    Old School vs. New School, Pistons Pressure & the Lions’ Schedule Predictions

    On this episode of Down & Dirty, Scott Mitchell and Herman Moore dive into one of sports’ biggest debates: whether today’s athletes truly stack up against the legends who built the game. Reacting to Anthony Edwards’ comments about previous NBA eras and Magic Johnson’s response, the guys break down the importance of respect, history, toughness, and what’s changed about modern professional sports culture.

Later, Herman and Scott dive deep into the NFL’s Rooney Rule and the realities of hiring practices inside professional football. Herman delivers a passionate perspective on coaching pipelines, meritocracy, accessibility, and why former players often struggle to enter coaching despite decades of on-field experience. The conversation explores bias, coaching trees, qualification standards, and what truly makes someone capable of leading at the NFL level. The episode closes with a lighter conversation around the leaked Lions vs. Bears Thanksgiving matchup, NFL holiday expansion, Barry Sanders memories, and classic Lions-Bears moments from Herman and Scott’s playing days — including Thanksgiving traditions, Mitchell & Moore memories, and what made Barry Sanders unlike anything football had ever seen.
