I’ve always admired Detroit, I’m from northeast Indiana, closest big city to me is Detroit, and whenever people try to talk Ill of Detroit I always mention how that city, particularly, helped the war effort in WW2 to such a degree that Stalin himself said to FDR “Detroit is winning the war” and how in 1944 a flight ready B-24 came off the production line every hour. There’s a deep history there that deserves to be respected.

Auto industry also built this country into the greatest to ever exist, too bad stupid people are trying to destroy it.

Jeff Daniels spoke facts on people’s perception and opinions of Detroit. My wife is a native Detroiter and when we go to dinners or events and she proudly tells folks she is from the 313 their faces twist up. They say some ignorant shit about crime and poverty. She gracefully educates them and lets them know that the city is full of hardworking beautiful souls. 🦁Let’s Go Lions🦁

I'm a Clevelander but one of my best buddies lives in a Detroit suburb. I go up there once or twice a year, always a great time. It's a great city, and anyone who goes there and gives it a real shot will see that, imo. Comerica is a beautiful park, Cafe d'Mongo is a gem, Two James is always a good time. Look at the James Beard nominations from this week, Detroit is all over it.

Nobody mentions that Matthew Stafford went to the same high school as Bobby Lane. He was drafted 51 years after the curse. We had to trade Stafford to finally break it.

Jeff Daniels is a true homie! The way he said "it's certainly not Dallas" shows he rolls deep with the team.

Met Jeff while filming the Civil War movie, "God's and General's" in Harper's Ferry in 2001. Such a great person! Then years later he let us Civil War re-enactors be in his annual golf outing causing havoc to the golfers as they tee'd off. At the movie premier in Jackson, Michigan, he gave us autographed posters of him along with his signed picture of him in his uniform. A great actor and a wonderful class act human being. Thanks so much Jeff for the wonderful memories! From a Vietnam Era Marine Corps veteran.

And Stafford yet, hasn’t Won a Playoff Game in Ford Field.

Watching them for 60 years and I agree with Jeff. It’s a different feeling here now with the Lions.

I like to call myself a vintage detroit fan that goes back to the mid 60s . From Big Alex through kramer , Billie , Barry to Scott never liked him mitchell , megatron , Matthew and co. But this is the first time as a detroit fan know were all involved in something special to quote coach . Love you detroit dan ! And thank you thank you thank you shiela ! You did it !

I love jeff daniels so much 🫶

I agree with Dan about one thing, Jeff Daniels speech in the newsroom to me is the best TV I've ever seen. It's so well written and so well acted, I go back and watch it once in a while it's so good. Plus Jeff is a really good person who is on the right side of history on many issues. Just an all-around good guy.

Honestly, I think the entire country is rooting for Detroit. I'm a Niners fan, so despite my confidence they'll beat the Lions, I'd be happy for Detroit if they won. And if by chance they do win, I'm definitely rooting for them to win the Superbowl.

I’m proud of our Lions regardless of the next two games. I moved to Texas 8 years ago and wish Detroit won that last game but I guess in a way we did. Go Lions!

Jeff Daniel’s delivered the greatest single word of dialog in movie history. “BAYONETS!”

Who don't love Jeff Daniels. Excellent job guys. Thank you, Jeff, for your insights. Go Lions!!

Hey man great work with those! I have been trying to figure out if a college football team, like for example the Wolverines this year, have ever won a Championship in the same season that an NFL team from that same state (Lions) has won a Super Bowl. If you know the answer that would be awesome.

Jeff has more experience than me, but I fully agree. This feels different. I'm a lifetime Oregon Ducks and Detroit Lions fan... and I've watched Oregon build from an 0-0 Toilet Bowl, to a bowl game, to a bowl win, to a Rose Bowl appearance, to a single Pac-10 title, to national prominence, to perennial favorites and national title games. Detroit, it feels similar starting with the 0-16, to 2011 going 11-5 and making the playoffs, and now, not only winning games but winning a PAIR of playoff games, and it feels like more than a scrappy underdog story. It feels like Detroit belongs, and they have this entire season. And it feels like no matter what happens on Sunday, they're going to belong next year. I've never experienced this, even back in the days of Barry and Moore.

Love Detroit!!! Can’t wait to see us win this whole thing

Lions fans aren’t ‘dumb’ for rooting for Detroit, it’s something we are born into just like Pittsburgh fans love the Steelers or Indianans love the Hoosiers. The Lions represent the city of Detroit and its’ hard working attitude #DetroitStrong, #RestoreTheRoar

Jeff Daniels is a huge champion for Detroit and the whole state of Michigan...

Went to college in Texas but my college roommate was from Detroit. Within ten minutes of meeting the guy tried to fight me. Ended up being the coolest most genuine guy ever. Still my best friend to this day. They’re a different breed for sure 😂

Nick Petrasonte, Yale Lary, Pat Studstill. These are all players along with the ones Jeff mentioned that I watched in my youth. 1961. I was nine. Been watching them ever since.

This means everything to the city and the fans. Bring the lombardi home to Detroit forever. Beat frisco

I'm so happy for you guys in Detroit!!! Jobs not done!

True!!!!

I'm just here for Jeff Daniels and the Motown Lions and this is my introduction to this show/podcast and people. What a bizarre, detached, asynchronous and humorless cast of characters this show has assembled.

I am sure that it is implied when they speak about the Lions doing what they do for the city and fans of Detroit also include the fans that are throughout the state of Michigan, and the country for that matter. Being a native Michigander and now living in Dallas Cowboys country, I am proud of my Lions.

Great stuff, thanks for sharing. Q: Why is no one, seemingly, talking about newly acquired 3-time Pro Bowler TE Zach Ertz the Lions just signed a one-year contract with? Anyone?? Do you think he's overrated? Do you think he won't play much? He can block, run the ball, complete short to medium length passes, I think he will make a difference this Sunday. G O L I O N S!!!

Native Michigander here: as my grandfather would say, the only way you're a Lions fan is because you're born into it. This has been true my entire life but we welcome all the new bandwagon-ers!!

From AZ and been a lions fan since I was a kid. Barry Sanders was my player and now 30 some years later not wanting cowboys or niners as my team I am glad we are In it. Got so much shit from everyone

thank you jeff and peyton

Lou Creekmur and Joe Schmidt told me it was the George Wilson who traded him once he was promoted from OC to HC. Wilson used to drink and pal around with Layne, etc. and Wilson thought he would never get any respect from Layne because of it. So he traded him, and Layne said that to more than one person. I worked with the Lions Alumni in a couple of different areas, and I heard that right from the horses mouth-the guys who played with him.

Congratulations on being part of Max

Worse than the curse of Bobby Lane - The Ford family bought the Lions on November 22nd ,1963.. The day J.F.K. was assassintated in Dallas. ( In the movie "Gods And Generals" we're pinned down behind a hill for 3 days and 3 nights at the Battle of Fredericksburg ; ( Myself, Jeff Daniels , C.Thomas Howell, and Kevin Conway. ) ) I'm from Dearborn, Mi.

They didn't try to break the curse; they did break the curse.

Having grown up in Olympia Washington and spent a lot of time in Seattle, people always talked about how everything was burning down and run down. Sure there are dangerous parts but the media definitely hypes everything way too much. Some folks think "CHOP" was the whole city....I totally empathize with those from Detroit because the city always gets an unfair shot in the media.....

in Goff we trust.

He totally broke the curse

Regarding Stafford, if he’s being honest he’d trade three Rams Super Bowl win for one Lions. That “Jared Goff” chant? That was supposed to be HIS adoration. Nothing like the love of real football fans versus that California fair weather romance.

He Got Bellichick right!LOL

When stafford got traded, it broke the worst of the curse as far as im concerned. 2 more games, get the trophy named for halas( bears)( nfc) and trophy named lombardi ( packers)( nfl) then the curses will all be broken😊

I've got the same hat. You shit yourself in the living room... yup down the leg pure excitment it takes alot to care about this team because short of Barry's era and flashes of greatness of Calvin and Matt it has sucked. The curse of Bobby Layne trade it is real. He said they'll never be good again for like 50 years and he was right and then some... i think its finally shifting...

I think the Lions & 49ers are a pretty even match except for the QB, where Goff has much more experience & skills. All that said the 49ers home field advantage evens it out. I heard just today that the Lions lost like 11 in a row to the 49ers. To me that flips the odds in favor of the Lions, because the odds of anybody beating someone 12 times in a row are not at all good. Somethings gotta give & I think it will this weekend.

Man I’m so disappointed in what the show has become, my biggest gripe is the fact that y’all refuse to upload the “full show”, this show has got me through hard times, I’ve been listening to Dan for over a decade, since the AM radio days, I’m a single father of 3 young men and I miss the days when I could go to work, or do laundry and dishes, or make dinner, and listen to the show while getting my stuff done, but now, everything is broken down into tiny segments, it auto plays old content I’ve already listened to multiple times, and the ads are horrible, they’re not just the ads that play for a minute or two and then you’re back, the ads go on for what seems like at least 10 minutes unless you hit “skip ads”, imagine doing dishes and you have to take off the giant rubber gloves every time an ad pops up, or you’re in the shower and one of the $6,000 government stimulus ads starts playing (verified scam), it’s no longer an enjoyable experience, combined with the fact that Dan is not the freedom fighter he thinks he is, it’s okay if we don’t agree on everything but this mask of altruism is cringe af, and it’s not necessary, look at what people do and not what they say, Dan is part of the GOP whether he admits it or not, because Dratkings feeds the NFL and most NFL owners pour money into the Republican Party, all he did was trade one master for another, this is not a free show anymore, DraftKings is the new master, and I’m willing to overlook that if you would just post the “full show”!Not everyone can afford or is willing to pay for a KZread premium subscription, I’m boycotting and unsubscribing for now, I’ll be back if y’all start posting the full show again, Matty out ✌🏼 #YouDontGetTheListener #ThankYouDan
