00:01good morning 97 one jim costa no john jansen we got stoney in today heather park gov and greg
00:07behind the glass got some lion schedule leaks and a few questions but first the feedback
00:12the blind ranking was horrible awful which part was bad minor heather's mine not yours
00:21this says beyond horrible skittles and starburst but beyond that it's like my grandpa put together
00:27the list do better next time dots and pez and mentos and lifesavers says classic old guy stuff
00:34pez and mentos on the blind rankings this guy said he loved it now in terms of heather's performance
00:40after that ranking this is heather's first and last blind ranking starburst at nine might be
00:47more outlandish than playing during 30 minutes a night in the playoffs i don't like starburst
00:51i sometimes they're too sticky they stick to my teeth i don't really love the flavor i now i do
00:57love starburst jelly beans if you would have done the starburst jelly beans they would have been
01:02closer to the top we had jelly bellies i mean jelly bellies though heather's blind ranking is almost as
01:08bad as her excuse for not coming back in time for work from vacation sean in a car stoney no
01:14jolly
01:15ranchers no mike and ike's i'm surprised you didn't toss in candy corn and circus peanuts
01:19no i think jolly ranchers was considered but you know i was waiting for some of my like real
01:25favorite swedish fish i purposely left out because that's your favorite i love the nerds clusters i love
01:31the watermelon sour patch i love red vines i like those start um sweet tart ropes have you ever had
01:37those yes those are very good so i was waiting for some of those and they just never arrived and
01:43then i got
01:43screwed basically i'm with cookies heather's ranking of starburst should be a misdemeanor
01:48at minimum frank at work stoney you forgot butterscotch and those strawberry candies you
01:53never see at the store aaron and flint jujubees or things like that yeah jujubees and what's the
02:00other one juji fruits i purposely did not do that because i thought that was an old one yeah
02:06no necco wafers stoney i love necco wafers of course you do we used to we at summer camp we
02:14used to bet on on races with necco wafers that's incredible
02:21uh i want to hear the dirty dots joke from stoney oh yeah yeah you never shared it it's not
02:27dirty
02:28okay it's just inappropriate it's in today's society yes okay as much as i think a group of
02:35people might be offended i don't want to take a chance okay okay i mean you get away with more
02:39than most but i'll trust you on this we'll stay away from it all right lion schedule has a couple
02:44leaks and i have a couple questions okay we know that they're going to go to germany in week 10
02:51november 15th yes is this a bunch of bs because they're going to play three games in 12 days
02:57they've done that before but now there's international travel that we we have no reason
03:02to believe the bye will be week 11 rod wood has has indicated they doesn't anticipate a bye before
03:07thanksgiving so you're staring down a trip to germany a game and then another game three in a 12 day
03:14span
03:14with international travel it's that that's a bunch of bs the only way it would work is if the team
03:19who
03:19they were playing on thanksgiving would be in europe at the same no i don't like it
03:27i don't like it i don't like it i don't like it either it's one thing they deal with this
03:33crunch
03:33every year but then to throw in the international travel feels dumb and you can say they're greedy
03:38but you're hurting your product like you don't want these guys to be on on on on empty so so
03:45i've never really traveled internationally before believe it or not and um so how long is a flight to
03:52munich it's like eight hours i think okay let's say so if they were playing let's say the rams
03:59the week instead of that in la so you're adding basically four hours of travel you said it shortens
04:07your week yeah and and the jet lag and all this other stuff so i knew they were going to
04:13play in
04:13germany my hope would be you get a bye after or at the very least you wouldn't have thanksgiving the
04:19week after the week after right and create that crunch it's it just feels like poor planning and
04:25i'm not trying to do woe is me or build an excuse for the lions i just it's it's bad
04:29schedule making
04:29yes the other thing we know week two is going to be at buffalo thursday night football you rather
04:36play buffalo early or late competitive reasons is my question so early your offensive line hasn't had a
04:44chance to gel right late you're going to play in the cold i just look at it from a fan
04:50standpoint okay
04:50this is the most marquee road game on the schedule and i'll just run through it again the lions are
04:57going to play of course chicago green bay and minnesota on the road they'll play carolina miami
05:02arizona and atlanta and buffalo buffalo stands out as the marquee game and it's a brand new stadium
05:09that you may want to see as a fan now the problem if you want to go to this game
05:13it's their first home
05:15game which means prices are going to go up right it's a thursday which means you got to miss multiple
05:19days of work first game at a new stadium yes yeah so i i hate it from a fan standpoint
05:25that they're
05:26playing in week two competitively i don't know what to make of it but i hate it for fans because
05:31this
05:31is the trip you should want to go on most right yeah you would think go to buffalo see a
05:37good team
05:37like what's even number two miami arizona for the weather yes carolina because they were a playoff
05:45team last year i don't know i mean there really isn't another big road game outside of the division
05:49ones i suppose but you could do that every year right yeah the schedule is ranked pretty easy so
05:55maybe they can take advantage of it that's the thought yeah now who do you want them to open with
05:59if i get full schedule on thursday i'd like them to open with a team from their division who
06:06probably i'd say the minnesota vikings now you know we wouldn't have seen any tape on kyler murray
06:14beforehand but you know the fact that the lions offensive coordinator was his coordinator in
06:21arizona he can get that stuff out of the way i think wouldn't you want to play kyler after call
06:27duty comes out like a november on type of deal when the game plan gets uh you know who knows
06:35by then he might get hurt and then jj could be playing right yeah i'd like to open with one
06:41of
06:41the other teams in the north okay so with green bay the thought would be is parsons fully back is
06:46is uh craft the tight end fully back can you jump them early and they're according to the markets the
06:52biggest threat in the north or is it the bears it's a tone setter because i expect them to take
06:58a step back and detroit could grab a win against uh chicago to set the tone for the season i'd
07:03like
07:03that too what's your basic rationale for chicago taking a step back don't you think caleb's gonna
07:10keep getting better yeah i love that you asked me this because i i could do a ted talk on
07:14it okay
07:14their defense was bad last year 28th i know yeah they lost both safeties and their nickel corner from a
07:21team that forced a ton of takeaways and their interior linebacker tremaine edmonds so a team
07:26that was turnover reliant lost a lot of their back seven leaders and key pieces and they didn't
07:31upgrade their pass rush so i expect their defense to continue to struggle and not have the turnover
07:36fortune then on offense you lose dj more and more importantly you lose your center and we dealt with
07:42what that's like losing a guy and taking a step back on the interior of the offensive line so even
07:46with
07:48caleb has the ability to get better and the second year of the system but i think the roster around
07:53him plus they're going to play a first place schedule i don't think they win as many of those
07:58toss-up games this season that's probably accurate okay guess what what i got the rough draft of the
08:06mock schedule ready for tomorrow oh the mock might still make a few tweaks the geekiest thing we might do
08:13i say i say it affectionately it is one of the the dumb bits in sports radio and i'm happy
08:20that
08:20we've continued it people online are starting to make mock schedules i have seen that they're kind
08:25of encroaching on your territory yeah this is your bit yeah now i'm hoping we don't get any more leaks
08:31because i want you to have to try to pick as many of these blind as possible oh exactly i
08:37know and
08:37so tomorrow we will do it before the germany opponents announced at nine nine a.m tomorrow
08:43they announce the germany opponent and we are under the understanding that it's between three teams
08:50patriots giants but okay so you're saying it's going to be leaked at nine o'clock tomorrow
08:55it's going to be announced it's going to be announced yes i know my
09:00uh texas the time change and change back will be a killer for the lions go in germany and then
09:05having
09:05that schedule crunch the buy is probably before germany guys and then they get the mini buy after
09:11thanksgiving that's true the lions are supposed to have a last play schedule and so far they're
09:17playing the bills and a really messed up situation in germany don't like either but they had to play
09:22the bills regardless yes that was part of their division that they were going to play because they
09:26still have to play the jets in miami so they should win those two games who knows with new england
09:33yeah stony you brought up sugar-free candy and the consequences text says ask heather what candy
09:38makes her fart
09:42you don't have to answer i'm not gonna ask i'm not gonna ask her that you're a gentleman
09:46we'll talk pistons next 97 one
