I consume a great deal of Lions content (some would say too much), and this podcast immediately catapulted itself to the top of the leaderboard. They’re a knowledgeable group who manage to bring original, unique thoughts that never feel disingenuous or “hot-takey.” Kudos, boys! Great stuff.

This is my favorite Lions podcast by far. They bring a great depth of knowledge, football insight, and fun conversation - and avoid all the hyperbole and overstatement you tend to find on sports talk radio. Highly recommend for any Lions fan (new or old!).

Refreshingly different from the usual hot take, loud, say anything to get clicks talking heads. Justin, Colton, Will & Jeff work so well together and give detailed analysis & insights. They enjoy talking & joking with one another. I look forward to listening (or watching) every week regardless of a win or loss. Lions fans, do yourselves a favor and listen!

Guys, love the show. I look forward every week because I get Lions insights that aren’t available elsewhere. But giving this a 4 because of today’s episode. Spending 30 mins on 2 stories you all (and everyone else) have written and talked about extensively is honestly a waste of time. Maybe even lazy. Feels like we only got half a show. Please tighten that up, move beyond the warmed over leftovers, and jump into the content that makes this show special.
