WEBVTT 1 00:00:16.239 --> 00:00:21.519 Where are we at in society today? Come after me. I'm a man, 2 00:00:21.800 --> 00:00:26.679 I'm forty. Go ahead, make my day every single week. I 3 00:00:26.760 --> 00:00:29.199 put my freaking heart and soul into this. I don't go out there and 4 00:00:29.320 --> 00:00:32.520 laugh. It's not funny. Nothing's funny to me. I don't wanna go 5 00:00:32.520 --> 00:00:36.280 out there and get embarrassed on Monday night football fun everybody. I think this 6 00:00:36.439 --> 00:00:40.640 is the beginning of a beautiful friendship. So I ain't nothing changed from yesterday. 7 00:00:41.359 --> 00:00:44.799 Still the same person I was yesterday, and I got the same thing 8 00:00:44.840 --> 00:00:49.759 for you that I had yesterday. You know why I'm here. You play 9 00:00:49.960 --> 00:00:56.359 to win the game. You don't play to just play it. That's a 10 00:00:56.399 --> 00:01:00.000 great thing about sports. You play to win. I don't care you don't 11 00:01:00.039 --> 00:01:04.040 have any wins. You go play to win. When you start telling me 12 00:01:04.159 --> 00:01:15.760 it doesn't matter to retire, get out for the matters Classics six o two 13 00:01:17.519 --> 00:01:21.840 This Friday, May the tenth. Good morning, everybody. Dennis fit the 14 00:01:21.920 --> 00:01:26.400 end back again, filling in for Matt Shepherd. If this is the first 15 00:01:26.400 --> 00:01:33.480 time you've heard my voice, welcome and it's nice to be talking at you 16 00:01:33.599 --> 00:01:37.400 out there this morning. I filled in around the NFL Draft the day before 17 00:01:38.079 --> 00:01:42.879 the NFL Draft a couple of weeks ago in Detroit and then NFL Draft Day, 18 00:01:42.000 --> 00:01:49.599 and I was enthusiastic about the draft being in the state of Michigan and 19 00:01:49.879 --> 00:01:57.120 specifically Detroit, with the Lions coming off their best season in damn near seventy 20 00:01:57.200 --> 00:02:01.599 years. And you know what, it lived up to the hype. The 21 00:02:01.760 --> 00:02:08.159 draft even exceeded my own lofty expectations. I loved it all the things that 22 00:02:08.199 --> 00:02:12.400 you might say. It checked all the boxes. But you know, the 23 00:02:12.439 --> 00:02:17.400 Lions did well, and Detroit and the state of Michigan seemed like they came 24 00:02:17.479 --> 00:02:24.080 away and everybody liked what they saw. Everybody had a good time down there. 25 00:02:24.439 --> 00:02:30.680 How about that. I even hear about any issues now. That was 26 00:02:30.840 --> 00:02:35.680 awesome. It's great to be back here. Hope, wherever you are at, 27 00:02:35.800 --> 00:02:40.680 your family and friends are recovering, missed, or are recovering from that 28 00:02:40.719 --> 00:02:46.800 severe weather earlier this week that I think had all of us in the state 29 00:02:46.800 --> 00:02:51.759 of Michigan at one point on our toes. Certainly if you were out in 30 00:02:51.800 --> 00:02:55.680 it. I just was in a del huge driving in it, but didn't 31 00:02:55.680 --> 00:03:01.719 have to deal with those high winds. Certainly not the tornadoes. Specifically that 32 00:03:01.840 --> 00:03:07.840 tornado on the west side of the state that went through. So here we 33 00:03:07.879 --> 00:03:12.719 are and we'll be here until nine o'clock on X's and Bros. On the 34 00:03:12.719 --> 00:03:16.599 Michigan Sports Network. Why not just jump right into things. It's playoff time, 35 00:03:16.680 --> 00:03:23.520 and you know you can dwell on the Wings and Pistons, having been 36 00:03:23.639 --> 00:03:29.639 so long since either of those teams have been in the playoffs. I was 37 00:03:29.719 --> 00:03:31.960 just looking for, you know, the Pistons because they've been in the playoffs 38 00:03:32.000 --> 00:03:39.520 a few times, but they haven't won a playoff game in seventeen years, 39 00:03:39.879 --> 00:03:46.439 so that's been a while. And the Wings, who had that incredible streak, 40 00:03:46.560 --> 00:03:50.199 you know, twenty five twenty six, they kept going and then people 41 00:03:50.240 --> 00:03:53.479 were like, I'm tired of this streak of just getting into the playoffs. 42 00:03:53.479 --> 00:03:57.800 So it was understandable because they had made so many runs that they haven't made 43 00:03:57.800 --> 00:04:01.400 the playoffs for eight years and it's been, you know, twelve years since 44 00:04:01.439 --> 00:04:06.560 they've even won a series. Now, we had a little bit of Red 45 00:04:06.560 --> 00:04:15.120 Wings fever late in the season where the Little Caesars Arena was alive and it 46 00:04:15.159 --> 00:04:20.360 felt like it felt like twelve years ago or or fifteen years ago, and 47 00:04:20.439 --> 00:04:26.240 everyone was looking forward to that. But as we all know now they did 48 00:04:26.240 --> 00:04:29.240 not make it. If they did make it, they were going to have 49 00:04:29.360 --> 00:04:33.800 to take the Blue Shirts the New York Rangers. And the Rangers have just 50 00:04:33.839 --> 00:04:39.040 come out in the Stanley Cup playoffs and they just have not lost a game. 51 00:04:39.600 --> 00:04:46.680 They won again last night in overtime, again three to two over Carolina. 52 00:04:47.639 --> 00:04:54.319 The Rangers won in double overtime against the Canes on Tuesday, four to 53 00:04:54.399 --> 00:04:58.920 three last night, Paneren had the winner, so a three to zero lead 54 00:04:59.040 --> 00:05:01.879 for the New York Range. They are seven and oh in the playoffs. 55 00:05:01.879 --> 00:05:06.639 It's the first time since two thousand and eight that a team has jumped out 56 00:05:06.680 --> 00:05:13.439 to a seven oh perfect record in the postseason. That was the Penguins back 57 00:05:13.439 --> 00:05:16.000 in eight. And we know that was the last time that the Red Wings 58 00:05:16.040 --> 00:05:23.079 won the Stanley Cup. And so the last team to go and start out 59 00:05:23.079 --> 00:05:27.399 perfect after seven games made it all the way to the Stanley Cup finals. 60 00:05:27.439 --> 00:05:31.279 And now Carolina. If you are looking at the Canes and wondering why they're 61 00:05:31.279 --> 00:05:38.759 in the spot that they are, they were the second best statistically power play, 62 00:05:38.759 --> 00:05:42.560 They had the second best power play in the regular season. They were 63 00:05:42.639 --> 00:05:45.639 oh for last night and they were over in the series. Oh for fifteen 64 00:05:45.959 --> 00:05:49.439 on the power play for the Canes. So that's why they are looking up 65 00:05:50.040 --> 00:05:56.600 at the New York Rangers, who are on the cusp now of making the 66 00:05:56.639 --> 00:06:02.879 Eastern Conference finals. The other Stanley Cup playoff game last night was Dallas and 67 00:06:03.199 --> 00:06:08.839 Colorado, and the Stars end up winning that one five to three. They 68 00:06:08.839 --> 00:06:11.800 got up four to nothing, and you're thinking, no, you weren't thinking 69 00:06:11.839 --> 00:06:15.519 that it was over, because if you have followed this series, the Avs 70 00:06:15.519 --> 00:06:18.519 were down three to zero in Game one and they came back and won that 71 00:06:18.560 --> 00:06:23.480 game. So the Stars go up four to nothing after forty minutes, and 72 00:06:23.519 --> 00:06:30.519 then here comes Colorado again, getting within one goal late. Dallas scores in 73 00:06:30.560 --> 00:06:33.439 the final minute to get that five to three margin, so that series is 74 00:06:33.720 --> 00:06:41.120 tied at one. You like offense, and you do like if you're just 75 00:06:41.160 --> 00:06:46.240 sitting back watching playoff hockey and it's not your team and you whatever, you're 76 00:06:46.279 --> 00:06:51.839 just enjoying the sport. A lot of times you see a three, four 77 00:06:51.959 --> 00:06:56.000 nothing lead and you're like, this is over, forget it. But in 78 00:06:56.040 --> 00:06:59.560 this particular series, you're saying, Okay, I'm gonna have to hang around 79 00:06:59.600 --> 00:07:04.240 here, because we've seen the firepower that Colorado has so you'll stay around and 80 00:07:04.360 --> 00:07:08.959 watch a little bit of that. Now we'll take it over to the hardwood 81 00:07:09.199 --> 00:07:13.560 and the NBA last night. Before I do that, I want to tell 82 00:07:13.560 --> 00:07:17.639 you that I'm going to get into some Lions coming up straight ahead, and 83 00:07:18.120 --> 00:07:21.199 I ask you the question something you can think about a little bit. What's 84 00:07:21.279 --> 00:07:29.480 the biggest question mark for the Detroit Lions heading into the summer at six eighteen. 85 00:07:29.639 --> 00:07:32.439 I'll answer that question myself. The biggest question mark for the Detroit Lions 86 00:07:32.439 --> 00:07:35.879 heading into the summer. Maybe we're on the same page, maybe you're thinking 87 00:07:35.920 --> 00:07:43.000 something else, but you know we're May tenth the draft of the rearview mirror. 88 00:07:43.920 --> 00:07:50.839 OTA's the schedule next week, and you think about this team that made 89 00:07:50.839 --> 00:07:56.759 it all the way to the NFC Championship Game, the biggest question mark in 90 00:07:56.800 --> 00:08:03.040 your mind heading into the summer at eighteen, I'll answer that now. Basketball 91 00:08:03.120 --> 00:08:07.560 a little bit of a surprise last night. If you have not heard the 92 00:08:07.839 --> 00:08:15.399 result, the Calves the Cleveland Cavaliers in Boston. After losing by twenty five 93 00:08:15.439 --> 00:08:20.720 points in Game one, flipped the script and won by twenty four points last 94 00:08:20.759 --> 00:08:24.920 night Cleveland. They were tied at the half, but Cleveland wins it one 95 00:08:24.000 --> 00:08:30.399 eighteen ninety four. The series is tied at one, and the Celtics, 96 00:08:30.439 --> 00:08:35.320 you just look, I watched this game and it was there must have been 97 00:08:35.360 --> 00:08:41.159 some late threes to even make it. It didn't look as bad. But 98 00:08:41.600 --> 00:08:46.279 the Celtics they shot thirty five threes and only hit twenty three percent of them, 99 00:08:46.519 --> 00:08:50.159 eight of them. And then on the other side, Cleveland was down 100 00:08:50.279 --> 00:08:52.960 it up. They hit thirteen threes forty six percent from downtown. If a 101 00:08:54.000 --> 00:08:58.879 team shoots forty six percent from downtown and you only shoot twenty three percent from 102 00:08:58.039 --> 00:09:05.159 distance, you are not going to win the game. And that what happened 103 00:09:05.200 --> 00:09:07.279 to Boston. If you're a Celtics fan, you can say, hey, 104 00:09:07.279 --> 00:09:11.559 we lost the game and it was at the Garden in round one to the 105 00:09:11.639 --> 00:09:16.440 heat, and then we just dispatched them on the road and probably thinking that. 106 00:09:16.480 --> 00:09:18.799 I don't think anybody's thinking that, you know, Cleveland, they've made 107 00:09:18.799 --> 00:09:22.840 it a series, but I don't think anybody's thinking that they have, you 108 00:09:22.919 --> 00:09:26.480 know, Boston right where they want him. Dallas comes back, evens up 109 00:09:26.559 --> 00:09:33.360 their series with OKC. At OKAC last night, Dallas look at Donchez limping 110 00:09:33.399 --> 00:09:39.279 around, scored twenty nine points and Dallas wins by nine one. Nineteen won 111 00:09:39.399 --> 00:09:43.360 ten, so that series is tied at one. So there's your playoffs. 112 00:09:43.399 --> 00:09:46.399 We'll keep you up to speed on that and have some questions about that. 113 00:09:46.440 --> 00:09:52.759 We'll get to that. Lion's question their biggest question mark heading into the summer 114 00:09:52.240 --> 00:09:56.080 straight ahead. I'll answer that on X's and Rose and the Michigan Sports Network. 115 00:09:56.600 --> 00:10:01.399 Bill Simonson here from my good friend Josh Garvey.

We got that lion's question and a little tiger's to dive into 137 00:12:00.399 --> 00:12:07.440 this segment. If you're just tuning in, you had the Rangers in overtime 138 00:12:07.600 --> 00:12:13.480 and Dallas beating the Dallas Stars taking the Avs down by two in the Stanley 139 00:12:13.480 --> 00:12:18.480 Cup playoffs. And on the hardwood, it was the Calves over the Celtics 140 00:12:18.519 --> 00:12:28.000 in Beantown and then the MAVs took down OKC. Both of those series are 141 00:12:28.120 --> 00:12:33.840 tied at one. All right, I ask you what's the biggest question mark 142 00:12:33.000 --> 00:12:39.120 for the Detroit Lions heading into the summer? And the phone number is eight 143 00:12:39.279 --> 00:12:45.159 six six eight three eight forty eight forty three, the Meyer Hotline eight six 144 00:12:45.279 --> 00:12:50.279 six eight three eight four eight four three, and you can utilize the text 145 00:12:52.080 --> 00:12:56.000 text Sports Radio to twenty one thousand.

I would enjoy hearing from you across the state 148 00:13:05.639 --> 00:13:11.279 of Michigan to get your feelings on this, just how you are looking at 149 00:13:11.480 --> 00:13:16.879 the Detroit Lions and the biggest question mark for them. Now, I'm going 150 00:13:16.919 --> 00:13:22.000 to answer that question here straight ahead, which is the time right now? 151 00:13:22.919 --> 00:13:33.600 And recently the Lions came up with big time extensions with their right tackle Panay 152 00:13:33.639 --> 00:13:41.399 Sewel and Amna Saint Brown and their quarterback Jared Goff is heading into his final 153 00:13:43.200 --> 00:13:50.440 year on his contract and twenty four the cap number is thirty two million, 154 00:13:52.200 --> 00:13:58.039 and since, well, I'll back up. Before those extensions, there was 155 00:13:58.120 --> 00:14:07.679 the thought that the Lions might not be able to if you were calling Sewell, 156 00:14:07.840 --> 00:14:11.080 Saint Brown, and Golf the big three, that they might not be 157 00:14:11.159 --> 00:14:18.519 able to sign the Big three to extensions. But they can do that. 158 00:14:18.519 --> 00:14:22.840 They took care of Sewel. Everybody thought that that was the right move. 159 00:14:22.919 --> 00:14:28.639 Same thing with Saint Brown Golf. Not everybody is one hundred percent convinced that 160 00:14:28.679 --> 00:14:35.679 the twenty nine year old quarterback is ready for this gigantic extension to make him 161 00:14:35.679 --> 00:14:39.879 one of the highest paid quarterbacks in the league. And you know, get 162 00:14:39.039 --> 00:14:43.600 fifty million a year, you're like, oh, oh, is Brad Holmes 163 00:14:43.639 --> 00:14:50.559 going to do that? And by Brad Holmes not doing it along with his 164 00:14:50.960 --> 00:14:54.200 offensive linemen and wide receiver, the thought was, and the door was cracked 165 00:14:54.240 --> 00:14:58.279 a little bit there, that hey, maybe the Lions are playing a little 166 00:14:58.279 --> 00:15:05.480 bit of a hard ball all in negotiations with Jared Goff. Maybe even the 167 00:15:05.600 --> 00:15:11.879 Lions would take the course that the Dallas Cowboys did a few years ago with 168 00:15:11.000 --> 00:15:18.279 Dak Prescott and then a few years ago that Washington took with Kirk Cousins, 169 00:15:18.720 --> 00:15:26.720 and that is this franchise tag your quarterback. The Lions could go into next 170 00:15:26.799 --> 00:15:33.720 year with Jared Goff playing on the last year of his contract and then they 171 00:15:33.720 --> 00:15:43.000 could simply put the franchise tag on him. And the pluses and minuses of 172 00:15:43.120 --> 00:15:50.240 that are talked about quite a bit. The positives you're not tied up for 173 00:15:52.080 --> 00:15:58.399 three four years with one hundred and fifty two hundred million dollars guaranteed. The 174 00:15:58.440 --> 00:16:07.600 minus is that every day on shows like this and across the internet, the 175 00:16:07.799 --> 00:16:11.399 topic of what are the Lions doing with Jared Goff and what are they going 176 00:16:11.440 --> 00:16:17.679 to do at quarterback? And this is an unstable situation and he's gone and 177 00:16:17.919 --> 00:16:22.440 who's next? And it's a call trade of just ivery of all of the 178 00:16:22.519 --> 00:16:26.080 time focusing in the quarterback. No, the Lions don't want to do that. 179 00:16:26.240 --> 00:16:36.360 And just yesterday Brad Holmes Allions GM was on Detroit Radio and Holmes said 180 00:16:37.440 --> 00:16:45.759 that Jared Goff has earned an extension. He also said that it's a high 181 00:16:45.759 --> 00:16:51.480 priority. He went on to say that he would have liked to have had 182 00:16:51.480 --> 00:16:56.639 it done. The contract extension along with Paday Sewell and Amana Saint Brown. 183 00:16:56.840 --> 00:17:03.279 Now we know that did not happen. Are we taking what Brad Holmes had 184 00:17:03.319 --> 00:17:11.480 to say and believing him? I would say yes, I think that it 185 00:17:11.839 --> 00:17:15.599 makes a lot of sense. It makes a lot of sense to sign Jared 186 00:17:15.640 --> 00:17:22.200 Goff and to look at this Lion's window whatever that contract is going to be 187 00:17:22.240 --> 00:17:26.799 for five years, and you know the guaranteed money, and people will flip 188 00:17:26.839 --> 00:17:30.480 out and they'll say, Jared Goff is not a top five quarterback. Why 189 00:17:30.519 --> 00:17:33.039 are you paying him top five money? And he say, well, it 190 00:17:33.079 --> 00:17:37.240 won't be long that he won't be a top five quarterback, and everybody will 191 00:17:37.319 --> 00:17:42.440 jump in front of the line and that'll just push him back. But the 192 00:17:42.480 --> 00:17:51.920 Lions don't have an answer necessarily at quarterback. It'd be a big gamble to 193 00:17:52.319 --> 00:17:56.680 go into the final year and somebody say, well, what about Hendon Hooker. 194 00:17:56.640 --> 00:18:00.440 Lions took him in the draft a couple of years ago, go in 195 00:18:00.480 --> 00:18:04.559 the third round and if he would not have hurt his knee, the talk 196 00:18:04.799 --> 00:18:11.119 was the projection. There are projections that Hooker could have been a first round 197 00:18:11.119 --> 00:18:15.279 pick. So the Lions got great value and we're able to sit on Hooker 198 00:18:15.480 --> 00:18:22.160 and then you know, maybe Hooker could just take over for Jared Goff after 199 00:18:22.240 --> 00:18:26.000 next year. That's a gamble just thinking about it. Now. The Lions 200 00:18:26.039 --> 00:18:30.680 have been able to see Hooker in practice, but again, he was coming 201 00:18:30.839 --> 00:18:37.880 off of his knee surgery, So how much have they really seen him and 202 00:18:37.000 --> 00:18:44.759 how much can they really know? Now Hennan Hooker is twenty six years old, 203 00:18:44.880 --> 00:18:48.279 He's just a few years younger than Jared Goff. But if they really 204 00:18:48.319 --> 00:18:52.519 thought, I mean, there's the idea if there isn't an extension sign, 205 00:18:52.799 --> 00:18:59.759 and I would I think this that if there was not an extension sign by 206 00:18:59.759 --> 00:19:07.400 the end of this month, so three weeks, that the Lions might want 207 00:19:07.480 --> 00:19:12.240 to really put Hendon Hooker through the paces when they get the OT agent look 208 00:19:12.240 --> 00:19:18.440 at the dates and really think, hey, should we play this out even 209 00:19:18.559 --> 00:19:22.720 longer? Or is this going to help in our negotiations. Let's say they 210 00:19:22.799 --> 00:19:26.240 look at Hooker they just say, man, you know this guy, we're 211 00:19:26.279 --> 00:19:30.920 putting everything, We're throwing everything at him. He's one hundred percent healthy and 212 00:19:30.119 --> 00:19:37.160 he just is he's it. We believe in him. Oh, then they 213 00:19:37.720 --> 00:19:40.880 do play a little hardball. This is just a you know, the theory 214 00:19:40.960 --> 00:19:45.559 and it is the possibility that they could be thinking this way, and the 215 00:19:45.599 --> 00:19:52.480 thing that you would get if they did go that route for the next four 216 00:19:52.559 --> 00:19:59.400 years, Hendon Hooker's cap number is under two million. It's one to seven, 217 00:20:00.039 --> 00:20:04.079 I'm sorry, one three, one six, one six, one eight 218 00:20:06.079 --> 00:20:11.480 over the next four years. That looks a lot different than thirty two forty 219 00:20:11.599 --> 00:20:18.960 nine fifty two million, fifty five million that they're gonna have to cough up 220 00:20:18.960 --> 00:20:23.680 for Jared Golf if they go that way. So that's the game that they're 221 00:20:23.680 --> 00:20:32.920 playing, and they have to make that decision about the flyer that they took 222 00:20:33.000 --> 00:20:38.000 on Hooker, and maybe that they can get a better look and better gauge 223 00:20:40.359 --> 00:20:45.200 if they can, if they can get him out on the field and the 224 00:20:45.240 --> 00:20:49.359 practice fields and put him through the paces a little bit to get a read 225 00:20:49.440 --> 00:20:52.519 on that. And I don't think that's gonna happen, but it is the 226 00:20:52.519 --> 00:20:56.200 biggest question mark for the Lions. I do believe that they'll get Jared Goff 227 00:20:56.240 --> 00:21:02.079 signed and then this window with Golf I think for about three years, so 228 00:21:02.119 --> 00:21:07.079 we'll be taking a look at it in terms of winning a Super Bowl. 229 00:21:07.559 --> 00:21:11.079 All right, how are you feeling about the Tigers they come home for six 230 00:21:11.160 --> 00:21:17.839 games, starting tonight against the Astros.

Sex thirty five here 251 00:23:33.799 --> 00:23:38.960 on X's and bro S.

Now, we 254 00:23:55.079 --> 00:23:59.279 got the question out there with the Lions, the biggest question mark before this 255 00:23:59.359 --> 00:24:07.000 team heading out into the summer, I said Jared Goff and signing him to 256 00:24:07.079 --> 00:24:11.680 an extension. You want to jump in on that. I would like to 257 00:24:11.720 --> 00:24:14.559 hear from you. Maybe I agree on that, and you get some questions, 258 00:24:14.559 --> 00:24:19.559 you get some points on the Lions quarterback eight six six eight three eight 259 00:24:19.839 --> 00:24:26.920 forty eight forty three on the Meyer Hotline eight six six eight three eight forty 260 00:24:27.000 --> 00:24:33.079 eight forty three, or you can text sports Radio to twenty one thousand, 261 00:24:33.319 --> 00:24:37.000 Text Sports Radio to twenty one thousand and get your thoughts in that way. 262 00:24:37.160 --> 00:24:44.039 I'm also going to get to the Detroit Tigers this segment, and they have 263 00:24:44.319 --> 00:24:51.559 a series that they're opening up at Colberica against the Astros starting tonight, and 264 00:24:51.599 --> 00:24:55.640 that six point forty start time down at Comerica, which I like the earlier 265 00:24:55.759 --> 00:25:02.559 start time. Now let's go to the text. Ben Zos is the producer, 266 00:25:02.599 --> 00:25:07.359 and he's looking at the text. What did I say says if they 267 00:25:07.400 --> 00:25:11.160 decide to sign Goff for me, I would only offer a two year extension 268 00:25:11.720 --> 00:25:15.960 eighty four million guaranteed forty two million per if Goff says, no, fans 269 00:25:15.960 --> 00:25:21.759 won't be cheering his name anymore. Yeah, now that would be the ultimate 270 00:25:22.319 --> 00:25:32.200 hardball you're talking about forty two that's you could send that over to Jared Goff's 271 00:25:33.599 --> 00:25:41.079 agent and he's not going to return your call. So, I mean, 272 00:25:41.319 --> 00:25:48.599 there's reasonable expectations for a deal? Is there? To me, there's a 273 00:25:49.640 --> 00:25:56.799 it's not an easy deal. As your Jared Goff's agent, and you're going 274 00:25:56.880 --> 00:26:00.559 to want close to fifty and you're gonna want to between one hundred and fifty 275 00:26:00.599 --> 00:26:06.119 and two hundred million guaranteed. That's what the going rate is. So you 276 00:26:06.200 --> 00:26:10.599 know the Lions are in a good spot. They have to have golf. 277 00:26:10.720 --> 00:26:17.240 You know, golf's the one that has the leverage on the Lions. Now 278 00:26:17.640 --> 00:26:21.240 you're talking about a couple million here and there. Now, I know as 279 00:26:21.279 --> 00:26:27.480 a Lions fan, and I sit back and I ranked the quarterbacks in the 280 00:26:27.599 --> 00:26:36.599 NFL yesterday, and I saw a writer ranked the quarterbacks in the NFL, 281 00:26:37.440 --> 00:26:44.720 and it had the wheels spinning and me thinking about the position. Just I 282 00:26:44.720 --> 00:26:51.359 guess it's in a vacuum. You sit back, and if you have a 283 00:26:51.519 --> 00:27:00.480 superstar, difference maker quarterback, it means everything for your team. If you 284 00:27:00.559 --> 00:27:07.279 have Patrick Mahomes, if you have Lamar Jackson, if you have Josh Allen, 285 00:27:07.480 --> 00:27:11.519 if you have Joe Burrow, those kind of guys. The Lions don't 286 00:27:11.559 --> 00:27:15.920 have that, but they've got a nice quarterback that they can win a super 287 00:27:15.920 --> 00:27:22.559 Bowl with. That's important. You have to ask that question, can you 288 00:27:22.640 --> 00:27:26.000 win a Super Bowl with Jared Goff and the answer, are we all in 289 00:27:26.039 --> 00:27:32.759 agreement. Yes, they should have got to the super Bowl last year, 290 00:27:32.799 --> 00:27:37.039 but they blew that seventeen point halftime lead, as you know. But can 291 00:27:37.079 --> 00:27:41.720 they use that experience? Can they get back there, win some playoff games, 292 00:27:42.000 --> 00:27:45.160 win the NFC North, and then be in position and get to the 293 00:27:45.200 --> 00:27:48.039 Super Bowl. Can they do that with this team that they have, with 294 00:27:48.119 --> 00:27:56.440 the draft that just took place and the players to beef up to help out 295 00:27:56.480 --> 00:28:00.799 that defense. Can they do that? They say? Yeah. The part 296 00:28:00.000 --> 00:28:03.599 that you look over this window over the next couple of years, when that 297 00:28:03.839 --> 00:28:08.279 money for the quarterback goes up and up and up, well, then the 298 00:28:08.319 --> 00:28:12.839 rest of the team and the particular parts it goes down, down, down, 299 00:28:14.400 --> 00:28:17.440 and then you need more from that quarterback. I mean, that's the 300 00:28:17.519 --> 00:28:25.960 game that we're playing here. The X factor is Brad Holmes and his personnel 301 00:28:26.079 --> 00:28:32.799 decisions. If Brad Holmes can continue to go out there and hit it out 302 00:28:32.839 --> 00:28:36.319 of the park almost every time he's at bat like he did last year. 303 00:28:36.359 --> 00:28:45.079 With the draft, well you could pay Jared Goff fifty million dollars and that's 304 00:28:45.119 --> 00:28:48.519 where we're sitting at. You know, this this window of two to three 305 00:28:48.680 --> 00:28:52.640 years you know, even if the contract it's going to be around five years 306 00:28:52.279 --> 00:29:02.559 for golf, but after three it's one of those deals where if the thing 307 00:29:02.720 --> 00:29:07.759 falls apart and you can move on, it's not totally crippling, where you're 308 00:29:07.839 --> 00:29:15.759 just done. You're able to get out of it after three years. That's 309 00:29:15.799 --> 00:29:19.200 where I'm looking at it right now. I think that's the what do you 310 00:29:19.279 --> 00:29:26.160 call it a sweet spot? Those are the particulars they should sign Jared Goff. 311 00:29:26.119 --> 00:29:30.599 I don't think they're they're playing this game to look at Hendon Hooker. 312 00:29:32.279 --> 00:29:37.319 That is the the one part that we can all look at. We all 313 00:29:37.359 --> 00:29:48.119 know that as sports fans, fans like the backup quarterback in general much more 314 00:29:48.240 --> 00:29:55.200 than the team that actually is seeing them. He's never lost a game, 315 00:29:56.599 --> 00:30:02.079 an incredible upside, a minuscule cap number, and you know there can be 316 00:30:02.079 --> 00:30:06.599 a lot of excitement that way. Think about golf, and you know, 317 00:30:06.680 --> 00:30:11.759 the fans obviously love him, and it was even pointed out in that text. 318 00:30:11.759 --> 00:30:15.599 You know they can go cheer his name and everything else. But with 319 00:30:15.720 --> 00:30:19.720 Brad Holmes, and even though Holmes said yesterday that this is a high priority 320 00:30:19.839 --> 00:30:23.400 and that he's earned an extension, a couple of years ago, the Lion 321 00:30:23.480 --> 00:30:32.759 said who was the running back from Green Bay? Jamal Williams. And everyone 322 00:30:32.880 --> 00:30:40.599 loved Jamal Williams. He would stand there after the game, huge smile on 323 00:30:40.640 --> 00:30:45.559 his face, connected with the town, the media there joking with him. 324 00:30:45.559 --> 00:30:48.680 Everyone loved him. And what did Holmes do. Everyone's like, yeah, 325 00:30:48.720 --> 00:30:52.839 I got to bring this guy back. No, he won another direction, 326 00:30:56.039 --> 00:30:59.359 Oh, David Montgomery, And everybody's like, oh man, this guy was 327 00:31:00.319 --> 00:31:04.920 perfect for our teams. David Montgomery's a better running back and that was the 328 00:31:06.000 --> 00:31:10.400 right decision. The point there is that, you know, even though the 329 00:31:10.440 --> 00:31:17.359 fans love Jared Goff and they chant his name and everything else, those those 330 00:31:17.440 --> 00:31:21.759 cheers and those chants turn around pretty quickly if you're not getting it done on 331 00:31:21.799 --> 00:31:26.359 the field. Golf has been getting it done on the field, and that's 332 00:31:26.400 --> 00:31:30.400 why it's working like it's working for him right now. All right, open 333 00:31:30.440 --> 00:31:34.599 line available for you. Now. Look, if you are not someone that 334 00:31:34.680 --> 00:31:37.960 wants to talk about the Lions and their biggest question mark, and I'm going 335 00:31:38.000 --> 00:31:41.960 to jump into the Tuggerts right here, I put it out there for you 336 00:31:41.160 --> 00:31:47.039 with open topics. I'm watching the playoffs. There's something that you want to 337 00:31:47.039 --> 00:31:53.960 look at there in hockey or basketball. I'm talking football and baseball right now, 338 00:31:55.240 --> 00:31:57.519 that's wide open for you. You can get on in. We can 339 00:31:57.599 --> 00:32:01.279 handle it. We do want to hear from you. Eight six six eight 340 00:32:01.319 --> 00:32:07.480 three eight forty eight forty three on the Meyer Hotline eight six six, eight 341 00:32:07.519 --> 00:32:15.720 three eight forty eight forty three. Now the question about the Tigers, how 342 00:32:16.200 --> 00:32:30.240 do you feel about the Detroit Tigers? And my answer it's been a very 343 00:32:30.279 --> 00:32:38.240 exciting answer, it's luke warm. Now. I mentioned that I filled in 344 00:32:38.440 --> 00:32:45.720 for Shepp a couple of weeks ago around the NFL Draft, and I was 345 00:32:45.759 --> 00:32:50.799 feeling different about the Tigers. Well, they were playing better, there was 346 00:32:50.839 --> 00:32:55.720 more optimism. And right now now they haven't quite played forty games, but 347 00:32:55.799 --> 00:33:00.680 they almost have. And that's the first mark where you say, all right, 348 00:33:02.000 --> 00:33:05.960 what kind of team are we talking about here? What kind of grade 349 00:33:06.000 --> 00:33:12.039 are we going to give them? And unfortunately, just for the Tigers this 350 00:33:12.160 --> 00:33:17.920 morning, heading into this series and this home what six game homestand with the 351 00:33:17.920 --> 00:33:29.559 Astros followed by a beatable Marlins team that's coming in that's nineteen games below five 352 00:33:29.640 --> 00:33:34.640 hundred, they should be able to turn this thing around. But right now, 353 00:33:35.920 --> 00:33:42.000 this is the low point of the season for the Detroit Tigers. They 354 00:33:42.000 --> 00:33:47.119 are still about five hundred. But they went to New York and got swept 355 00:33:47.279 --> 00:33:52.799 in some close games. I lost by what one run, two runs, 356 00:33:53.240 --> 00:33:59.039 three runs in the three games in the Bronx. But then you focused in 357 00:33:59.079 --> 00:34:02.839 on this game again, the Indians, and you looked at the Al Central 358 00:34:04.720 --> 00:34:14.280 and it's surprising that the did I call them the Indians the Guardians. I 359 00:34:14.400 --> 00:34:21.440 was going to the Guardians and the Royals and the Twins, and the Tigers 360 00:34:21.480 --> 00:34:25.559 are pretty much all jumbled right in there, all of them. A four 361 00:34:25.679 --> 00:34:34.440 horse race with them. So as big of a series for a starving Tigers 362 00:34:34.639 --> 00:34:44.519 fan base that you could have in early May showdown against the Guardians, it 363 00:34:44.559 --> 00:34:52.760 was at least the early litmus test two for one with games against Cleveland. 364 00:34:52.400 --> 00:35:01.559 The Tigers went out there and they should have won two of three, and 365 00:35:01.679 --> 00:35:05.840 instead they lost two out of three. Heck, you could make a case 366 00:35:05.880 --> 00:35:09.239 they should have swept Cleveland. They lost two to one. They had that 367 00:35:09.320 --> 00:35:16.639 lead in the first game, then they put up eleven runs and got a 368 00:35:16.719 --> 00:35:22.159 victory. And then on Wednesday they lost in extras five to four, where 369 00:35:22.679 --> 00:35:28.480 Cleveland scored one the seventh eighth, ninth, and ten to end up coming 370 00:35:28.519 --> 00:35:32.039 back and winning that game. But everything that you don't like about the Tigers 371 00:35:32.039 --> 00:35:37.360 showed up in that game against Cleveland on Wednesday. They didn't really hit, 372 00:35:38.400 --> 00:35:45.719 they they didn't have the defense, they were kicking it around, and then 373 00:35:46.000 --> 00:35:50.360 the bullpen let him down. The thing that has been their strength. You 374 00:35:50.400 --> 00:35:52.119 know, they're pitching, and then in particular the bullpen, which had been 375 00:35:52.119 --> 00:36:00.880 really good and let them down. That's a that's an early bruise. That's 376 00:36:00.920 --> 00:36:04.960 a four game swing. Certainly a two game swing when you start thinking about 377 00:36:05.079 --> 00:36:13.159 the way that they lost those games on the road against Cleveland, and I 378 00:36:13.239 --> 00:36:19.400 say luke warm because this was a team that was pegged at five hundred entering 379 00:36:19.440 --> 00:36:24.360 the season. This is a team that I thought would be five hundred. 380 00:36:25.159 --> 00:36:32.599 Oh, we all make our predictions. I wasn't throwing a ninety win season 381 00:36:32.639 --> 00:36:40.320 out there looking at this roster, but I did think since their number heading 382 00:36:40.360 --> 00:36:45.559 into the season was right at five hundred. I don't like ties. I 383 00:36:45.559 --> 00:36:49.039 don't like putting it right at five hundred. Said all right, I'll pick 384 00:36:49.079 --> 00:37:00.280 eighty two games. Eighty two games is not going to get you to the 385 00:37:00.320 --> 00:37:07.360 postseason. But as we sit here and they're what three games shy. Now 386 00:37:07.360 --> 00:37:10.480 they'll get to that forty gay mark in this series against the Astros, and 387 00:37:10.519 --> 00:37:15.760 that is the first one where you say, all right, what can you 388 00:37:15.800 --> 00:37:22.480 do here? And the old forty game mark really resonates with Tiger fans. 389 00:37:22.519 --> 00:37:28.239 It's been forty years since they've won a World Series. Sparky's number was forty 390 00:37:28.320 --> 00:37:31.920 games, the old Tiger manager, and of course in eighty four they started 391 00:37:31.920 --> 00:37:36.920 thirty five and five with that forty gay mark. So no, we're sitting 392 00:37:36.920 --> 00:37:46.920 here and you give the Tigers a C, being five hundred getting a grade 393 00:37:46.960 --> 00:37:52.280 of a C. That's why it's it's lukewarm to mean right now, pitching 394 00:37:53.400 --> 00:37:57.480 great out the pitching is, you know, above average. I'd give them 395 00:37:57.480 --> 00:38:00.559 a B, but they hitting a D. Balances that out bad way. 396 00:38:01.280 --> 00:38:06.000 So as we sit here and I think for Tigers fan, if you're some 397 00:38:06.119 --> 00:38:12.039 Tigers fans, there's somebody across the state of Michigan that eyeballed this series against 398 00:38:12.079 --> 00:38:15.760 the Astros. They're making the long drive in and you're thinking, man, 399 00:38:15.760 --> 00:38:20.880 I'm just gonna go enjoy some baseball. The Tigers. They're wearing their their 400 00:38:20.960 --> 00:38:24.679 City connect jerseys, You're like, I'll drop a couple hundred on the City 401 00:38:24.719 --> 00:38:30.599 connect Jerseys, another couple hundred the tickets, another couple one hundred on some 402 00:38:30.760 --> 00:38:36.360 dog. It's just gonna be fun, fun trip for five or six whatever 403 00:38:36.519 --> 00:38:39.199 you're gonna end up spending. You understand that, but you're just gonna enjoy 404 00:38:39.239 --> 00:38:45.400 the ballpark. You a nice leisurely sit back and enjoy the weekend for one 405 00:38:45.400 --> 00:38:50.320 of these games. And I got the Hana radio tell me that this is 406 00:38:50.360 --> 00:38:53.760 a c team, a five hundred team, and the feeling is luke warm. 407 00:38:53.760 --> 00:39:00.800 Where's the optimism? I think the optimism is that heading into the season, 408 00:39:04.599 --> 00:39:07.360 there were some young players that I think you you looked at that you 409 00:39:07.400 --> 00:39:15.960 were just hopeful that could that could do something that make you feel better about 410 00:39:15.960 --> 00:39:22.840 their prospects. And somebody like Trek Scooble certainly has been able to do that. 411 00:39:23.039 --> 00:39:31.360 And you know there have been some other the Jack Flaherty has has had 412 00:39:31.360 --> 00:39:36.440 some nice outings, Reese Olsen certainly has some of those guys in the bullpen, 413 00:39:36.559 --> 00:39:43.960 and you had the youngster Colt Keith, and you like Carry Carpenter if 414 00:39:43.960 --> 00:39:49.840 you're a Tiger's fan, Riley Green, but you also see that these automatic 415 00:39:49.880 --> 00:39:57.199 outs that have been there. But really you're you're Tigers fan in general heading 416 00:39:57.239 --> 00:40:04.719 into this season and and how they felt about this team. It's hard for 417 00:40:04.960 --> 00:40:12.800 your average Tiger fan to have the optimism because they don't have trust in the 418 00:40:12.920 --> 00:40:20.199 ownership. Fans don't trust Chris Ilich. Now, they don't trust Chris Ilich 419 00:40:20.280 --> 00:40:24.480 just because the Tigers have been bad since he took over for his late father. 420 00:40:27.280 --> 00:40:30.920 They don't necessarily allough, this is one of the things that your average 421 00:40:30.960 --> 00:40:35.159 Tiger fan isn't like that the Tigers did not spend any money. They have 422 00:40:35.239 --> 00:40:38.840 the seventh lowest payroll their way under league average. When it comes down the 423 00:40:38.840 --> 00:40:45.039 payroll, Tiger fans, you know, you're not gonna love that. But 424 00:40:45.079 --> 00:40:52.039 they don't like Chris Ilich because they felt like they have been scammed by the 425 00:40:52.119 --> 00:41:02.039 Tigers owner when it came down to the district of Detroit and you're going to 426 00:41:02.079 --> 00:41:07.519 take a pessimistic look at Chris Ilich. When they came out and they they 427 00:41:07.559 --> 00:41:15.280 had the hockey building, the Little Caesars Arena, and it was billed as, 428 00:41:15.480 --> 00:41:20.920 oh, the neighborhoods and what this is going to do for the city 429 00:41:20.960 --> 00:41:27.559 of Detroit and the building is fine for illach, but the surrounding area. 430 00:41:28.199 --> 00:41:32.920 If I'm putting a grade out, it gets an F and everyone would give 431 00:41:34.000 --> 00:41:37.239 Chris Ilich an F. Chris Ilich is giving himself. Has to wake up 432 00:41:37.280 --> 00:41:39.000 in the morning and saying, you know what, I ain't got a big 433 00:41:39.119 --> 00:41:45.519 F on that. And that's why Tiger fans don't trust me. He's got 434 00:41:45.519 --> 00:41:47.440 to say that he looks at himself. So that's why I put him at 435 00:41:47.480 --> 00:41:52.599 luke warm where I'm sitting right here. We'll get into this more in the 436 00:41:52.960 --> 00:42:00.119 seven o'clock hour plus back to the Lions and back to the quarterback position and 437 00:42:00.199 --> 00:42:05.239 just how much money that position is worth for the Lions. All of that, 438 00:42:05.320 --> 00:42:07.960 I'm done. A Swiftian in for Matt Shepherd on Access and Bros. 439 00:42:07.960 --> 00:42:15.440 And the Michigan Sports Network.
