    May 2 2025

    The Lions will know on May 14th what their 2025 schedule is and that seems to be the biggest concern with the fanbase. The road slate is absolutely brutal, with only one game against a team with an under 500 record from 2024. Yet, Detroit was perfect away from home last season. We talk about that and also Todd McShay commented on the Lions draft, and we give some love to the Pistons and have 2 Calls of the Day. #firstlisten

  • The Real Cost When Detroit Lions Lose GRIT—Can Dan Campbell Restore the Team’s Edge IN 2026?
    Apr 2 2026

    Detroit Lions face a pivotal offseason with quiet free agency moves and leadership changes. Can this team recapture the grit and edge that powered their NFC Championship run? Matt Dery examines Dan Campbell’s push for a tougher Detroit squad, the impact of losing veterans like Taylor Decker and Alex Anzalone, and why Penei Sewell and Jack Campbell are primed to become the new locker room leaders.

    Key topics include Sports Illustrated’s ranking of the Lions’ top free agent signing Cade Mays, reaction to Rod Wood controversies, and insider insight from Charles Robinson of Yahoo Sports on the 2024 NFL Draft’s limited talent pool. With questions swirling about offensive line upgrades and the team’s Super Bowl window, Dery explores whether Brad Holmes can make the right draft-day moves to keep Detroit atop the NFC North. Are the Lions ready to meet elevated expectations, or is turbulence ahead? #firstlisten

  • "PRECEDENT": Detroit Lions Face BACKLASH as Rod Wood Seizes Frank Ragnow’s Signing Bonus
    Mar 31 2026

    Detroit Lions face national backlash as Rod Wood publicly confirms the recouping of Frank Ragnow’s signing bonus, reigniting old wounds reminiscent of the Barry Sanders and Calvin Johnson sagas. Has tradition become the Lions’ biggest liability? Matt Dery questions the organization’s approach amid fierce criticism from across the NFL, including pointed reactions by Alex Anzalone and Jason Kelce.

    Dan Campbell’s “rebirth” theme for the roster brings optimism, but will it be enough to counter negative headlines and recent veteran losses? Discussion centers on the Lions’ cash strategy, player injuries, and missed opportunities at the trade deadline. Listener Cindy Williams asks if a bold move, like the Rams’ acquisition of Von Miller and Odell Beckham Jr., could have propelled Detroit into the Super Bowl. The episode also highlights fan reactions and explores what the future holds for core pieces like Jameson Williams and Jahmyr Gibbs. #firstlisten

  • SNUBBED: Taylor Decker CALLS OUT Detroit Lions—Dan Campbell DEFENDS Franchise Culture.
    Mar 30 2026

    Detroit Lions face scrutiny as Taylor Decker’s fractured relationship with the organization sparks debate. Poor communication and lack of respect for a ten-year team captain highlight an evolving culture under Dan Campbell. As Decker remains unreleased and disgruntled, fans question whether the Lions are balancing business decisions with loyalty. Is Detroit’s reputation at risk as veterans depart?

    Host Matt Dery provides sharp analysis on the Lions’ offseason priorities: Monroe Freeling emerges as a key draft target at left tackle, while edge help remains urgent for Aiden Hutchinson. Dan Campbell’s stance on joint practices, Rod Wood’s comments about average spending, and Brad Holmes’ roster strategy fuel speculation about Detroit’s ambition for the 2024 NFL season. Will the Lions’ approach to free agency and draft picks position them for championship contention—or leave fans demanding more? #firstlisten
