00:02so as we get ready for this lions game on sunday there's a lot that goes into this game that
00:06we're
00:06going to be discussing on the show and you know the landscape of of the nfc and how things have
00:12changed with the trade deadline and all that and you know are the lions going to be one of the
00:16teams that could be the odd team out when the playoffs start because they just didn't do enough
00:23are they good enough i mean do we really think all four teams in the division are going to get
00:26in
00:27never happened before but do you know the lowest odds right now are 63 packers 63 chance they get
00:34in yeah because i mean you're going to get a division leader from the south and from the east
00:38and and the rest of the division sucks right i mean i don't you're not going to get a wild
00:42card from
00:42either one of those teams so you're going to get the wild card either they're all going to come from
00:45this or you're going to get somebody like seattle that gets to come in uh from the nfc west uh
00:52so
00:53there's obstacles there but something we didn't think about you talk about obstacles for sunday
00:59and i think fred's going to touch on this i'll let fred mention this as we talk about do you
01:02love
01:02or or hate these these sunday games uh that start at 9 30 i hate the fact that they're overseas
01:09i hate
01:10it however i have treated this more like a specialty game uh than than i would like a monday night
01:16game
01:16although maybe i treated this kind of like i used to treat monday night games back when everybody
01:19used to go down to the bar to watch monday night football back in the uh the 90s and the
01:232000s
01:24uh fred you're next up here 971 hey fred hey good morning buddy how are you good how are you
01:30good uh just a quick mention i don't know if anybody's brought it up but sunday morning is
01:34the opening of the firearm deer season in michigan so there is going to be a ton of guys out
01:40in the
01:40woods on their cell phones and their blinds everything else kind of watch this game so it's
01:45going to be interesting i'm not a hunter um but i i was always taught told that like if you're
01:52out
01:52hunting that bringing any kind of electronica is probably this seems like an extraordinarily bad
01:59idea you don't do it because you don't want to scare the deer away and is that true or no
02:04i mean
02:06nowadays you can still have your cell phone out there and text back and forth with your buddies
02:11and kind of keep an eye on things so i'm sure a lot of these blinds are just like a
02:15small apartment
02:16that these guys got so they probably got big screen tvs out in them oh my god i was gonna
02:20ask how that
02:21works like it's like what's the what's the setup there i i don't know does it look like a tailgate
02:27i don't think so i don't think so because you're out there to shoot a deer bag of deer you're
02:33out there
02:33for the camaraderie with your with your friends as well but i mean i i thought that the last thing
02:39you
02:39wanted to do was to distract the deer 100 or i should say to attract their awareness you don't
02:45want that the deer are thrilled you're bringing tvs out there yeah they're like great i see that
02:49yeah oh they're you know who's gonna i see they're in the red zone i can go get over this
02:53ridge
02:53i don't need to worry about these guys that's it they're not paying attention to me no but that's
02:57a serious thing i mean every year we talk about hunting season and and you know the the hunters
03:01that go out there that they're dead serious about hunting it's a lifestyle for for the people
03:07out there are you a hunter i'm not and i'm not against them just i'm just not a hunter but
03:12it's it's something where they count the days man they count the hours the minutes the seconds that
03:18before they can get out there and and they love this and i imagine i mean look there's always a
03:24sacrifice because it's there's gonna be a sunday during hunting season at some point whether it's a
03:28one o'clock start a four o'clock start or you know or apparently a 9 30 start it's going
03:33to affect
03:34you i didn't realize that this was that this weekend started firearm season for deer hunting
03:40that's that's gonna i didn't think that's gonna piss some people off oh it's definitely gonna piss
03:44people off i have i know people that are they're avid hunters and they're not the only ones they tell
03:49me all the time like they wouldn't even attend their closest friends weddings because there was
03:53hunting season oh so hunting hunting weekend it's more blasphemy to have a game on then than it is to
04:01have a fall wedding it sounds like the the for firearm season i think it's two weeks so they get
04:07two weeks here and they're not messing around like this is what they've been waiting for no i think
04:12like look again i'm not a hunter but i would imagine that the hunters would much prefer to have a
04:174 30 kick or a sunday night game as opposed because then they could watch it then they're going to
04:22get
04:22back to the the cabin or whatever and turn on the tv and watch it because i don't know i
04:27assume that
04:28once the sun goes down hunt it's it's time to go in and i don't know i don't think people
04:34are out
04:34there firing rifles in the dark but i could be wrong again it's my own ignorance and i apologize
04:40for it because i i have nothing against hunting um i just have never experienced it uh 248-539-9797
04:48but nonetheless i thought this this could throw a monkey wrench in things i will say this if i ever
04:53went hunting i would be the first hunter ever to be more in danger out there than the animals
04:58you know it would be far more likely that something would happen to me than any animal i'm trying to
05:03get i just want to make that abundantly clear you think something would happen to you probably i would
05:09i would have the gun pointed in the wrong way and i would shoot myself you know well i would
05:14hope that
05:14you would uh have some sort of training before you went out and just didn't go out on a lark
05:18with
05:18some friends hey why don't you come with us oh okay you got an extra rifle yeah we got an
05:21extra rifle
05:22for you i would hope that there's some sort of training that goes on because you have to be
05:26responsible of beyond anything else be safe out there we had a vice president that what got shot
05:32or shot himself yeah something cheney yeah what was the story there uh didn't have a rifle pointed
05:41low enough to the ground i think they were out i didn't figure what kind of hunting it was it
05:46was
05:46you thought that was the last you ever heard about that not if you take me hunting
05:50well nobody's taking you hunting i think is what that's going to come down to uh they don't want
05:55to do that nor apparently should they uh if this is the case uh 248-539-9797 is the telephone
06:02number
06:02we have some uh texts that have come in as well uh we're hosting a german themed tailgate and watch
06:08party at our house 60 plus people a full german breakfast brunch spread multiple five liter kegs of
06:15german pilsner etc we're fully leaning into the 9 30 kick that's from ad in rochester and they
06:21haven't invited us oh my gosh kang ryan gator where's our invite apparently they're expecting
06:31you to go out hunting oh that's right uh gentlemen my local pub in ferndale is opening at 7 30
06:36in the
06:36morning with gourmet breakfast sliders and live music starting at 8 30 in the morning and it's a good
06:40band awesomer yep i know that so i said that's the uh the new way bar in ferndale they're doing
06:46that so they're opening up at 7 30 i believe 24 seconds is opening up at 8 30 in berkeley
06:52and i think
06:53they're having a breakfast bar there as well and bloody mary bar and a whole bit uh so i mean
06:58bars
06:59i think bars are getting excited about this one yeah twin peaks is going to be open as well
07:03there's going to be a lot of places open uh ready to go that at times that they normally wouldn't
07:10be
07:10right so that's why i'm asking the question you're more inclined to go to an establishment to watch
07:14this game than you would be for a typical one o'clock game or four o'clock game i'm going
07:19to start
07:19listing time slots that shouldn't have football 9 30 a.m thursday nights christmas at dinner time
07:27etc too much is in fact too much eric and traverse city agree and where they should draw the bleeping
07:34line is the stupid christmas games that it look first of all if you do thanksgiving you should be
07:41exempt from christmas what they did to the lions last year they had the lions playing in july they had
07:47the lions playing on thanksgiving the lions playing on christmas day i have less of a problem with this
07:52this is just life on the west coast yeah no this is a i mean it's a six hour time
07:59difference for the
08:00players so there is a there is that and there is an adjustment period but i understand your point i
08:05hated the christmas game last year i uh i don't actually i don't want to see football on christmas
08:11day but it's it's selfish for me because i'm usually having family over for christmas at my house and
08:17i'm busy cooking and everything else i don't want to watch i want to watch football but i i
08:22feel like i'm just rushed for time because i haven't cleaned up the house enough and then i'm
08:26watching football and i'm trying to cook it's a whole big mess uh 248-539-9797 same number to text
08:32if you want to sound off that way we've got nfl questions coming up next here on 97.1
