00:05Demetrius and Flint is on the record with his prediction 55 wins for the Pistons he thinks the Sixers will
00:12be the Rams of the East
00:13the New York Knicks take a step back loves the chemistry this young core as he put it the opposite
00:18of hang another year on him
00:20is hang another year of experience on a young team he likes the depth and the shooting of this team
00:26how good do you think this Piston team will be get your predictions in we're live at LCA it's opening
00:30day went out there and checked out the the scene they got t-shirts on every seat so fans are
00:35going
00:35to be here today are going to get the shirt and uh they got quite a show planned Piston Celtics
00:39three
00:39o'clock here at LCA so the previous caller's name was Demetrius right yes correct is it just me or
00:46does the name Demetrius automatically come with some credit like I feel like you like that name
00:51it sounds like an athlete's name I think uh I think if you ever um settle down the fast lifestyle
00:59get married and have a kid I think you should look at Demetrius as a name for a boy or
01:04a girl
01:04not looking away from it okay good 248-539-9797 we're getting very mixed reviews on the 3 p.m.
01:10start
01:11today some people think this could be a cool tradition others are are not down with it at all
01:15kiri duchene please on twitch just said do it every year they gotta they gotta do it every year
01:21and I had 100% think about going down and hanging out for it I was even thinking about it
01:25today but
01:26just as an excuse to leave work early uh others are saying no this is stupid well that's like one
01:32person said it actually used the term stupid 248-539-9797 additionally we've got the the lions
01:39out there all right do you agree with Dan Campbell this team is indeed ascending like they're about to
01:44take off uh that was his thought when he met with the media yesterday in fact he said he felt
01:49better
01:49about this team right now at three and two than he felt about his five and two football team a
01:53year
01:53ago when they hit the bye uh here's some of the feedback we got on that I call BS on
01:57Dan Campbell
01:58saying he feels better this year if you're five and two going into a bye week you're beyond confident
02:02versus going three and two with the worst defense in football it's from Mike in Birmingham well I'd have
02:07to go back and look at the injury situation going into the five and two remember last year
02:10it was uh you know Brian Branch and Kirby Joseph got hurt pretty quickly um so is that perhaps why
02:17I
02:17mean you're getting guys back at this point in time this year uh which coupled with the way that they
02:24looked in the last game gives you that good feeling why he thinks they're ascending I I tend to agree
02:31I'm not sure how much of that I agree I think this game against Green Bay is going to tell
02:34us a lot
02:35about who the Lions are but getting branched back is not a small thing for that defense
02:40the encouraging uh play at safety by Keith Abney I think that's that's that's nice to look at too
02:47DJ Wanham is looking like a very competent defensive end opposite of Hutch these are the things we look
02:53for but will they be able to cover Tucker Kraft the tight end are they going to be able to
02:59pick up the
02:59running back out of the backfield these are big things that the Lions have had issues with but
03:03you know the Packers aren't exactly the greatest running attack in the NFL that could help the
03:08Lions out too and Lions have arguably the best pass rush in the NFL and the Packers aren't very good
03:15at protecting Jordan Love he's always under duress he was under constant duress even in victory uh this
03:21past Sunday so we'll see if they can take advantage of that of their significant injuries only Kirby
03:26Joseph was out that was the Kansas City game the last game he played that came I believe two weeks
03:32before that bye so he um he was the only one that was that was out and lost um but
03:37you know that's
03:38a big loss and now they're getting a guy back as opposed to just getting used to life without
03:42somebody but uh Branch I don't think the Lions would bring him back if he wasn't close to 100%
03:46do you that's from Mike and Novi no I don't I think I agree with Dan Campbell though it wouldn't
03:52surprise me at all that he's been pestering them for a while to get back on the practice field I
03:56think
03:56the Lions did their their best to try to keep that at bay as long as possible until the finally
04:01doctors like no he's good they're gonna trust the doctors now maybe doctors in the NFL right now
04:06I don't know like get a little bit of a bad rap what's going on with uh I want to
04:11Philadelphia and
04:11Jalen Hurts but I want to tap the brakes here a little bit because there's a lot of medical experts
04:15out there on social media talking about people losing their jobs and I I don't know the first
04:22thing about how to treat blood clots but you're right um there are certain things where you make you
04:27raise your eyebrow I can't imagine an NFL team with a player not in a hey they might hurt it
04:34worse
04:35but what could be a life and death situation that's I I know that situation there's just no way right
04:41that's a bad situation uh coming back from the Achilles injury is is different fortunately uh and
04:49again you're watching last night front and center you've got George Kittle who's come back from a from a
04:55torn Achilles and he has not been slowed at all this season he looks great for people who missed
05:01it and I haven't been following the story so Kang and Gator if I get something wrong here they're
05:06over in London they get blood they notice blood clots there's an issue with blood clots on Jalen
05:11Hurts's lungs they tell him for safety don't sleep well I don't think they saw the the lung part
05:17until later okay they found blood clots before okay so they tell him don't sleep because it could
05:22be dangerous he plays in the game he stays up for 36 hours plays in the game with blood clots
05:27then flies back then they discover that he's got the now is that before or after they got on the
05:33plane because they said it might be dangerous to I don't know yeah I don't know it's it's a
05:37the timeline I think I think this one I'm gonna hold withhold judgment because a I you know
05:43not a medical expert and b I think they need to get a timeline of how everything went down
05:48that can be verified by Hurts himself yeah this is uh one to watch Kang anything else to add to
05:55that
05:57so it doesn't look good for you know perception wise right I mean I mean this sounds like I mean
06:03because you everyone falls back and I'm not a medical medical expert I'll trust the teams well
06:07that's a professional team in a billion dollar league that it sounds like they messed up man
06:12like hey you can play football just don't sleep does that make any sense in any world I can't imagine
06:17and but because they thought that at the time at least what the rationale was that movement
06:22actually might help him football I know I'm not yelling yeah I'm just saying no I got it
06:32yeah that's movement stationary but yeah no you can get hit by a six seven three hundred pound guy
06:37you'll be fine just don't sleep that how about take a walk take a look at Big Ben you know
06:41those
06:41things such an odd odd story but I'm gonna withhold judgment hopefully he's okay too I mean sure
06:46something that's career threatening and uh he's one of the really good guys in the NFL by all
06:51accounts an unnamed text right out branch will ever be the same player unless he's the first player
06:55in history to regain the same level of explosion after an Achilles tear does George Kittle look
07:00like he's the same George Kittle looks pretty good yep I know they're different positions and
07:03there's going to be different stresses but uh you know the bottom line is there are medical
07:08advancements and the Achilles I've done a lot of research on the Achilles because of the well I
07:14shouldn't say a lot I did when McKellis sure got hurt I went back and started really digging deep
07:19into how players came back from Achilles injuries and the history is not great but when did McKellis sure
07:25get hurt was that like a decade ago plus yeah and so there can be medical advancements we shall see
07:33well and with Brian Branch or stem cells involved and uh so that's right different kind of whatever
07:38regenerative procedure you're into uh what else do we got here unnamed texture they're getting better
07:46every week and have a mat have massive room to grow on defense and clean up a few things on
07:51offense I
07:51feel great about this team they they're mostly healthy too which is great they are ascending
07:58uh next text they've been descending since the NFC championship game three years ago it will continue
08:04this season well well that means they won't make the playoffs I I will say
08:11is it true that they descended the next year I mean I know they lost in the playoffs in their
08:16first
08:16game they went 15 and two man they went 15 and two with injuries to key players that knocked them
08:25out
08:25for much of the season like they lost Hutchinson halfway through that season and same thing with
08:29uh Lee McNeil yeah uh in that 15 and two year yet they still went 15 and two um and
08:36obviously they
08:37had their issues against the commanders in the playoffs which is regrettable uh Cameron and Ann Arbor
08:43writes in easy for you guys to like the 3 p.m start for the Pistons your day ends at
08:46two I go open
08:47I go to opening day every year for the Pistons I can't now Cameron I haven't even said I liked
08:52it

08:58be like a second opening day like they have with the Tigers obviously you don't like it Cameron and
09:03that's fine but have you ever taken a day off to go to Tigers opening day I I don't know
09:09if this is
09:09going to work I have no idea if this is I mean is it going to impact the impact the
09:15the TV ratings is
09:16it going to impact the the attendance here is it going to impact the bars and restaurants around here
09:20like they're all over the place now so I Cameron I have no idea I you have to google beer
09:26is it
09:28I'm not I'm not endorsing this I'm just intrigued as to whether or not this could become a thing
09:34and I'll tell you why I'm intrigued because opening day for the Tigers is just awesome it is a great
09:41tradition we have here maybe this can be the same thing but it's really up to the people
