We don't need a bunch of cats 5 00:00:27.760 --> 00:00:31.399 in here looking in the mirror. But I look good. I got my 6 00:00:31.440 --> 00:00:35.280 extra bands on, I got my other shoes. Be a doll. We 7 00:00:35.320 --> 00:00:38.920 don't need no mouns. We don't need no cats. We need more dolls. 8 00:00:39.240 --> 00:00:42.840 Why you're not at the time, Oh, you're not at the time. 9 00:00:43.759 --> 00:00:46.240 We weren't good. There's no sense of asking me things about the game. 10 00:00:46.240 --> 00:00:48.600 I'm telling you we laid an egg. So I'm not gonna break it 11 00:00:48.640 --> 00:00:52.920 down for you. He sucks. He sucked. He laid an egg. 12 00:00:53.640 --> 00:00:55.759 That's all I have to say. Guys, I'm sorry. I'm not gonna 13 00:00:55.759 --> 00:00:58.920 break it down for you. Nothing went well for us. It's on us. 14 00:00:59.039 --> 00:01:02.399 We have to figure it out, and we went. It's show dad, 15 00:01:03.759 --> 00:01:07.680 it is showtime. As we get into the eight o'clock hour, Dennis 16 00:01:07.680 --> 00:01:12.359 fifteen in four, Bett Shepherd here on X's and Rose on the Michigan Sports 17 00:01:12.400 --> 00:01:15.599 Network. I want to hear from you. I'm asking you about the Tigers 18 00:01:15.760 --> 00:01:22.519 as they come home after an unsuccessful trip, a road trip to the Bronx 19 00:01:22.599 --> 00:01:26.680 and to Cleveland where they were just able to pick up one or just yeah, 20 00:01:26.879 --> 00:01:29.959 picked up one win. You got that one right. We're getting your 21 00:01:29.959 --> 00:01:34.120 feeling on the Tigers so far, and how do you feel about the rest 22 00:01:34.159 --> 00:01:38.719 of the year eight six six How do you feel about the team for the 23 00:01:38.760 --> 00:01:42.040 rest of the year eight six six, eight three, eight four, eight 24 00:01:42.079 --> 00:01:46.799 four to three on the Meyer Hotline again, that is eight sixty six, 25 00:01:47.680 --> 00:01:52.000 eight three, eight four, eight four three. We're checking the texts. 26 00:01:52.640 --> 00:01:57.959 You can get involved there Tech Sports Radio to twenty one thousand, and we'll 27 00:01:57.959 --> 00:02:00.000 see what you have to say now before we go to the phones and get 28 00:02:00.079 --> 00:02:05.879 to the techs. Last night you had the Rangers in overtime over the Canes 29 00:02:05.959 --> 00:02:09.319 three to two, three to zero series lead there for the Blue Shirts, 30 00:02:09.319 --> 00:02:15.280 who are seven to zero the playoffs. Dallas evens up their series with Colorado 31 00:02:15.199 --> 00:02:22.599 two better than the Abs five to three for the Stars who got up fo 32 00:02:22.800 --> 00:02:27.080 nothing and hung on for the five to three win. And then Cleveland in 33 00:02:27.319 --> 00:02:32.280 a shocker, they beat the Celtics by twenty four points to even up that 34 00:02:32.560 --> 00:02:38.719 series at one, and also Dallas and OKC is now tied at one with 35 00:02:38.240 --> 00:02:45.919 Luka Doncents limping around and putting up twenty nine to ten and seven. A 36 00:02:46.000 --> 00:02:52.960 couple things here locally mentioned the Tigers going to be in action. Dan Campbell, 37 00:02:53.120 --> 00:03:00.000 the Lions head coach, is going to miss rookie camp for personal reasons. 38 00:03:00.080 --> 00:03:06.840 Have right now personal reasons. Dan Campbell gonna miss rookie camp. My 39 00:03:06.919 --> 00:03:10.199 thoughts there. I hope everything is okay with Dan Campbell, not like he 40 00:03:10.240 --> 00:03:15.159 has needed at rookie camp. And when you see personal issues, hey, 41 00:03:15.919 --> 00:03:19.439 hopefully he has a hangnail and or you know, I don't know. You 42 00:03:19.479 --> 00:03:23.159 know, the best case scenario there is that it's not that big of a 43 00:03:23.159 --> 00:03:29.439 deal and you know he'll be back and up and running in no time. 44 00:03:29.759 --> 00:03:31.319 All right, So you got the numbers out there, you get the Tigers 45 00:03:31.400 --> 00:03:37.319 question. Also, I ranked Jared Goff, I had him at number twelve. 46 00:03:37.639 --> 00:03:42.400 Is that just preposterous? I mean, what's an acceptable ranking for you? 47 00:03:42.439 --> 00:03:45.520 And without going through all of them, you know the guys that I 48 00:03:45.560 --> 00:03:51.680 put in front of golf in a dack, Trevor, Lawrence, Stafford, 49 00:03:52.560 --> 00:03:58.560 Herbert and Love the last few. Are you wanting to push Jared Goff all 50 00:03:58.560 --> 00:04:01.280 the way up to like seven? I think that's where he deserves to be 51 00:04:01.360 --> 00:04:04.599 after the kind of season he had last year and the position that he is 52 00:04:04.639 --> 00:04:10.840 in this year with a team around him. The cap number, everything you 53 00:04:10.840 --> 00:04:15.519 you involve as you're ranking these guys again eight six six eight three eight forty 54 00:04:15.560 --> 00:04:19.000 eight forty three. On the Meyer Hotline, let's go to the phones. 55 00:04:19.079 --> 00:04:24.839 Here is Freddy who joins us on exes and bros. Hey, Freddy, 56 00:04:26.439 --> 00:04:29.240 good morning, Dennis. How are you, sir? Oh? It's Good's 57 00:04:29.240 --> 00:04:32.120 good here. Good to hear your voice. You too, buddy. I 58 00:04:32.160 --> 00:04:36.319 wanted to touch on the Lions and Tigers. I sent to the text about 59 00:04:36.360 --> 00:04:40.319 the Lions. I'm glad you didn't read it because I hit son too fast 60 00:04:40.839 --> 00:04:44.600 and I didn't word it right. And we all we all do that, 61 00:04:44.680 --> 00:04:50.480 I think once in a while, So real quick on the NBA, I 62 00:04:50.600 --> 00:04:54.079 got I gotta be honest. I don't think I'm in the minority year. 63 00:04:54.279 --> 00:04:57.040 You know, when when you're Lias, or excuse me, when you're Tigers, 64 00:04:57.079 --> 00:05:00.839 Pistons and red Wings suck for ten years decade, you know you tend 65 00:05:00.839 --> 00:05:05.920 to tune out watching other other teams other games because because you know, your 66 00:05:05.920 --> 00:05:11.160 teams just suck and that's just that's just the nature of the beast. And 67 00:05:11.439 --> 00:05:16.319 last night I tuned into Dallas, Oklahoma City number one. What a scene 68 00:05:16.319 --> 00:05:20.040 in Oklahoma City. Everyone wearing the blue shirts. What a great scene, 69 00:05:20.519 --> 00:05:24.519 except that one guy who had a red shirt on. I mean, he's 70 00:05:24.560 --> 00:05:29.040 stuck out like a store thumb. Did he Yeah, Oh that one I 71 00:05:29.079 --> 00:05:31.519 missed. But I you know, I I have to. I have to 72 00:05:31.560 --> 00:05:38.360 admit this. I really have never seen Luca Dodgers playing the game. I've 73 00:05:38.360 --> 00:05:41.839 seen the highlights and everything, and I just thought, man, this guy 74 00:05:41.920 --> 00:05:46.560 has my body. He is he's he's Larry Bird. He's he's my Larry 75 00:05:46.600 --> 00:05:49.639 Bird. I Larry Bird has always been my favorite player in the NBA ever 76 00:05:49.759 --> 00:05:54.480 and and Jordan, But uh, he's my Larry Bird. It was awesome 77 00:05:54.480 --> 00:05:57.519 to watching me day. I watch him about ten fifty mans. I couldn't 78 00:05:57.519 --> 00:06:02.959 watch anymore because it was the Pistons and I just was kind of neat. 79 00:06:02.959 --> 00:06:04.959 Dennis. I just wanted to I just wanted to bring that out. I 80 00:06:04.959 --> 00:06:08.759 don't think I'm in the minority. When your team suck, it's hard to 81 00:06:08.800 --> 00:06:11.839 watch other teams. I mean, I know the NFL doesn't have that problem, 82 00:06:12.120 --> 00:06:15.800 but the other three sports leagues I think has that problem. But all 83 00:06:15.920 --> 00:06:20.800 right, the Lions and the Tigers. Now, I know it's popular nowadays. 84 00:06:20.839 --> 00:06:25.079 You can't have an opinion, you know. I know there's a lot 85 00:06:25.079 --> 00:06:28.879 of guys in the media, you know, And I'm not pointing anyone out. 86 00:06:29.199 --> 00:06:31.839 Some people work with teams and they can't have an opinion. It's just 87 00:06:32.079 --> 00:06:38.000 I don't think there's anything wrong with opinions. And uh, and I'm not 88 00:06:38.279 --> 00:06:42.959 saying anything toward you. I'm not saying this is just my opinion, you 89 00:06:43.000 --> 00:06:47.759 know. One with the Lions, this Jared Golf situation, I don't think 90 00:06:47.759 --> 00:06:53.560 the fans chanting Jared Golf. This is just my opinion. I don't think 91 00:06:53.560 --> 00:06:58.000 he's helped there. I don't think they're helping Jared Golf sign long term here. 92 00:06:58.079 --> 00:07:01.279 I think what Brad Holmes did yesterday, in my opinion, was very 93 00:07:01.319 --> 00:07:05.680 smart. He got out in front of this is the first time he's got 94 00:07:05.720 --> 00:07:10.839 out in front of this and said, hey, of course he deserves extension, 95 00:07:11.279 --> 00:07:14.240 and we want to sign an extension. It just hasn't worked out yet. 96 00:07:14.839 --> 00:07:18.040 So what that tells me. And what in my opinion, what Brad 97 00:07:18.040 --> 00:07:21.319 Holmes is saying, Well, listen, we offered a forty two forty three 98 00:07:21.360 --> 00:07:26.040 million, he wants fifty to fifty five million. That's just my opinion. 99 00:07:26.319 --> 00:07:29.720 I don't have no no, I don't know anything, and I just think 100 00:07:29.879 --> 00:07:33.920 he's getting it out there, and for some reason Golf doesn't want to sign 101 00:07:34.040 --> 00:07:40.959 Nats. The Lions ends up looking good through this because then the fans what 102 00:07:41.120 --> 00:07:44.480 fans do, they'll turn on, they'll turn on the player. That's just 103 00:07:44.720 --> 00:07:48.279 that's that's just what they're gonna do. So that's kind of my take on 104 00:07:48.399 --> 00:07:54.920 it. I wouldn't I sent the text in about two years guaranteed. Yeah, 105 00:07:54.920 --> 00:07:58.079 to addition to what he's making this year. This is that's what I 106 00:07:58.120 --> 00:08:00.920 would do. Donnis. I wouldn't give him a five year, one hundred 107 00:08:00.959 --> 00:08:07.040 and fifty the two hundred million dollars because listen, Jared Goff is a good 108 00:08:07.120 --> 00:08:13.279 dude, he's a good quarterback. I just think his situation, Dennis, 109 00:08:13.439 --> 00:08:18.120 if they give him that kind of contract and he doesn't win here where he 110 00:08:18.199 --> 00:08:20.759 told a couple of picks, fans took a turn on him really quick. 111 00:08:20.800 --> 00:08:26.040 Dennis that's just that's kind of my take on golf. So if we don't 112 00:08:26.079 --> 00:08:28.639 have time for the Tigers, that's fine. But what do you think about 113 00:08:28.680 --> 00:08:31.840 my take? What the situation with brand Holmes yesterday? Yeah, well, 114 00:08:31.919 --> 00:08:35.919 I think you're right. I don't know if he's kicking the can down the 115 00:08:35.960 --> 00:08:39.720 road a little bit where if they want to look at Hooker to feel like, 116 00:08:39.039 --> 00:08:43.000 you know, the comfort level where they can they can at least take 117 00:08:43.000 --> 00:08:46.559 a look at him. I know they got the rookie camp first before OTAs, 118 00:08:46.639 --> 00:08:48.879 but you know what else could it be if if Golf and his agent 119 00:08:50.000 --> 00:08:52.080 loved the deal, or they even like the deal, they say, okay, 120 00:08:52.159 --> 00:08:56.000 let's just get it done. So you know the line. But I 121 00:08:56.039 --> 00:09:03.279 don't think it's that far apart where they can't find a deal before the season. 122 00:09:03.159 --> 00:09:07.440 Is it the worst thing Freddy in the world. If the Lions went 123 00:09:07.440 --> 00:09:13.720 into having Jared Goff at thirty two million next year and then decided, look, 124 00:09:13.720 --> 00:09:18.480 we can always sign him after that and if he has the good season, 125 00:09:18.799 --> 00:09:22.320 well then you know he'll deserve thee they fifty million or whatever it would 126 00:09:22.320 --> 00:09:26.639 be. By then they hedge their bet and the downside would just be a 127 00:09:26.679 --> 00:09:31.200 lot of negativity from the from the fans and the media about oh the you 128 00:09:31.200 --> 00:09:37.639 know, they're ruining this franchise tag and everything else. But there is that 129 00:09:37.720 --> 00:09:43.600 option that's there. It's not the worst thing Holmes. But in my opinion, 130 00:09:43.919 --> 00:09:48.200 Grad Holmes and Dan Campbell can't do anything wrong in this down they walk 131 00:09:48.279 --> 00:09:52.399 on water. There's no way they can lose this Jared Golf situation if they 132 00:09:52.440 --> 00:09:56.559 don't sign them. They people worship those two of this town. And I 133 00:09:56.559 --> 00:10:00.840 think Brad Holmes was genius what he did yesterday. I don't think they want 134 00:10:00.879 --> 00:10:03.480 to give him that much money. And listen, I think Jared god is 135 00:10:03.480 --> 00:10:07.000 a good, doing, good quarterback. But I you could, you could, 136 00:10:07.679 --> 00:10:11.200 I don't. I'll say it's all blue in the face. There is 137 00:10:11.279 --> 00:10:15.080 not another situation in this in this in this league where he can be as 138 00:10:15.080 --> 00:10:18.360 productive as he is right now. This is a petty for him. He 139 00:10:18.440 --> 00:10:20.600 knows. Yeah, I love it. We're right up against it. I'm 140 00:10:20.600 --> 00:10:24.399 going to come back and hit on that. Who's who's walking on water? 141 00:10:24.519 --> 00:10:28.840 More? Is it the quarterback? Is that the GM is at the coach 142 00:10:28.919 --> 00:10:33.080 and who will sink the fastest. We'll get to that. EXAs and Bros. 143 00:10:33.279 --> 00:10:41.840 On the Michigan Sports Network in the Dan with Dan Dickerson's Hey Tiger's Fans. 144 00:10:41.840 --> 00:10:46.200 A new baseball season means a new season on Michigan's favorite island destination, 145 00:10:46.559 --> 00:10:50.360 Mackinawe Island, Baseball Spring and Mackinaw Island.

Aj hitch sarks all the time about the need for hitters 149 00:11:03.080 --> 00:11:05.480 to be timed up for the fastball. Good lineups are full of players who 150 00:11:05.480 --> 00:11:09.039 can hit the fastball and get the ball in the air. The Tigers haven't 151 00:11:09.039 --> 00:11:13.840 had a good offense for years because year after year they do not hit fastballs. 152 00:11:13.159 --> 00:11:16.240 The offense this year is still bottom five, but there are some signs 153 00:11:16.279 --> 00:11:20.320 it could be a lot better this summer. The Tigers are getting the ball 154 00:11:20.399 --> 00:11:22.919 in the air with the sixth best hard hit rates, and they're hitting the 155 00:11:22.960 --> 00:11:28.519 fastball. They bring fourth against fastballs. This offense has struggled most of the 156 00:11:28.600 --> 00:11:31.720 year, but the Tigers have scored eleven runs twice in the last ten days 157 00:11:31.720 --> 00:11:52.159 and maybe just maybe things are about to turn.

Will read some of those texts coming 171 00:13:11.480 --> 00:13:16.480 up. Shortly. Also coming up at eight thirty six, how college football 172 00:13:16.480 --> 00:13:22.159 will look this upcoming season. I've got some thoughts and I'll give them to 173 00:13:22.200 --> 00:13:24.000 you. I want to address a couple of things. You know, last 174 00:13:24.000 --> 00:13:33.240 segment we ended where the question of Brad Holmes and Dan Campbell walking on water 175 00:13:33.519 --> 00:13:39.080 in this town, Jared Goff seemingly walking on water as well, with his 176 00:13:39.200 --> 00:13:45.000 name being chanted. Who would sink first? Well, the quarterback is gonna 177 00:13:45.000 --> 00:13:54.159 sink first and that situation, Holmes last, and then Campbell the the I 178 00:13:54.159 --> 00:14:00.960 would say the funny part because it's not funny, but the second half of 179 00:14:01.000 --> 00:14:09.679 the meltdown for the Lions, which quarterback, receivers, running back, the 180 00:14:09.720 --> 00:14:16.600 defense, the all of the important pieces for the Detroit Lions, every one 181 00:14:16.639 --> 00:14:20.480 of them melted out, including the head coach and the offensive coordinator, all 182 00:14:20.559 --> 00:14:24.440 of them. I mean, it was a total and complete meltdown, as 183 00:14:24.480 --> 00:14:33.080 you know, and so is fantastic of a season the Lions had last year. 184 00:14:35.039 --> 00:14:39.279 There were a couple of weeks after the NFC Championship game where people were 185 00:14:41.159 --> 00:14:43.000 giving it to Dan Campbell, and some of it rightfully. So I mean, 186 00:14:45.279 --> 00:14:50.960 if you have a way that you're coaching and it's off the beaten path. 187 00:14:52.279 --> 00:14:56.879 And you go that route and you win, you are a genius. 188 00:14:56.919 --> 00:14:58.960 But if you go that route and it doesn't work, you're going to deserve 189 00:15:00.080 --> 00:15:05.919 some criticism. And he took some Alliance fans. You know, they fired 190 00:15:05.000 --> 00:15:11.360 back, and I think, you know that's understandable to give them some some 191 00:15:11.639 --> 00:15:16.720 rope there. That's one of those things that when it comes to sports, 192 00:15:16.759 --> 00:15:22.240 I hear coaches say sometimes when they do something out of the ordinary that doesn't 193 00:15:22.279 --> 00:15:24.159 work. And he said, well, if it, you know, it 194 00:15:24.240 --> 00:15:28.480 did work, you know you guys would all be praising me. Well, 195 00:15:28.480 --> 00:15:31.360 that's right. That's sports, and that's why we're giving it to you. 196 00:15:31.639 --> 00:15:35.039 If you go off and it doesn't work. I never liked the Yeah, 197 00:15:35.080 --> 00:15:45.360 we understand that. We understand that, coaches, So all right, the 198 00:15:45.519 --> 00:15:56.440 feel for the Tigers. They're sitting here coming home nineteen and eighteen, this 199 00:15:56.639 --> 00:16:03.320 is I feel luke warm of this team that is pegged for five hundred. 200 00:16:04.200 --> 00:16:10.120 How are you feeling about that? Let's get ben Zos involved here. He's 201 00:16:10.120 --> 00:16:14.240 looking at the TECs. That's right. We got a couple about golf. 202 00:16:15.240 --> 00:16:19.799 Suggestion for the golf contract. Give him a three year deal forty million first 203 00:16:19.879 --> 00:16:25.840 year forty five, the second. These two years are guaranteed, third year 204 00:16:26.000 --> 00:16:33.559 fifty but it's an opt out year for both player and the team. Well 205 00:16:33.840 --> 00:16:40.440 that's nice, that sounds nice, But the Jared Goff's agent is is not 206 00:16:40.519 --> 00:16:42.200 signing that kind of deal. So maybe that's where we're you know, like 207 00:16:42.600 --> 00:16:47.320 the fans, I haven't heard, at least yet, I haven't heard a 208 00:16:47.320 --> 00:16:49.559 fan say, yeah, you know what, you got to give him a 209 00:16:49.799 --> 00:16:56.120 market value and he is going to get one hundred and fifty million guaranteed, 210 00:16:56.200 --> 00:17:00.720 he's going to get close to fifty million dollars a year, and he's going 211 00:17:00.759 --> 00:17:04.960 to sign a five year deal that looks like two hundred and fifty three hundred 212 00:17:06.000 --> 00:17:08.480 million dollars. I haven't heard anybody say that that's what he's that's the kind 213 00:17:08.480 --> 00:17:14.920 of deal that he's going to get. And maybe that's where we're sitting here, 214 00:17:15.039 --> 00:17:22.960 where your Brad Holmes and if he is trying to do what fans think 215 00:17:23.039 --> 00:17:30.799 that he should do and get a very reasonable it's weird to say lowball, 216 00:17:30.359 --> 00:17:36.880 but compared to what other quarterbacks are getting. He will not sign a deal. 217 00:17:37.599 --> 00:17:42.319 He will go into the upcoming season playing on the last year of his 218 00:17:42.440 --> 00:17:47.599 deal. If those are the kind of contract numbers that the Lions are saying, 219 00:17:47.759 --> 00:17:51.359 yeah, tag it or leave it. That's where we're at right now 220 00:17:52.519 --> 00:17:56.839 in Holmes yesterday saying yeah, you've earned an extension. Yeah, but here's 221 00:17:56.880 --> 00:18:02.359 the numbers. It's a high priority. It's a high priority. Yeah, 222 00:18:02.440 --> 00:18:10.319 we'd like you to sign this real team friendly deal for these two years and 223 00:18:10.400 --> 00:18:12.759 then we can we can get out of it, or are we gonna just 224 00:18:12.799 --> 00:18:18.200 come back and you know, slap one more season on it. It's it's 225 00:18:18.200 --> 00:18:22.720 not gonna work that way. But the Lions do have you know, the 226 00:18:22.799 --> 00:18:29.640 Lions do have the leverage here. Certainly, they they don't have much of 227 00:18:29.680 --> 00:18:34.039 a backup plan when it's just unknown when it comes down to Hendon Hooker, 228 00:18:34.079 --> 00:18:40.279 and you'd be sitting here with a team that is is ready to compete in 229 00:18:40.319 --> 00:18:42.680 a window for the Super Bowl, and you could be thinking, wow, 230 00:18:45.119 --> 00:18:52.480 we're playing games with a quarterback. But you go into this next year and 231 00:18:53.920 --> 00:18:59.279 you want it to go well for Jared Goff, he's gonna earn a little 232 00:18:59.279 --> 00:19:02.920 bit more money. But you can also put that tag on them. The 233 00:19:03.039 --> 00:19:10.200 chances that the Lions would put the franchise tag on Jared Goff, as I 234 00:19:10.279 --> 00:19:18.839 sit here on May the tenth and think it out, because Holmes has done 235 00:19:19.000 --> 00:19:26.680 things in his time here that doesn't fall in line with what the fans want, 236 00:19:26.920 --> 00:19:30.559 what the fans think, what the experts want, or what the experts 237 00:19:30.599 --> 00:19:37.799 think. I still think there's a chance that that is could be the direction 238 00:19:37.920 --> 00:19:41.880 that he would go. But I think it's so you have to put that 239 00:19:41.000 --> 00:19:45.200 at least in there anybody that comes out. I know, it's a the 240 00:19:45.240 --> 00:19:51.160 way things go. Certainly, if you're running a talk show to say absolutely 241 00:19:51.200 --> 00:19:56.440 there's no way that the Lions will go into next year without having a golf 242 00:19:56.559 --> 00:19:59.519 sign of extension. There's zero chance. Well no, there's more than a 243 00:19:59.640 --> 00:20:04.279 zero ch chance. You're just saying that I had somebody who is uh has 244 00:20:04.319 --> 00:20:07.640 an opportunity, it has a mic in front of him. But I would 245 00:20:07.680 --> 00:20:15.880 put it at a ten chance. Remember this is the same GM they say 246 00:20:15.880 --> 00:20:19.279 you can't take a running back, you're not taking tight ends and running backs 247 00:20:19.319 --> 00:20:25.039 and mintal linebackers. And then he did, and then he came out, 248 00:20:25.559 --> 00:20:29.279 came out of the draft and was like, Yeah, this is what we 249 00:20:29.319 --> 00:20:33.680 did, this is who we are. Maybe uh, maybe after next year, 250 00:20:33.799 --> 00:20:37.759 you know, he'll go in and talk about contract year or something. 251 00:20:37.960 --> 00:20:44.680 He'll wear a shirt talking about Brad Holmes. All right, looking ahead to 252 00:20:45.279 --> 00:20:48.920 college football in the twenty twenty four season, Just how will it look. 253 00:20:49.960 --> 00:20:53.559 We'll get to that coming up at eight thirty five.

We're 275 00:23:00.759 --> 00:23:07.480 also talking about the Lions and Jared Goff. You had Brad Holmes yesterday saying 276 00:23:07.559 --> 00:23:15.160 that golf has earned an extension and it's a high priority, and he said 277 00:23:15.200 --> 00:23:18.720 they would have liked to have had it done already, along with Sewel in 278 00:23:18.799 --> 00:23:22.960 Saint Brown. You know, however, you can parse those words. You 279 00:23:23.000 --> 00:23:26.880 can do whatever you want. You could say, sure, he's earned an 280 00:23:26.880 --> 00:23:37.079 extension to our liking, Yeah, here's a four year extension at forty forty 281 00:23:37.119 --> 00:23:44.160 five and kind of spoon feeding it and Golf's agents like, no, that's 282 00:23:44.200 --> 00:23:48.440 going to have to be closer to fifty and we're going to need one hundred 283 00:23:48.440 --> 00:23:52.559 and fifty guaranteed. I mean, he said the negotiations that are playing out. 284 00:23:55.279 --> 00:23:57.880 If you're a Lions fan, you have to ask yourself. And I 285 00:23:57.880 --> 00:24:03.160 think most Lion fans and I understand this, I get this part where whatever 286 00:24:03.200 --> 00:24:07.519 they do, you say, we've got somebody that's running things that we feel 287 00:24:07.559 --> 00:24:11.720 really good about. And years past, if you had this kind of situation 288 00:24:12.279 --> 00:24:15.119 and you'd say, well, the lines are gonna screw it up no matter 289 00:24:15.160 --> 00:24:22.200 what happens. Now it's you feel the exact opposite. You could back Brad 290 00:24:22.279 --> 00:24:29.880 Holmes. If they actually went into the season they said they weren't going to 291 00:24:29.920 --> 00:24:33.960 have any contract negotiations during the season, and they just went into the final 292 00:24:33.039 --> 00:24:37.680 year with Jared Goff, You'd say, well, Holmes had his number, 293 00:24:37.400 --> 00:24:48.640 and they must they must like they must like Hooker, and it does make 294 00:24:48.680 --> 00:24:55.759 you feel like they just must not really trust that's the the wrinkle in it. 295 00:24:55.799 --> 00:24:57.920 If it does play out there, if they would take it all the 296 00:24:57.920 --> 00:25:04.559 way through next season, and it'd be a gamble on both sides. But 297 00:25:04.599 --> 00:25:08.039 it does give you the feeling like, yeah, we don't want to pay 298 00:25:08.119 --> 00:25:18.680 him top dollar as we feel like we just don't believe he's that top five 299 00:25:18.799 --> 00:25:22.559 QB. That's the kind of vibes you get if it plays out that way. 300 00:25:22.599 --> 00:25:26.839 But you have that trust off your a Lions fan, we're asking you 301 00:25:26.920 --> 00:25:32.839 about this situation. It's unusual that you're sitting here talking about the Lions and 302 00:25:32.920 --> 00:25:37.480 having the trust. These are the guys that you are now like at the 303 00:25:37.519 --> 00:25:44.680 you feel great about with Brad Holmes and Jared Goff, but just like when 304 00:25:44.720 --> 00:25:48.200 you get to baseball arbitration and you got to get over there and everything you 305 00:25:48.279 --> 00:25:52.480 say about the player of your ownership, it's like, yeah, this guy 306 00:25:52.519 --> 00:25:55.880 can't do this, he can't do that, We don't want to pay him 307 00:25:55.920 --> 00:25:57.720 this, and the players are like, wow, man, these guys. 308 00:25:59.079 --> 00:26:03.000 It's a little bit like this. Jared Goff, until you get this signed, 309 00:26:03.000 --> 00:26:06.119 it's like, yeah, we like you, but we don't like you. 310 00:26:06.759 --> 00:26:11.039 Fifty million dollars a year. Yeah, we'd like you, but you're 311 00:26:11.039 --> 00:26:15.000 gonna have to take a little bit of a hometown discount. And he's not 312 00:26:15.000 --> 00:26:18.240 gonna do that. As much as Jared Goff loves it here and he's in 313 00:26:18.279 --> 00:26:30.759 the perfect situation, you take a little bit of a hometown deal. I 314 00:26:30.799 --> 00:26:33.519 think once you have all of that money and you have everything else and you're 315 00:26:33.519 --> 00:26:37.400 in this situation, I think this is just my guess. I think the 316 00:26:37.519 --> 00:26:41.759 golf, it's just like with his agent is like, skip me where I 317 00:26:41.759 --> 00:26:45.160 won't be. Where does it feel like I'm getting taken advantage of or it's 318 00:26:45.200 --> 00:26:49.759 going to be embarrassing whatever that number is going to be, because yeah, 319 00:26:51.359 --> 00:26:55.400 he's not gonna find another situation at twenty nine years old where he's sitting here 320 00:26:55.480 --> 00:27:03.400 where everything is lined up for him. So there's that part I said I 321 00:27:03.440 --> 00:27:08.680 would get to college football and grab a line, send a text, We're 322 00:27:08.720 --> 00:27:15.079 looking for your thoughts here on baseball with the Tigers, on the Lions situation 323 00:27:15.200 --> 00:27:21.599 as well on Exis and Bros.

You know, the Big eighteen you bring it in the 330 00:27:56.119 --> 00:28:02.200 West Coast teams and you know they got at USC and he at Oregon and 331 00:28:02.359 --> 00:28:08.519 Washington and UCLA. It sounds crazy and it feels crazy to be on board. 332 00:28:08.559 --> 00:28:12.960 Where you're talking about the big tent country. Let's talk about UCLA and 333 00:28:14.000 --> 00:28:18.599 all the travel and everything else back and forth. But where it sits right 334 00:28:18.640 --> 00:28:27.720 now with coach and program, USC and Oregon and Washington, Man, these 335 00:28:27.720 --> 00:28:37.799 are these are red letter games there. This is not Michigan State playing Northwestern. 336 00:28:37.799 --> 00:28:44.480 This is not Michigan Purdue. Well, these are games the history between 337 00:28:45.880 --> 00:28:52.759 Michigan and USC, Michigan in Washington for instance, same thing with Michigan State 338 00:28:52.799 --> 00:28:59.880 when you look at some of this. So I like that it's a bigger, 339 00:29:00.559 --> 00:29:10.599 big time games in the conference. I like that the Big Ten championship 340 00:29:10.640 --> 00:29:18.400 game is gonna be a better championship game the Big Ten West. They never 341 00:29:18.480 --> 00:29:25.680 won a Big Ten title. They never had a team that could do it. 342 00:29:26.519 --> 00:29:30.599 Now you're gonna have a big ten championship game against the top two and 343 00:29:30.680 --> 00:29:38.119 no divisions. I like that. Even if if it's like let's say a 344 00:29:38.880 --> 00:29:44.240 Michigan Ohiose State one week and then a Michigan Ohiose State the following week, 345 00:29:45.920 --> 00:29:48.160 it's not gonna water it down enough where you're gonna be like, oh, 346 00:29:48.519 --> 00:29:56.559 I'm not gonna watch this game. Now, you'll still watch it. I'm 347 00:29:56.559 --> 00:30:04.640 not with that argument. And then a twelve team playoff is pretty awesome more 348 00:30:04.680 --> 00:30:10.559 than the four team now already talking about, Oh, let's go to sixteen. 349 00:30:10.720 --> 00:30:14.759 Let's calm down a little bit on that. Let's let this one play 350 00:30:14.799 --> 00:30:18.720 out for a little bit before we start. They haven't even played this one 351 00:30:18.720 --> 00:30:21.200 and they're already like, let's jack it up. That's the way things go 352 00:30:21.359 --> 00:30:23.480 now. I don't mind talking about it, but let's stay with the twelve 353 00:30:23.480 --> 00:30:26.720 teamer and let that breathe for a while. Let's see what it looks like. 354 00:30:27.640 --> 00:30:34.920 So I'm looking forward to the changes in college football and how that is 355 00:30:34.960 --> 00:30:42.279 going to play out. Now, let's go to the Tigers and the feeling 356 00:30:42.559 --> 00:30:52.079 on the team. It's tough when the prospects are a five hundred for the 357 00:30:52.119 --> 00:30:57.480 team, that's how they've played, and you know they're sitting here one game 358 00:30:57.519 --> 00:31:03.000 above five hundred, which is, you know, record wise, a little 359 00:31:03.000 --> 00:31:07.920 bit better than okay. But they're coming off, you know, the their 360 00:31:07.920 --> 00:31:11.680 worst road trip, their biggest series where they lost two out of three, 361 00:31:12.039 --> 00:31:18.440 and so it's tough to be You get excited when you know, it's human 362 00:31:18.559 --> 00:31:25.720 nature. When they're sweep a series or win two out of three against a 363 00:31:25.759 --> 00:31:30.000 divisional opponent, you're gonna feel a little bit better. But overall, I 364 00:31:30.000 --> 00:31:37.559 feel luke warm to where they're at. I've had some feedback on the Tigers 365 00:31:37.759 --> 00:31:45.680 and how people are feeling about them on Twitter. Derek said he has seen 366 00:31:45.799 --> 00:31:49.640 nothing to suggest this team's improved it all from last season. If anything, 367 00:31:49.640 --> 00:31:53.839 the offense and the young core pieces have regressed. Safe for Green and then 368 00:31:55.039 --> 00:32:01.160 CW says he feels like, even if they develop a team full of superstars, 369 00:32:01.200 --> 00:32:05.720 don't just leave for the Yankees or Dodgers. And he's talking about the 370 00:32:05.759 --> 00:32:08.599 need for a cap. I think that's a little of that extreme. Matt 371 00:32:09.680 --> 00:32:16.119 talking about the Tigers says, honestly, a mixed bag. It's like rolling 372 00:32:16.160 --> 00:32:22.400 a dice or rolling a die to see which Tigers we get the low offense, 373 00:32:22.440 --> 00:32:27.000 stellar pitching team, the high output offense terrible pitching team, or the 374 00:32:27.119 --> 00:32:36.920 average offense, bullpens screwing up team. Miz says hopefully that road trip was 375 00:32:36.920 --> 00:32:40.039 a slap in the face for him. As much as Hinch wants Torque to 376 00:32:40.440 --> 00:32:45.480 work through his hitting issues in the show, he still thinks to trip down 377 00:32:45.519 --> 00:32:51.000 to Triple A is necessary that and he hopes that when Geo finishes his rehab 378 00:32:51.119 --> 00:32:55.440 that he can get the defense and extra base bats going. Yeah, the 379 00:32:55.440 --> 00:33:05.839 thing about Torque, if everybody else was rolling and and Tork was the one 380 00:33:05.839 --> 00:33:09.400 that was stick it out like a sore thumb, I think they may have 381 00:33:10.400 --> 00:33:15.039 been able to say, you know, let's uh, let's go have him 382 00:33:15.640 --> 00:33:29.000 work it out. How much when there's so many automatic outs, you can't 383 00:33:29.039 --> 00:33:36.039 send everybody now. And I think that's where they're They're they're sitting right now 384 00:33:36.039 --> 00:33:40.160 when it comes down to Tork. They already sent medals. Now, I 385 00:33:40.160 --> 00:33:45.319 send cold Keith down next then, and I'm gonna send Tork. He's third 386 00:33:45.359 --> 00:33:52.119 in line there. That would have really been something if they said, yeah, 387 00:33:52.160 --> 00:33:58.839 we're gonna swap out Keith tork Meadows. We're gonna bring up the mud 388 00:33:58.880 --> 00:34:04.920 Hens. That's the way we're going to go about it. Interesting. And 389 00:34:04.920 --> 00:34:10.000 then one more the Tigers from SPP. He says, really good pitching, 390 00:34:10.199 --> 00:34:16.760 very weak hitting, defensive struggles due to versatile players being below average due to 391 00:34:16.800 --> 00:34:24.760 playing multiple positions. The one thing about baseball that I think is always held 392 00:34:24.840 --> 00:34:34.679 true is that. And it's good the way that they've been able to perform 393 00:34:34.719 --> 00:34:42.239 on the mound this year. But when you don't hit, what happens is 394 00:34:42.559 --> 00:34:45.960 it's boring to watch. For sure. It's not like the postseason where you 395 00:34:46.000 --> 00:34:50.400 love one nothing games or two to one games. In the regular season, 396 00:34:50.920 --> 00:34:54.079 especially if you're going to the game, you want a little offense. But 397 00:34:54.159 --> 00:35:00.280 what happens every single time when the team goes through a lot of offensive production, 398 00:35:00.559 --> 00:35:07.840 it looks like they don't care. And then if you combine a lack 399 00:35:07.920 --> 00:35:15.880 of hitting with kicking it around in key moments with your defense, then it 400 00:35:15.920 --> 00:35:21.480 looks like you're poorly managed and don't care. And some of that jumped up 401 00:35:22.519 --> 00:35:31.000 against the Yankees and the Guardians. You know, almost every team that's made 402 00:35:31.800 --> 00:35:38.960 a name change. It takes a little while to get it going, and 403 00:35:39.039 --> 00:35:44.800 you know, people still screw up. You know, it's the San Diego 404 00:35:44.920 --> 00:35:47.559 Chargers. You still have people saying that, and you know, once in 405 00:35:47.599 --> 00:35:51.559 a while, you know, you still slip in the little Indians. I 406 00:35:51.559 --> 00:35:55.199 think I did it even earlier today. But I'm just just saying the Tribe 407 00:36:00.039 --> 00:36:08.880 over the Guardians. I've been talking about the Tigers now. Earlier when I 408 00:36:08.880 --> 00:36:16.320 asked about the playoffs, it's Freddy that says he just it's been so long 409 00:36:16.320 --> 00:36:22.039 for the Pistons winning in the postseason and other Red Wings as well. It 410 00:36:22.239 --> 00:36:30.239 just couldn't get into what's going on nationally. And I really understand it. 411 00:36:30.239 --> 00:36:37.519 It really takes effort and you just have to find different ways. If you're 412 00:36:37.920 --> 00:36:43.840 let's just say, like, if you're a Red Wings, Pistons, Tigers 413 00:36:43.880 --> 00:36:46.559 fan, they don't you don't have that problem with the NFL because it's so 414 00:36:46.719 --> 00:36:52.760 popular. But I get it. I remember, I don't know how many 415 00:36:52.800 --> 00:36:57.079 years ago it was now with the Nationals won the World Series. So the 416 00:36:57.119 --> 00:37:00.880 Tigers that were down so bad that I thought, but you know, when 417 00:37:00.920 --> 00:37:04.920 I'm willing to find another team, this was my effort that I put in. 418 00:37:04.960 --> 00:37:08.559 I'm going to say I'm going to pick a team and I'm gonna pick 419 00:37:08.599 --> 00:37:13.320 a player, and it just so happened. My friend, who is really 420 00:37:13.320 --> 00:37:20.960 into collecting cards, baseball cards in particular, he had a Wan Soto card 421 00:37:21.000 --> 00:37:22.039 and he gave it to me. He said, this is kind of guy 422 00:37:22.599 --> 00:37:25.760 you want to get behind. So I said, all right, this is 423 00:37:25.840 --> 00:37:30.679 my guy, Wa Soto, and I'm going to root for the Nationals. 424 00:37:30.519 --> 00:37:35.800 And the Nationals went on they won the World Series, and Wa Soto's is 425 00:37:35.800 --> 00:37:37.960 a hell of a player. He's one of the best players in baseball. 426 00:37:37.000 --> 00:37:49.400 But it compared to the Tigers doing something if the Tigers getting to the playoffs 427 00:37:49.519 --> 00:37:52.760 is a ten and the Tigers being the worst team in baseball as a zero, 428 00:37:52.920 --> 00:37:59.000 the Nationals winning the World Series, and Juan Soto the guy that I, 429 00:37:59.119 --> 00:38:01.960 you know, hand picked to be like my player and my new team, 430 00:38:02.159 --> 00:38:07.280 or at least the team until the Tigers were competitive, it barely rated. 431 00:38:07.360 --> 00:38:10.679 I don't know, would I give it even a one, not really 432 00:38:12.480 --> 00:38:15.239 give it a half. Just he goes, hey, this was my team. 433 00:38:15.480 --> 00:38:17.800 I trained with the Astros two of the year. They won because Verlander 434 00:38:17.920 --> 00:38:21.320 was there and I thought, eyah, I'd like to see him. What 435 00:38:21.440 --> 00:38:23.159 a World Series, and he did it, and I watched and I was 436 00:38:23.239 --> 00:38:25.840 kind of like, but it didn't do anything. I mean, it was 437 00:38:25.880 --> 00:38:32.880 hard. So I put that effort through and it just it didn't work. 438 00:38:36.719 --> 00:38:42.840 I've I haven't really done the same thing with in terms of picking another team. 439 00:38:45.079 --> 00:38:47.760 I've watched the Pistons these last couple of years, and a lot of 440 00:38:47.800 --> 00:38:52.719 what happens is I watch, but it's very easy to turn off and it's 441 00:38:52.800 --> 00:38:54.599 very easy to miss games. A little bit like that with the Red Wings 442 00:38:54.599 --> 00:39:04.360 too, pools, fantasy leagues. Oh yeah, gambling that can help a 443 00:39:04.400 --> 00:39:10.199 little bit, you know, to get the interest. There were a couple 444 00:39:10.239 --> 00:39:14.320 of years. Maybe you love hockey, you're gonna watch you love basketball, 445 00:39:14.400 --> 00:39:17.840 kind of the same way. But it's just the you've got to find some 446 00:39:19.000 --> 00:39:27.199 way somewhere in there to find something rather than just like for it to grab 447 00:39:27.239 --> 00:39:31.880 you, to find that effort to go through it. You got to do 448 00:39:31.960 --> 00:39:37.719 that. How those are some of the suggestions, you know, to get 449 00:39:37.760 --> 00:39:44.280 through it. Somebody telling you. It's a little bit like I found out 450 00:39:45.519 --> 00:39:50.719 over the years with the w NBA. Let's say, oh, I don't 451 00:39:50.960 --> 00:39:54.960 this is oh the women's game, and it's just kind of like, no, 452 00:39:55.079 --> 00:40:01.760 thanks, but then it just grabbed me. Last year with Iowa with 453 00:40:01.960 --> 00:40:06.119 LSU, it certainly happened there. And you know, here I was today 454 00:40:07.039 --> 00:40:09.840 when I was watching the highlights, They're like, here's the Fevers last preseason 455 00:40:09.920 --> 00:40:14.519 game before they start the regular season. And in the years passed out if 456 00:40:14.559 --> 00:40:15.719 tuned out of that so fast, And here I was like, eh, 457 00:40:16.440 --> 00:40:24.480 kaylen Claire, they grabbed it. So it'd be nice to see the other 458 00:40:24.480 --> 00:40:31.320 sports be able to do that for Detroit fans. I want to thank Ben 459 00:40:31.400 --> 00:40:36.400 Zos on the Variable Resistors producing a show. Thank you very much, ben 460 00:40:36.599 --> 00:40:43.280 great job.
