Oh that music is rolling. That means the Chicago Bears are on the clock.
That means on this Thursday, April the twenty fifth, the Detroit City
is on the clock. Hi there, Happy NFL Draft Day. I'm Dennis
Fithian in Formatt Shepherd Day two on Access and Brows on the Michigan Sports Network.
It's my pleasure to be here. Fenzos is on all the ones and
twos and answering your calls and looking at your text and we're fired up.
This is one of those days that you wait for annually all year long,
and here it is. Happy NFL Draft Day. Hopefully I'm the first one.
Yeah, maybe you never know. Hopefully I'm the first one to welcome
you in to NFL Draft Day. That's the big news as we get this
show underway. Not only is at the NFL Draft, but it is taking
place right here in the state at Michigan, in Detroit City and everyone seemingly
has converged on the Motor City and is doing a show down there. And
it is great. And that's great to have a teeming city with the bright
lights and everybody looking at Detroit and talking of it with the NFL Draft going
on the Lions sitting with the number twenty nine pick. But I I'm gonna
say it at the beginning here, just like you know, all of the
years that we have spent watching and talking about the Detroit Lions. Today around
these parts was always deemed dubbed the Lions super Bowl, and it was not
said and enduring terms. It was said because when the regular season started there
was no chance for the Detroit Lions. And sure, you know every season,
you know, you have optimism, and then it would happen. However
it would happen, it would happen with the Detroit Lions. You'd come crashing
down to earth. Sometimes in the very first game, you think about,
what was it the DeAndre Swift the Lions are right there. They threw a
touchdown to him in the corner and he dropped it. I mean there's been
I could sit here for the next three hours and talking about that. But
no, that is just a setup for today. We knew that the Lions
draft was or the NFL Draft was happening in the city, and like,
oh, well, this will be the Lions super Bowl. The Lions had
a super Bowl. They've had two super Bowls in Detroit, but no,
their super Bowl was happening with the draft, and it just so happens that
they have turned this thing around. No, they're not going to be one
of the first teams picking. We don't think they're gonna be one of the
last teams picking, because they were one of the last four teams standing.
Now the idea is to get there, into that big game and then ultimately
win it. And for years, even saying that, I still feel it
feels a little weird. I'm getting more used to it. But if I
was sitting here in this seat two, three, five, ten, fifteen,
twenty years ago and was talking about Super Bowl, I would say it
like you Jim Morrow would say, practice or playoffs? Allen iverson practice,
we're talking about Lions the super Bowl. Then, in fact, Lions would
draft a rookie and inevitably he'd go down there and one of them would say,
well, we're gonna We're going to the super Bowl. You know you'd
stand there and say, all right, you know a young kid, great
optimist, you don't know you know anybody. You just looked at him and
said you'll find out pretty soon. But guys that had been around and then
they would say it, you'd have to say, come on, now,
let's let's talk about winning the NFC Central the North before you start talking about
how about winning a playoff game, playoff game? And then they went out
there and what night playoff game last year in the greatest game of my lifetime,
beating the Rams, most entertaining game, and best game, most exciting
game, most energizing game. It was everything beating the Rams. I say
everything it was, you know, with the Super Bowl it felt like it
and then it was validated and say, yeah, well, what about the
Cowboys when that was just as big? Well it was, but then you
know they lost the next week. This time around, they actually went out
validated a little bit more by beating the Box. And then I don't know
if the think they validated it by having the big lead in the first half
against the forty nine ers. That's another story. So that's the headline with
this morning. As you make your way and get ready for the draft tonight,
let's take a look at what else is happening in the world of sports.
Most of the air is about the oxygen being taken up, is no
doubt going to be about the draft. But the Tigers, they were in
action last night, and they had taken the first two games on the road.
They were finishing up their six game road trip down in Tampa at the
trop and the Tigers play an entertaining game and a seesaw affair with the race,
only to fall to Tampa seven to five. Now, sweeps are difficult
in Major League Baseball. The hard to come by, even if you're a
really bad team. I don't know, maybe the White Sox, that's pretty
easy. It's pretty easy to say, hey, we're gonna we expect to
broom of the White Sox. You expect to take two out of three or
three out of four against the White Sox or you'll be disappointed. But sweeps
are difficult, and the Rays are generally a pretty good team, even though
they're payroll is in the basement annually in Major League Baseball, they still find
a way. But the Tigers overall now is they're off today. They have
a successful road trip. They go four and two on the trip. That
is a very positive for this team and this Tigers team, and it has
happened since opening day against in their first series. They are playing very close
games. They are playing one run games, two run games. Last night,
a two run game. I counted it up at the conclusion of last
night's game. The Tigers have now played twenty five games. They are fourteen
and eleven, and fifteen of those twenty five games the margin has been two
runs or less. Like last night they lost by two runs. Fifteen twenty
five. That's something that stands out early on in the season. And we
are just in the beginning of this season as the Tigers now come home tomorrow
for a six game homestand when they will take on the Royals and the Cards,
So they will be entertaining the state of Missouri for the next six games
with the Cardinals and then the Royals, and the Royals actually in front of
the Tigers in the standings, which is pretty interesting. You think that about
KC. But again it is early. No you get that around here.
If you're a Tigers fan, if you're old enough, you know about that
forty game mark that Sparky always talked about. Hey wouldn't have any how's Sparky,
how you doing it? Let's wait to forty games. But in nineteen
eighty four the Tigers got out to a thirty five and five start, so
that forty game mark resonates with people. And also for Sparky, let's tip
our cap to him. It's been forty years nineteen eighty four since the Tigers
won the World Series. So the forty game mark, that's the first time
you really judge him. According to Sparky, you had that thirty five and
five start at eighty four and it's been forty years. All right, we'll
get jump to date on the NHL and NBA playoffs. We're talking a lot
about the draft and oh yeah, the big news last night happened even though
the draft was going on, that the Lions ink two of their best to
gigantic deals. Money well spent. We'll explore that straight ahead here on x'es

NHL Playoffs another over time add one last night, had one the night before
Anzi Kopatar evening things up La Edmonton. That was late last night. Welcome
in here on ex'es and Bros. And the Michigan Sports Network. I'm Dennis
fifthe in here Day two, happy NFL Draft. We are going to talk
about the Lions inking their two best players to gigantic deals coming up here in
one minute. I do want to put a question out there for you.
What do you think the Lions championship window is? How long will it last?
That plays right into Sewel and the Sun God getting their big deals.
You can get in on that at eight six six eight three eight four eight
four to three on the Meyer Hotline. You can text sports Radio to twenty
one thousand on that topic or anything. It's open for you. If something
else with the NFL Draft, let's hit on the other playoff games just to
get job to speed, just a case they're like, hey, what else
is going on there? There's some good games last night in the playoffs,
the defending Stanley Cup champions v g K, the Vegas Golden Knights. They
just go down the Big d and they beat Dallas. They're up two to
oh in the series. They won three to one last night. And then
the Boston Bruins they double up the Toronto Maple Leafs to take a two to
one series lead for to two the final there for the Bruins. Brad Marshan
with the winner for the Bruins. And I say it like that because he's
my least favorite NHL player currently, Brad Marshan. I'm not a violent person.
I don't condone fighting, but and I don't even know how if I
could stand up on skates right now, but I'd like to take a run
at Brad Marshan. Meanwhile, in the NBA playoffs, the shocker of the
night took place in Beantown as the Celtics. Everyone's like, the Celtics are
gonna breeze right through the Eastern Conference. No problems especially with the Heat,
the Zombie Heat without their leader, and no problem as the Miami Heat beat
the Boston Celtics one to eleven, one oh one, no, Jimmy Butler,
I know, you know that. It's just you gotta say it.
So that series is tied at one. That's already a dub for the Miami
Heat, Sands Butler in that series. And then the Thunder the number one
seed out West. No close game this time with the Pelicans. They pound
the Pels one ninety two, take a two to zero series lead. There
games tonight. We know that the NFL Draft. You probably know that it's
starting at eight with the Bears on the clock. What do they They mess
around for about five to ten minutes and everyone's like, let's get it going.
We waited all year, you know, and then they're like, yeah,
they're gonna milk it a little bit. And then they'll put the Bears
on the clock at like eight point fifteen. Their pick probably comes in at
eight thirty. When is the Lions pick gonna take place at midnight? But
there's some basketball to watch it the meantime. Tonight is definitely a two to
three TV type setup. You've got the Cabs and the Magic with the Cleveland
Cavaliers up two oh in that series, and then the Knicks and seventy six
ers in that memorable second game with the furious comeback by the Nicks and New
York leads it too. Oh. Now they'll be in Philly tonight seven thirty
jump and then late tonight ten o'clock you've got the Nuggets, the NBA defending
champs. That was a member game too that they won with Jamal Murray hitting
that jumper overround the right wing and falling into the stands with the camera.
It was great highlight of the NBA playoffs so far. They'll play the Lakers
in La tonight at ten o'clock, so some late night action there. Meanwhile,
in the NHL there's also a pair of games Florida and Tampa, the
series shifting there to Tampa Bay, with Florida up to oh and then Carolina
heading into New York up to OH. And of all those games, I've
been watching Carolina and the New York Islanders all right, So not a huge
surprise. There's been a lot of talk if you follow the Lions that they
were looking to extend and get big time contracts to Amna Saint Brown, Pina
Sual, and Jared Goff. Well they get two of those three done.
First up was the sun God four year deal more than one hundred and twenty
million seventy seven guaranteed for the Sun Gods. That makes them the highest paid
wide receiver in the NFL. And my thoughts on that is that this is
good timing by the Lions. You knew you had to pay a monoras A
Brown, you knew you had to get them an extension. You've got Justin
Jefferson out there, and you got Chase for the Bengals, and those two
are seeing who's gonna blink they want to. You know, they're looking for
not only the they'll get. They'll they'll easily go past Amnora Saint Brown,
but they're looking to go past each other. And you know they agents of
those two are just going to rock out these gigantic deals and then soon Amano
Saint Brown will be sitting there looking up at those two and then you know
that's how it works. But this was something that we knew was going to
happen, It was inevitable, and the Lions signed Brown. They should have
signed him, and there's no argument the other way. The same thing goes
with All Pro offensive tackle today. Sewell, you get a tackle that is
an All Pro that you drafted, that is worth its weight in gold.
So yeah, you are going to pay him if you're going to pay anyone
four years, one twelve on his extension, and he is the highest paid
offensive lineman in the NFL, and he gets eighty five million dollars guaranteed.
And this was inevitable. It's a little bit you like, get that new
car. Are you get in that new car? Your friends are checking it
out every time you get in. You're like, oh man, this smells
nice, drives nice. You're driving around, and then at the end of
the month that payment hits, and that's yours answer. You're like, now
you're like ooh, You're like, you know what, you know that it's
gonna happen. You know you gotta do it. But that does bring up
the question of the Lions championship window and how long it will last, because
at some point you know you're paying. You got the highest paid tackle,
you get the highest paid wide receiver. And now Jared Goff Adam Schefter.
Yesterday, when all of this was going on with the Lions getting their wide
receiver and their right tackle too extensions, Schefter comes out and there says there's
no deal imminent for Jared Goff. Everybody's like, hey, stop here,
full stop. What do you mean, It's just a guy that we chant
has name everywhere at the grocery store. They'll be chanting Jared Goff's name all
night tonight. A, you're telling me that there's no deal imminent for Jared
Goff despite the fact that Amana Saint Brown and Penay Sewell now have landed new
record breaking deals. What's going on there? Schefter says, the Lions and
Golf have spoken about a new deal this offseason, but no deal is close
at this time. That means nothing to me. I mean, it could
mean something to you, and it's nice for a schefter to, you know,
get a bunch of retweets and everything else. But Jared Goff, what
that number is going to be, whatever it ends up happening, however,
that you're going to finagle that. You know, Jared Goff is going to
get that deal. The twenty nine year old. I'm going to talk about
what I think that Lion's championship window is coming up straight ahead and right here,
right now, it's just the greatest NFL draft all time. On tap,
we'll talk about the goat straight ahead Exis and Bros. Michigan Sports Network

Text that to twenty one thousand, Sports Radio to twenty one thousand,
or you dial up that hotline at eight six six eight three eight four eight
four three. I'm also going to talk about why this is the goat of
all NFL drafts this segment, but the Lions Championship window. If you immediately
just said ten years, that's it, I think that's gonna be. That's
a big window. That as a big window. And last year I did
not expect the Lions to get to the precipice of the Super Bowl. I
did not expect them to get to the NFC Championship game and be up on
the forty nine ers and look super and then melt out on the second half
and not get there. So they took this. It was a gigantic step.
Didn't think that they were gonna win the Central like most other people,
but I didn't win. If you have a home playoff game, win it.
They had to play Matt Stafford and they got it done. And then
whether it was a break or not, you know, I wanted the Cowboys.
We saw the Lions beat the Cowboys and then get robbed by the officials,
and that would have been nice payback for the Lions going down and beating
the Cowboys. For a lot of reasons. That the shenanigans that happened with
the two point conversion the last time, what was that twenty fourteen were the
referees. And I'm not generally speaking someone who points to the referees and said,
oh, they screwed us, but us being Detroit in that playoff game
down in Dallas. If you just were casually you met me, I like
say, down at the draft tonight and you came home and said, hey,
Dennis, what are the three worst screw jobs by the officials and the
history of sports? I'd say the Lions at twenty fourteen down there in Dallas
where they had the new rule with a face guarding and it was like the
definition of it. And then also you had what was his name, Dez
Bryant with his helmet off out of the hash marks, screaming in the officials.
It's also an automatic flag. Neither of those things were called. Oh
yeah, the Lions had the ball with under two minutes to go on a
time out their pocket, they weren't able to win. They put it out
a fourth and one, which I agreed with because the defense was playing so
well. But nobody else did, especially after the fact that they didn't make
it. So all of those things, but yeah, that was the screwjob.
What else goes in there? It was before my time, but the
seventy two Olympics, there's a number of boxing gold medals that I could go
to and talk about. But the USA basketball team against Russia has to be
there. You watch the replays of that or if it whatever, out of
the actual replay of the game, but you just see that it's front and
center. They just kept giving the ball back. How many times did they
do it? Four or five times? They just kept giving it back.
Dug Collins I believe, was on that team, the former Pistons coach.
His son now the head basketball coach at Northwestern. But yeah, the USA
got screwed in that game, all right. So no, not ten years,
but it opened up last year and now it is wide open. I
like, this thing is wide open. But you got to look at the
Lions, and then you also have to look at their conference, and then
I also think you need to look at the North, the NFC North,
and all of those things play into it. I would put the forty nine
ers number one in the in the NFC, but I'm gonna put the Detroit
Lions right there on their tail, along with the Eagles, Packers, and
Cowboys. However you want to mix it, you want to try to throw
the Rams in there, all right, you can go ahead and do that.
I know Lions only beat them by a point last year, but they
did beat them, and the Lions did split with the Packers. They should
have beat the Cowboys and the Eagles. They look like they're they were having
this conversation about their championship window two years ago and they're like, Oh,
you kidding, Jalen Hurts. Look at all this offensive and defensive line we're
in business for. We're gonna be in business for ten years. There's that
ten year window again. And last year it looked like that window. Who
that window. There's your lesson. That window could look like it's going to
be open for ten years and then he can slam on your fingers quickly.
Or you could be like Dallas Cowboy fans who always think their championship window is
open and actually it's painted shut. They get over there, they're like,
oh, this window and they're actually, oh wait, that window is actually
shut and it's stuck shut. We just looked at it and thought it was
open. But as long as the Lions have this current setup of Golf and
Sewell and Brown, who they just took care of, and the biggest thing
that they have going for them, the Detroit Lions, if you say they're
superpower. It is their offensive line. As long as they continue to have
whether it's the best certainly one of the best offensive lines in all of football,
they're gonna be there. They're gonna be in with a chance. Now
it's a lot easier. This is the discussion that happens every day, non
draft day, talking about how to win. And what does everyone say,
Well, they say it's all about the quarterbacks. And I agree with that.
And that's why when you get to the draft and you look towards tonight
and how they will be overdrafted, and I do think that there's going to
be six quarterbacks drafted, and these gms will sit around and they'll look at
these windows and they'll say, well, we want Patrick Mahomes, we want
our Josh Allen, we want our Lamar Jackson. This is what we want
about our CJ. Stroud. I mean, that's what they're looking for.
You get one of those guys Joe Burrow. Oh, when you get a
difference maker quarterback, your super Bowl window seemingly is open for as long as
those guys are in their prime. Nobody's going to argue that the Chief's super
Bowl window is going to be as long as Patrick Mahomes is playing. I
think the same thing with the Bills, Bengals, Ravens and Texans. Now
I know it's only been one year, but you know Stroud was that good.
The weird one is the forty nine ers. They were going for Trey
Lance at number three for their difference maker and they ended up getting mister Irrelevant
over there. But it's working for them, So how about that? Different
ways to find your quarterback? All right? What's the Lions championship window?
How long will it last? X'es and bros? Michigan Sports Network eight six
six eight three eight forty eight forty three. That is the Meyer hotline.
Let's go to is it? Kegan in Kalamazoo? What's up? Hey?
A going? Hey? How's it going? Thanks for having men? Yeah?
What's going on out there at Kazu? Hey? Not much. I
was supposed to be at the draft. I've overhead to work right now.
But no, I think the I think the Lions window realistically is as long
as they have Jared Goff there. I think they'll do a great job putting
talent around him. Kind of like you stated, as long as you have
your guy like a C. J. Strau A josh Alamar Jackson. Your
windows open as long as they're there. It's just interesting to see how long
this contract will be for him or how long to lock him up. Yeah,
you know, I know this sounds like I'm on the Internet or I'm
on Twitter, But as long as Holmes keeps cooking in the draft, I
would also think that that's going to be part of this window. If he
can go out there and he can continue to pull in the kind of players
that he has, liking a Modera Saint Brown in the fourth row, you
know, get the best tight end of the second round. The pick a
an all pro tackle. When you get the chance, when you when you
have your pick, make it count. As long as Holmes continues to do
this, I would say that that championship that's almost obvious, but sometimes we
need to state the obvious. If he continues to do what he's doing.
Yeah, quarterback, it's a hendon hooker. We don't know what they think
of him, but it's not like they're going to go and say, well,
let's just play hardball with golf and we're just going to look for another
quarterback. Because they they do have a championship window. To your point,
you know, oh yeah, definitely, and I mean looking for another quarterback
should be possibility. But I think they're definitely have a lot of faith in
Hendon Hooker. But I have faith to lock him up for at least four
to five years and we'll keep this thing open for a few. Yeah,
he's twenty nine years old golf, so and you know you can get those
you sign him to a five year deal, but then you look at it
and in two or three years you can get out of it where it's until
you can get another QB in there. So sign him to the five year
do you get yourself where Yeah, it's gonna be pretty bad, but not
super bad after two years and then more palatable if you need to get out
of it after three. That looks like it's the direction, higin. How
could you you You said you were supposed to go to the draft, but
now you're heading to work. I mean that sounds like the ultimate and then
kind of a Debbie downer. Yeah, you know, just priority and just
I'll be able to say the home comfort and watch the draft. I had
a bunch of guy who's going out there for a bachelor party, so they'll
be enjoying it to nails, be enjoying it from the comper of my own
home. Wow, now you come over the top with a bachelor Not only
not only were you going now you're going to work, but you were going
with a bachelor party. Wow, that's nice. Yeah, yeah, just
a friends of a friend. Basically I wasn't a part of their bachelor party.
They graciously invited me, but unfortunately this wasn't able to make it.
Yeah, I hear you. And now you know life sometimes intersection there we
all can't just you know, I jumping a limo drive across the state with
a million fans at a bachelor party while the NFL drafts going on. Wow,
all right, man, have a great morning, Thanks for dialing in.
That's how it's done. As we talk about the Lions championship window and
how long it'll last, that's right, Golf, you're gonna get him to
that five year deal, but really a two three years where then you can
look to another QB if you could find one, and then he gets all
of that money. There's a spot whatever it ends up being. You wanna
say, you're gonna be forty five million a year, it's closer to fifty.
I'm not gonna argue with you there. Whatever it ends up being,
he's got to be. I wouldn't. I don't think he's gonna they can
ask. I don't think his agent is gonna be say, okay, here's
my home steal. We want more than him. There's a nice number to
be had for golf. But he knows this is the spot for him.
He knows that the Lions will give him those those two three years of that
guaranteed money once again, to get one hundred and fifty million guaranteed. I
know it's always sounds really like, what's the difference between one fifty and one
sixty out of ten million? That's the difference that ability to get in via
the text? Is you Tech Sports Radio to twenty one thousand. I like
taking your text on the draft open topics as we talk about what's transpiring tonight
in Detroit. How about a bachelor party and the NFL Draft. Wow,
I can just imagine said if it's if it's taking off from Grand Rapis And
I said it might not be, but you know, you get the party
boss across the state staying people that were looking to the hotels. You know,
they get the casinos there walking distance to the draft, and then you're
not just doing it today, but you're doing it for the entire weekend.
That's nice, you know, it's underscore nice there. But right here,
right now, this is the greatest NFL draft of all time. And over
forty years ago it started the reason that this one is. And there's no
argument about locally this not being the greatest draft. It's in Detroit, first
time ever. The Lions, who every year looked at this day as their
super Bowl, and then now they went to the NFC Championship game and here
they are their best season almost ever. They've completely flipped things around and have
everybody with a big smile on their face, and now they're hosting this event.
The weather looks like it's going to be just fine for tonight. Everything
has set up where this is the greatest NFL Draft all time locally for sure,
but nationally. You have six quarterbacks that I believe will be taken in
the first round. You can argue that, but my argument nobody is going
to argue with the fact that there is going to be three taken right out
of the gate, and maybe four with McCarthy, and then there's going to
be another two taken in the teens. When you think about Michael Pennix and
now maybe in the mix for Nicks, maybe he falls to the twenties,
just like maybe McCarthy falls to the teens. But those are the six qbs
and these gms. If they were listening today and we're talking about championship draft
windows, all of these teams have the qbs in place. The Chiefs,
the Bills will go over them again, Bengals, Ravens, who else Dixon's
over in the AFC. If we wanted to talk who else there and extend
it, you might talk about Trevor Lawrence and the Jags, or Tua in
the Dolphins, although you know, I'm not putting them in the conversation of
a championship window right now. But with the Lions and their very division,
as we look at it, what we saw with unfortunately, I say unfortunately,
because they are there, Nemesis, the Green Bay Packers with Jordan Love,
they look like they may I don't know. Am I ready to say
he is a bona fide star quarterback. I'm very close to that. He
really in the second half of the season came out. They have to see
it one more year. But yeah, I mean he's right there. I'm
putting him. If I'm a Packer fan, I'm giddy. And they they
put it together. They get a very young team and then you know,
Love looked the part and then they wanted the playoffs. I mean, what
else do you do want to say except let's wait for one more year.
That is the only thing you can say. But the Eagles with Hurts have
their cute quarterback. The forty nine ers are the interesting one because, uh,
you know, Purty's a little bit of a lightning rod. And that
is why you might talk about the Rams being in that championship window because of
one Matt Stafford who's sitting there, and we saw what he was able to
do last year. And they got one of the top coaches as well.
So you know, I put the Rams just a little bit on the outside
of the forty nine Ers, Lions, Eagles, and Backers. I put
them there at the Cowboys, even though I was just racking on the Cowboys.
All right, I'm gonna I've got more on this draft and just why
this first round and just why tonight I think is you know when I said
the greatest, most entertaining NFL Draft as we lead up to it, and
we'll get an idea on what the Lions will do. So all of that
at pick number twenty nine if that's where they stay. I'm Dennis Fifthian.
