Yeah, that'll really do it. Let's give you a couple hundred grand when you're making 38 mil a year.

That'll really move the needle. Good God. In season cup. All right, let's do the business. I want to talk Lions.

So yesterday was cathartic. We had a therapy Monday. Both Rico and I are pretty aligned on this. I no longer expect this team to win the Super Bowl. I simply hope they do.

And that's a major departure from how I talked about them since summer. And when you lose

multiple pro bowlers on top of a season of injuries, I mean, in comparison, the Eagles have four

players on IR, you have 22, 19 of which are on defense. I can't go on the air and lie to you

and say, hey, you're winning it all. I'm not going to do that. Just like I'm not going to get on

the air and say, hey, Hutch said on a pod, he's going to play. Yeah, okay, no, he's not. But thank you.

If it happens, it's miraculous. I don't depend on miracles.

I'll leave that for David at church on Sundays to sell me water into wine.

Second of all, you'd have to get to the Super Bowl for there to even matter.

The whole crux of the conversation is you're not getting there.

Because the injury gods have taken it from us.

So what I want to see is this.

While most fans are in a state of denial, I want to live in reality.

Can we reset the goal, Rico?

And before we have a Super Bowl conversation, let's set the goal in what we would need to do to have that convoy.

Because I do think in your Dr. Strange language, there is only one way out of this.

There is one way that I think we could at least have a remote Super Bowl conversation.

And that is they must, as a non-negotiable, they must get the one seed.

There is no scenario in my mind that this team with this level of injuries can survive

without a byweek and playing one less playoff game, that they need to go three and oh.
