Thank you to everyone who has been reaching out to support us at
@PrideOfDetroit
PODcast. We're still figuring things out. But the live stream was such a wonderful feeling of pride in this community.
For those who want to support me for the short term:
Jim Jordan's questions for Roger Goodell
"Why do you ban Dave Portnoy from NFL games?"
"Do you agree with the Washington Redskins decision to fine Jack Del Rio 100,000?" (it's not the "Redskins" any longer)
if you do a "Lions should have rested" monday morning quarterbacking because LaPorta goes down then I'm just not going to respect you going forward
The game is for seeding. Every other NFL team plays starters
PRO-TIP: You can stop a Gen-Xer dead in their tracks by playing any track off the Nirvana MTV Unplugged album. They will gain a paralyze debuff for 15 seconds
So Hamilton is slow, Thibodeaux isn't a culture fit, Hutchinson won't be there at

, Walker is overhyped, Willis is an unpolished reach.
Let's go baby this is it, the ultimate Lions doomer draft
Please wishlist my new game KingMakers on Steam. We've been working really hard on this for 5 years, and can finally unveil it to the public today. Hope you guys like it 🤞
can't even upload the goodbye

seems to have already locked me out of Megaphone.
Very cool.
Going to go unplug for a while. You can find un-edited versions on our YouTube and Twitch pages.
My latest piece on
@PrideOfDetroit
is a confession, a coming forward. I have experienced a great pain in my past, and for that reason I deeply pray that the Lions do not draft Micah Parsons.
Please read:
I'm overwhelmed by the support, really I cannot thank Lions fans enough.
I'm going to try to get to everyone who has reached out to me because you deserve it, and I'll be sure to get content out soon, just taking some time to get the feelings out
None of you Lions fans wanted to see that. Yeah it'd be at home but it'd be an unbearable week of nonsense dealing it out with Packers fans. You want to be the best, you wanna beat the best. Beat Tampa, beat SF, beat ????
Pack was always poseur town
The NFL fined

RB Jamaal Williams $18,566 again for excessive sexiness – excuse me, unsportsmanlike conduct – as a result of his hip-swiveling TD dances in last Sunday night’s win over the
#Packers
.
No flags were thrown.
putting Jared Goff back in the game at this point actually makes sense. Just like when you make your kid smoke the whole pack when you catch him. No escape for this sin
I meet a lot of guys out west who don't comprehend how many possible Lions fans there could be. They don't even understand our podcast download numbers. It seems alien to them.
It was all just waiting for neuron activation.
Sources: NFL suspended 5 players, including
#Lions
WR Jameson Williams, for violations of NFL gambling policy.
#Lions
’ CJ Moore & Quintez Cephus, plus
#Commanders
' Shaka Toney, are suspended indefinitely (at least 1 year). Williams & DET’s Stanley Berryhill are suspended 6 games.
I genuinely could not see a NFL quarterback ever saying this kind of stuff about a teammate, any teammate, no matter how down bad they were.
You want to be a pro but you won't act it? Ok man
You can read Ben Johnson's return in a lot of ways, and he certainly isn't beholden to just take any job, although it's extremely so in his interest before too long
But what it is, it's an incredible win for Dan Campbell's culture.
Detroit is a place people want to be. To win.
They said you were bust 9
They said McFlurry and burgers ain’t it 9
They said you can’t catch 9
They said you were a waste of a pick 9
You showed them 9 ❤️
Never going to forget how this man wanted to come back on the
@PrideOfDetroit
podcast a second time just to ask us what we thought our Hogwarts houses would be.
Good luck out there my guy stay swaggy
I just wanna say thank you to all the Detroit fans and everybody apart of the hidden village of the den 🙏🏾 I’ve grown a lot just from those two years and i appreciate every experience I had with every person I came to encounter while I was there.
The Bengals hadn't had a winning record in 13 years before Marvin Lewis came to town, but to watch Lions Twitter melt down over a rumor, you'd think the team just announced it was going to hire Charlie Weis as the head coach
Some BIG
#Lions
rumors swirling tonight about the head coaching job:
- Robert Saleh’s interview doesn’t go well
- Pat Fitzgerald in play
- Marvin Lewis impressed Detroit
@DetroitOnLion
breaks down the latest here:
No matter what happens with the playoffs, Dan Campbell won a division title in Detroit.
I know people have minds made up about coach of the year but think of all the names who failed to do that
I don't think I'm going to stop shaking until Christmas day. Cardiac cats lived up to the name, the promise and the hope. Playoffs next. It feels so damn cool. It's so damn fun.
The
#Lions

His agent, Kevin Conner of

The NFL is reinstating
#Lions
WR Jameson Williams and
#Titans
OL Nicholas Petit-Frere effective Monday -- two weeks before their gambling suspensions were set to end, per sources.
This is part of the newly agreed to policies related to gambling.
Sour moods will probably remain for a while between Stafford and Detroit. That's tbh a tale as old as time with the Lions and QBs. The path to come back to the fold is there, Barry and Megatron took it
But rest assured, antagonism was on both sides, not just Lions fans booing
This year felt special from the beginning for the Lions. The mood, the vibe, the people involved, the fans buying in.
It felt special because it IS special. It's a promise being fulfilled. And it's still going on.
Live in this moment
ok I'm disappearing from social media until I feel like my heart can take it.
Thanks everyone. See you for

Excuse the thread.
Here's how 2021 has treated us here on the

- 1.2 million downloads this year
- 27k - 30k unique listeners each month
- over $20,000 raised for charity during Movember
- Partnered on Twitch

Listen I don't mind that you spammed this at me 4 times on 4 different posts and called me a moron but it's just rude and lazy to do it without rotating the image even once. It's not that hard to do
Giving this to Lions Twitter: seeing most of them handle this game pretty well!
No sarcasm, you've all accepted what the Patricia era is at this point. I salute you
