00:01got text coming in gonna read some of these and then we'll get
00:04into a Michigan Michigan State question and the latest the rumors what we're hearing about the Lions
00:08with the trade deadline quote I know you both
00:12like meat sticks I've seen you eat them from the back is crazy
00:17I know I let it go
00:19and I'm like huh people love that pause on the meat
00:24sticks fellas you've seen Jim and Johnny meat sticks from the back
00:27pause I have it says
00:32wait till Valenny gets a hold of that drop
00:35Wow John went from the only one who hated Caleb Williams in the
00:38draft to now talking MVP he has improved that
00:42much Lamar has all the leverage and will force the Ravens to cut
00:46him making him the NFL's biggest name free agent since Peyton Manning
00:51I don't know that spot so
00:53if they cut him there is an out after this year but I think
00:57his cap hit dead cap hit is like 75 million dollars that that doesn't do them any good no
01:04but it is a weird point where they're gonna miss playoffs back-to-back years he's gonna miss time
01:08back-to-back years even when they make the playoffs he's been a time ever four of the last six
01:12years
01:12and at the same time he's a two-time MVP and you're gonna do a hell of a lot worse
01:16initially
01:18but boy if I was draft if you're doing Baltimore radio you're going we picked the wrong guy we should
01:22have kept the coach yeah I can tell how big this Michigan Michigan State game is they have it on
01:27Peacock Ryan Downriver yep more on that in a minute Kevin and Dearborn Heights Michigan football always
01:33matters when you're a true fan this rivalry is important to me well sure it's important to me as
01:39well um and just about the before we get to the you know Michigan Michigan State rivalry um on the
01:45terms of the MVP if the Lions win the north this is from twitch okay and golf keeps playing the
01:50way
01:50he has it would be blasphemy if he wasn't a top candidate I think he'll be a top candidate I
01:55don't
01:55think he'll win yeah we got him about 12 wins I think you and I had him and I think
01:59the odds were
02:00for him was like plus 3,000 yeah I don't think the odds match what he he the runway he
02:06has in front
02:07of him they're going to end the year with these big heavyweight bouts and if he's landing haymakers
02:11and they do win this division you know he'll be a top five guy he's not a long shot but
02:16only one
02:17guy wins it right you know you could say value I love value but if it doesn't hit you get
02:22zero dollars
02:23right you know from a betting standpoint so oh and on the Packers you and I both have him at
02:29eight
02:29wins that's the genesis of the meat sticks I was going through it and the only wins I have
02:33Green Bay winning the rest of the way Tom I have him beating New Orleans Miami and beating Houston
02:39because they're playing at Lambeau Field on January 4th they'll get one of these division games well I
02:44think the Bears I think the Bears will even them up right because the Bears lost the first meeting
02:48I think by the week 18 meeting with the Lions they won't have anything to play for so I think
02:52they
02:52actually lose both games to Detroit and what's the other one Minnesota you think they'll beat
02:57Minnesota the wild card they can't run the ball that's the kryptonite you guys watch this league
03:02like things happen and they're a good team they're not a great team I think nine and eight's on the
03:07table did you watch them play the Lions and give them everything they had if you think the Lions are
03:11a 12 and five thing five team you think the Packers are going to go into toilet and go three
03:16and six
03:16all I need is four and five from a good quarterback a good coach a good roster with Parsons coming
03:23back
03:24right that's that's the wild card Micah Parsons coming back how big of an impact is he going to be
03:29and you know what's it like for him coming off an ACL that's what's going to come down to for
03:34this
03:34high stakes meat sticks bet okay great how much are they like $3.99 I was going to say this
03:40is such a
03:40I just came to me on the fly I'm like what can we bet oh everybody likes meat sticks uh
03:45-huh well
03:46who does another one I mean other than Heather you know but it's it's it what are you saying
03:52what is surprising though is that you are sitting there watching us like it did the way it came
03:59across was like hey you're you're spying on us watching these watching us eat these meat sticks
04:04I've seen everybody he's a peeping Tom once in a while it's great to go back there and get some
04:09meat sticks and just have them even if you're not like real hungry oh I agree something to chew on
04:13I agree all right now I can't stop thinking about them I might have to get some meat sticks today
04:23something to chew on the matchup on Saturday night Michigan and Michigan State our question is are
04:28you getting peacock are you actually going to go through with it I realize the phrasing's not great
04:35here are you going to actually jump through the hoops to watch Michigan Michigan State and I will
04:39include the backdrop is it's the same time as Miami Notre Dame it's the same time as Georgia Ole Miss
04:45these teams aren't very good do you want to put yourself through the hoops and the cost of
04:51watching Michigan Michigan State this year if you don't get it through your you know quote-unquote
04:58cable package or internet package now we're talking packages it I do think there are some people that
05:06will do the you know the seven-day free trial and then and cancel it the the problem is a
05:12lot of
05:12people don't cancel it they're counting on you to forget right and if you if you're one of those
05:16people you're like nah it's just not worth it this year because I don't want to forget yeah you basically
05:21saying I I got better stuff to do do I really care if we win is that the vibe like
05:27I know John you
05:27played in the rivalry and you went to Michigan and you'll never just say whatever I don't care if
05:31we win but from a fan perspective out there what are you hearing from people a lot of the same
05:36things
05:37like this is rivalry week there's just no juice to the game you've got a two-win Michigan State team
05:46and you've I mean they're undefeated in the MAC but they have a won a game in the Big Ten
05:53yeah and so
05:54and then you look at Michigan and it's been so underwhelming and even last week's game it was a
06:00win against Rutgers but it was an underwhelming win yeah even in a win it wasn't it didn't feel good
06:06well and and it's I football purists can love defense but people want to see some offense
06:14and you know okay maybe Tommy brings a little bit more juice because he's able to throw the ball
06:19downfield but if you can't run the ball as a Michigan football team what are you tuning in for
06:27yeah look I'll make a confession I would not watch this game if I didn't do this job
06:32and I'm a little annoyed that I know I have to watch this game and divide the attention
06:36is it just gonna be multiple screens yeah of course it's 2026 I got the the tablet I'll have
06:41the big tv yeah and I'll keep an eye on it but I'm a little annoyed go forward because there's
06:46three
06:47games on at that time I know Georgia Ole Miss has probably taken the back seat oh I mean I
06:51could set
06:52up a third monitor I was gonna say yeah you could have the you could have the Michigan Michigan State
06:56game on your phone the smallest smallest screen yeah but I know you I don't know you guys tell me
07:01like what's the expectation like are we getting a big breakdown on Monday is this a game you guys
07:05are looking forward to foaming at the mouth I just don't get that vibe I think it still matters as
07:12much
07:12as Spartans and Wolverines are going to say yeah this is a dud it still matters it does it may
07:20not matter
07:21in terms of the Big Ten and it certainly doesn't matter on the national scene but it's still bragging
07:27rights in the state yeah still waiting for that signature win under Fitzgerald is this is this the
07:33week what's that as I said is this the week it could be I don't know Spartan fans Wolverine fans
07:38let us
07:38know 248-539-9797 NFL trade rumors about the Lions next 97-1
07:43the Lions next 97-1
