If podcasts had a depth chart, the Pride of Detroit is easily the Penei Sewell of Lions coverage: absolutely elite, incredibly reliable, and pancake-blocking all the bad sports takes.
As a Lions fan who moved away from Michigan back in 2008, keeping up with the fine details of the team used to be a massive chore—especially since mainstream sports media only seems to care about the coasts and Dallas. Since 2017, the POD crew has been my ultimate lifeline to Detroit, keeping me locked into the weekly loop.
The guys bring a perfect mixture of real, deep analytics and honest “eye test” analysis. This crew didn’t build this show around grandstanding, yelling, and rage-baiting. You can tell the POD crew are true fans who genuinely love this team as fans, giving us well-thought-out, realistic assessments and great banter instead of the usual radio toxic noise.
It honestly reminds me of a bag of Righteous Felony Jerky: Bold, no fillers, highly addictive, and the perfect companion for a Lions game day.
I appreciate everything this crew does. They make my entire football-watching experience better.
Forward down the field!
