About This Podcast

Chris Stone, Mike Terry, Dan Keener, and Dr. Brent Crider have watched the Lions for over 100 combined years, and they're not here to scream into the void. Instead, they dig into what actually happened and why it matters. You'll get historical comparisons that put today's team in context, personnel breakdowns using Brad Holmes' proven methods, and game analysis that goes deeper than the obvious. They examine draft decisions with real numbers, challenge tired narratives about the franchise, and explain how Detroit stacks up against real competition. From the Matt Millen era disasters to today's transformation, these conversations connect the dots between past and present. If you're tired of empty hot takes and want Lions talk that respects your intelligence, this is your podcast.
