Be a part of this I’m finally in the state my dad is a member of this already as well so now once again I get a chance to join pops uh shoes but it didn’t realize and understand how much I love the state of Michigan and how much I
Love University of Michigan just being from here so I came back home like I think when I left go to the NFL like college was over you know football me was over when I did the state was over and you know you retire and then I came
Home in 2014 I came back home and it was like people want to talk about Michigan people want to talk about the Michigan State game people want to talk about the hundredth game the Ohio State game people wanted to talk about a lot of things that I thought were over and
Didn’t matter so I appreciate it I’m humble but I’m tired of talk about myself damn it’s three weeks in a row man let’s talk about the Detroit line Tom as talk about you for a minute good afternoon hey fellas that is a work of art thank you Noah there and Pete spy
For the idea absolutely good job SP I can’t wait to show Larry foot Senor the pictures he’s a hater he’s been he’s been a hater my whole life now Larry foot Junior’s on the B that’s my guy me and Larry Jun always been boys that’s
Been my guy too I love Larry you got foot Mar DT senior’s got an Thomas lot of Hennessy that senior’s got an ax to grind with you yeah he likes you though he does I know but problem with you I’ve done nothing wrong man like he’s one I he’s
One of old school guys in the city like they just always were mad like I just you know I bowl with Larry foot seed here I love him hater great guy fun guy we play poker so playing uh during bowling if you get a strike you pick a
Card up right you can’t have more than five cards in your hand he just sits in the back he don’t sit with us yeah it’s called cheating sits in the back he gets his his wings he eats his wings in the back washes his hands comes back and
Bowls so every time you get a double or you make a split you get two cards so we find him like he gets the cards but he’s not discarding anything he’s got like seven eight cards in his hand at one point we have to call
Him on it after time oh my God no it’s for fun man we we don’t care we it’s fun it’s like when you play uh cards on the airplanes like you know what I’m saying like we’re coming on a road trip we’re on airplane and you play boay was the
Game I can tell you stories about buay a little bit of Poker but more so buay buay was kind of like it was like five car stud mixed with um uh what’s the I Declare War like five car St mix with I Declare War but anyway it’s like you
Know two seats it’s like this row this row and it’s like see here it’s a corner always a cheater that will find the row over here he sits like this and he he shuffles over here and Deals out and you’re looking behind him like why do I
See bicycle cars like oh anyway so there’s always funny you mention Larry foot though like isn’t it funny and I I feel like I got a funny Larry foot I’m that guy right now too by the way haircut day today thank you Becca I look good today and I’m not
I don’t care what anybody says I look good today and I feel good today thank you um but something about Generation guy like old school guys don’t like us we don’t like young you know I mean it’s a trickled out there is a trickle down you’re like what what’s Larry foot
Senior’s problem with me he don’t like me he’s an old school guy like cuz I’m bigger than cuz I’m bigger than cuz I’m bigger than foot but I mean I’m sure I’m sure there’s something to that but and I know we’re just playing around a lot but
You know I feel like that too but I I’m always talking about these kids out here these kids don’t understand what we’ve been through in our lives and how many guys before you like you that you were mentored by kind of like crapped on you 100% like when I was back in college
At the fraternity house my hell week was not what the older guys as hell week was yeah conversely these kids today I don’t even know why you call it hell week Heaven week you know uh you know like DT DT be hating on me but like um
You know yeah I mean it’s right DT’s hating on you I mean like I don’t know what it is what is it about Generations who knows man is it you you know the the my kids the music they listen to the other night I watched the greatest night
In pop about we are the world it’s about We Are the World phenomenal so I had Lily sit down and watch it with me and she was fascinated by it and what is all said and done I said Lil now you know why I don’t count what you listen to as
Music and she’s like Dad don’t go there you know it people fight over music yeah constantly and I I’ll put Michael Jackson to me is you somebody from the younger generation to tell you Chris Brown and fight you Toth and I know I understand that but I’m
Right about some things The Beatles come on but like Michael Jackson can sing better Chris Brown but Chris Brown Can Dance better like no he can’t dance better than Michael Jackson don’t get me started don’t even go there at the end of the day at the end of the day each
Dancer at their respective times was able to do everything and more when Mike was on top he could do all the dances out and even more that day is pass is Chris Brown’s time greatest performer in the history of musicis BR now Mike put your mic on because Mike is our music
Guy he don’t even lik Sports he’s a music guy I I know one thing he’s GNA tell me I’m right so go ahead Mike tell me Michael Jackson or Chris Brown better singer Michael Jackson better dancer Chris Brown I respect the talking point I respect the sentiment but I might have
To go with Mike better dancer was the influence say better singer for sure it’s not even close Mike was the influence for Chris this is true but there was an influence from Michael Jackson it was Fred a stair it was James Brown is James Brown better than Michael
Jackson hell no okay the next man that saw what he saw he honed it he moved on tell everybody borrow from somebody there’s nobody better than L Richie [ __ ] phenomenal they wrote that song in the bathrooms Michael Jackson wrote that song too by the way amazing um can I
Just say this too well Li Richie is my guy number one but when you’re talking about dancers where do you put and feel free to weigh in on this Mike I’ll just be honest I’m not a big halftime show guy with it but you got to put Usher up
There when it comes to Dancing Yeah Usher’s super dope but the two we’re talking about like user and Chris Brown he’s in the minor leag user in the minor leagues Usher and Chris Brown I love the Usher love I love that you give Usher some love he deserves some love but he
Not in the category Usher I’m explain to you this way I’m explain step Chris Brown and Michael Jackson are the people that are teaching the class like they have the choreography ability and they have the creative ability themselves Usher is a guy that’s learning okay like Usher you always got a choreographer
Somewhere that help Usher Out Usher can learn any move but you need somebody to teach him Chris Brown is creating the moves and so is Michael Jackson hey look say say what you want about Michael Jackson but it’s it’s Mike drop he is number one and no one is close Mike you
Where are you on the Usher situation uh I’m going to have to agree with Bray L of pocket on that finally we W out of three you didn’t agree on the chicken and you didn’t disagree with mik so we one out of three fair enough enough um
Bowling tonight man hell yeah do you expect any you hold on you got to start here Ryan andman his team is now one point back for the league but what do just mean because every week we talk about bowling m is walking out with no money the envelope is getting I’m down I
Got my last $100 bill in my pocket right now my last so you’ll put no I got another four weeks to go you’ll put the you’ll put the 100 in tonight well I’m going to yeah I have to pay for bowling and I’ll pay for some of the okay now
How much is that cost by the time I’m all said and done I’m probably 70 bucks in okay $70 in you got $30 to eat okay $70 to play but the one thing $0 to eat hold on but the one thing about it at the bowling alley bowling alley is still
Very cheap no anymore they still have good food they got cheap they got cheap drinks I don’t drink I have a Coke and I nurse it all night I get a couple refill you can get a you can get a double titos and lemonade for the same thing you get
A c i don’t like it man hey I’m just saying okay so M talk to me about tell we’re expecting some three Baggers uh I I’m I listen I got backtack high 600 series I’m going I’m going for a 700 tonight 700 plus now if you get a 700
What does that mean do you win Pride to me pride and maybe my team will wi Pride doesn’t pay your bills I know but I want my team to win now if you win do you win money com okay now what kind of what are we talking uh I’m not exactly sure but
It’ll probably be close to you know almost thousand a man thousand a man that’ll refill the envelope that’ll refill the en let you play next season correct guess when the last night is uh draft night yes hey I’m stop it I swear to God you
Now can we move this I beg them at the beginning of the year please let us not Bowl on April 25th please guys please I got outvoted you got outvoted so what is that going to me you’re not obviously you’re on draft night I’m going to be
With you guys are you really yeah even if it means B in the head I want to be there right but how how can I not be at the draft two two things one who was you guys cuz we don’t pick the 29 like I’m not standing up till till 1: in the
Morning trying to see who the hell Detroit Lions are drive we need you there man we’ll figure we’ll figure this out right we’ll figure this out we’ll figure it out no I’m joking but second thing I want to say m you’re due to win
Big you’re due to win big you and I had the conversation back like Ryan like m is like the best father man there is so there’s one daughter that did not get a chance to go to Florida during the Spring or doing anything else so what
Maz does m says you know what I’m take some days off of work you know how much he took some days off of work taking it down there they’re going to hang out at the sister’s condo and for La when are you doing that like the March 31st
You’re a great person like mad is just the best man that’s what I’m saying you got something coming your way man I’m telling you this Thursday and next Thursday that’s Easter day I’ll be doing it when leave not leave it till 9:00 at night so I got all Easter day with the
Family tell big day coming for me I hope so uh ho Harden says how the F do you bowl without drinking I don’t drink you don’t drink n is not a drinker I don’t drink I never drink Joe wood says Bray don’t ever put no Chris Brown in Michael
Jackson category ain’t you a m guy that’s Michigan guy I can’t see your intelligence when you make statements like that ain’t no Chris Brown in the category with Mike I love it at the end of the day it’s all about transcending it’s all about what happened what happened before that everybody said
Frister was the best answer ever then it was James Brown then Mike took both their stuff made it better and then created some of his own Chris Brown has done the same Mike didn’t get a chance to live till Chris Brown’s age he died
Filming this is it so all we got was 51 years of Michael Jackson yeah but now Chris Brown is up and he’s done everything and Michael Jackson has done dance-wise and more he’s learned from the crumping and this era of music and I mean the different things they do
Dance-wise I don’t make the statement to say something crazy it’s just about evolvement look at sports sports evolved the same way there’s not you will Chamberlin ain’t the best player of all time neither is K Abdul Jabar neither is Michael Jordan at this point he is but
At the same time all I said was he dancing we all have our favor singing wise I still said it’s nothing compared to Mike singing wise in that conversation now will you get any mystery balls tonight I hope I hope what happens when you get the mystery ball
It’s a couple hundred bu depends on what’s in there couple hundred dollars like 230 bucks but if you hit the big one the uh the one that that that what do they call it progressives if they don’t call the exact number it goes to the next week so it doubles that it
Triples and blah blah blah some guy walked away with almost two grand a couple of weeks ago wow God bless him yeah and you’ll do uh this bowling night on Thursday concurrently with the Drew uh in Mike appearance they call me while I’m on the lanes of course they insist
On on calling me what if you’re in the middle of a four bagger I tell them to hold on I put it down and I I put it on speaker and I bowl and then they just talk about me bad ass man he’s fight he’s fighting
It every turn so great fighting it every now I got to go home yeah that’s the real fight oh my gosh that is so great guys uh great show for you today Ari mayro will join us he covers the NFL for the 33rd team on X at mysports update
Great NFL feed there uh we love Ari he’s going to break down everything around the NFL for us we’ll get his take on our guys uh Steve Wilds in chat says DJ reer has left the building which is I don’t know if that’s true but I’m just reading
What he that we gotta confirm that I will say um Michigan State by the way in action just uh final uh as we went on air here live uh they have beaten Minnesota 7767 so Tomo does get a win in the Big 10 tournament this pretty much
Solidifies them in a slot to make the NCAA tournament Michigan loses last night uh as we told you as we told you uh by the way 2 and0 in our uh in our locks last night y Pistons won as well um but look um and I don’t need to spend a ton of
Time on this but there is no decision to be made I put a post out last night on X during the game sounded like exactly what I told you it is there but but there’s there’s there is no decision to be but but I mean there’s no other way
To look at it plagiarism but but there’s no other way to look at it look Michigan was a top 10 program in college basketball maybe even a top six program in college basketball that’s who he took over did you say that too MZ I did oh
You did I said they were on fire and he burned them down on fire okay so okay just Mak it sure my bad okay thanks um you could put a number in there you’re you’re you’re a top 10 top six program in college basketball when you took over
The house as mass said has essentially burned down he has never been the same coach since the the situation uh in Wisconsin the health situation aside uh Joan Howard and we hope 110% that part of it uh is is on the up and up but there’s no decision to be made and I
Don’t know um when it’s going to happen how long it’s going to happen but I’m at the point now where I’m not even expecting a firing I would not be shocked if there was a contract extension I just there’s not even a maze R anymore at home games
There is no more maze rage at home games all the old people are back sitting in the student seats that is you talk about Chrysler Arena like not having life anymore and Chrysler Arena didn’t have life because all of the old people sat in the lower bowl when John beine was
There and into the and into the Joan Howard era when joh Juan Howard took over all of the students were down there wearing their yellow shirts maze shirts called them the maze rage for over a decade you had the maze rage you don’t even have that anymore all of the old
People are back in those seats um so it’s time it’s unfortunate but uh it’s time to move on it’s really simple your take brilin Edwards uh s we said the same thing you know we 100% we agree at the end of the day shoot it’s one of those situations where it’s hard finding
Coach in college basketball now college basketball much like college football even worse in even worse shape so I think it’s tough to get a coach and I think that wely is the big thing the ward Manuel and athletic department is trying to deal with who wants to come in
And fix this I mean this is a mess Ryan andman it’s one of those situations where I think it’s going to take them a second to even find a willing Suitor so you know maybe he does get extended another season you broke hey look you
Broke it you buy it and I think that’s what they’re going to do with Jan Howard and it’s up to you for at least another year while we can try to make some decisions and see what else is out there this is a tough landscape now college
Basketball I mean Tom ISO is the last remaining much like Jim Harbaugh and Nick last season Tom ISO was it there’s no more iconic coaches and there no more K Gone Gone Williams gone uh you see Kansas lost Jay Wright gone yeah but none of those players played like uh
Dickinson was out one of their other best players the last two games they lost by combined 50 points yeah Dickinson got hurt and another player was out but they’ll be back for the playoffs but you have basically in college basketball you have Tom ISO right now and uh Kansas
And Rick patino’s back with St John and uh and Gonzaga and the coach you still have him Ricky patino has put St John’s back on the map guys that’s that’s going to be a great story to follow watch that it will be a great story the only thing
About it is some of the luster in that story gets taken out of because of how bad college basketball is patino is one of the old school coaches he gets it fouryear play right now is how you get better in basketball fouryear play is how you win getting guys to stay cuz
There AR no more Super Stars if you uh in the Collegiate rank so you get guys to buy into hey this is a big program you get to play a Madden Square Garden where the Knicks play maybe you get some kids to go there and you get them to
Stay for one two three four years you can actually win that’s the way you win now you got to have foure squads that’s what Greg campy put together at Oakland that’s why this year yeah Oakland watch out for Oak Oakland you can make some noise guys if they watch out for them
You just got to win the first game yep they get a good matchup if they win that game look out could be another St Peters absolutely could uh speaking of the Lions news today and I think this is really um expected news I would think uh and it’s really the first signing that
They had and that is that they have resigned Brad Holmes’s general manager and uh Dan Campbell as your head coach these two men get extensions through 2027 uh that is uh what their contact details are so far you know that’s it’s not released by the team or anything
Like that so we’re happy exactly you don’t really understand or need to know how much money they’re making I’m sure they’re both well taken care of I’m sure Dan cell is making more than $4 million right now uh especially with some of the numbers that are being thrown around to
College coaches you know 10 million 12 million uh depending upon which college coach you’re getting but uh Bray this is a no-brainer this had to be done and uhrman too it looks like uh the Lions will be having that solidified front office and coaching staff for for years
To come you know thing I like about this Ryan is one it’s it’s giving them the credit they deserve look they’ve been here 3 years they told us to be a three-year plan and in three years they got to the NFC championship and they won the division so hats off to them what
They said was going to have it happen excuse me with that being said you don’t want to extend them too long like at the end of the day the business of sports is the business of year by year it’s what happens last year doesn’t have to happen
Next year or same so I like that it’s till 27 it’s not one these deals where it’s to 20 2010 I mean excuse me 23 dang 230 is coming like that tell man that just sounded wild but anyway it’s not one of these deals to 2030 where you’re
Giving them six seven extra years or just hey you know we believe in you this much no we got to make sure that it stays like you’ve been doing it three extra years it’s perfect I like it no doubt and you know when it comes to
These two men too look they they’ve uh solidify this organization they have given this organization stability unlike anything we’ve ever seen before and I and I think when they came in there was a little bit of a you know can they work together because they hired the head
Coach before they hired the general manager but isn’t the general manager the head coach’s boss how is this going to work what is this going to look like but these two men have come together not only those two but their staffs uh Chris Spielman as well Rod Wood Sheila Hamp uh
It just really works and I think um when you look around the NFL you know you look at the mess in Dallas uh you look at uh instability everywhere you know in Philadelphia maybe with the Giants uh quarterback problems you don’t know what’s going on in Tampa Bay do they
Like their head coach do they not like their head coach the general manager Matt Light or whatever his name is you know I mean there’s so much unrest and uncertainty amidst big-time organizations in the NFL who would have thought that the Detroit Lions would be one of the preeminent organizations when
It comes to ownership president advisor general manager head coach who would have even th it nobody it’s it’s like an upside down world now and I’ll take it it’s been too long man it’s been way too long and now this is the world I want to live in with
The Lions on the upswing no doubt about it guys and and not only that but players want to play here as well Graham Glasgow um spoke to the media yesterday and so did Carlton Davis but one of the things that that um Graham Glasgow talked about was you know his contract
And he didn’t want this to be dragged out he didn’t want um just a bunch of teams to get in on this and you try to get the most money because this is where he wanted to be he wanted his agent to make a point of it he walked uh he
Walked down the path of how the contract negotiation went everything was perfect everything worked out exactly how I liked and how I wanted sort of same thing you know first time you went through this obviously a different sort of mindset in terms of bringing you back
This year you want to be back and uh I don’t were there ever any nervous moments though as it got to free agency do you always think this was going to get done is there um I mean like I talked to my agent I think the night before like the tampering period went
About and I I mean there’s always you know you can always see that there’s some interest from other from other teams and uh even if you’re not talking about money um and he told me like what they had kind of offered and I said I didn’t even really want to like really
Wait and see use like other teams offers to maybe go back and try and get more money I just kind of wanted to get it done and have it be done and that was kind of how it worked you know I’ve always loved about the offensive lineman in terms as it
Relates to renegotiating as it relates to free agency as it relates to even being a rookie and signing that first deal offensive lineman and I don’t want to say it this way CU they’re different guys they’re very complex they’re very intelligent so don’t get me they’re very simple the offensive line are simple
Like they’re not out here sitting here trying to break the bank like they’re not trying to think about in the future buying this house or that or this community or this this Lamborghini Ferrari or what I’m going do in crypto and Bitcoin and blah and L like look
Just give me what I just give me what I deserve give me what is fair I’m trying to get on this field and I’m trying to keep this thing going like I’ve always respected that about Lan not the same but all respect about Lan is but going
To the lions at the end of the day he’s happy here he’s from Michigan went to Michigan he went out to Denver he came back here he saw what the lions were last year he saw with this identity and with this culture is like he’s like why
Do we need to leverage another team why I know what I want to be I want to be here with Dan cam I want to be here with Brad Holmes I want to be here with this team that I started working with and building with last season like but that
Is what happens when you build the thing the right way up and you know something about Simplicity of of offensive lineman listen to what he said about the o line room oh yeah okay like this is this is great too because it just feels like
Graham glass as a guy you want to go have a beer with right I mean here’s what he had to say you know I’m a big fan of levity uh I think that it’s not about like always being like super serious all the time and I feel like you
Know if you watch pan before games I feel like pan is always locked in he’s always ready to go he’s always ready you know doing his thing and I feel like sometimes it’s nice just to have a little bit of a just be able to joke around a little
Bit maybe I I don’t know maybe maybe I’m funny maybe I’m nice to the guys I’m not sure but at I mean at the end of the day I think that um just everybody in that old line room is like just good dudes they’re great to
Be around and I think that we have like a good thing going on it simple the lions are providing the blueprint in a locker room like the lions are providing the the blueprint on what it takes to want guys to buy in want guys to want to come want guys to
Want to stay paused I mean you look at the room like the offensive line room those guys are always together they fish together they hunt together they kick it they chill they drink beers their sons to same schools same Little League team like linemen are always together but I
Think you seeing that in every position with the Detroit Lions man when you get like that guys it take less to stay guys will also look and say look man I’m not trying to do this I’m just trying to be here like if you continue that like
That’s how you Contin success that’s how the Steelers were built that’s how the Ravens were built that’s how the teams that had longevity long standing for years and years the Packers if you will they had locker rooms that you wanted to be a part of and the Next Generation
Just kept passing it down it’s the next 5year plan those guys pass it out to the next 5year plan that’s what it feels like in my estimation the Detroit Lions are building now with Dan Campbell and Brad Holmes all right um guys we’re going to take a break when we come back expect

Games you don’t want to you don’t want to end on a loss right you want to try to end on a win so um I feel like uh coming back here and being able to do that and having an opportunity to come back and and have another crack at
It is is really good that was Graham glas out talking about uh you know losing in the NFC championship last year and the motivation that gives you a to want to come back to that situation uh and see if you can get to one more game
Next year one more win next year maybe two more wins obviously is uh what you want to do to finish the job but brillan you were in that situation for the Jets when you lose uh a a champ Conference Championship Game the motivation that gives you uh to to do maybe one more
Workout one more rep one more uh you know Gasser whatever the case may be um there is a motivation in doing that yeah it was crazy you know you talk about 2009 season you know we barely snuck into the playoffs and we made it all way to the FC championship and be honest
Ryan we should have won that game we were winning the halftime we kind of flubbed it up in terms of what our coordinators were doing but that off season you know you’re like We snuck into the playoffs and we got to the AFC Championship you know let’s add a couple
Pieces let’s add a Jason Taylor for the Miami Dolphins let’s add leanian Thomason let’s add Antonio kardi and when we added those players we still had the same core guys that had gone the year before Ryan we still had the same core of guys that remember what it felt
Like to lose to the Colts in the Indianapolis at Lucas field remembers What it Took remembers those reps in 2009 2010 that you may have said you know what I I don’t need that extra rep on this Gasher I don’t need this extra rep in the waight room you know so now
The next year you add these pieces and you had this offseason and you guys are letting them know what it felt last year to come up short and when you’re doing OTAs when you’re doing training when you’re doing mini camp like you said you’re getting that extra rep you’re
Getting that extra set you’re getting that extra hour of film studying you know you’re you’re flying down to where wherever your teammates are so you guys can work out together and keep that Bond going cuz you know where you were and you know how close you know how close it
Was and what it felt like so you’re trying to get back there but you keep that chip on your shoulder and you just keep giving extra you give a little bit extra cuz you’re like if we got this far this year and I know I wasn’t at my best
Or I know I didn’t do everything in my power I didn’t not I didn’t study as much as I could have I’m doing everything in more this offseason I think that’s what you’re going to see that’s what gram glass God is talking about and you know I do believe in
Momentum in the NFL I think the way the Lions ended 2022 going 8-2 in those final 10 games gave them absolutely momentum to head into the off season and I think having uh Kansas City on their schedule in the opener really gave them a little bit of added motivation knowing
That they were okay they finish the season 8 and two and it propels you into your workouts and now you’ve got the Super Bowl champion Chiefs uh to open up the NFL season uh that that gives you a lot of motivation to get through the day conversely this year now after a loss
You don’t care who’s showing up in week one you are that team now yeah you’re not the Super Bowl champs but you are one of the top four dogs in the entire league uh and everybody’s going to be gunning for you because they want to be
Where you were a year ago yeah this is true and and and that’s where you got to continue to progress like you did the year before that same thing happened to us Ryan so in 200 we make it to the AFC Championship which would have been 2010
Playoffs then 2010 season you know we’re coming into that season we’re thinking about the same we we like all right you know what yeah we we saw what we got like we’re those dudes we’re those guys we started off the season on Monday Night Football Ryan we said we were
Those guys we know what we’re going to do we’re going to put forth everything into it we start off against the Baltimore Ravens man and it was supposed it was built as Rex Ryan against his former team the Ravens and defensive coordinator and where the Jets the game
Was in New York we lost right we lost 10 to n or 10 to six one of those dumb scores I we didn’t score any points because we thought just because we had been there just because we had all that just because we added some pieces we
Were going to take that next step and you still got to fight you know why it’s because this year Ryan teams know about you that’s the difference last year people like all right well you know Detroit they finish nine and eight we’ll see well Detroit embarrassed everybody
And thought that this year there’s no thinking teams are extra preparing Detroit is on a short list of teams that the other teams are extra preparing for talking about like this is their system this is how Ben Johnson calls his offensive plays this is how hard they
Play on defense so teams are going to come with it that’s one thing you got to know from the word go the first game of the year teams are going to come with they’re goingon to bring extra energy extra toughness extra everything you you got to know I’m glad you said that
Because Carlton Davis uh and it’s Carlton Davis III I I do you call him CD3 CD3 you know um at his uh introductory press conference yesterday one of the things that he talked about was you know he had firsthand knowledge of what it’s like to play in Detroit in the playoffs
Against the Lions against these players against this coach against his team here’s what he had to say um talking about playing the Lions in the playoffs and I was talking to somebody earlier about that how uh resilient that group was and um just the fight and the dog
They had the culture here is good um cuz usually you know when you’re in a tough battle a team at some point budges there’s two teams competing really hard and they never budged like they kept the same energy uh played with that same physicality uh and just was was uh
Bringing it every play so uh just being an opponent you you recognize things like that you respect those qualities in the team for sure that was the line ‘s new defensive back Carlton Davis III whom they traded for uh third round pick uh in this year’s draft number 92 to the Tampa Bay
Bucks so they get he said hey I’m a CB1 I’m a CB1 you’ll hear that in just a little bit but uh we do have our good friend Ari mov on the phone right now you um see his stuff on X at mysports update uh the 33rd team as well covers
The NFL for them Ari how are you my friend I’m doing well this week um has been a crazy one like it is every year and like I say every year this is um my regular season so um it’s um a lot of roster Shing going on but um I enjoy it
Every year a lot of guys getting paid lots of people getting paid and Ari obviously here in Detroit um you know I think there’s some fans out there that that would love to see a big splash we have not seen a big splash it doesn’t
Feel like a brad Holmes kind of thing to do but we do see uh um you know uh Carlton Davis III from Tampa Bay you do see uh and a Robertson from uh the Las Vegas Raiders um these guys could have an impact what do you make of what the
Lions have done so far in free agency yeah I I think they’ve been making I guess safe moves and moves that AR necessarily GNA screw them over in the future and probably the best example to give is Buffalo when they made the AFC Championship game and then lost to
Kansas City they decided screw we’re going to go go for it and they added a bunch of players they signed Von Miller to that big huge contract and essentially now you saw this offseason how they had to release so many players and how they were so over the cap so I
Feel like Brad Holmes realized that hey we’re going in the right direction we just made it to NC Champion we have a really good roster a lot of core players guys we’re going to have to pay here very soon but we’re not going to be overly aggressive to a point where in a
Couple of years this could come back to fight us and it going be very difficult so I think that’s the vantage point that he took into all this so far he’s not going to overpay he’s not going to do some sort of contract that that could eventually become an issue down the road
And like we’ve spoken about in the past there’s a lot of guys here who have to get paid from your own roster and team’s budget you know two three years out thinking about those big contracts that are coming out from on R Brown jard GF
And on and on so I won’t say that I’m that surprised I was curious going in if they would make a splash but it sounds like up until now they’re going to stay put and try to get guys you’re going to help right now and not hurt in the
Future either my favorite NFL and sports analyst R May how you doing but actually happy three uh P day 3.14 there you go there we go throw that out there for you hey look uh enough of that we know what it is I agree with you one 100% we know
That he’s not going to pay anybody but his guys the splashes that they’ll make they’ll be Aiden Hutson they’ll be panu they’ll be Amar Ry S brown that’s what he know he’s going to do we know that but do you agree with that you look at
How close they got this past year NFC Championship game and you can argue they were seven minutes away if they would have got a pass rush or if they would have made the right calls uh in that game let me not hash that up for Detroit Lions fans out there but they didn’t
Make that move like montz s they did make the chase young room at the three agent deadline and that could have cost in the playoffs now it seems essentially they’re not doing the same thing do you buy that do you agree with how Brad Holmes is is is running this ship or do
You think they need to maybe get an Eric arm set they need to maybe get that one more player that cost a little bit more but could fit in and help this team get over the hump right away yeah I mean here’s the thing like the off season just started right
There’s five months into this off season and I know that there is a pretty big name in your building actually right now in DJ re and it wouldn’t surprise me um if he’s someone who could eventually sign in Detroit I know there’s interest on both sides I think contract is a
Decent contract so that could be another player who could come in so those type of players where they’re value signings and it’s guys who could affect the defensive line for example like a reader maybe an armite if it’s not a reader I think those type of players make sense
But it just doesn’t feel like he was willing to go to try to pay let’s just say the Brian Burns trade even though it was a two and a five that’s $30 million per year or Bryce huff at 17 a year or denal Hunter at 25 a year I think that
That’s just too rich for him and that’s not what Brad Holmes is looking to do he’s kind of looking through that second wave of frases where there’s still a bunch of really good guys out there and again I mentioned a couple of names there’s still a bunch of guys who are
Still for ages there’s still a bunch of guys who could still get cut and there are some players teams are going to eventually look to trade especially as we get closer to the draft when teams figure out their boards realize all right we might draft this guy that means
This guy becomes Expendable and there’s some value there as well so again we’re just a few days into this for agency let the entire offseason play out I I’ve got I think most of us including all of you have gotten to a point where I don’t think it’s right to doubt Brad Holmes
After the work that he’s done so far that’s a fact man uh I know I’m very I’m one of those kind of fans that want a big splash but you know what when it comes in hindsight I know the guy knows what he’s doing I mean I mean look what
He’s taken and look what he’s done with this team I want to ask you about who do you think has really improved their lot who hasn’t and I want to ask you about what the Giants are trying to do is Danny uh Jones is he really going to be
Let go are they moving up in the draft who’s going to quarterback for the Giants the Jets got questions the Bears got questions they hold the whole draft in their hands yet fill us in Ari what what are you hearing yeah so Daniel Jones was the
Giant um he has over $35 million fully guaranteed this year so and he’s coming off an ACL injury so there is no moving off of him um they signed Drew lock to be the backup there I know the Giants have done their homework on the quarterbacks in this draft they’re
Picking in number uh number six but um I kind of have a feeling that they are ready to move forward with Daniel Jones for one more year and see what he’s got there’s still a lot of holes on that roster they made the big Brian Burns trade but they need help by receiver
They could use um um there’s still question marks if Darren Waller is going to come back and I retire so there’s still a lot of questions there but Daniel Jones is there for at the very least for one more year because of his contract as for the Bears I think the
Justin Fields thing is one of the most interesting things going on in the NFL right now going into the off season we all thought oh yeah they’ll get a second round pick for him and now you look around it’s like I don’t even know where he fits like Atlanta got Kur cousins muu
Of Vegas Steelers got Russell Wilson um Sam Don Minnesota the one team I am watching that could be sneaky is probably Seattle with the Seahawks where they have goo Smith but it’s a new offensive staff a new head coach they haven’t really fully committed to him and this contract is essentially a high
Upside backup type of contract if you look at the numbers so I think that’s an interesting situation they just they just saw Drew lock like I said go to the Giants they need another quarterback historically the SE are all about competition so that is a team that could make sense to me
After that it’s really hard to find a place for him because like like like everyone knows by now Chicago is planning to take Caleb as the number one which means what you do with just with Justin field and I think there’s some team who could probably get Justin field
For far better value than we thought um they would be able to get in when the offseason started how about keeping it in the NFC North how about all of these teams switching players I mean it’s it really is hard to even keep up who do
You think improved their lot the most in the NFC North yeah I mean I think Minnesota is going to have a hard time figuring this situation out I mean it’s I don’t want to call it a reset but the quarterback Position will be very interesting for them 10 million guarantee for Sam Donald
We’ll see how that goes and what they do in the draft but um you know I I think Detroit is just slowly but Surly continuing to build up their roster and continue to stay steady like they haven’t lost anything so significant to me they continue to add some more
Players some more dep players so more guys who could um you know create um create problems for other teams the one team that I am watching for is a team that we just mentioned I mean Chicago is building a very strong roster all around they have like players on
Every level if you look at that defense from the defensive line they traded for Montes SWAT last year they added traine enim they just extended Jaylen Johnson they signed a few players they just signed another Center like they’re GNA get Caleb Williams they added DeAndre Swift they added Kevin Bayard it’s aam
Team that usually when you’re picking a number one and you’re taking a quarterback in the draft you expect to walk into a situation where the team isn’t good when Caleb Williams will get there and he’ll be the number one overall pick the team is’s walking into
Is a really good really good team with a lot of really good players so we all know about GRE Bay we all know about Detroit I think Chicago is sneakily starting to build something over there and once the quarterback comes in with that young with that rookie quarterback
Contract I think that’s a team that can make some interesting sure could hey Ari dumb question but does the the lack of interest in Justin fields at all in Chicago could that potentially change the course of what the Bears are going to do I mean can you imagine you know
Trading back one spot acquiring who knows uh maybe it could fleece Washington maybe it could fleece uh New England Minnesota the Giants some team that wants a quarterback keep Justin fields take Marvin Harrison and have a bunch of picks uh after that as well yeah I mean we all know the
Quarterback position is the most important position and the Bears have done extensive research dating back for a few months now on Caleb Williams like they’ve told their Scouts if you see anyone who’s USC related ask about Caleb Williams you see somebody Oklahoma related ask about Caleb Williams they
Interviewed Cliff kingsb for their OC job and the primary questions were were all about Caleb Williams like they’ve done all the work they could possibly do with him interviewed him for the first time in person um at the combine they still need to bring him in for a 30
Visit and in fact I actually tried to bring him in before fre agency started and just two schedule didn’t line up but they’ve been doing all the work you could think of when it comes to Caleb Williams so I think they’re just pretty much locked in on him at this point I
Understand kind of where you’re coming from at the end of the day I feel like most people I’ll say over 95% of teams have Caleb Williams as QB W in this draft so I don’t know what the reasoning is behind nobody really wanting Justin field this was the same scenario with
Justin when he came into the league if you remember people thought it would be Trevor La Justin fields in his draft and all became Lawrence Wilson Lance and who’s going to take Justin field and the Bears had to trade off for him so for whatever reason people around the league
Have not been high on him but I do know people are very high on Caleb Williams the Bears are very high on him and um I think that’s the direction they’re going to go in talking to Ari mayro covers the NFL for the 33rd team on X mysports
Update I wanted to ask you about Kansas City as well because we’ve seen them in this off season sign Chris Jones what about uh lerus sne what’s the talk out there with any trade movement I know the Lions I’ve heard their name associated with him in a trade before but uh
Signing two guys uh already or acquiring Carlton Davis from the Bucks and and signing uh a uh Robertson from the Raiders I would think that they’re out on leria Sneed I don’t know what’s the latest with Sneed and the Chiefs yeah so the talk at the combine
Was once the Chris Jones deal gets done they were conent would get done that they would you know need after tagging him and they gave permission for his agents to to secret trade the three teams at the time that I heard would be very interested
Were the line like you said and then the Colts and the Titans were the other two and was my understanding that the second round pick would be the sweet spot to get it done now when it comes to doing these type of Trades you really have to
Have three parties agree on this you have to satisfy the chiefs with a pick you would have to satisfy lerus need with a contract and the team that is acquiring game would also have to be okay with the contract and the fix they’re giving up so a lot of moving
Parts when it comes to all of this I wouldn’t imagine the lions are out I do think Titans and Colts are probably still in all of this but the chief’s intention is to move him they do believe they have a bunch of other young DBS of course McDuffy they have Watson they
Have a few other guys they’ve been really good when it comes to drafting cornerback so they feel confident they’ll be able to continue doing that but um the belief has been a second round pick would be enough I think the harder thing is getting a contract done
And we just saw you know Jaylen Johnson and the bears it took them over a year to get a contract done he quarterback contracts have gotten a little bit tricky because the market hasn’t reset in almost a year and a half with Alexander’s deal and for whatever reason
Teams don’t want to go over that so I think that is part of the issue over here is where you got to do a contract and the picks and that’s been part of the hold up so far but like I said the Chiefs would like to trade in but um you
Got to get all sides to agree all I want to ask you a quick question about two guys that didn’t sign back with Detroit and that’s one Jonah Jackson who signed uh 3 years $51 million with the Rams and then CJ GJ went back home to Philly 3
Years 33 both those players were very pivotal at least Jonah Jackson was for the Detroit Lions on the offensive line to the tune of one yard extra per carry when he was in there do you believe that not being able to sign those to hurts
The Detroit Lions because TJ GJ is a guy that we think here maybe provide that energy spark and then you saw what that line was when Jonah was on it uh is that something that could come back to bite Brad Holmes and Dan Campbell um well I want to see what they
Do the rest of the off season obviously brought they brought back Glasgow and then when it comes to the safety position I mean we’ve talked about it really since before fre agency started there are so many safety St out there that there’s going to be some value signings at some really really good
Players who can still P so I understand why Brad was like you know what we loved Shanty Gardner Johnson but 3 over 27 with Max of 33 is just too rich for us I get it it makes sense look at how many other guys who are still available so I
Think they’ll let this Market play out because eventually there going to be like we always say it’s it’s a supply and demand situation there’s way many way too many safeties and not that many teams who need all these safeties So eventually there’s going to be some guys
Out there who Detroit could sign for far cheaper and they’ll be fine and then when it comes to the guard position um it’s I think a lot of people have mocked the lons getting an offensive lineman this is an offensive lineman Rich draft as well and as we said they resigned
Graham Glasgow so I understand why it hurts a little bit to lose Jonah Jackson he somebody that you guys drafted I know it was before Brad but somebody who was a pro bowler but um I think they’ll be just fine with both those guys leaving I’m not as concerned as maybe some
People might be when it comes to those two hey Ari last last one from me I’m sorry Bray were you gonna say something no you’re good no I I was I was going to ask you about uh these rule changes that have been thrown out there how many of
Them you think will stick there’s one for an onside kick you could get the ball back on the 20 it’s like a fourth and 20 type of thing I don’t know what that is someone wants to add uh tenths of a second to the clock in the last
Minute of the game what what can you tell us about these kind of rule changes possibility yeah every year there are a bunch of proposals that are made by teams to change rules to fix some stuff and I’ve gone to the owners meetings the last several years in order to get a
Rule change to actually pass it is such a headache you need to get 20 24 teams to approve of it 24 owners to approve of it and they have to go into a room and discuss and to get everyone to say yes it just feels like and I’ve heard that
It is a headache so some of these probably won’t get passed the one that I could see getting passed is one that the trade deadline right now is after week eight there’s been a few teams that have proposed moving it to after week nine or even after week 10 yeah and the reason
For the proposal is when the NFL expanded to 17 games in 18 weeks the trade line stayed the same way when it was 16 games in 17 weeks like why didn’t that move also so it makes a lot of sense and I think because of it it would
Create way more action during the season with the trade deadline because more teams will know are we in or are we out because the trade deadline is right now there’s teams who are four and four five and four four and five it’s like maybe
We could still make a run if you move it over to after week 10 I think more teams will know all right maybe we should sell off some these pieces and maybe we should be more aggressive getting some of these guys so I think that is one
That could definitely change and I think the NFL wants it because they love when there’s you know fre agency friendy trade action this is what they want so um that’s one that I could see happening next month when um when the owners meet in U Orlando they got to fix the kickoff
Man the kickoff is useless onside kick is useless they got to fix those things they gotta that’s that’s that that is another another thing that I think will happen they will change the kickoff where to make it more of it not being useless there’s been a couple proposals that is
One that is high on their list the kickoffs and also the hip drop tackles are two things they do want to work on and I think those two are far more serious than the um the shop clock that you mentioned or the fourth and 15 or
Fourth and 20 onsite you got it Ari Ari mayro from the 33rd team covers the NFL for them and of course one of our favorite guests we really appreciate your time Ari thank you yeah thanks for having me on thanks for making it work I’m sorry C around
Video but next time we love you man thanks for you for making it work absolutely uh you could have told us to buzz off thanks appreciate it uh Ari mov again you could follow uh great one of the best NFL Twitter feeds uh that you
Can have on X mysportsupdate on x and of course covers the NFL for the 303 and you know look he mentioned d DJ reader uh for the Lions we don’t no we haven’t heard much uh is he in the building did he leave I would have to imagine if
You’re in the building with Dan Campbell and Brad Holmes you’re not leaving without a contract I would think that but maybe the Lions and again he did have an injury at the end of the season maybe they’re kicking the tires on um seeing if he would be available uh next
Year early on we don’t know you know we talked to Dan Miller yesterday um and it’s a two-way street um just because they’re bringing a guy in doesn’t mean they’re absolutely going to offer him a contract we just don’t know uh they want to put eyes on them we don’t know but at
The same time you know it’s Detroit Detroit is very meticulous about the guys they bring in the guys that they sign the guys that they keep they want them to be guys and the fact that they he even has an interview with Detroit the fact that he was even in the
Building I think they speak volumes one of it yes and I agree with Dan take nothing away from Dan Miller said part of it is you want to get him in you want to see The Specialist you want to see the trainers you want to see the staff
So they can kind of see where he is see where he’s at with his body but they want him in the building because they want him absolutely they want him in the building because they want him to be a member of the Detroit Lion so there’s no doubt yeah 100% so
Keep an eye on it it’s they don’t mince words they don’t mince visits so keep an eye he’s in the building for a reason I I think they don’t leave they don’t first of all are you guys are you guys proud of me I didn’t ask a JJ question
No no you’re good man I am proud of you I am proud of you I got a text from easy last night by the way easy and you can listen to easy what did easy say um you know 5 to seven live or anytime he congratulated J he did yep easy gave me
Some love yeah he texted me last night he said hey you got to find the clip months ago when you said JJ was going number one you got to find the clip the kid knows his everybody thought you were crazy if he goes three M that’s a win
That’s huge win that’s a win if he goes that buys you out of the Malik will is forever I think it does it does now me I’m still stuck with them you’re you’re in the SW still stuck with you’re in the swamp got the M Le Willer still
Absolutely there you go absolutely it’s so funny though like Ryan like you know not to blow smoke you know not to to continue to patch you on back but you have a lot of really good takes hon will have more votes than Walker the lions in terms of what their record would have
Been two years ago in terms of what the Lions 10 wins for the Lions when they had nine what the Lions winning the championship beating Ohio State we both had first time the first time yeah you had that one oh the first season you said Michigan was going to go 11 to1
They were going to lose to Michigan state they’re going to beat Ohio State I was like that’s particular but and it happened so you got a lot of good ones this J this JJ will be the one though like it takes three years in the business right to get going and get the
Rep I think this JJ will be the one that has a tied turn and you’ll start with a clean rep I think the Pistons takes are good for you too you call three huge wins for the Pistons out of the blue out of the blue like they were losing 28 in
A row you’re like it’s a win tonight they what you also said how bad would it be if the Red Wings go in the tank and fall out of contention won since they have not won since they have not won s they have not won since I I knew and we
Actually shout out to Big D energy I just ran into Neil Ru and Darren McCarthy but I talked to dmac I said you guys lost to the coyotes and this is when you know like like high school building exactly you know like Max obviously four time Stanley Cup he’s a
Legend love ma like when you piss a legend off like you’re effing up right herez he was like you know I BR I had to go at Kane and I had to go at uh the pr and tell him they just just not playing good he’s pissed oh my God like he’s
Like he’s hot that that Phoenix KY excuse me they changed their name that Arizona coyote game it pissed a lot of real W RNG fans off and just move him just move him to Quebec get the hell out of there it’s a failed experiment I cannot wait until the New York Giants
Trade up to take JJ McCarthy now did you hear Ari he says they’re still going to roll with with Daniel Jones I read we read the other day yeah that they were cut and bait with them doesn’t Minnesota have to trade up to get a quarterback I
I’m telling you they’re getting one too I thought JJ was going to them he’s not going to be on the board at 11 there’s no way JJ McCarthy’s on the board at 11 there’s no way somebody trades up after getting those two guys it’s it’s going to be very it is I
Can’t wait for the draft I wish the Lions had a top 10 pick though this free agency this free agency stuff is great but there’s nothing to me like the draft there’s nothing like the draft you know the Super Bowl it is it’s the Super Bowl of Detroit right fantastic used to be

Together brillan Edwards is nominated for the Michigan Sports Hall of Fame we would love it if everybody could take a minute Pete will put the link in the chat I will uh it is attached to all of our Twitter accounts I believe as well
Uh you got to vote so brilin can go in give briland a 10 um that would be absolutely fantastic Edward pause pause on that pause on the 10 I’m not taking no tens oh man it was just a joke joke I I I go to increase my humor level a little bit
Little bit uh we got a brilin top 10 list as well we’ll get that in a little bit uh but first want to go around the NFL some news and notes Tom naway sir uh yesterday it seemed Calvin Ridley was going to stay with Jacksonville and there was another team involved as well
But it wasn’t the Tennessee and the Tennessee Titans went out and trumped everyone and threw four years and $92 million at Calvin Ridley this is the same team that told Antonio Brown to take a walk when they traded him two years ago on draft night to the Philadelphia Eagles he wanted four years
100 million back then and he was 26 this kid this guy’s 29 uh Bray what did they do wrong here look man stupid teams do stupid things like like at the at the same time like look AJ Brown was a monster three years ago we knew that they didn’t want to
Sign him they let him go and look at the year he had with the Philadelphia Eagles and then look at how we doubl down in the first eight games of last year but they wanted to get Tryon Burks how’s that working out for you same team that
Went on pay Ryan tanah Hill same team let Kevin ber go same team that just got rid of Mike Vel same team that did all those things just sign Calvin rley a guy that look he came back last year it does take a year to get going this is a guy
That I wanted for the Detroit L but not 4 years 92 million not at all not at all what I paid for him dumb teams they do dumb things and they stay at the bottom and and look and I love this franchise y’all know my dad played for the Oilers
You know he goes back every week to the Oilers Titans reunion but with that said they’re idiots cuz ain’t no way hell I’m signing C I’m really four years 92 million will Lis has a guy to throw to now will Lis has a backup now too they
Signed Mason Rudolph as well yeah I I thought uh in Mason R Rudolph’s side look you made the mistake by not signing AJ brown or or keeping AJ Brown you made the mistake but you got to get some wide receiver and he was the beneficiary of
Being the best wide receiver in the free agent Market uh available you know to get paid and did you overspend on that like four years you know maybe you you probably did but you had to make sure you got a player like it’s ridiculous you know the happiest guy about this is I’m
100% if you’re paying him 23 what are you paying me 23 million a year like this what is going on 23 million dollar a year for a, jeon get and eight touchdowns L have mercy they’ve been talking about him trying to go to the Bengals but I know just bringing
Upow but again nuts you have million you have to get a receiver and and kudos to the Titans in this respect you do have uh a pretty decent what you believe is is a franchise quarterback in will Lis whether we think so or not I like him
Whe whether we think he’s a franchise quarterback or not you at least have to give him a chance I will but I’ll tell you something else dumb they did they signed Tony per guess who Tony per is he’s the same running back that they already have in Taj Spears out of two
Lane they wouldn’t sign him for $8 million they’re just throwing money at the wrong things in my opinion all right we got the Bengals secet about them DJ readers in here he’s a former Bengal so the Bengals went out and got a replacement for him already and they got
A pass rusher Sheldon ranking two years 25 26 million so he gets 13 a year to rush the passer for ciny yeah he’s more of a pass rush guy on the outside but I mean look same thing they got rid of DJ reader is a defensive tackle maybe
They’re more worried about those quad tears than the Detroit Lions are because he’s toring both of them shocking Detroit Lions once somebody’s injured yet again but he’s toring both qu’s on the cheap that that is an interesting thing he’s definitely on the cheap but is it somebody that you want because as
Mike tanom always tells us when you get hurt it’s only a matter of time before you get hurt again so they may want to let that one go yeah I mean Cincinnati and Cincinnati feels like I know they were your sexy Super Bowl pick last year
Cincinnati feels like a team that a lot of people are sleeping on um I like Cincinnati T hi Jo got hurt yeah t Higgins uh has requested a trade I don’t know if that’s going to work out but if he is out there on the open market I
Think there’s a number of teams out there would be willing he get 23 million Calvin really thank you Ryan if Calvin’s getting 23 T Higgins is around 26 to 27 well did you see what they get what the Colts paid Michael Pitman uh yeah he got franchise Michael Pitman no
They gave him a new contract three years 70 million and he’s done what 70 million for Michael Pitman to stay with Indianapolis I’m not a hater at the end of the day the price is supposed to go up the price has gone up I’m not a hater
Just there’s only two people I haed on and you know who those two people are played for the Lions and then went to the uh Giants that was uh that was our boy I can’t Kenny G oh my gosh well I mean look be the only time I ever was
Like what like any other even the Christian Kirk I’m like hey kudos to you but Kenny G man I was like come on I need to put M cleats back on right uh there’s no doubt about it so um I don’t know that Kenny G I think rubbed a lot
Of people the wrong way and that was one of the smart things that the Detroit Lions actually did I think they knew EXA exactly what they were giving up when they let him walk and this is a player that wasn’t even in the League last year
How did BR how does that work when you have a guy so talented yeah that you know you show something so significant in one respect but in the other respect you you’re not even in the league at at a certain point this is how does that
Happen this is how it happens the first thing is look at Kenny G’s pattern look at in college the schools he went to the small schools he went to the Jo that he went to then he eventually goes to um Northern Illinois I do believe got to the Lions hardworking guy under golden
Tay under Marvin Jones he’s busting his butt to try to make the team try to make the squad starts making plays all of this in this time Ryan you’re working hard you’re not taking no for an answer you got to go the long rout so you’re working hard and hard and hard you’re
Putting in the time you’re putting in effort you’re getting better you’re getting better you’re getting better then along the way you start to have some success he had success with the Detroit lons even think he had thousand yard a year and now someone tells you you’re good now someone tells you you’re
Going to make an altern in the proo now you don’t work as hard now you believe you have arrived now you know put the same film study time in Ryan and then and then you get lucky you talking about right place right time he was in the right place right time in
202020 or 20221 cuz the Giants was like hey we need a wide receiver you seem to fit the bill we’ll give you $20 million a year right place right time and now Ryan you really think you’ve arrived you got $20 million and you haven’t done anything you fleeced the system now you’re really
Not working hard now you’re not catching 100 200 passes day in the offseason now you’re not running now you’re not working out now you get lazy now the game passes you bu people see that you’re not working and then when the team gets rid of you after two years of
$20 million and one touchdown everybody else can see the writing on the wall he don’t work he don’t put in the time he’s not somebody we want to around our players and now you sitting at home trying to find yourself a new team people see it it happens all the time
When you stop lacking that motivation and you stop working come and shell yourself and it’s over I’m going to put you on the spot here and I know I’m going down a a wiggly Road here but it’s just an interesting conversation to me because for a guy that you know wish
Grew up your whole life you wish you could play professional uh Sports what about players how many of those guys and is there a guy that jumps out to you that had all the talent in the world but just couldn’t put it together and was
Out of the league or you you you see a player sitting next to you in the locker room and he’s so freaking talented and you know his talent has gotten him through college has gotten him drafted into the NFL has put him in a position
Uh to play a role on an NFL Squad and you just see him and he doesn’t love the game he doesn’t put the work in and doesn’t take care of himself and before you know it that guy has fizzled out is out of the league is how many of those
Guys are out there percentage wise on an NFL team one and two is there a player that jumps out at you and and that’s me putting you on the spot a little bit if you’re not comfortable answering that question that’s fine but um how many of
Those guys are out there been been on spot my whole life um you know one player just saw me is veran go and veran G is actually home state got Detroit guy yeah but yeah Detroit Detroit cash Tech uh Veron go know his family great dude but got drafted the fifth overall
To the New York Jets man and he had been just kind of he had been escaping off the look like he looked like Tarzan from time he was probably like nine years old I mean like he was swo huge Paul’s like like he’s just a big guy that people
Were scared of it worked for him in Ohio State it work for him at c tech when you come into the NFL Mar you got to put that work in this guy didn’t put the work in didn’t watch the film didn’t try to evolve as a player and you know it
Sucks but you know it didn’t work out for him he didn’t last long in the NFL there a it I don’t think there’s a ton of guys like that anymore because you have to work like guys are coming in I think more than ever guys are coming in
From the Collegiate level ready to take your job like back in the day like you know you were in NFL you were know three four year guy you you were cool you know you had some time you can buy some time you had some experience you had some
Some one-ups on these guys that were coming out of college they had to grow not now like guys are coming in out of college you know one two three years because of all the high school programs and the the 12 year old progr programs and then the work the nil I mean it’s
College football is professional football now so when guys are coming out they ready to rock and roll and so I think now you won’t see it as much cuz guys are trying to get paid and it’s you can get you can get to the back faster nowadays three years get paid you can
Come back three more years and get paid again so I don’t think you’ll see as much anymore but that’s how it used to happen once you make that money cats get unmotivated and they just get lazy it is wild um uh Joe FL by the way continuing
On with NFL news Joe Flaco um moves from Cleveland to Indianapolis he signs a one-year 8.7 million deal to join the Colts and be Anthony Richardson’s backup I think this is a really really solid move for the Indianapolis Colts who nearly were a fourth down conversion away from winning their division last
Year with Gardner muu at quarterback I think Joe flacko can give uh this quarterback room a lot of stability and I know Anthony Richardson is their guy the the very highly touted quarterback that they drafted number four overall from the University of Florida last year he looked tremendous early on in the
Season before uh going out with a season ending injury and then there was a quarterback Shuffle uh Gardner muu uh really did a nice job for that team but uh couldn’t convert a fourth down in short against the Houston Texans on the final Sunday of the NFL season uh so
They lose out on the division and the playoff spot by doing that but I think when you put a veteran like Flaco a guy that’s won the Super Bowl in a room with a player like Anthony Richardson I think that is a tremendous move and I think
You know if if you’re a lions fan that’s I think that’s what you wanted for so many years when Matthew Stafford was here give me a veteran backup to to play behind uh a young Matthew Stafford and and that that’s a winning what winning organizations do yeah 100% I think the
First thing you look at Anthony Richardson you got a guy that you bought in out of Florida this guy has all the athletic Talent he’s raw he has the arm he has the he has the energy he has he’s great at the podium he’s great when he
Talks I probably think he’s a really good teammate heard nothing but good things about him but he’s still raw he’s still trying to figure out last year he was supposed to start te’s ACL in uh the preseason I believe if not it was game one ter his ACL you want to have some
Stability and you look at a guy like Joe Flo can come in like you said help that room look he is a Super Bowl MVP quarter back he has won a Super Bowl he has won MVP you saw last year he was sitting at home raking leaves Ryan the man was
Sitting at home raking leaves at call him in and what does he do he gets the Cleveland Browns into the playoffs gets them into a playoff game and win I think 10 wins or 11 wins or whatever still has it he still has the mind he’s still
Sharp you want somebody that to work with a Young quarterback because you want a Anthony Rich to have a guy in the room that’s been there before but they have a guy that hasn’t just been there he’s been at the highest level I mean he’s a Super Bowl winner and Super Bowl
MVP so this bows well for them and 8.5 if it doesn’t work out with a rich if a rich is is just not it you can put him in there because you still have a good defense and you still have some weapons on offense you still can get to the
Playoffs that’s a very smart move by the coach all right we are going to take a break uh and when we come back we hope to have a surprise for you I’m not going to put it out there but we we hope to have a surprise for you uh in the
Meantime we’ve also got a brilin top 10 list uh so much to get to so much fun to have uh so we’ll take a break now but first a message from Pete [ __ ] all right gentlemen and ladies what happens when you see that black and yellow sign out in front of your house

Thing it is a top 10 Thursday top 10 Thursday what do we got today Bray yo we got a really good one today man I’m excited about this one oh thanks uh it hold on hold hold on Pete hold on Pete you got to set it up Jes we what’s
Happening in there got to come on Pete well don’t be trying to do a lot of things at once relax that’s never a good answer uh I forgot we’ve talked so much about the free agency Ryan and M we talked about what moves could get a team
Over the hump the Chris Jones get you a Super Bowl is it denil Hunter can get you super is it taking on the Jerry sneeze trade and then giving him a contract who’s the free agent that can get you over the hunt well this in my estimation in the modern Super Bowl era
These are the best free agent moves made in the NFL I thought we can go f or 10 to six and uh 5 to one but put them all up going 10 to one baby jam it jam it in there pause 100% all right here we go
Starting at 10 Curtis Martin now Ryan did not win the Super Bowl but three, yard seasons he had with the Patriots he reunites with Bill parcel’s in 1998 and guess what he does 7 more thousand yards of fame or no yes he does does that’s one of my really really really really
Really really big mentors it’s a person that I can call for anything he’s in the Hall of Fame H 10 straight Seasons with a thousand yards or more only one other player did that and he wore the Honolulu blue and silver Sanders man number nine Chris Carter leaves Philadelphia in 1990
Dick verm told Chris Carter I love you but you two into the other stuff to to the off the field things this is me saving your career Chris Carter was a addicted to drugs dick vermil fires him never touch drugs or alcohol again goes to the watch excuse me goes into the
Minnesota Vikings eight straight Pro Bowl seasons including 1996 he led the NFL and he was always right there in touchdown all he does is catch touchdown that’s all he does do catch touchdown I tell you like this and arguably the greatest hands in NFL history soft hands well he C he caught
Everything pause he caught everything he look now no pause he caught he caught it all uh number eight this one’s for MZ MZ tell me about John Riggins cuz he started off with your New York Jets but then he rumbled his way to wash with a mohawk didn’t didn’t last too long with
The Jets got to the Washington Redskins now the commanders won a Super Bowl and had one of the greatest playoff games of all time number seven told you is my favorite of all time it’s Charles Woodson Oakland Raiders he gets to the Packers first season eight interceptions
Ran back two of those for touchdowns 2009 he won defensive player of the year he win a Super Bowl with the Packers in 2010 yeah 100% he won a Super Bowl with the Packers he did and in his Seven Seasons with the Packers 38 interceptions let that sit in and he
Also did win a Super Bowl number six Dion Sanders free agency pickup you talking about picking up which time this is this is the 49ers time signs a one-year deal 49ers 94 what does he do eight interceptions ran back three for touchdowns wins defensive player of the
Year and they win the Super Bowl that was one of my favorite teams all time in fact I think it is my favorite team of all time the Lefty Steve Young and also he’s Prime Time number five this is recently Tom Brady yep the Tampa Bay Buccaneers pick Tom Brady up after we
Thought the career is over he retires he’s no longer with bich is it bellich is it Tom Brady well they won a Super Bowl first year with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers so I think it was Tom Brady not Bill bich one of the best preasent Acquisitions of all time sticking with
The quarterback position at number four it’s the St Louis Rams now the Los Angeles Rams St Louis Rams they pick up Kurt Corner out of a Arena League arena league football they sign him free agent and guess what they do they go on to become the greatest show on one man the
Greatest show on interesting one you made me watch that movie The American Underdog American story it was good it was cute movie I liked it yeah I liked it it was a cute movie it was it was exactly as you thought it would be it was it was great but corny like corny
Great ioy JN qu plays dick for Mill corny but good I enjoyed it number three sticking with the quarterback position Drew Breeze Drew Brees played with the Los Angeles Chargers a lot of people forget that actually played well for the San Diego Chargers then Matt Millan should have signed him messed his
Shoulder up and then that’s when he leaves signs to the Saints and Shawn Peyton and the rest is history Super Bowl champs I want to say in 2011 2011 don’t quote me on that I could be either way at two but you see and he was number two in all most statistical categories
Only behind Tom Brady number two the third place guy in all the statistical quarterback categories pay Manning pay Manning with the Broncos they pick him up after Jim aay says it’s a rrap he’ll never play again he’s not a good quarterback his neck is messed up he
Goes out there first year breaks every quarterback record 55 touchdowns 5,425 yards passing they get to a Super Bowl they got waxed they got waxed by Seattle but they got to the Super Bowl eventually they will win the Super Bowl uh him and Brock oswal kind of split
That time but they got a Super Bowl isn’t that the name of the game that’s the name of the game brillan Edwards super and another guy that left the Philadelphia Eagles in the early 90s Reggie White also known as the Minister of Defense already had a Hall of Fame
Career when he left Philly 68 and a half sacks he goes to the Packers and what does they do they win a Super Bowl in 1996 it’s crazy Desmond is that Super Bowl MVP Ryan but Reggie White had three sacks in that game sounds a little bit
Like that Ram Super Bowl I got screwed on by um uh Aaron Aaron Don over Cooper cup but it is what it is but you notice what everybody has in common like these I think these are the best great list I think these are the best free agent
Signs of all time but with the exception of one two with the exception of two guys who are 10 and nine everybody won a Super Bowl yeah like that’s the name of the game that’s what you’re trying to do when you when you sign $31 million to
This player or $30 million or $28 million and these ridiculous contracts you’re thinking that that player is going to be the piece that puts you over that’s what they’re advertised as and I think all these guys Riggins Woodson Sanders Brady Warner Breeze Manning white all Super Bowls and some in the
First year Ryan so there’s a couple of good ones can I give some honorable mentioned ones one I would have uh I would have added Dion Sanders twice oh to the Cowboys the Cowboys he he W another one want another one with the Cowboys so he did a lot of winning I
Would add Dion Sanders I think when you look at what Baltimore did in the late 90s early 2000s with Rod Woodson and Shannon sharp those two players uh were were really um I mean those were great players um and and that that’s really the only two I would add I mean um those
Are great I don’t really remember Jerry Rice in Oakland like what impact he had in Oakland Raiders first teamr pro in 2000 2003 first team R Pro he took over for Tim Brown like Tim Brown was just on the team at that point but the only
Thing about that R I agree with you like those are major signings Ryan Woodson’s arguably the best complete secondary player of all time him and Ronnie lot probably go back and forth and Charles Woodson put him in that category but the guys you’re talking about they added value to the team these
Guys were either offensive player of the year Defensive Player of the Year Super Bowl MVP like they were the the top the elite the elite Shannon sharp had amazing like like what’s the word I’m looking for like a u a co-star you know what I’m saying like a like a like
Co-star type player these players are MVP like Tom Brady threw 5200 yards in that Super Bowl campaign I mean pton Manning what he did for the Broncos he brought them back along with Von Miller but yeah these are some good ones in here all right good stuff BR uh Hey feel
Free to agree or disagree with the top 10 list have some fun with it as some people are in our Woodward sports.com YouTube chat uh we appreciate those comments hey coming up next we’re going to be joined by our good friend uh from um he’s just the greatest guy in the

Hour in but to be honest driving here yeah the clarity of what I was seeing was was better okay you know they say it helps with everything so just to back it up a little bit to understand what I did it’s called exosomes FDA is fighting
With what what do we want to do to you know to put it out there it’s being done very cosmetically no big deal we’re doing it in the joints but now we’re starting to do it IV so IV is always obviously the most effective way to do
Certain things so what it is the way to describe it to the viewers is that it’s like a messenger it’s the messenger the blood system so if you look at the red blood cells like we have all these cells in our body it enhances and creates
Better messaging so what I had which is probably we want to say is the best in the country or best in the nation right now is that we have day Zero so it’s being taken from what we call Wharton’s jelly we talked a little bit about it so
As the baby’s born there’s the placenta and all the leftover cells that are in that placenta we’re not throwing it away anymore because it’s so valuable so these are considered Day Zero cells so when you think about it we think about it from a physiological standpoint when a baby’s born right it’s
Amazing the whole what the body actually does to form a baby it’s all these cells so it’s not just you we talk about stem cells I’ve talked about stem cells for a long time these are now The Messengers which are telling the stem cells what to
Do so we still have it as we grow but when you look at a baby first of all you’ve formed a baby by all these crazy cells that just starting to understand and the reason we’re starting to understand is because of the microscope we can start seeing these things it’s at
A nanometer so what the heck is a nanometer nanometer is one/ 100th of a hair follicle I don’t know if I’m getting too technical right now I’m fascinated actually to be honest with you so it it’s seeing things you’re seeing millions and millions of these cells so just think of like millions of
Troops just going to work and they’re building kidneys and they’re building eyeballs and they’re build like that’s the baby but when you think about a baby the most aggressive growth is in the first year of life it’s because all these cells are working and where are all these cells found they were found
Leftover in the placenta so the placenta is your your pathway your your your home your you know what you live in as a baby so now we’re taking these cells and injecting some old guy meaning me and we have the like a new like it’s like new
Energy it’s like you have those new cells those brand new cells that are working instead of my old cells that are working on it day today and saying screw you we’re done we’ve already done these things you’ve been a doctor for a long time obviously how much have you seen
The growth in medical advancement I I mean from I I feel like as a doctor as a consumer let me start there as a consumer I feel like technology makes my head spin so fast it’s just moving so fast I feel like I have a hard time
Keeping up as a doctor when you are inundated with all of these advanced in your profession how do you go about that you know whether you’re an athlete and you’re trying to get an athlete back on the field quicker if you’re trying to just get a regular person back up and
Moving quicker um what are you seeing as far as just how quickly medical advancements like even something like like like you just uh got an iv in your arm today I mean it is it the advancements are crazy the technolog is crazy the information’s coming the way
You share like you had inant stitutes in Oxford you know over over the pond and here at Mayo Clinic and all that and these guys were all working individually now everybody’s consolidating there they have all that knowledge and just the microscope the technology to look and
See what it is like I I just gave a lecture to a large group of therapists a couple weeks ago and I started the lecture with how arrogant were we that we thought just plain blood like blood was the only way to circulate and your and your spine was the only way nervous
System that’s how we track like when you think about how much is going on within this well I keep saying the nanometer but it’s so much is going on within your system I mean what what device self-heals promotes grows hair you know reproduces people you can spit you can
You know what we can do like the way I’m talking with my hands you know it’s a the body is just amazing and for us to understand it we still hav we still haven’t tipped anything of the iceberg yet the brain we don’t even know how the
Brain works we’re working with don’t we only use like 10% of our brain anyway some some wish they somebody wish they could use 10% of their brain I heard see I heard I heard that was a myth I heard no it’s not a myth it I heard I the 10%
Thing was a myth there’s a small percentage of the brain that we’re actually utilizing you can use you can you can tap into certain certain parts of the brain like more than when you’re using that part you just can’t use the whole brain at the same time correct the
Brain development like if you develop a child just think just think about the Simplicity of learning a language right Us in America are the dumbest people as far as the languages right we know one language for the most part you start talking to people that know four or five
Different languages do you realize how much more development their brain is H handling to be able to switch back and forth I mean just just the development of the brain just for language is we’re we’re not we’re utilizing more parts of our brain to do that to be able to
Switch back and forth doc we got a breaking news while you’re here Ryan you want to break that um yes here we go we got it breaking news veteran defensive tackle DJ reader has agreed to a two-year deal with the Detroit Lions how about that that is from Tom peliso uh
Ian Rapaport and Mike G uh so there you go you’ve got your man uh DJ reader to the Detroit Lions on a 2-year deal we believed once they got him in the building brailin uh this was a situation they were not going to let him leave Dr
Pierce let me come to you perfect gu to be sitting in that chair look on the spot of breaking news on the spot of breaking news he had an injured quad he was out at the end of last year how long and again we don’t know the intricate
Details of this particular quad injury in general is there way to share with the people what recovery from a quad injury looks like how long it takes C it off the field at the end of last year you know um what will that recovery look like for DJ reader I mean pretty much
First of all where is the quad does everybody understand where the quad is let the people know right knee we we’ll get we’ll get brayan’s quads out because they’re the biggest ones quad is under the hip flexor before the VMO that leads you to the knee okay can we simplify
That please it’s from it’s from the hip to the knee on the front part of your leg there you go as opposed to your hamstring which is on the back but this is someone who’s been working with a lot of muscle and understanding it basically it’s the biggest muscle it’s the most
One of the most powerful muscles and the body and when you start talking about we need to know where it was torn if it’s a midbelly tear we don’t worry so much because that’s going to heal you’re going to get the healing you’re going to get what we call hypertrophy you’ll get
Thickening of the muscle around it if there’s a complete tear then that muscle is going to be gone it’s going to atrophy away but everything else thickens around it and you create that strength usually with alignment and things of his nature where he’s got to be powerful for short periods of time he
Should be able to overcome like I said before I mean if this guy’s injured you said he injured his uh his opposite leg prior he’s recovered to that you know hopefully you should see nothing you know he should have a full recovery and be as powerful as ever because I would
Think this guy’s in a new two-year contract he’s going to work harder he’s probably been working hard in the off season because he knew his contract was up so I think this guy should have no issues this isn’t like an ACL or a shoulder injury this is a big quad
Muscle that she should be able to compensate for Fairly easily and shouldn’t lose any step if he’s if he’s committed to playing the game pretty great stuff brillan I mean I I mean I love it you know I’m just I think we’re jaded here I feel like guys have come to
Detroit Lions have been injured and they’ve gotten injured again Emanuel mosy is probably the biggest sign of it yet they signed him again I think you got to start looking at some things the Cincinnati Bengals they don’t sign DJ reader back but yet and still they go out getting Sheldon rink uh Sheldon
Rankins to replace him and pay him two years $26 million so although I’m excited to have DJ reader because I think there’s a lot of upside there I think this is a very meticulous move by Brad Holmes in terms of doing your homework seeing the ability when he’s
Out there on the field but I’m just a little cautious I understand that he’ll be better doc but here we are again with another injured player it just seems like that is the way and I trust Brad Holmes I made a whole spill excuse me there you go I made a
Whole spill about trusting Brad Holmes over the last two days but this is one thing the injured player thing is the one that sticks in my craw and I wish every player that it seems like we pick up they have something they’ve been injured you know I don’t mind you
Missing three games Ryan made a great point yesterday you get the 14 games I think that’s now going to be considered normal it’s going to be like the NBA like if you can make it to 66 games hell you played the whole season in the NBA
60 realistically so 14 is fine when you start getting these guys that are missing 12 and 13 and 14 games that’s when my intendance start to per up so Tom peliso rap report Mike Garo break the news DJ reader to Detroit on a two-year deal Jordan Schultz from
Bleacher Report says that deal is 2 years up to 27. 25 million so um that is the first uh person I’ve seen out here give a financial uh commitment from the Detroit Lions uh all the the other NFL uh reporters have said just two years no money yet Jordan Schultz Bleacher Report

Good Woodward Sports funny nowadays I like I saw the tweet from Tom peliso but you had to check I looked yes the blue check mark wasn’t even enough anymore I I spelled out pisaro name and then I looked at the amount of followers he had all you do is
Like put the arrow up on Tom’s name and you it’ll pop up and then I was if it’s the real one or not and then I was like okay this is Tom peliso yes it’s not the New York porch the New York porch how many times the New York porch has burned
Tom maway and uh but M I give you a chance to comment on the pretty big news huge news that’s great man and EAS texted me right away he’s like running around in his house jumping up and down he’s screaming I can’t wait for the heavyweights to
Come on and and rap about their fellow heavyweight joining the Lions uh hey it’s another addition you heard Dr Pierce he feels that the quad will heal the other one healed let’s hope he’s right and let’s hope that you said it was 27 million to the max that means
They’re probably giving him 12 a year I would say 24 million for two years and then you know how they had all those escalator bonuses they always tell you this is what you can make up to so that’s the most they spent on somebody
In a while so uh you know for a two-year deal I say teny Carson Davis is getting 14.5 for one but to your point in a two-year deal it is look at the end of the day I just hope he’s healthy if he stays healthy this is a damn good pick
Up for them he’ll be alongside Al mcel two guys in the middle you put those two big guys in the middle Justin Houston comes back this season hopefully he can be shades of what he was two years ago and then Aiden Hudson taking that year three leap they keep adding depth I
Think that’s what you seeing out of Detroit line especially on defensive side of the ball they’re adding depth they’re letting you know we are addressing the issues that we had look there’s some good moves and maybe not done Stefan Gilmore is another one that they may add they have the money for
Sure to add that so like we said yesterday got relax sit back you got to let the mass scientist does what he does what he do and let’s be honest for a second Isn’t it nice to have a couple of guys where hey all you need to do is get
Here if you’re in the building you ain’t leaving yeah we said that I mean you ain’t leaving you you you get get around these guys for 30 seconds you’re like yeah this is where I want to be yep I’m good get the deal done amen get the deal
Done I love it and the words on the word’s out man yep the word’s out this place it ain’t what it used to be no this is a place where you want to come and and grow they got the draft this year just and 41 days away and sky the
Limit after that well this used to be the place where the players used to win and then came here to get their payday uh now it’s they come here to win they’re all pro it deals they’re all on uh probably could get way more on the open market somewhere else but they want
To be here so we’ll see what it is uh great stuff to today uh great stuff Tom Ma I know you were working hard there last half of the show Pete as well thank you and Pete as well uh we couldn’t get our surprise on but we will yeah we will

Gogo braylon
Well deserved to you my brother Braylon Edwards!…GO BLUE!
Yeeeeaaaaaaasssss!!!! DJ mfn Reader!!
MC Hammer is the best dancer 😊
I trust the real doctor, not Braylon!!!
13 million a year for a 20 million dollar player!!! Nice, welcome to the Lions Mr. D.J. Reader!!! Love it!
Just straight dancing, Mike doesn't touch Chris Brown. I mean, he probably did before but thats besides the point.
I don't want to see Dan leave but wouldn't he be a great college coach? Dealing with younger kids and the roster turning over regularly? I get worried in the NFL that guys start to tune the rah-rah shh out.
It's funny that Chicago is going to rightfully take a QB for the fear of missing out like they have so many times and they're going to pick Caleb who will for sure bust. I've watched plenty of tape, he not that good. So glad they're not going to ruin JJ at least.
Whoa, James Brown smashes Michael Jackson and Chris Brown AND CAN DANCE BETTER.
Reader an' all, Graham "The Anvil" Glasgow is the best signing this off-season so far. Bar None!!! 😁
i deleted a comment regarding the doctor at 1:39:00. but i had to literally turn off the show. please dont dive into using day 0 baby parts to simply "feel better" ever again……….. this is a sports show….
