00:00to your phone calls and feedback in a moment also intense pause from florida get his take on hard
00:04rock stadium which we're talking about because hey we expect another lions fans takeover because
00:09it's what happens with road games they just turn it into what feels like a lions home game jared
00:14golf has talked to us about it how unbelievable it is to go on the road as the quarterback of
00:18the detroit lions and see lions fans everywhere but we're kind of just a bit of a warning if you
00:24have high expectations for hard rock stadium which has hosted super bowls both kang and i were
00:29underwhelmed when we were there gators never been there intense paul you have what is what is your
00:34take on the place i don't think it's that bad i mean i haven't i know to be fair i
00:38haven't been
00:38there since they've done a bunch of the upgrades for the whole toast f1 and they put the big awning
00:42on the stadium to roast the road team and keep the home team in the shade right so i've been
00:47there
00:47since that but the last time i went there i thought it was it's fine it's i haven't been there
00:51in a
00:51broadcasting sense i don't know how the setup is for that doug but i think the stadium itself is fine
00:55the worst stadium i've ever been to in my life was joe lewis arena that place was terrible well
01:01it had it didn't have a lot it had a soul for the detroiter because there's some weird place man
01:07it
01:07was a weird place the the one thing i'll say about the joe that there were two things i'll say
01:12about
01:12the joe in its favor once you were wedged into that seat because that is a tiny seat to fit
01:18into
01:19great sight lines yeah you know because it's built kind of straight up in the air uh the other
01:24thing is i think that the suite level there got a really bad rap because they weren't these
01:31incredible luxury suites that you would see in today's stadiums yep but those suite seats were
01:36actually really really nice if you got a chance to get the well the perspective you were like
01:41looking straight down you're like kind of hanging over it was really cool okay um we had a question
01:47the approval rating of drew petzing one thing we've learned over the years and i like to say
01:54every guy thinks they can drive grill and call plays um so offensive coordinators come under heavy
02:01scrutiny and you can go to any town anytime after a loss and you will hear a lot about play
02:07calling
02:08even though the lions we have not this year it's been a weird year so we have the approval rating
02:13for drew petzing do you approve of the job he has done you can vote
02:16at dungator 971 on twitter and get your michigan michigan state predictions and there's another
02:21thread for that is it just a simple yes or no yes yes or no do you approve yes or
02:26no what do you
02:27think the approval ratings after drew drew petzing uh 85.6 higher 91.3 higher 97.1
02:40it's 96.3 right now that's a that's pretty incredible it's a pretty good approval rate yep
02:49um william writes because what do you think john morton's was last year at this time
02:54uh well what's the opposite uh 3.7 percent is what you think uh william tweets us ben johnson
03:01wanted to hire drew petzing drew chose dan campbell mike says i've had two moments recently where petzing
03:07reminded me of ben johnson the play call where sewell went out for a route and drew attention
03:11away from jamo and the amanra cfl play that went for a first we're good at oc uh jason said
03:19i'd love
03:19to meet the four percent so i could observe the massive void in between their ears wow
03:26uh from bob if ben johnson would have run the cfl play he would have been glazed by every outlet
03:30this
03:31week petzing is him g money top tier game planning versus the vikings ran it down their throats multiple
03:38tight ends loved it so i don't know that the cfl play was the most creative thing they did
03:46the most creative thing might have been the two tight ends lined up in the backfield side by side
03:50behind the guard and tackle that was pretty creative and then they both went to the point
03:56of attack and open up a hole for jameer gibbs well you would imagine that's where the ball is going
04:00to go and the crazy thing was yeah they it was basically a counter they were lined up on the
04:06right and they both went left to to part the seas for jameer like that was a pretty creative
04:12formation too i wonder if you're going to see more of that and running more plays off of that because
04:18you once you see it i mean and it works coordinators get excited and how can we further exploit
04:25defenses it's not like you're going to run the same play every time you're going to run other
04:28things off that play 248-539-9797 all right go vote and comment there back to your phone calls
04:34dave is next on 97.1 hello dave hey how's it going guys what's up hey uh i think uh
04:42gator can appreciate
04:43this i went to two wrestlemanias at uh superdome and i went to one wrestlemania at jerry's world
04:50and jerry's world is awesome it's great yeah i have no question about that i have a question for
04:58you though about going to a wrestlemania because i've always thought this when it comes to to live
05:03professional wrestling events unless you have awesome seats it's tough then you're just going
05:09to me then you're just going for the event and and to be able to say that you know when
05:13i went to a
05:13wrestlemania which is pretty cool but what is it like to be at a giant stadium for a wrestling event
05:20it is it is incredible the crowd is just electric i mean we had pretty good seats at both of
05:28the uh
05:29the last two at uh the superdome in new orleans which was awesome but the texas one were stone cold
05:36the rock and all them guys came out and destroyed that that whole uh international team or whatever you
05:42want to call it but the two wrestlemanias that i hated the most skydome skydome sucks wow wow
05:49in in um in toronto oh yeah i went to two wrestlemanias there what what sucked about it
05:58it's just it's so expensive we got our seat i don't think our seat i think our seat was the
06:05very last
06:06seat you could possibly buy it was so far up and in the corner off to the it was you
06:11couldn't see
06:11anything and then the second wrestlemania with hogan and the rock there was the overhang and that
06:17really interfered with what we were able to see but as far as jerry's world and the two in new
06:24orleans
06:24you've seen everything it was electric there was a hundred thousand people at jerry's world easily
06:31and jerry world the other because we went to the super bowl there the one year that tv in the
06:35middle of
06:36the uh stadium is so massive it's almost obscene i have mixed feelings about it because for a
06:43football game i get it but for wrestlemania that might be pretty great because you can see so far
06:49away but you've got this giant tv in front of you that helps the weird thing about the tv if
06:55you are
06:55in the upper deck along one of the sidelines i don't know if it's true if you're in the end
06:59zone
07:00it dominates your sight line like i had to be disciplined to watch the game instead of watching
07:06the screen well we had those jackasses with the with the cheese heads in front of us yeah that didn't
07:12help but it it's so overwhelmingly large you find your eyes just sort of get sucked in like a tractor
07:21beam to watch the screen and not watch the game that's going on below it 248-539-9797 let's go
07:29to
07:29tony in saginaw you were next hello tony hello guys how are you doing hey good tony can you take
07:36us off speaker or headset please oh okay a lot better i got hearing aids so i'm going through my
07:44hearing aids is this better yeah go for it tony okay i'm a pet thing i approve of pet thing
07:53big time
07:54the only issue i've ever had is sometimes he's too predictable and he got away from that a little
08:02bit against minnesota i love the canadian league formation with splitting a guy out could you imagine
08:10doing that on fourth down that gives that spreads out teams big time and maybe running is better you
08:18know but you could also get a guy in a uh like jay bond on the edge and he could
08:24break that
08:25tony now that they've shown it on film teams will adjust for it and then you've got to have your
08:32counter you can do something else off of that if you see because the next time they line up with
08:39amanra deep like that you know that somebody's gonna they're gonna have to game plan for it
08:44and what else does it make him vulnerable to look it's one of the things that pet sing talked about
08:49that we played last hour and thank you for the phone call tony it's the it's the what other you
08:57know with the putting defenses in conflict does pet sing have an answer for everything defenses do
09:03i mean probably not minnesota was was really a tough matchup because they put your o-line in a blender
09:10they got seven eight guys crowding the line of scrimmage you don't know who's who's coming
09:14who's dropping into coverage but yeah it's going to be interesting to see what else they can do off
09:19that formation tom and commerce you're next hello tom hey guys mine's a little bit uh uh so i had
09:27the
09:27great whatever of getting going down and going to the masters yeah and you have you have this
09:34picture in your mind and the the golf course itself does it it over delivers it it is perfection
09:42on on everything but as you're pulling up surprisingly the surrounding area of the golf course
09:50is less than desirable like you're like you're a mile from the golf course and you're like okay so
09:56where where is this for perfection i've heard that yes it is i mean very sketchy to say the least
10:06and it's like strip malls and and spirit halloween stores and hooters and it just isn't what you'd
10:13expect right outside the gates of augusta guys with 55 gallon drums barbecuing on the corner like i mean
10:20like it it was it's kind of barbecue you'll get i mean i stopped i got some rip debts but
10:27i mean you
10:28know like it yeah it it was it was shocking i mean like i said the golf course the dirt
10:34is clean
10:35like it so but everything else was you know you were like wow yeah i've heard that about that too
10:44yeah that's crazy but speaking of golf you had a question in your show sheet
10:50and my answer is yes yes i am i know i know you are the question is live is dead
10:56are you dancing
10:56on the grave yep yes you are yep look when i have and it might have been for some real
11:06golf fans might
11:07have loved it i don't know but as a casual fan i hated that oh now the many of the
11:14golfers that have
11:15made this fun to watch pga tour events are playing in an event i don't care about
11:20i did something yesterday after work uh golf related i guess somewhat and somewhat live adjacent
11:26really that did not expect myself to be uh devoting that much time to it and i did
11:32well we'll get to that today at 11 32 it is karshan anderson here on 97.1
11:37anderson here on 97.1
