    S3E28: Did the Lions move the needle with their 2024 NFL Draft haul?

    Brad Holmes gets aggressive again and starts off the Lions draft with a boom as they trade with the Dallas Cowboys and move up to pick 24 to draft CB Terrion Arnold. What a move and the entire city erupted! Rakeshaw is the perfect culture fit here in Detroit. Manu is raw, but with his mammoth size and athleticism it is absolutely the type of project the Lions can and should take on. All of our takes and more on the Detroit Lions as we wrap up season 3. We will be back in July to talk more Lions and Michigan football. Thank you all for your continued support!

    S3E27: What will the Lions do in the draft? Early thoughts on Michigan football after the spring game.

    The QB battle to be the next man up at Michigan is officially on its way. Alex Orji, Davis Warren, Jayden Denegal, and Jadyn Davis battled it out this past weekend. What were your thoughts on the early front runner? Is Donovan Edwards poised for a major breakout season? Thoughts on the defense? As the NFL Draft approaches this week and will be hosted in Detroit, what in the world is Brad Holmes about to do with his first couple of picks? Is there a positional need they should prioritize? Does it make sense to trade up or trade back this year? Are you expecting any major trades or moves on draft night by Holmes?

    Should Michigan fans be annoyed with Jim Harbaugh taking basically the entire coaching staff with him to the NFL or is this something we should've just expected?

Whether you want to watch this Super Bowl matchup or not, prop bets are always a good time! Tune in to see what bets we like and don't like.

    S3E25: Can Sherrone Moore sustain Harbaugh's success at Michigan? Did Dan Campbell lose your trust against the 49ers?

    Sherrone Moore has been officially named the new head coach at Michigan as he takes over for Jim Harbaugh. Can he sustain the same level of success that Jim has created in recent years? What challenges will he face and should Michigan fans temper their expectations for next season? The Lions ripped our hearts out with a blown 17 point lead and being 30 minutes away from the Super Bowl. Let's not lose sight of what a magical season this was and what it did for the people in this city. Dan Campbell gambled multiple times and lost. Are you frustrated with how Dan managed the game and do you think he will grow from this or will we always need to understand this is what comes with having him as the head coach? Let the debate begin as we head into the offseason.

    S3E24: Can the Lions make it to the Super Bowl? Harbaugh to the Chargers. What's next for Michigan?

    Jim Harbaugh makes the much anticipated move to the NFL and will become the next head coach of the Chargers. Where does Michigan go next and is the culture sustainable? Who will/should be the next head coach? Pinch yourself...you're not dreaming! The Lions are one win away from playing in the Super Bowl. The Bucs prove to be a tough team, but the Lions were tougher and finished the game with an exclamation point. Enjoy every moment of this run because this league is incredibly difficult to win in. Are the Lions just a feel good story for the NFL this year or can they really beat the 49ers in San Francisco? How do they match up on both sides of the ball and who needs to step up to get the win?

    S3E23: The Lions end a 30 year playoff win drought against the Rams and draw a favorable home matchup against the Bucs this weekend!

    JJ McCarthy declares for the NFL Draft. Jim Harbaugh is interviewing with multiple NFL teams. Should Jim stay or leave? The Lions send Stafford and the Rams packing with a gutsy 24-23 win in the Wild Card round. Was Brad Holmes screaming at the top of his lungs in the elevator symbolic of this team and city right now? Jared Goff also seems to have won over the entire city of Detroit. The Lions will now host another home playoff game against the Bucs this weekend and will be favored to win. The Lions beat the Bucs 20-6 earlier this season, but both teams have evolved since that time. The Bucs will come into Ford Field as one of the hottest teams in the league, but the Lions faced a similar test and passed it this past weekend. Can they get it done and advance to the NFC Championship game?

    S3E22: The Michigan Wolverines are NATIONAL CHAMPIONS! Stafford returns to Ford Field for a Sunday night showdown with his former team.

    Jim Harbaugh leads the Michigan Wolverines to their first national championship since 1997! Washington kept it close most of the game, but eventually Michigan overpowered them on their way to a 34-13 victory. As a Michigan fan, how are you feeling right now?! The Lions draw an incredibly tough matchup with the red hot Rams as Matthew Stafford makes his long awaited return to Ford Field. How do you feel about Dan Campbell coaching against an experienced Sean McVay on Sunday night? Will Dan be able to call a calculated game in the right moments or will he continue to put his foot on the gas even when it seems like an overly aggressive move? Is this game more personal to Jared Goff or Matthew Stafford? Predictions for all of the NFL playoff games this weekend.

    A dream come true for Wolverine fans all over the country as Michigan sticks it to Alabama in the Rose Bowl to advance to its first national championship game since 1997. They will take on Washington as the greatest offense in college football takes on one of the greatest defenses. Who will come out on top? What does this moment mean to you if you are a Michigan fan? Dan Campbell and the Lions come up short in a controversial ending against the Dallas Cowboys. Coach says it is time to move on and encourages fan to not be bitter. Is he too aggressive at times or are you ok living and dying by these calls? Do you prefer the Rams or Packers in the first round of the playoffs?
