00:00but lions lions lions lions deadline lion sheila lions brad lions dan lions we like our guys lines
00:08so all right what do you want to do you weren't here yesterday i did four hours of it i
00:11want to
00:12just state for the record i didn't yell i didn't scream you were allowed to yeah but i don't care
00:17enough to i didn't expect them to do anything big they didn't i can't get angry they've said who
00:23they are i disagree with it i don't like it it's not going to change it they're just this is
00:29who
00:29they are and once again look i don't want to hear about travel itineraries i don't want to hear
00:33anything the day after the deadline either the gm talks or you're just acting like a coward i don't
00:39want to hear it dan dan campbell should not have to answer for brad holmes period amen hallelujah dan
00:45campbell shouldn't have to answer for his gm he shouldn't and i don't want to hear about anything
00:51else i don't care if they're playing in a game in bulgaria in uzbekistan i don't care cape verde you
00:59figure it out there has to be a minimum of statement but this is the problem in this town
01:03none of these guys want to talk and i felt for dan campbell because honestly watching the video
01:09earlier that felt like a hostage situation so look you weren't here yesterday i i'm happy to talk about
01:16this again but if i i can't take any more calls everyone's so mad and i'm totally understanding of
01:23it but what can we do so here's the one thing i'm banning anybody you can call about anything you
01:29want do not do not paul hear me when i say this there's only one opinion that has annoyed me
01:37and
01:38it's not whether you're okay or not okay with not making trades these ding-a-lings that have called
01:45the morning and mid-day shows well name a player that got traded that would have helped us you stupid
01:55morons those players weren't even available until the team that got them made them available would a
02:04man offer this is not about us pining for jeffrey simmons this is about the principal nature that
02:12players who were deemed not available or nowhere in the rumor report hello jordan davis became
02:20available right or the uh the linebacker that denver picked up like yeah correct it's just that's all
02:26please don't call with that to absolve brad your job is to go get people oh well other teams could
02:34have traded for zach bond and they didn't we are in detroit this is wendy sir i'm not doing this
02:41with you
02:42it's hard to make deals when you don't make real offers we know who brad holmes is he's the guy
02:50who
02:50says him and his wife have been looking for a house for nine months and then you ask them well
02:55like
02:55what kind of offers are you throwing in yeah we're undercutting people by 50 percent good luck on the
03:01house search yeah how long you've been searching for a house a few years that's my point so do whatever
03:07else you want and i know you've probably got something nuanced and you're gonna ask me about
03:12the division or something else but rico i mean there's they make me they make me just not care
03:19okay you like your guys this is our team cool let's see how it plays out because they're just not
03:25going to do what all the other the top 10 teams in the league eight of them made moves you
03:31and the
03:31steelers didn't well pardon me if i don't want to be comped to his hayseed organization that's
03:37another lemonade stand in the league the steelers have been grifting those hill jacks on the border
03:41of west virginia for 15 years we'll just stay good but not great because they don't want to go through
03:47a real rebuild to ever be great again they don't have to yeah i guess the funny thing about yesterday
03:53was when you saw teams who they had a glaring need and it was the obvious you know what let's
03:59just go
03:59and get some guy because we need it we all saw the monday night game and then minnesota guys were
04:05wasting this team if we don't get a quarterback there's only one to go get let's just go get
04:09cousins and make it happen and they did like you have so many different needs especially on this
04:15defense and you chose to ignore them all that's that's what got me so you know what i think that
04:23there's a lot of people who feel the way you feel mike so i want to ask you a different
04:27question
04:28sure do you think no not that but i know you guys do they love they love everybody in there
04:36so
04:36they don't make moves well we look back at yesterday and will yesterday be that moment for
04:45brad holmes if they don't make the super bowl where you realize that was his taking the wind no that
04:51was
04:52his pitch back and forth type of moment that was his moment where you're like you know what
04:56you'll hearken back to the trade deadline if this team gets booted in the first round of the playoffs
05:04and say you know what we could have been a lot better maybe that was the moment that it all
05:11started
05:12i'm going to say something to you that is generally reserved for your founders events and mixers
05:17you are absolutely adorable you are adorable why am i no you you there's no pressure on this man
05:27there's no hot seat on this man i'm sorry no no no i'm not saying pressure and hot seat from
05:33the
05:33organization i'm talking about from the people where all of a sudden the people start people are
05:37already there when they really people are already there because they're carrying 70 years of angst
05:42not all of that is brad's fault clearly but i think they're upset but when you hear that has
05:49been developed and rico they know deep down it's not going to change but when you hear we we like
05:56the guys in the room now dan loves the guys that they have and you realize like this is a
06:03finite
06:03window and you are maybe squandering what could be the easiest schedule since the patriots last year
06:12correct where you you could even your way even costa's crashing out because jim is realizing
06:19they're not going to do what's necessary now again i brought this up yesterday okay uh sam
06:25darnold has won a super bowl anything's possible i've watched backup quarterbacks nick foals jeff
06:30hostetler win super bowls i've watched trent dilfer win a super bowl the lions can win a super bowl
06:36this is not about can or cannot did you put yourself in the best position to win the
06:42super bowl the teams that are getting there are aggressive and they're doing that they're doing
06:46it year over year they're doing it in the off season and the deadline it's another disingenuous
06:51argument i heard another idiot call a show earlier well you know this this team didn't do it at the
06:56trade no jackass they did it in the off season when they acquired the the best defensive player in
07:01sport you moron so look rico people are upset the problem is our emotion doesn't matter as long as
07:11people are blowing 60 to go stand at a lions game that's fair none of it matters the lions have
07:19never
07:19been more profitable the lions have never been more popular i mean sheila all sheila knew in in
07:26sporting life was losing sheila's the bell of the ball now wait a minute they're not making fun of us
07:34wait they're not booing me at halftime we're on prime time wait wait people want these jerseys
07:43there's no paper bags in the stands my whole family failed at this i'm a savant buddy it don't we
07:52don't
07:52matter and as long as long as that place got a waiting list as long as they can keep jacking
07:59the
07:59ticket rates and people are still willing to choke on it none of this matters because in sports we have
08:07lost winning a championship is no longer commiserate with profit you don't have to do anything
08:15to be incredibly profitable and being good just good enough to keep people interested
08:25so you could be the chicago cubs before they won the world series well that was different that was
08:31just day drinking but i hear you i just okay fair enough rico i and i truly believe like this
08:38town
08:38doesn't have the appetite yet um to be unsatisfied with 10 or 11 wins because i gotta think that
08:47you you're going to look back and say we wasted this move this this is going to be a bigger
08:52waste
08:53in the 15 and 2 year when you just went out and got zadarius where you could have did more
08:58because your schedule it's awful no look cookies nailed this i and and again you can you know you
09:05know what cookie's opinion about the schedule is the equivalent of a contested step back early
09:10shot clock three no no no no yes it was a bad opinion that worked out because he did something
09:18about
09:18projecting it on paper the nfl normally doesn't fall in line with paper but jim ended up right
09:24this schedule is actually worse than anything i could have imagined so you don't really get
09:30measuring stick games you had a couple i'm not impressed with the packer win and you got your
09:38brakes beat off by the bills that's it don't sell me minnesota i told you they were frauds and i
09:45was
09:45halfway to being right until they traded for a damn quarterback they were gonna lose four in a row
09:49the point i'm making we don't get another one of those games okay we get thanksgiving you're at home
09:56december could be the moment where we get to see you on the road and against some teams in division
10:02and we need i don't know you know what mike i'll even say thanksgiving may be something because you
10:07normally lose that game sure the bottom line is i i feel for people who are in rapture it's because
10:14they're expecting something different and they're not going to get it and i can't change that for them
10:20i i have given up and when i say given up it's just i accept it for what it is
10:25they are a good
10:27team they're very comfortable being good do i think they're a bit delusional and arrogant as an
10:32organization considering they've never won anything a hundred percent i don't like the way they behave
10:37i don't like hell the players walk around like they're the chiefs guys is wendy's we don't serve
10:45filet here buddy that's for lombardi winners like i'm just saying no because i had this conversation
10:50with david because yes looking at even what the players do when they walk around the defensive
10:58players flapping their arms every time they make a play and i'm like do you ever see the vikings
11:03defense doing that no they get up and they get ready to beat you up on the next play
11:07very like and then the choreographed touchdown celebrations that they have like teams that know
11:13that they're good they just okay touchdown i'm not gonna kill anybody for celebrating tds i hear
11:19you it's a general thing for me and understand look the battle you're gonna fight you know well the
11:24defense been good the last month has it i just got done telling you you've already played five of the
11:29bottom 10 defenses this will be week six of doing it you'll get seven with the tight it just i
11:35just
11:35think that the the brad bots will be joining you where they're gonna not that you're broken but they
11:40will be broken if they don't make the super bowl you're gonna look back and be like brett why didn't
11:46you make a move because you didn't have to give up tons of picks i'm the type of fan if
11:51it takes my
11:52team being all in for me to be all in so i treat the lions like a play thing they're
11:58just a dog toy
11:59they're there they can be fun i ain't gonna sweat it worst case is buy another dog toy it just
12:07is what
12:07it is if they're comfortable being good i guess we'll find out if it's good enough you don't like
12:11the toys you have in your house i can't i'm making a point it's just i don't i just don't
12:15stress about
12:16it it's just not it rico they don't want it as bad as the fans do you want me to
12:21just say it
12:23that's my perception of the situation they don't want it as bad as the fans do you mean to tell
12:28me
12:28you're comfortable the rest of the season with bob nawaski rodrigo and derrick barnes your
12:33linebacker core bravo go ahead and do it what am i gonna do nothing i can do about it all
12:42right
12:42we're banking on kirby coming back as they said in dodgeball bold strategy cotton let's see how it
12:48plays out i was just gonna what do you want me to do i was gonna say are you sure
12:51about that
12:51248-539-9797 we can bump back with some dan campbell audio brad didn't talk he never does 97-1
13:00for example
13:00so
13:00You
