I
was in these postgame shows in tears, shedding real tears because of what you
brought a franchise. I said in these postgame shows. You are the best
quarterback in Detroit Lions history. You won multiple playoff games, you won the
NFC North, you did things that no other quarterback has done for the Detroit
Lions. And now you got the richest deal in the history of the franchise.
Congratulations to you, Congratulations to your family. Now let's go win a
fucking super Bowl. That's all that matters. Now. I don't care about
how much you get paid. I don't care about how many touchdowns, how
many interceptions you throw. Go win a fucking super Bowl. That is the
only thing that matters. Amen. And if the jersey bet was it won
with uh was his name Florida? It was his name, Trell and FLA.
He was the one talking about hometown discount fifty three million dollars AVY average
annual value. Like you said, Sminni, let's go into Super Bowl,
Chris. I mean, the thing I'm looking at, and I feel like
it would have been clarified by this point, is what is the terms and
conditions of the fourth year. I didn't hear anything about an option or anything,
because we've always heard that that was the sticking point, right that Brad
Holmes and company wanted three years and Golf and his team wanted more, so
they ended up meeting in the middle at four. But I'm wondering if that
fourth year is fully guaranteed, what the type of stipulations are on that.
Maybe that will come out shortly, but I feel like that would have been
announced. But yeah, I'm with Spencer. He hit the nail on the
head. Look, if you win a Super Bowl, this is a great
contract. If you don't, then it's not. That's it. That's where
that's where we're at. Winning games, Baby, fifty three million year.
I thought I was one. I was smoking before this. Hey, bro,
I'm just saying this is it's crazy. It's crazy. Brad Holmes is
wheeling and dealing, signing and shining, you know, shout out Walt Clyde
Frazier. But this is an insane contract. This is, like I said,
it is the richest contract in the history of the franchise. This is
a guy who did things that the franchise couldn't see. Guy I personally hated
on. I'll admitt it. I hated on him. I didn't think he'd
be able to do what he did last year. He went out there and
did it, and he shut me up, and he got me on his
side. And now everyone needs to be on his side because he is your
quarterback for the next four years, and you're gonna win a Super Bowl,
which Jared Golf is your quarterback. You discussed me, I mean, bro
discussed easy. How are you just paying her into the crowd? I said
they were going to win a Super Bowl before I'm him. Getting paid for
three million dollars a year is not going to change that. I still have
the expectations that they're going to win a Super Bowl. Yeah, expectations that.
Yeah, you said like they're going to That's what expectations meant. I
expect them to win the Super Bowl. Easy, tell us how you really
feel that's how I feel. We just I mean, let's fucking go there.
How I feel does not matter, It does not change anything. It's
locked in. They did it fifty three million dollars a year, one hundred
seventy million guaranteed. The guarantees. I don't know if they could be the
We don't know how that shakes out. I know Chris was asked about that
kind of waiting for that. Is it guarantee? Every single year is guaranteed
the first two years? Like, I guess that's the kind of numbers I'm
looking forward to. To be honest with you, I'm waiting for that kind
of stuff to roll out. If it's broken down to every single year guaranteed,
and how much is the back half of the guarantees, because I would
like to be I guess I'd like to be able to pivot off of it
if it does turn out, you know, Ben john'son goes to get the
head coaching job and things aren't the same. I would like the flexibility.
I just I really would so like for me to truly, I guess,
allow myself to whither. I'd have to see that, I'd have to see
that guaranteed four years locked in. He's the guy the next four years.
Again, he is the guy for damn sure right now, and we are
for damn sure on projection to compete for a super Bowl. And that's obviously
the expectations for everybody. Let's go do it. I mean, like I
said, it don't matter. We're in the end game. And you better
believe one thing. They're all in at the trade deadline this year. So
all the all the all the bitching and mona and shit that we did at
the trade deadline last year, you better believe they're gonna go after some names
at the trade deadline this year because this is their year. This is your
window. Go all in, get playmakers, get difference makers at the deadline
to bring in here and go win a super Bowl. This is gonna be
the best season the Lions football ever. And I'm so excited for it.
I like that bar that bar. I felt passionate that one that one forell
real best season. Let him blind if here what the record is, it's
gonna be a ride. And then again, we're going in with expectations.
Last year's expectation was for I mean, for the least for me, I
can only speak to myself personally. Was for sure to win a damn playoff
game. Don Wax had those things to say. I never said they couldn't
do. With Jared Goff, that was always a belief. You'd be stupid
to say you couldn't. This year, the expectations a little bit higher.
So it's gonna be fun, man, It's gonna be fun. H I
mean, let's go. I really don't. I wish I brought Oh no,
we got those other headphones too. Do we ever fix the phone lines?
Yes, phone lines are good, Okay, open them up. Let's
maybe let's get the headphones call in. Let's get your guys reaction again.
If you are if you were on the side of caution, I'll say,
as like a spinning myself where once upon time again there's still some caution to
have. Like, let's let's see what the back half of this thing looks
like. Let's see how much of this is guaranteed within the first few years.
That's fifty three million, dude, That's what I'm listening that song all
day. I don't know what I mean. I know that I was made
for loving you, baby, you made for loving me kiss great song.
That's a banger. But yeah, we we had a whole line. Guess
what, we don't have to talk about the fucking bullshit Pistons anymore because Brad
Holmes gifted us a topic for the whole day. Yeah, we definitely do,
but fuck the Pistons. Jared Goff is Now, what did you say,
the second highest paid, second highest every annual quarterback a year. It's
gonna go down the list. But I'm just the Lions are gonna win a
super Bowl next year. That's crazy. I hope you're right. It's gonna
be kissing the Lombardi Trophy. And like I said, if you guys are
just coming in now, if you're just tuning in, I don't care anymore
about touchdowns, about interceptions. It's about winning the super Bowl. There's one
deciding factor on if this deal for Jared Goff is a good deal or a
bad deal, and that is if you win the super Bowl. If you
win the super Bowl, it is the best contract in franchise history. If
you don't win a super Bowl, it's a bad contract. Baseline. Okay,
update, I got my wish. The new deal puts Jared Goff through
twenty twenty seven with the option for twenty twenty eight mean that last year more
likely not guaranteed and probably a heavy team option or player option. Team option
option for twenty twenty eight. That probably means it's heavily backloaded. It's kind
of what we were talking, but we thought it would be a lesser annual
value. We were thinking forty five to fifty. He went and touch fifty
three. So really at fifty three is like, that's what it averages out
to get us AAV for the numbers behind it. I guess we'll find out
on spot track tomorrow or over the cap. John Hughes says, that's cap
two spending insta market. No, it's not cap You signed him to be
a franchise quarterback. What you win the super Bowl, it's the best contract
of all time. If you don't, it's failure. It's flat out every
year. Now, like I said, I've been saying this for years.
We're at the big boy table. Now. It's not oh, cute playoff
win, oh cute division win. You are in the mode of winning super
Bowls. If you don't win a super Bowl, the season was disappointing.
That's the ponderous women in now so you better get used to those expectations.
If you have a Super Bowl, other numbers matter at all. I really
don't like look at look at Patrick Mahomes last year. He had a bad
year for his standards, but they won a Super Bowl, so nobody gives
a fuck. That's what a couple of people and throw the numbers, other
numbers, the numbers, numbers, like the numbers. That's not this game
works. That's why football is so goddamn entertaining. It's any given Sunday,
like truly, like anything can happen. The ball doesn't even bounce straight up
like you you don't know what's gonna happen in this game. Don't throw these
stats and use that as your cover for like or argument. I mean,
that's why the people you talking about the Green Bay guy we had on whatever
stats he tried to use the shit on. Like the Detroit Lions. We
obviously all know the Detroit lines are still very fucking good. Yep, we
obviously know David Montgomery is one of the I guess top fifteen top ten running
backs in the game. Top fifteen top ten is kind of crazy, but
we're gonna talk about that to day too. But we'll get into a man.
We have five fourteen we do gotta hit a break. We get back.

again, Jared Goff has signed a new extension. I've sended him up to
twenty twenty eight, four years, one hundred and seventy million guaranteed. It's
two than twelve million total. If he finishes out those four years, that's
through twenty twenty seven, but there's a team option for twenty twenty eight,
per source is initially reported. If I'm not mistaken by Tom Pella, sero
of NFL Network, and we're here reacting to it, and I'm glad that
I got to see the initial tweet. I saw the options Againstpinny. That's
what we were talking. Yeah, all right, that's that's all I needed
to actually kind of calm down in real time. Right now, I'm fine.
We've had the discussion before two year window for sure, Before those like
that cap starts to like hit and eat away at what you got going on.
We got it, We got it, Let's get it. Yeah,
that's where I'm at and studie. Yeah, it's what it is. Cutting
dry now, there's no you cannot dissent, there is no hating, there
is no nothing. It is just about winning, winning games, winning super
Bowls and having success. That's all we care about. Jared Goff is the
quarterback of the Detroit Lions, going for it. Like I said at the
end of the year last year, he had me crying tears and in this
very studio after postseason games because I got to see something I'd never seen before
in my life. That's the Easies bawl, and that is the Detroit Lions
winning playoff games. And that is a big factor because of Jared Goff.
So I remember stick freaking out when I said he's the best quarterback in franchise
history. It's and now he is paid like it. Like I said,
the richest contract in the history of the Detroit Lions. It was gonna be
that regardless he resigned a quarterback contract in twenty twenty four. That's what that
was gonna be. But we actually got some headphones. If you guys obviously
can see if you're listening to us, on YouTube and we have some callers
who we got first. We got dev the Dog to have you live on
air. What else? Fella? What up? Man? I feel I'm
fucking feeling like Simsy right now. I Like, as soon as I saw
that ship pop up on my fall, I was like, uh, I
know, Easy got a high class for all to day his heart beating this
ship. But now we're gonna, we're gonna We're gonna calm me down,
Easy, because we're gonna get you some money tomorrow. We're gonna flip my
car for you. I'm gonna get you some money, so you ain't got
it. You're gonna have that Jared Golf money, a little little of that
Jared Goff money. But man, overall, I'm I'm excited as ship man.
Like Finney said, like, bro, I've been watching Lions since I
can fucking remember, like crawling kind of points, and like just to see
that it's not even about like a golf bag. It's about the fact that
the organization cares about the fucking players for the first time and like so long,
like that was like the number one thing we had against the Lions is
that they didn't paint nobody and like they just broke all stereotypes and all like
traditions that we don't play players. So not only just that paying golf,
it shows that we actually care about our players. Bro it's gonna it's up
like we are in the same round. Like I don't want to hear about
the Packers. I don't want to share about the Bears this year. I
don't want to share about anybody in the NFC nor. It's all Lions all
day, baby, and that's all I got the same because that's the damn
bar. They're not like us. They're not like them, They're not like
us. Appreciate you dev great call, Appreciate your calling in, brov and
uh yes, hey the phones are to mess up. Oh damn, appreciate
appreciate you brother, appreciate you calling in. It's uh he's right, like
it is new. I mean, I think the Lions paid players before,
but they paid the wrong guys. And now they paid guys to come in
here and do some things. They paid guys to come in here and change
things. This regime is paying the guys that got them to where they are.
The Penney Sules now I'm Saint Browns. And now the Jared goffs all
getting insanely, insanely insanely huge contracts at the top of their respective positions.
So, yeah, Jared Goff is here to stay, and the phones are
open. I put the I put the number in the chat Kristen pint.
Okay, I'll find it was a bum. But no, I call in.
Let's hear your let's hear your thoughts of Jared Goff getting a four year,
two hundred and twelve million dollar extension. Obviously, Devin was very excited.
I think that is going to be the resounding, resounding tone from Lions
face. He did it perfectly, Brad Holmes. It is like he paid
Jared Goff, and if you want to be honest about it, like the
value of just bringing Detroit that playoff win and the first time in thirty two
years, that is worth well worth fifty three million in more. I would
have given a lot up for that to happen. As discussing as a sound,
but I would have so that those two playoff games, those those two
playoff wins, I should say, those are your first two guaranteed years,
your three year four You have to be determined, but we're locked in right
now. I've never swayed away from that situation. Can win a situation in
the first like two years from it, let's get it. He has every
piece around him to get it done right now. He has got a phenomenal
tackle that could play both sides of the line, and Penne Sool. He's
got phenomenal play making wide receiver. And I say play making in terms of
just sure handed yat King because he does nasty things after he gets that football
in his hands, gets to those extra yards. He's gonna set the tone
in the locker room too, for what it takes to get paid like that,
what it takes it to be the Yat King, what it takes to
be and all pro in the same set for Pennea school. That's what this
guy needs to succeed. He has it around him. On top of it.
I mean he's already started talking crazy like you know, trade deadline.
Maybe he had a little bit more, because I mean, that's what it
takes to win a Super Bowl in this NFL. We've seen it work at
least get to there in terms like that. We saw the Eagles do it,
we saw the Rams do it. He saw the pay I'm sorry,
not the Patriots, but the tamp Bay Buccaneers do with Tom Brady stack up,
Yeah, stack up and Ken in the woomend sports chat saying Biolin by
Decker, by Laporta by branch, branching. Laporta's rookie contracts won't be up
until Jared Goff's option yere, which is the last year on this deal.
And yeah, though Alee McNeil, though it is looking like this might be
the the writing on the wall. It's what happens. You're gonna have some
cap casualties when you re sign people, and unless they can work around it
and make magic, Alie McNeil might be might be one of those. How
do you feel about that, Nick, that part of it or do you
even I mean, it's kind of silly to think about that right now,
I guess. I mean, yeah, it's it's future problems, but you're
right on that. You're gonna have to when you draft so many good players,
and like Brad has done, you are gonna lose some. So hopefully
with them leaving we can get the comp picks and Brad just keeps restacking with
it. That's what we're gonna have to do, is not miss on our
first through third round picks. Honestly, we're gonna have to replace a lot
of these guys. If you know, we're resetting the market basically at three
positions, you know, like that doesn't come cheap. And obviously it's not
resetting at quarterback. But with Piney Sewell in Saint Brown, it stacks up
quick. So I mean, that's one thing that comes with it. But
let's be honest here, fellas, there's no way that they were gonna let
Jared Goff walk. He has he has the key to the city. You
know, he's the mayor of Detroit. Like he brought what we thought nobody
else could do to this city, completely captivated it. Everyone's singing Jared Goff
chants at other games, at women's like high school basketball games. It was
absolutely insane. So yeah, I mean, I'm happy for me. I'm
happy what were done. Shout up, gun guy, take your pants off.
No, I agree, I agree with you. Nick. We have
any callers, Yeah, we got two. We're gonna go out to San
Antonio and we're going to Blake Blake, You're live on air Blake and San
Antonio with those big women down there, eaton churros, how you feeling,
Blake, there we go. What's good y'all you doing? Brother? Hey
man, Hey, I'm just saying, Jered Goffe. Pay the man.
Pay the man that took us where places we have never been. Pay the
man what he's worth. Hey him, he's worth it. And his contract
gonna go down. Uh more, people are gonna get paid higher than him.
He's worth it, man, he's worth it. Give it. Give
me a super Bowl in two or three years, and bro, I don't
even care. I don't even care about anything. That's where I'm at.
Win the super Bowl, facts, win the super Bowl. Winning is the
cure all like, appreciate you calling in, brother. That is gonna be
the sentiment for Lions fans going forward is that it doesn't matter. Nothing else
matters now except for winning the super Bowl. That is the only thing that
matters. It should be the only thing that matters for every team in the
NFL. But back in the day, you know us saying it is Lions
fans, this is our year. You sound illusional. No, this is
our fucking year. This is our year. The Detroit Lions will be hosting
or hoisting the Lombardi Trophy at the end of the year. Take it to
the fucking bank. Jared Goff's gonna gonna win a super Bowl for the Detroit
Lions. Hell yeah, you can believe it. It's gonna happen. I
didn't think i'd say those words three four years ago, but not seeing what
he did in the playoffs, seeing what this team accomplished in the playoffs,
the way they play around him, the way they're all bought into him.
They're gonna win the fucking super Bowl this year. Who else we got Nick?
We got Devin out in Las Vegas. Devin, you're live on the
Heavyweightsagas Vegas. Shout out Devin Way. Let's go Hey originally from Mount Clements
Man, just chilling out here in Vegas now, fucking let's go Jared Goff
though, man stoked. I'm stoked from man. I mean, it's it's
pretty incredible how in my twenty eight years of life, how far the lines
have come. I think it's pretty dope. It's just bring that super Bowl
back home, baby, you know, like that would be amazing, Like
that would just crack all of my sports Like camaraderie. Camaraderie's from the Pistons,
you know, the Red Wings I mean it would top at all,
you know, so let's go for sure. That's what it's all about.
We appreciate your calling in, Devin from one from Las Vegas on from San
Antonio. Man, have you wait around the country maybe? Well, actually
he's right, heavyweights around the country. Shout to my guy. Put his
name in there. Julian. Julian from Pennsylvania. Shout out. Julian from
Pennsylvania. Ran to him at lunch with Tifoss. Oh yeah, he came
upside. What up though? Yeah, but it's Jared Goff. If you're
living under a rock or if you're just joining the show. Jared Goff signed
his extension four years, two hundred and twelve million dollars, one hundred and
seventy fully guaranteed. It is the richest contract in Detroit Lions history. He
is your quarterback and he's gonna win a Super Bowl for the Detroit Lions this
year. Got anybody else, Nick, Yeah, we went all over the
West coast. We're going to the city of Detroit with that. So on,
what up? Chase, you're live on air? Chase, how you
feeling, Chase? Oh? I can't hear you, Chase, You're live
on air maybe lost and Chase. I think it's awesome for I'm stoked about
the the signing. I think it keeps our window open for a long time.
I think Golf is a proven winner, not just here in Detroit over
the last few years, but also while we're well he was in LA I
thought when we traded Stafford for Golf and we got a couple first round picks
out of it, you know, after we moved up in the draft,
I thought it was a very good move. I thought this team was heading
in the right direction. And I'm just super stoked. I think Spencer said
it right on the head. Chairy Goff's gonna win a championship for this team.
He's gonna bring up Super Bowl to Detroit. It's going to be fun
to see Easy's face when he's wearing his Jordan Love jersey crying that the Packers
are sitting in second place in division for the next you know, however,
many years to Love's going to be quarterback in Green Bay. But as long
as we have Brad Holmes, we have Dan Campbell, and we have Jared
Goff here, Detroit is gonna be a problem for not just the NFC North,
but the rest of the NFL. Am right, I am right,
Chase, appreciate you calling in, brother, And that is one thing that
we haven't mentioned is yeah, like how Ken said Goodbyele and goodbye all these
guys, all stuff like that. Yeah, you have a guy in Brad
Holmes who is one of, if not the best, in the league at
drafting talent. So insulating a roster, republishing, refurbishing a roster with talent.
He can do that through the draft. So you really don't got to
worry about losing guys because he's been drafting all pros on a consistent basis.
That's what I was gonna say too. I mean the Brad Holmes part of
it. I mean the things you need with Jared Goff. Obviously you need
him to be any great pieces around him, and Brad Holmes proven he's able
to do that. He's capable of doing that. We do have to lit
a break here. We got more calls in the line. Call in you
guys want to talk, you shit calling, if you guys want to express
your pain, whatever you feel right now. I want to know how the
city Detroit feels about Jared Goff signing two hundred twelve million dollars one hundred and

easy, joined by Smoll Rex Chris Nicholas Koloff. Let's calash that like button,
be a friend tele a friends Ship is dream. Reacting to Jared Goff
signing the four year, two hundred twelve million dollar one hundred and seventy million
guaranteed extension of the Detroit Lions option in that final year in twenty twenty eight,
the richest contract Detroit Lions history. He's here, He's here for the
super Bowl window. He will be manning the ship more likely the entire way
through. Definitely more than likely. It is his team now is you know
they had the test drive for a couple of years with him. They liked
what they saw and they bought the car. They gave, they made the
purchase. And now Jared Goff is that franchise quarterback for the Detroit Lions.
And I said it earlier, I'm gonna say it every time. There is
one deciding factor and if this contract is a success or not, and that
is if you win the super Bowl. If you win the super Bowl,
this is the greatest contract in franchise history. If you don't win the super
Bowl, the contract is a failure, flat out, flat out, because
that's where we're at right now as the Lions in the panthonon of football.
The Detroit Lions are super Bowl contenders. They should be thinking super Bowl,
expecting super Bowl, demanding super Bowl and everything else is a failure. Nick,
we got without further ado. We're gonna try this back. We got
gun guy, Gun guy, You're alive on air gun guy taking pants off
baby hey Man signing Jared Goff probably one of the best things the Lions have
done in a long time, besides you know, Saint Brown and uh yeah,
I'm happy for it. Yeah's history. That's that might be. Brad
Holmes also might be the greatest content right. I want to address that crazy
Packer fan you guys had on there. I don't know if it was Thursday
or Friday last week, but now every time I picture a Packers fan,
I picture that that guy lost his mind. Yeah, two rookie corners to
start. I don't think we'll rely on rookie corners. We got the guy
from Tampa Bay and Jeers. He said they were gonna get injured in like
the first week or something. That guy's lost his mind. Some what you're
saying about Dave Montgomery was absolute outlandish. That that was the craziest part to
me, that that was like especially, I guess I wish I would have
thought in the moment to ask him what does he think of AJ Dillon?
Because he must think of him as an absolute fucking garbage. That's why imagines
just a guy, isn't It's good to finally talk to you guys, take
your pants off. I'll be talking again. Sometimes take your pants off.
Appreciate your gun guy shout out, shut out gun guy legend in the chat.
But yeah, it's again. If you're if you're just joining us,
if you're new, if you don't have Twitter, or you haven't or Jared
Goff signs his four year extension two hundred and twelve million dollars one hundred and
seventy million, fully guaranteed to make him the second richest quarterback per average annual
value in the NFL. Awesome stuff. Line's got a doune. Super Bowl
window is next year. My phone is absolutely blowing up. Everybody's texting you
and put that on. Uh do not to serve. Let's do it,
Let's win. I guess. I mean, that's really all I have to
say. I don't. I'm not gonna say here and say negative things and
I gonna sit here and bit, I'm not gonna sear your complain. Like
we've one games with him, we got one game away from Super Bowl with
them. We added more additions and dishes that we I know that I believe
in. At least I would it comes like completing this defense at least just
making this defense better. We've done that, We've gave a depth we required
Carlton Davis, the guy who's literally gone there and won a super Bowl beforehand.
Two, let's get it. Let's complet eat the process, and I
won't have shit to say. I truly won't have shit to say if he
wins the super Bowl. That's all I want out of this. That's that's
how I's why I speak on this team, That's how we project this team
to be. When I when I say these things, I want to win
a super Bowl. This is my favorite team in all sports, my favorite
team, my tired life, my selfish self, past that disgusting habit onto
my son now too, where he's a Detroit Liance fan. Just get us
a super Bowl. Let him enjoy that, Let me enjoy that, Let
my uncle enjoy that, Let my grandma enjoy that. Let our families enjoy
that. Please please, We gotta take the cat from Dante one fifty one
to just realize that the Packers have to give Jordan Love a contract extension that
is higher than Golf's contract. So good luck with that mess, Green Bay.
So Dante one fifty one, that is true based on a situation like
us. So they got a lot of rookie contracts. I get a lot
of rookie contract forward. But yeah, Jordan Loves gonna get a contract.
Dak Prescott still needs a contract. To a tongue of Aaloa needs a contract,
Trevor Lawrence needs a contract. All these guys are going to get paid
more than Jared Goff, so that average annual value is going to tick down.
And once it's all said and done, once all these guys get re
upped, it's gonna be in the same area that it was, where it's
eight to ten, eight to thirteen, that range we talked about. I'm
looking at the Chiefs cat spaces just off the top of my head and trayfic
teams that have a lot of high valued guys at on their cap. Chiefs
the first one to come the mine. So I'm looking them up because obviously
they got Patrick Mahomes, you got Chris Jones, got Travis Kelcey. I'm
just trying to piece how many guys they're paying fat deals too. As I
say something less a lot less sus have Mahomes. Actually, Joe Thuney,
he's got a fat deal two he's twenty six million this year. Juwan Taylor
has a fat deal this year too. Kelsey Justin reed, wow, he's
got fourteen two. Looks like a lot of their guys are backloaded as well.
Chris Jones included and Chris, we haven't gotten your thoughts on the on
the Jared Off contract. How are you feeling about it? I mean,
again, that third year or that fourth year, sorry, being optional is
big to me. That was the thing I pointed out the very first segment
of the show. I think that there's not much more to say. I
mean, this is a commitment and the Lions are going to ride and die
off this. This is this is going to determine the Lion's next three to
four seasons. It's as simple as that. There's not really too much to
dive into. I think he earned this contract. I think this contract is
market value. But ultimately I don't care about market value. I don't care
about fair I want to I want to lie in Super Bowl and if this
is going to get us it, then it's worth it. If not,
then it's a bad contract. That's That's just simply how I'm looking at it.
But do I believe that Jared Goff can win a super Bowl in this
situation with that money on this team, I absolutely do. I didn't think
that two years ago. I do now. I believe that this is this
is a championship roster top to bottom, including the quarterback. And again just
going back to teams that are currently paying multiple guys big deals, it really
just depends on how everything's structured. I mean, I just pulled the Eagles,
like the guy was mentioning the over sports chat. I just got done
with the Chiefs before. Then everything's just kind of structured and situated differently.
And as long as like they able to do that, if Mike Disner helped,
I guess pocket that money to were we you can still add on to
what we're trying to do right now and complete the process, then I'm cool
with it. Because I'm looking at Jalen Hurts, who signed his big deal
just last year. His cap number for this year is only thirteen million dollars.
I think JG is still gonna be somewhere like twenty two because I think
he was locked in this year regardless. Unless they moved that some of that
into that guaranteed money, then you know that's across the table for those back
years. That's what I saw Joey two times. OG shout out Joey two
times in the chat saying that Eric Schlitt projects Jared Goff's cap hit going down,
and that would make sense, you know, with the signing. Remember
when Stafford signed that fucking insane contract with the Rams the first year, this
cap hit was like two million dollars because you got like a fifty million dollars
signing bonus. And like, Sheila's got the cheddar to do that, She's
got the bread to give him a fat signing bonus. So that, uh,
that contract, that that salary cap cap hit isn't as disgusting as we
have to worry about. But uh, Nick, you got something to say.
Oh we got a phone call? Yeah, I was signing call her.
Who do we got? We got Nova G from Alabama? Nova Your
Life? Nova G from Alabama Nova. How are you feeling? What?
Good? Y'all? I'm feeling good man and so breaking up a little bit.
So I'm gonna say my words and try not to take up too much
time. Alabama Natives or Alabama grew up Michigan native went to the University of
West point. So what the Germanys know about that triple option? Oh yeah,
let the Germans know about that triple service. But they know all about
that trip a lots. Uh don't know nothing about that, man. I've
been on the shows all of today and I see a lot of similarities between
the way that Stick talks about Jamo Easy talks about golf, and Neil talks
about Michigan. It's like they don't want them to do well, but if
they do well, they give them their props kind of in a call it
a back handed way. It's a back handed compliment, you know. Like
I watch you guys live streams. I commented a couple of times like Sam
is not mad when Jamo does well, but he's not happy, and that's
the issue. I feel that's that's the same with you, too, Easy.
I don't want to attack, but I feel like you're not mad when
Jenner Golf does well because your team's are line, but you ain't happy.
I know I am happy. What do you mean? This is my favorite
team? You know, I just got this. This is my favorite team
of all sports. I mean I cried. If they want to player two
days, two days, multiple tiers like I'm I am happy. I just
I did see him as a guy revered in the light of a guy impacting
your cap space the way this contract will if they live it out like the
final years now looking at the deal, like reading it again, the last
year is an option, mean that third year is probably a lot right on
that, and it's a it's a flexible contract. They're able to if it's
not shaken within the first two years. And Hooker looks like something crazy,
they could they can make that choice. It's very similar to what Gino Smith
and Daniel Jones did. It's just a higher value because he made then MC
Conference championship game. And I was, yeah, I was right there with
you too. Either. I didn't think they would go above the fifty million
dollar dollar limit. I did. I really did not think they go over
that. However, I think that what they gave him contract wise was what
he already gave us, Like he gave us two playoff wins, Like he's
getting paid for what he did, not for what he's about to do.
Like if he went to super for us, we pay him and just let
him retire and eat off of Michigan Land for for life, you know,
like he already he's getting paid for what he already did, which is what
no other quarterback has he done. Facts. No, we appreciate you.
Thank you for your service. Sir, go west Point, Go Army,
go west Point, go live. I appreciate you. Appreciate your service.
It is awesome. Yeah, ask the Germans about the fucking triple option next
time. Next time you try to talk about army football, motherfuckers, Flannel
Gentry KG Lindsey. That's the Germans about the triple option. That's the Japanese
about the triple re You give the Japanese a pretty hard double option back in
the day. I'll tell you that. Well, we do gotta go to
break he wrong with you. Hey, Swiss urns guys the best of the

but we don't give a five because Jared Goff just got paid the richest contract
in Lions history. Four years, two hundred and twelve million dollars one hundred
and seventy million, fully guaranteed. Your quarterback got his bag. Now to
go with your first team All Pro receiver and your first team All Pro tackle.
The Trio got paid. Amen. Ah, I was gonna say,
I can see it in your eyes, he said, amen. And like
I said, every time I've said this contract, every time I said,
you know my Jared Goff switched me from a hater to a fan based on
what he did last year. You guys saw me, I know all you
were in here for the postgame shows. I was in tears because of that.
Man. I was saying, he's the best quarterback in franchise history.
Now he is the richest quarterback in franchise history. And this contract. Say
what you want about his play. I don't give a shit about yards.
I don't give a shit about completion percentage, QBR, touchdowns, interceptions.
I care about winning the fucking super Bowl. So if you win the super
Bowl, it is a fantastic contract. If you lose or you don't win
the super Bowl, it's not a good contract, flat out, bottom line,
line in the sand. That's all that matters anymore. People, These
these playoff wins, these cute stories, these thirty year droughts, none of
that matters anymore. Super Bowl is the only thing that matters. Winning the
super Bowl is the only thing that matters for the Detroit Lions, and they're
gonna do it next year. And with that being said, keep that same
energy. Keep that I mean, and you're my boy, but you included
right they fall short of that super Bowl, it's a failure. Keep that
same energy. No more dick hugging, no more dick riding. If they
fall short of it, hold the people accountable. Yes, be real,
body, take the step back. I can see what's different about this team.
That's winning in your team, that's not if it doesn't happen that it
is. That's all I'm asking for. Nick, got two callers. What's
just signal one? Number one behind door number one? Hi. Number one
is Chris aka big boy from Illinois. Your lives boy, Chris, how
are you feeling, brother? What's good y'all? What up? Chris?
Hey, it's just another It's just Brad Holmes cooking one one more time.
Really, I think you know, Brad Holmes. They put out these big
numbers on these contracts, but when you dive into the contracts, you see
real quick, and they're gonna be a team friendly deal. I think what
they're gonna do is they're gonna pay that first year signing bonus probably forty two
point five million, and then he's gonna get forty two point five a year
the next three years, and then that puts you at that one seventy guaranteed.
They're basically giving them a raise. I think this year and so that
team option is gonna be that final year for forty three million and twenty eight
I think, And so I think this is gonna be a lot better team
friendly deal than we think. I think on the surface, that number is
really big, but once you get into it, just like the Saint Brown
contract, you see, it's not that bad as far as the hit is
gonna be. And so I think I think it's just another Holmes masterclass.
I think they're basically give him a raise for this year. It'll probably be
all signing bonus. I think when it takes down, it's gonna be right
there with Mahomes, who's at about forty three to six, and so you
gotta remember she's done a contract this year. So if they just if they
just give him a twelve point five million dollar raise on that contract, it's
not gonna be as big of a hit as it sounds like it's gonna be,
uh you want, It's gonna be right near Mahomes at forty three to
six, and it's gonna be a lot more team friendly than it sounds like
when you hear that two hundred and ten million dollar number. I would agree
with that phenomenal point. Chris Chris, appreciate you calling in. Shout out
to you, brother, and it makes a very very good point that this
isn't the same old Lions. This isn't your whore grandmother's Lions anymore. This
is the brand news. They spend money too. I mean, the old
Lions spend money, but they spent stupid money. These Lions, they spend
smart money. They spend it on the right guys. They spend it on
their guys. So instead of going out and signing Trey Flowers to come in
here and change your defense and bogging him down with all this money you signed,
guys, you drafted, you cultivated to good contracts that don't nip you
in the ass. I wait, assume obviously we don't know. We're gonna
have to see all the details first. Yeah, but I gotta feel like
what he said is correct. They're gonna frontload that fucking signing bonus for Jared
Goff, and you're gonna see a very very friendly salary cap number for the
years on this contract. I agree. And that's phenomenal point by Chris.
I mean, that's kind of what I was trying to get to a little
bit earlier. But Honestly, I think Chris articulated better than myself, Like
that's this is a team for the deal with that option that it makes things
a lot more flexible for the Detra Lions, And that was that's where I
wanted to be comfortable. Wise, the money AAV and may total that fifty
three million, but as Chris said, this first year fatloaded, do it
all and in the next two years make it more reasonable. Find out what
you need to tweak, find out what you need to add. Is more
than just like adding the pieces that the pieces you draft, the pieces you
acquired. No, it's also just structuring those deals within ways you continue to
add more if you need to, and continue to sign the guys that keep
doing well. It's structured the same way as I just said, we pull
up the Eagles who seemingly just never run out of money. But you look
at these deals AAV, I mean certain years not AAV, but like Jalen
Hurts for instance, another fifty million dollars contract AAV. However this year when
I say fourteen million, yep on the cap Like as long as you're structuring
them in a way like that, then you're good. Yeah, cap doesn't
or I mean, AAV doesn't matter guaranteed, But the only number that actually
matters is that cap pit. Yes, is that salary cap pit? Because
that imports how much you can spend on other players. So if that cap
hit is good, then it doesn't matter. And I have a very strong
feeling that they're not going to be handcuffed by the cap pit. I think
it's going to be a good a good number spread across these four years.
What was the guys? I say, as far by this comment, I
don't remember what it was. Golf would have signed for a one dollar easy,
would be worried about it, right. I don't know why I read
that stupid shit like that. Shout out Gramma two three seven? He says,
Wait, Mema was a whore? Why Mema? Because I said,
this is your whore Grandma's And we got another caller out of the lion.
Yeah let's kick Yeah, I did too, Let's kick it. Behind door
Number two is Eric Alan Eric on air, Eric Allen, Eric, how
you feeling, brother? Can you hear it's Eric from Austin? Eric?
Damn it, Nick, It's Eric from Austin. Eric? How you from?
Eric? Doing really great? It's great talking to you guys, I
can't even believe I even made it on this on your call. But anyways,
you know, uh, my friend of mine live in Austin and we've
been Lion spans our whole lives and we have fifty to one hundred people that
go to game watches at a local bar here. It's awesome. So we're
totally excited about Jared Goff. This is just awesome. Well, we're excited
about all our players on our team. But I don't mean to like go
into a different situation, but what do you think this means for Hendon Hooker?
It's kind of like what this means for him? Does this mean that
he's if Jared Goff wins Super Bowls for us? Is he get traded?
Does he does? Is he just going to be there just in case?
Does he want to be a backup for a lot of years? What do
you what are you guys thoughts on that? Yeah, Eric, it's a
great question. That is a great question because you would think that a third
round pick wouldn't be used on a guy you see as a backup. That
would be a pretty reasonable thought process. But as right now, Hendon Hooker
is break glass in case of emergency. He is the Nick Foles contingency plan.
To Jared Goffs, Carson Wentz like, this is a guy that in
case of the worst possible scenari now you got handed Hooker there. That's how
I see it. That's exactly how I see it. I mean, obviously
it is an option, you know, if you're offered enough for it.
I don't think it's anything they're actively looking to do is move on from minute
Hooker. I see him as, uh, exactly what space is, break
class, break glass in case of emergency, because I can see him doing
this offense really really well too. I could see him helping this team win.
I think that's obviously why Brad Holmes drafted him too, that they believe
leaving him as well. But uh, I think the offer would have to
be not necessarily a godfather offer, but something where you're truly the beneficiary from
it. You know, there is no need to get rid of him at
this point. You're not paying him much, and he's a phenomenal backup to
have, or I guess I expect him to be a phenomenal backup. We
have got to see him take an actual snap this preseason. We'll find out
what is your pay on that. We still got Eric? Yeah we got
him. Yeah sounds good to me. It's very staticky, but yes,
hey man, thanks guys, no problem, man, Hey you hundred Lions
fans, hundred Lions fans got together and also text. We're gonna have to

I had an epiphany at this boat dispensary. That did not mean that
the rhyme, but it truly happened while we're on one of these remote locations
over there in Hazel Park, and I was looking at a lot of these
contracts Patrick Mahomes, Jalen Hurts, and the big one that was the eye
opener for me was that we know Josh Allen signed where he signed a few
years ago. He's looking at some of his cat pits in the last couple
of years. There weren't astronomically crazy up until this coming year, and that's
why he's trying to see him shedding a little bit of I'm gonna called dead
wake. Beau is still letting good players. For them to have ever retained
these guys wow, still those first two years though they were able to do
so. That's what this contract structed, like fifty three aav as Chris seventy
called him from Chicago or Illinois wherever you may have been, brilliant point to
make. Probably gonna fat love this year two years spread out, that fourth
year being the option. And the reason why the number doesn't matter at that
point is we are succeeding well right now. And I have a graphic to
kind of point towards that, Chris. It's the PFF I believe touchdowns versus
the Blitz. To twenty twenty one, our guy Jared Goff ranks second in
the league since twenty twenty one in touchdowns versus Blitz. And this is a
point I got tagged this multiple times by that way better than Patrick Mahomes insane
that anybody would. I mean, people just listen and they hear. They
don't listen, actually just hear, but they hear what they think, what
they I've been discussing this specifically for the past year, specifically Jared Goff has
this offense down like the back of his hand. We've used more X rated
terms before, but he's married to the beautiful young lady now, but he
knows this offense like his wife, like the front of his wife. All
right, Ben Johnson, one of the things that makes him a brilliant head
coach and any leader really is just like the accountability you put on your supportins
the people beneath you, or Jared Goff in the situation, you put accountability
in him because he helped design this offense. Hey, I sat down with
you. I asked you, as a quarterback, who's been the super as
a quarterback, whos seen success? The quarterback is won games? What has
helped you get there? What has helped you stay a vote? What has
been your weakness? Is okay, watch your film. I agree with this.
I agree with that, and they, you know, combined together to
make this playbook that helps JG play phenomenon. Now. First year, you
saw the change just in him getting in the offense and get his hands involved
with it. Dave Briquette, I believe it was after the Steelers or Eagles
game that Ben john star get a bit more heavily involved in the second year
after the offseason of it, you saw even a better version year though last
year, I argue, and because I'm not a big numbers guy, you
guys pulling numbers of the interceptions and say what you want, I think last
year was his best year as detroit lyon in my opinion, just as his
command of the offense. He knows what these guys are. That's quarterback who
once didn't do well against the blitz. That's quarterback where you hear things about
him not doing good against the blitz. But these past two years where he's
had this offense down pack, that hasn't been the case. And the numbers
show us. But he's number two in the league. Is two out of
twenty one against that blitz with throwing touchdowns. Yeah, this is a guy
who this will be the first time in his career that he's had the same
offensive coordinator and same quarterback coach for three straight seasons. Continuity and cohesion is
extremely important for an offense, and Jared Goff, Ben Johnson and Mark Brunell
have been together now going on three seasons. Like you said, he knows
this offense like the front of Kristin Harp. He knows this offense like the
back of his hand. It is something he's extremely comfortable in. And not
only having that, He's got his number one target in first team All Pro
amanas Saint Brown. He's got the best offensive line in football in front of
him that's going to be even better when it comes to protecting the quarterback next
year. He's got tight end top five tight end in Sam Laporta coming in
to a second season where he's going to have a breakout. He's got an
explosive weapon in Jamison Williams that he's finally finding cohesion with and finding a place
for in the offense. He's got the best backfield in the NFL behind him
in David Montgomery and Jamier Gibbs. This is an offense set up to make
Jared Goff the man, and he has been the man in this offense.
He got paid like the man and he's going to win the game. I'm
happy for this. I'm excited for what this offense has done and produced,
and a big part of it is the cohesion. Like I said, the
first time in his career, the first time in his NFL career that he's
had the same offensive coordinate and quarterback coach for three straight seasons and there is
not a surprise of why the offense is humming. Nick. Yeah, do
you guys remember after that Rams playoff game, specifically the players in that locker
room, and how hype they were for specifically Jared Goff because they knew how
much it meant to them. This is their leader, undoubted, like no
doubt in the world. This is the guy they want leading this team to
the super Bowl, and they have one hundred percent faith in this guy.
This is just it's crazy. I mean, like you just said, Spendmo
three years of the same oc Like this offense is gonna look so dangerous because
Jared Goff knows it so well. Like good luck to any defense scheming up
and trying to stop this offense, because I don't think it's happening. I
think this is a top three offense without a doubt, maybe even the best.
Yeah, No, I think it's it's gonna be the best or second
best offense in the league next year, because I think Houston might have a
chance of being the best. But you look at it, he is so
comfort in this scheme, so comfortable with the play calling of Ben Johnson and
with the playmakers he has on the outside, it makes him being a good
quarterback to being an even better quarterback when the pieces around you have you playing
like this. And the man went out there any ball last year, flat
out went out there and played like one of the best quarterbacks in the NFL.
So I'm happy that he got locked up. I'm happy Ben Johnson stayed.
I'm happy they paid Amen ross Aint Brown, they paid Penney Sewell,
they paid Jared Goff, the three pillars that are holding up this offense.
Yeah, this just shows a team wide commitment. Like everybody top down to
bottom in this organization is committed. You talked about Ben Johnson staying, Jared
Goff signing the extension. I'm and Rob Pennay like, there was never any
doubt outside of Ben Johnson that these guys were going to be here in Detroit
this season. And I think that really speaks to the culture that they're building.
And again it shows you, I said it with the Penney and nomen
Rock extensions, it's the same thing with Goff. Detroit is showing that,
Hey, look we are in the business of winning, so sometimes we have
to make hard to say sometimes we have to trade players. We like cut
players, we like all of that. But if you work hard, you
will get paid here. And this is a city that loves its football like
nobody's ever seen. We saw the records from the draft, So this is
this is just awesome because it really is a just cementing the culture that's being
built. It would have it would have looked a little it would have looked
a little funny if they, you know, dumped golf a little early.
Listen, man, it's the best of both worlds, truly. Like if
you're a guy who was your friends in your group called you the hater,
if you're the guy in the group that was just kind of realistic about the
situation going down, like you have your option Detroit Lions that there's a there's
a there's a fourth year option on this deal and which more than likely means
again they want to be flexible. It's just it's such smart gamesmanship by Brad
Holmes, not even gamesmanship, but just being a general manager and just making
these these moves where you're able to be flexible. The aman Rad deal,
the penn a Stool deal. That's why I think it's made point to and
I think I said this beforehand too, But I think that's why they may
point to this being a frontloaded contract, clear clearing the space for that deal.
I mean, you obviously think all things. You're trying to figure out
what the motive is. But that makes sense. It also makes sense for
the team moving forward. I mean, part of the reason we brought that
stat JG second in the league touchdowns rust being blitched. We brought it up
already. Ben John's a very big piece of that. Now, if we
lose Ben Johnson, we don't even know what we're getting. Hey, this
deals flexible, Yes, you know, if you find out that it's it
was Ben Johnson, we can make a move. That's why it's a great
deal for all parties. JG got paid, JG remains, and you're flexible
for the future if Ben Jonson decides to leave. All right, we got
some callers on the board. We're gonna get to some of them, now,
Nick, who do we got? Yep, we're gonna lead it off
with Ronan ninety nine out in the Lancing run in. How are you feeling,
brother, I'm doing well, guys. The caller who mentioned the static,
that's a cap because I meant cap because it is kind of staticky,
but we'll be all right, listen. I think that there's a central truth
that we're all kind of forgetting, or the people who are wigging out over
the amount of this contract. And that's the simple fact that, remember it
went up thirty two million dollars this year, what do you think it's going
to look like in three to four years? And the other thing, the
other thing about the contract is that was this an extension or did they fold
this next year into that contract? I think this is extension off of I
think this year's included because it's all only up to twenty twenty eight. Like
when the Amedaraan Pinay Soool stuff went down, there was like that next year.
It made it feel like a six year extension. I think this one's
just straight like including this year some of the money, and then you have
the option for twenty twenty eight. It's four years twenty twenty four right now.
I think it's a straight up, like regular extension. Nothing beyond I
got's nothing added to if that makes sense. I don't think I think I'm
missing okay, right well, I would I'd expect this to add some void
gears on there and that and and here's the other guy you gotta get flowers
to today is Disney. You know what Mike has done in terms of stacking
these contracts and understanding capology twenty twenty four, I think makes who one of
the key members of this team. And remember he got an offer to go
somewhere else as well. So when you start stacking these people up. Of
the guys who want to stay, there's a reason that they want to stay.
And it's got nothing to do with same alliance. This has to do
with a competent professional organization being run by competent professional people the first time in
my sixty seven years. My guys, that's for sure. Rnyan, appreciate
you so much, man, great call, appreciate your support as always,
and thanks for calling. Uh yeah, it's he made such a good point
there at the end, and it's like, I know, we'd shout out
Foxy for establishing the brand new Lions as a thing and like it was cool,
but people don't really like know that were not joking when we say there
are competent people in the front office For the first time in my entire life.
The Detroit Lions are being run like a good organization for the first time
in my entire life. My dad, he's seventy plus years old, tells
me the same exact thing, like, he's never seen the Detroit Lions act
like this. This is how the Pistons used to act. Obviously not anymore.
This is how the Red Wings act, This is how the Tigers.
He's never seen the Lions act like a competent franchise. And now we have
the right people in the right spots. It all starts at the top with
Shila ford Hamp doing what she does and creating this Lions regime from the ground
up and doing a fantastic job at it. So hats off to Shila ford
Hamp for creating this beautiful work of art that is the Detroit Lions front office.
Who else we got, Nick? We are going out to Orlando,
boys. We got at WARDO at warda Yo, what's up guys? So
listen right. So I was, contrary to popular belief, I was on
Team Tag Golf next year only because we play eight outdoor games next year.
But that's besides the point. We know what we're gonna get with Goth.
We're gonna get goof for three games, you know what I mean. And
that's fine because no one's going seventeen and now you know. And for me,
what's the most important is what are you doing when the moment is at
the brightest. You know, we go, we go to in Kansas City.
Obviously, we end up winning that game, and a big part of
it was because golf showed up. We two years ago we should we have
to go to Green Bay to not come out of the playoffs. And guess
what we do. Golf showed up, you know what I mean, in
the Rams game. Golf showed up in the in the Bucks game, GoF
showed up in the San Francisco game. We did not lose that game because
of golf, contrary to what the chap believes. And that's the number one
thing that I look for is what are you doing when the moment shines brightness?
Unlike Lamar Jackson, And I just have one question for you guys,
because I've been thinking about this. Do you guys think that this offense is
more talented than the offense that he took to the super Bowl in like twenty
eighteen or whenever that Super Bowl was. I think moving forward, Yeah,
I don't know, I think with the offensive line provided with Jumior Gibbs,
with Dave Montgomery and Am Brown, like, I think, yeah, you
can make there. I mean, I didn't even say Sam Laporta, I
do. I do think there's a little bit more talented. I would say,
yes it is. I think they have a better offensive line. The
weapons I feel like equate because I think the greatness of Todd Gurley is is
better than like, yeah that Todd Gurley equates Jamior Gibbs and David Montgomery,
So like fair, I think the weapons are pretty similar. You might give
the lines a little bit of an edge because of Sam Laporta compared to I
don't even remember it was it Higbee and or Everett back then. I don't
even remember who their tight end was. Yeh, but the offensive line is
way better and so yeah, I would say you'd give the Lions a little
bit of an edge. The offensive line allows JG to be the best version
of himself. Like you get guy like that all day, He's able to
make it work. What do you think? Yeah, you know, I
mean to be honest, at that point in time, I didn't really watch
much football because I was all up in school but from what I can remember,
that like that offense is pretty potent, you know. And obviously i'm
Alliance biased person and I like to watch high scoring games, and we're in
high scoring games damn near every week, you know. So that lets me
know that we have a talented offense and now all we need is just a
competent defense, you know, and then we can all be wherever the super
Bowl parade is, you know, having a blast. But yeah, anyways,
thank you for taking my call, and easy try to tone it down
on the golf stuff. You know what I mean, We love you,
but you know, all right, have a good night, guys, Appreciate
your calling. And again, this is the kind of stuff I said earlier
too, is like keep to say major now because we like to say on
this show, you hears saying other plays too. Big time players make big
time plays. Yep, that's getting big time cash. He's jumping deliver those
moments, and I think he's got everything around him to do. So for
sure, it's it's super Bowl or bust for the Lions. Now, that's
what it is. That's the table you're sitting at. Like I said,
you got the playoff wins and then the division win out of the way,
you got an NFC championship appearance out of the way. It's no more cute,
nice story. Shit. Now it's if you don't win the Super Bowl.
The season was a disappointment. That's what it is every year now for
the Lions. You're with the big boys. You think the forty nine ers
are happy about their season last year. No, you think the Ravens are
happy about their season last year. No. The Chiefs probably aren't even happy
about the season last year, and they won the fucking Super Bowl, so
they're like, oh, we could have played better. But that's the table
you're sitting at now. So I'm excited and I'm ready for this new era
of Lions football. And you got, like I said, you got the
three pillars to hold this offense down, locked up for the future in Jared
goff Amara, Saint Brown and tenn A. Soo tell you about Lady James.

digitter around the show. What I'll take it? What can you pull up
the odds? Oh? Yeah, betting. I'm curiously I'm on bad.
If they changed right away, I don't think change. It wouldn't change.
I don't think it changed at all. Yeah, he's already the quarterback.
Yeah, it would have changed if it was the topic of me on the
show for today. I am curiously that with NFC north Well, I also
put in the top three backfields in the NFL because obviously we saw p f
T put it out there garbage. Before any of that, let's go to
our other callers and uh, but before we do, I remember, uh
what Eduardo said in his call about goof for a couple of games. It's
he's right, though, like every quarterback is going to give you a couple
of games like that a year where they just don't have it. That's just
that's football, Like, even Patrick Mahomes isn't three hundred yards, three touchdowns
and no interceptions every game. Every quarterback is going to give you a couple
of games. And the keys to wisdom in the woodward sports chests is nobody
gets away with a bad offensive line. Even fields with major wheels couldn't really
do crap with the trash offensive line, that's for sure. Look look at
what happened to Patrick Mahomes when they got to the Super Bowl and his offensive
line sucked. He was running for his fucking life against the Buccaneers and they
lost. That that's the super Bowl they lost because he couldn't stay in the
pocket. Uh So, yeah, every quarterback needs a good offensive line,
and every quarterback is going to give you a couple of duds a year.
It happened. Even Tom Brady did it. So last year. Jared Goff
had a great season, and I'm expecting the same from him next year.
But who's our calling? Yep, we got Matthew Krueger out in Margaritaville,
Caseville. Matthew Krueger, how you doing, brother? Hey man? Easy,
my boy? I love you too, Spencer, but we're on opposite
team. Sometimes. Anyways, I was doing my homework while I was on
hold because I didn't want to come with any bullshit or any I'm sorry,
I don't mean to swear. It's after work anyways. I want to hit
you with a stat real quick. We just paid a guy two hundred and
twelve million dollars one hundred and seventy million guaranteed who is twenty four, twenty
three and one as a Detroit Lion. Also, let's jump back. I
am the number one golf hater, but also a big Lions fan as well.
I hate golf. I hate Kate Cunningham. Go back to his Super
Bowl. Let's go back to his Super Bowl appearance. And I don't want
to hear about injuries or anything like that. Two hundred and twenty nine yards
one interception. I don't want to hear any argument about how he's been to
a Super Bowl. He has experience there. Let's start the second half real
quick. That's that's just ridiculous. And you I understand people got to catch
the ball, there was fumbles and whatnot, but at the same time,
you are the captain of that team. You take responsibility. Third third,
we're gonna go with last year. People want to say he had a great
year last season, but I understand you say, like Padden stats from Matthew
Stafford, if you go eight and eight or eight and nine and missed the
playoffs, that's not a great year. Anyways, I love you guys.
Make the bet go Lions. I still hate Goff. Maybe Headn'll get a
chance, but uh, hey, what word for life? Screw screw the
ticket and screw ninety seven to one. Damn right, boys, damn right,
Matt you appreciate you, brother picked up they hey stood on business for
sure. Yeah, I mean we all know that that Jared Goff did not
have a good performance in his Loan Super Bowl appearance. But also that was
a factor of Bill Belichick being the coach on the other side. And I
spoke about how they didn't really adapt LA's offense to what Jared Goff does well
like they have here in Detroit, Like they were still doing deep shots and
stuff like that in LA. Rather than kind of molding their offense around Jared
Goff, they tried to force Jared Goff into their offensive scheme. And that's
why they ended up moving on, which is you know, it is what
it is. But he's got. You know, he's stood on business.
He stood ten tons down. He hates Shared Goff, and he brought out
the reasons. Yeah, I mean the reason why Bill Bilicherk has success against
Jared Goffic because he's good at taken away what teams do well like he is
the best coach of all time for a reason. Jared Goff is limited.
But with the running game that we have, and let's not forget Todd Gurley
in that Super Bowl, wasn't the Todd Gurley that he wasn't in the first
half of that season. He had suffered that knee injury and he kind of
was kind of stumbling his way through those playoffs. Obviously affects Jared Goff.
I think we know by now that JG needs a reliable run game to help
him work. He is the number one play action quarterback in the league for
a reason. That's not just by I guess by a circumstance. I mean,
it is by circumstance, but it's not stupid lucky thing like that.
We've seen him be that in two different organizations. We see him need that
run game, So that is a big piece of it. But that's the
great thing about how this team is built and why you want to take a
hat off. And you know, I'm sure not Patrick Holmes on the White
House and say that to Brad Holmes is that you have two running backs and
I know as much a people are gonna want to see Jamior Gibbs take every
single snap this year, you need to even and out for a reason.
You need both these guys healthy or as healthy as they can be when it
comes to these games actually mattering, and that's in the postseason. I want
both these guys available and let me take the lesser load. As much as
as electrifying as Jamior Gibbs is, let's still split the carries. Can continue
it that way, a little even split. Let's keep these guys as healthy
as possible so we can actually make the run and complete the mission and win
that Super Bowl. Yeah, Edward O'Neil says, Cooks drop two open touchdowns
in that Super Bowl, And Yeah, to be honest, I'm not worried
about Jared Goff Super Bowl. I'm worried about the next point he's gonna play
in. Yep, I don't. I don't care about what he did in
the past. I care about what he's going to do for the Detroit Lions.
And like I said, this contract has decided. The good or bad
of this contract is decided by one thing, and that's if you win a
Super Bowl or not. So and I think they will. I really do.
So I'm excited for that stat mus is so inconsistent. I got a
lot of the over unders for the NFC if we want to come back with
that for next but uh, okay, I'm hype. Honestly, I am
extremely excited. And it's just feels so good to have a competent GM and
the Lions are the They run this city and Jared Goff runs that team like
that is their leader. Like that's what it keeps coming back to for me.
They didn't want to see their leader go out on a one year deal,
especially not at the quarterback position. And I didn't think Brad was going
to do that to his guy. So, I mean, if you're looking
at that, uh that Stafford deal, now, it's just insane what we
got back. And we just extended golf again. You know, you just
think about that deal. It might go down as one of the best in
history for both sides. Yeah, it could be very well of the best
like trade for both sides that I've ever seen. Shout out to Adam Hunt
for the for the Super Chat. But so that color needs to be medicaid.
Matthew Krueger stood on ten toes, he did for sure. But uh
yeah, that that very well could be the most even trade of all time.
But it goes like you gotta win a super Bowl because the Rams are
still up. I know, we love all the acquisitions we got and we
love the success that we had. But because of that trade, the Rams
won a super Bowl. So they won the trade as of now, as
of now, but after next year, the Lions won that trade. Or
it's fair. I mean if both teams win a super Bowl, that's a
fair trade. I mean, if I can't come for my guy, Matthew
Kruger and anyone else, it's like again in the same boat as him,
it is. It is a flexible deal, and that currently winning games with
this guy right now. They did get to the Super Bowl with Jared Goff.
However, Todd Gurley wasn't the same guy he was to get there.
Therefore Jared Goff couldn't be the same guy he was to get there as well.
I think we have we have better odds. It's playing some well with
having both Jamier and David. And as much as a Green Bay Packers fan
was called David just the guy, that's not the case. Just the guys
aren't rushing four thousand yards in the NFL. Just the guys are getting doubleed
in the touchdowns in the NFL. You can bring up any other stat you
want to before he was a Detroit Lion, And but you also remind yourself
how fucking piss poor the Chicago Bears organization was for that stint of time too.
It was very bad, very bad. They're in a position to get
the number one pick last year because they traded their number one pick the year
prior, Like it was just it wasn't a good team. And guess they
took that year down all right in the first round. Guess they took this
year in the second round another offensive tackle one out of BYU. They just
you can't really like. Dave Montgomery is good. Jamiir Gibbs is great,
Yes, Sam reporter that also helps in a run game. We don't know
what guys yet to be as a running back. I mean maybe he he
was the most explosive running back in college football last year. So what Yeah,
he averaged like seven yards per carrying like eleven yards what I mean limited
limited touches, probably gonna be pretty high. But you know he was good.
Still had like I mean, it's not like you only need two hundred
yards. I would have come exposed her her stats. He was the most
exploded he touched the ball. He's more explosive than anybody else. You pick
a chew and you push their addit per st add it up over there.
I mean when it's when it's straight yards per carry. Yeah, I'll use
those stats per context every day, over per stat I mean, we know
football year. However, he was still very good. That's pipa which he
did pull off. The enemy shout out, let's go to break. I

g your friend, tell a friend, share the stream. Got a early
mail bag from Mike Hilton. You want me read it? Yeah? How
many quarterbacks lost their first Super Bowl and went after not to mention with a
different team? Zero? Zero quarterbacks have lost theirst Superowl've been back? Really?
I think since like a at least since the certain year. I know
that for sure. Yeah. Wow, but that's circumstantial though, I think
yeah, And I think your odds go up after changing teams. Your odds
probably go up when that happens because they get paid, that contract gets reset
to you get paid. You can't fit the silling teams around. We saw
it's but again these first is the first two year window. The guys that
you've already paid on this team as well. I'm rond Saint Brown Penny school
those first two years a little bit lighter on the cap. It's probably what
this deal is for JG and have the fourth year option. This is a
this is a win win deal. It's a master class by Mike Diszern Bad
Homes. It truly is everybody wins this situation. If my guy, Matthew
Krueger, myself, the real spinny, we all went all right. The
team remains flexible and you remain winning. I've had a grown confidence and a
tanner restrand. If a Ben Johnson were to leave, and again you have
those core pieces around it, and you know what works with it regardless at
top of like making the defense, like I suspect, the defense gets a
hell of a lot better this year Tookarnick who we got. Yeah, we're
gonna kick it off with m and MJ. You're live on air, MJ.
How are you feeling? Brother? Yo? What's going on with fellas
you know hear me, yes, sir yo. So I mean I'm watching
you all on delay. I'm at work, so I'm hoping I'm not repeating
something somebody already said, but I'm gonna take it a different direction. I
like golf, but I can't say I'm happy about the deal. And the
only reason I say that is I wanted him to get an extension. I
just didn't think it would be for that long, on top of the year
that he already had left. Because if my eyes, this basically means that
Hendon Hooker is nothing. And as much as I like golf, I think
the second half of that NFG Championship show does one thing. It's the limitations
of having a pocket quarterback and not having somebody that's mobile, Like he just
couldn't get out of the pocket and escape whereas Party was able to get out
of the escape or you just all the differences. Like I'm not hating on
golf at all. I like golf and I think we can win games with
golf. I think I was just more so excited about the future of what
it would look like with Hinden Hooker, but now with with you know,
just this expansion and for as long as that, how much of e is
it basically means that Hendon Hooker is are nothing now, So I guess I'm
I guess I'm just a little bit disappointed in that. But I do still
think that we are in a winning window and Golf chain get us win.
So like so, I guess it's I'm happy about it. I'm happy that
we're still gonna win, but I'm upset that. You know, basically they
means the Hinden Hooker is is never going to play a decury. Yeah,
I appreciates calling in brother, and that's something you know. They they drafted
Hendon Hooker, I think because they weren't sure about Golf's scenario at that point
in time, and they wanted to not just be bare ass without a you
know, without a sheet if Jared Goff decided to move on, so they
needed that kind of contingency plan. But now they got more comfortable, they
saw what Golf could do. They got the deal done and they're happy for
it. And now Hendon Hooker, like we said, is it break glass
in case of emergency kind of player and he can still up turn out like
if if that class is broken then he pulled out in case of emergency,
and it happens to be what I'm with you too. By the way,
some we think could be special, then that's what you're gonna move along with
leading the way. I mean we saw with Tom Brady it wasn't an injury
situation. But actually know Alex Smith was an injury situation. Hey, Alex
Smith is just better for us right now, let's go this way. Brady
was an injury situation. No. I know I was gonna say another one
with Patrick Mahomes stuff like that, but no, if if Henders ends up
being the player best believe this Detroit Lions team just says they are at every
single position. If somebody's outperforming the other, they're gonna get the snaps over
him. Yeah. We saw it last year with first round pick Jack Campbell
not getting snaps, and then we saw the year prior with a fourth or
fifth round pick. I forgot when Malcolm was raft to this point now too
with him getting starting snaps. He actually if he got starting snaps last year
as well too over Jack Campbell to begin the season. It's they're gonna play
the best players out there, and that's that's one thing that holds true with
this team for sure. So if if the glass breaks and it works out,
it works out, which is we end up paying eat a big cap
hit because of it. But we'll be straight, all right. We got
another caller. Yep, we got Adam. Adam, you're live on air,
Adam. How are you feeling, brother? Are you feeling hey?
Hey, what's up with the guys? I'm feeling awesome. You know,
this time of year, uh, Northern Michigan up by a Cadillac command and
it's beautiful. And when the Lions are doing like this and you know,
signing quality players to secure their future, it's even that much better. I
graduated two thousand and five, and I remember the dog days of the old
sixteen and and the pain and the abusive relationship of being a Lions fan.
But getting all this and getting the reward of us being competitors now is just
second to none. And I'm stoked. I'm ready. Let's freaking go.
Amen. Oh yeah, I appreciate you calling in at him and shout out
Cadillac. My one of my my aunts us to have a cottage up there,
nice ass Lake Lake. Cadillac is very nice. Like shout out Cadillac.
But yeah, dude, it's it's a breath of fresh air seeing the
seeing the Lions perform like they have, and seeing the Lions front front office
perform like they have. Shout out, Cadillac, shout out. I get
some family out there as well. We got one more call. Are you
a color? And we're going to maybe confirmed? And not a cop,
Anakin, and you're live on the heavyway, not a cop a feeling.
I'm good hood hood, Yes, I'm not a cop. Can you hear
me? Yes? He ends up? All right, all right, I'm
gonna hood just I'm excited for the extension. I come home home and and
Golf gets an extension. Heent you there? Yeah, yeah, it's the
floor is yours, Anakin. We're we're not making a set of movements reaching
I come home, GoF gets an extension and it's not gonna lie. It's
a little more money than I I would like, but Hud, I would
I do like hip the fact that we finally got him paid and he and
now our future is said, this is all We're going all in. And
you know how Jerry said all in and guess what he meant. Brad's going
all in, Amen, Anakin, Amen, appreciate you calling in. Brother.
I'm glad to know you're not a cop. Thank you for calling.
You have to tell us that your cop. We're not right now though,
Yeah, it's true. He already hung up lost. Yeah, we couldn't
keep on the phone too long because we didn't want him, you know,
tracing the call and figuring out where we are. All of that was on
the wire though. But appreciate you calling in a can and yeah, it's
it's awesome to just uh, you know, for him to come home,
probably from from school, you know, or his shift, and he gets
off the beat and he sees that Jared Goff is extended. That's probably a
great feeling. Amen. Appreciate Anaki calling in. Appreciate everybody calling in,
man. I appreciate the guys with the balls enough to call in with the
true opinions as well, because they they be out there. Like I had
a discussion with Samir or Sammer, I always do it to him. Damn
it, that might be racism. But I had the conversation with Sammer and
uh, he's you know, talking hishit about Jay g as as most people
outside Detroit do. And I hits him the quiet place gift, like,
be quiet because THEY'RENNA. They're come for your ass if people call in and
keeping it real like, that's that's true too, Kruger, you're my guy.
A little bit of the streams. I am more. Obviously I felt
the way Kruger did once upon a time. But again with what we have,
we have like a preathrow guys. Yes, the m and David help
us out in that situation. Obviously, again, we don't know what Voky's
gonna look like either, so we're pretty good. Who else we got the
line though? Nick? Yep, we're going out to West Virginia and we're
going to Jason Jason Road. Yo, Jared, they got the bag,
my baby, Hey, what's going on? Man? Still kind of comprehending
this. I'm just feeling about the contract. Man, I'm excited. I
just called man because I was reading through the chat and I looked on Facebook
and you got a lot of disgrunt on Lions fans out there. So I
just kind of wanted to say my piece, dog because I'm pissed. Yeah,
it's crazy, bro Like. So we got a quarterback who's been to
the Super Bowl along with you know, whole roster full of studs, and
people are complaining because Jared Goff got the bag. At the end of the
day, you're not gonna, you know, think that in a couple years
when the salary cap goes up, shit like that. So I don't understand
what the problem is. I guess they wanted to throw Hindi Hooker in there,
reset our success, put golf on the tag next year, or some
dumb shit like that. But this is a great He's for us moving forward.
Now we don't have to worry about golf penay. You know, we're
good now, we can move forward. We got all the youth, we
got the whole youth movement, you know. And the guy who just called
talking about hinder Hooker is nothing. I mean, if golf declines or you
know, golf you know starts to you know, sell the bag, whatever
the case may be, you've got a Hinder Hooker you could throw in there
with a guy with Super Bowl experience, multiple playoff wins, battle tested,
you know, he's seen the best in the league. He's went toe to
toe with my homes. It's like, you know, going forward, I
don't see how anybody could be upset by this. It's always our fan base
and it's kind of frustrating because it's like you look at it and you like,
yeah, Golf ain't Mahomes or Brady or nothing like that. But he
get the job to you know, we won game away from the super Bowl.
You know, who knows if we're there with any other quarterback. Who
knows if you know another quarterback in process the playbook and all the adjustments from
being Johnson, you know. So I'm excited, man, I'm stoked.
It's facts, brother, appreciate you calling in and you're you're right, like,
it's this. This regime is big on the known. They're big on
there guys. They're big on seeing it and they saw it out of Jared
Goff and they're not going to pass up on that. So yeah, it's
uh, I appreciate you calling in, brother, is a good point and
shout out to ecl In the Wolbard Sports Chat, he says Spencer McVeigh never
trusted JG under Dan Campbell, Ben Johnson. JG has grown into more competent
or a more complete QB. He's never allowed to call protections or audible in
LA. Not the same player. He is much better now, way better.
It's true, he's more confident. You see that playing with a lot
of confidence. He does all the protections he does call the audibles. And
like I said, and how Easy alluded to it earlier about how they built
the offense structured to what he does well, and they run the offense based
on what he does well. And I said a couple of weeks ago,
I said, like in La they kind of were trying to force the round
peg into the square hole where they were trying to force Jair Golf into their
gun slinging, deep threat offense with guys like Robert Woods and Brandon Cooks instead
of kind of building it around what he does best. And that's why the
Lions have had so much success. I just think they were limited at the
time. He wasn't as good as he is right now. I don't know
they're trying to force the peg in there. He just he has his limitations.
It is what it is. But they got what they wanted. They
don't need an a one running back to operate their offense. We got what
we wanted, which is to build a true team, and we have a
team in a culture and JG is part of both those things, and both
those things have got this franchise into the NC Conference Championship game, got the
first playoff wins ploral, and over thirty two years it was a win win.
Obviously, they're up if you want to do a versus, but I
don't care. I just want to be in a winning position. We have
more callers and we'll get to when we get back, But first, that's

Smashed like smash, be a friend, Tell a friend, we got more
calls on the line. Who we got next? Nick? Yeah? Gi
me. So here we got Chad and Harrison township. Chad, you are
live on the Chad. How you feeling, Chad? Hey, work on
big dog. You guys all right? Yes, sir, how are you
man? Doing pretty good? I'm all right. Anyone gives easy a hug,
just go off contract or No? Not really, honestly, not as
much as I was expecting. Very well, yeah, I'll give I'll give
him a verbal one right now. It's gonna be okay, buddy, appreciate
when we win the super Bowl next year. When we win the super Bowl
next year, it'll be all good, I promise, amen. But who
the hell was that guy earlier that was like complaining about it? First off?
His name? Two or three of them? No, no, it
was yeah, that Matthew Krueger. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah. He
was just one of the nicest sweep possible. But fuck that guy. Yeah,
we have the best quarterback we've had, and like what the whole franchise
and you don't want to resign him? How do you feel about that?
How do you feel about the contract? Chad? Chad Savage? I mean
I like it. I mean I'm not I don't love it, but I
like it. That's wrong. Man. How do you feel about Chris Bladdy?
He's all right, I guess shout out dog cool. He's cool.
Yeah, he's kind of weird. Yeah, but I mean, eh,
sometimes, But but I really like this golf contract honestly. I mean,
he just got us to the what NFC Championship for the first time? It
is ninety one yep, mhm. Why wouldn't we pay him? I can't.
I can't think of any reason why not to pay him. So anyone
that says, oh, I don't want to pay him, they're just they
got the s O L mentality still for some reason. I don't know why,
but he proved last year it's brand new lines not s O L.
So get that mindset out of your head, because we about to win the
Super Bowl's go, let's go, Chad Man. We just got we just
got the big court. I mean, this is exactly what the Pistons thought
they were doing with the court. Chad not got a lot. No appreciate
you. Well, yeah, he's right, Like, there's a list of
reasons not to sign him were extremely low, and the rest of the list
of reasons to sign him kept growing with every win and every playoff win for
sure. The way the way I've would have done it, and and my
again, I'm not a GM obviously, and I'm not going to charge this
team, but the way I would have done it is I would have gone
to this year on that last final deal and I would have seen what I
officially had in Hindh Hooker when it comes to like actual snaps in the post
air preseason and whatnot, and I would have decided from there. That's what
I would have done. But you still win the games with this guy regardless.
He has a piece around that has helped them win games. They're also
locked and loaded Jamior gibbson the rookie contract, the first round pick with fifth
year option, gonna be here a very long time. Dave Montgomery, you
got him, and he also added to guy and this is not the end
of things either. So I think where they're in the best position to do
what they've been doing and just continue that on and again. If Hinny Hooker
does happen to flash whatever, then they can decide to do that. I
don't see this team like not making that an option. No, this is
not a team that's gonna hamstring themselves in any situation, and like I said,
we haven't gotten the details yet of this of this deal on them.
They're going to be extremely, extremely flexible because this team is all about flexibility
when it comes to their players and when it comes to their contracts and the
cap space. So would I would be extremely surprised if the cap hit is
over forty million dollars per year, Like I think it's gonna be a real
flexible, real easy cap hit to pack. One of those years will be
one of them. Yeah, probably the last year will probably be like fifty
something, but ye, probably this shar in the last year. I'm thinking
I'm not could be totally wrong. We'll see. We'll see. We got
another phone call. Nope, call in, call in. We're We've been
talking golf all day because that was the bomb dropped on us right before our
show. If you are living under a rock, Jared Goff signed a four
year extension with two hundred and twelve million dollars one hundred and seventy million of
it, guaranteed the richest contract in Detroit Lion's history. My boy texted me,
he said, you can't have lever on the thumbnail and expect me and
not take a shot. Sure we the thumbnail was before this happened, obviously,
Yeah, that's true. I mean, I guess, how do you
feel about that lottery? I don't give a fuck, dude. I'm not
gonna waste energy on the Pistons until their front office is gone. I was
pissed off the first Honestly, I wasn't pissed off that one. We're gonna
have the first pick or the last pick. This front office is gonna ruin
it either way. I was pissed off the first like fifteen to twenty minutes.
Then after just depression just because exactly what you said. It wasn't a
great year to have the number one overall pick. If it is, just
it's just undiscovered yet. And yeah, but no, we just were so
much further away from what people think we are because of what this organization has
in Tom Gors as an owner. It's just it's a complete mess. They
didn't deserve the number one overall pick despite having the worst record of league did
it. They weren't gonna do anything with it. They we're gonna do anything
beneficial with it, They just weren't. Yeah, it's one of those things
where I felt I felt bad complaining about it, because ultimately, the season
they had, like the basketball guys should not, I've rewarded them with the
number one pick, and I hate having that take, but ultimately it's fair.
I mean, look at the dysfunction that this organization ran through this year.
It does hurt, though, because you know, I've been team trade
the pick and I'm still gonna be there. But the thing with a number
one pick is you can always entice that team to be like, hey,
look you get the bell of the ball, you get your guy, whoever
that is in this draft. Whoever you want, you can get. So
that's why I wanted that number one pick was not to draft a guy.
I wanted it because you could sell that to a team like New Orleans,
to a team like Brooklyn, to maybe even a team if they're going all
the way blow it up Phoenix, like these Cleveland, like all these guys
that are star players that we want on other teams, if you offer them
a first round pick that's a lot better than the fifth overall pick, and
you know, then you start having to attach the other young guys and all
of that. So that's really that's really why it hurt, because I felt
like you could do a standalone trade package with the number one overall pick and
then pat package one of one or two of the young guys and really start
to cook with some roster movement. But we are heading viewers by the minute
talking about the Pistons because nobody gets a shit. No, you're lying.
They're going up. But we have a we have a caller, so let's
get to that. Who do we got, Nick? Yeah, we're gonna
go out to Lansing. We got Stafford, which I don't know if this
is his real name, but you're live Stafford. How are you feeling?
Brother? Pretty good man? What up though? What up? Though?
Yeah? That that golf contract, bro, I was shocked. I thought
it'd be like forty seven million, not fifty three. I'm the same.
What'd you guys think it was gonna be? Yeah? I thought I yeah
same. I thought it was gonna be anywhere from forty forty five to fifty
million, literally where I was at and then yeah, they call me down?
Was that option? That option makes it all make sense. It's a
flexible deal, definitely, definitely, And uh one thing about the Pistons.
Fire Troy Man, just fire Troy clean house That's one thing I hope they
do. I hope they fire on everybody there the entire Yeah, tell him
is the guy wanted out the most. I feel like Troy's a bit of
a fall guy, but he also sucks at the trade. So yeah,
how do you feel about the golf content? Still in shock? It sounds
like, yeah, yeah, just shock, but happy kind of too because
it kind of shows up the quarterback spot for a while. Quarterbacks the number
one of the biggest position on the field. So right or die Now,
it's all about brother. Appreciate. When I first said, his reaction was
my reaction. I was like, Yeah, let's go win that Super Bowl.
I guess we have more caller we do. Gotta go to break though.
We'll get back to him and we'll get to your mailbag questions in the

Papa E out in San Fran, close us out, Papa E.
How you feeling it? Man? I was feeling good. What's going on
with y'all? Man? Listen? Check it out? Number one? We
just built a culture, right, We build stability, and we built the
foundation, all right. You feel the fire our line, he got the
best offensive line and they near the defensive line in football, which is the
they ain't near the most important. That's the that's the you know, sticky
nose in the ground. You know what I'm saying, because that's first the
whole play on both sides. We just solidified our quarterback. He ain't going
nowhere and he's not like you know he's he's because we got that line.
He's not going to get hurt or nothing like that, you know, more
like you know, like hopefully. But I'm saying, like with that line,
ain'tybody touching him? Is what I'm trying to say. All right,
lock that in. We got two dope running backs and that's not going to
change. And we just made the line better for them to open that open
that gap up like Noah like like uh like mostes do that. How he
parted that, you feel me? Then we got arm and raw out there.
He doesn't drop balls. He's a yat guy and he's consistent and that's
the thing. We got consistency. Now on defense, we got the corners.
See the draft was on my birthday. Ye shot of me out too.
I saw he's normally on my back. There was a good draft,
you feel me. We solidified corners and we we we we dotted the i's
and cross the t's. You know what I'm saying. We make sure you
got everything we need to get done. I keep telling you because I'm from
Grand Rapids, you know what I'm saying. I just live out here.
Now, I've been out here for a while, but I keep telling these
people in San Francisco, we can't wait to see you. We're gonna beat
y'all behind. All right, it's not the same. You're not getting away
with what you guys did. Shout out to y'all. You feel me with
