Pride of Detroit: for Detroit Lions fans

The season of Training Camp is upon us, a dire and terrible season indeed. Football is, as Jeremy would say, almost back, and it's time to discuss what happens at training camp, the Detroit Lions one. Jeremy and Ryan, with help from Chris, discuss what to expect from training camp, the nature of joint practices and the fights that happen at those events. Chris hits the other two with rapid fire qu...

With deadlines looming, the Lions have signed Ezekiel Ansah to a one-year franchise tag, as expected. No long term deal is expected. Is this what the Lions want for the defensive line? Jim Brandstatter, the 30-year color commentary for the Lions Radio Network, has been let go, and in comes Lomas Brown. These lead headlines for a PODcast that sees Chris get really mad at Ryan for creating the worst...

It wouldn't be July without a conversation about where players rank among the all-time greats. Two incidents this week in Lions fandom as Calvin Johnson comes in at #18 among all-time wide receivers, and Cowboys fans argue that Emmitt Smith was a better running back than Barry Sanders. Ryan and Chris, minus Jeremy, discuss the matters, and also LISTCAST their top ten pass rushers of 2018. Wayback...

It's a proud tradition of the Pride Of Detroit PODcast to establish the run game. To that end, the time has come, in July, to rank running backs! What should be a clear-cut venture turns into a wild ride as Chris takes a leap with a young TItans running back and the top five isn't exactly as clear cut as you think. In the Wayback Machine, the gang wonders how the Lions were able to lose to the Ste...

In the dead of June, it's time to LISTCAST. Jeremy, Chris and Ryan put together their top 10 cornerbacks. Chris tries to update the format and it goes out the window. In the Wayback Machine, a look back at the Saints game, where Stafford outgained Drew Brees by over a hundred yards and the Lions still lost. A house of horrors. Howver, not all has changed - one factor on the Lions team still remain...

Could the Lions have snagged Rob Gronkowski from the Patriots? That's the latest trade rumor that gets discussed in the offseason around these parts. The wayback machine fires up to take you to 2017 when the Panthers and Lions squared off in what was a dire sign of things to come. But more importantly, LISTCAST is back with positional rankings! We start with wide receivers, and Chris might not be...

Ryan missed the PODcast, the unthinkable scenario. It leaves Jeremy and Chris to tackle this one. Jeremy rattles off the winners and losers of rookie minicamp, and Chris says a name wrong. They take a look at last year's Lions @ Vikings victory, and discuss why this game brought false hope to Lions fans and where that might have come from. What would the game have looked like if Dalvin Cook stayed...

New revelations come to light about Calvin Johnson's retirement from Detroit. Chris discusses what it means to having a "winning culture," and part of that comes with treating players - even those who are quitting - right. Jeremy has an issue with how Rod Wood has been in the news, far more than a team president should probably be. Then it's a wayback machine jump back to a question of a ten secon...
