Pride of Detroit: for Detroit Lions fans

The bye week is coming to a close, which means it's time to review what the Lions have been up to. Helping Ryan, Chris and Jeremy is Big Drew (@bigdrewtweets) from WMAX-FM, ESPN 96.1 Grand Rapids. Horrifying nature aside, the injury to Dak Prescott does bring up the question: has the trade value of Matthew Stafford just risen with the Cowboys? Will the Lions quarterback go anywhere this season if the Lions truly are in the tank? And what would that say about the front office? The four also talk about the future of the Lions coaching staff, when/if they could be fired, as inspiration strikes fans after Bill O'Brien and Dan Quinn have been canned. Finally, a quarterly review and yearbook superlatives for Detroit. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
