You are Locked On Lions, your daily Detroit Lions podcast, part of the Locked On podcast network, your team every day.

And here we go, everybody, Locked on Lions on the Locked On Podcast.

Now we're going to Tuesday, December 29th and a Wednesday, December 30th, Matt Derry

with you.

And we're brought to you by our friends at Pepsi-Mate for football watching.

This football season is different.

Pepsi is here to get you ready for game day,

no matter how you watch this season. Big weekend of football, Pepsi, the refreshment you need

to power through Sunday, a huge day of games, and become a member of the League of Football

Watchers, because Pepsi isn't made for those who play the game, it's made for those who watch

at Pepsi, made for football watching.

Lions playing out the string Sunday against the Minnesota Vikings at Ford Field.

I've said it once, and I'll continue to say it all week.

Again, the Lions need to lose.

And they need to shut Matthew Stafford down.

There's no reason to play him with the rib and the finger and the ankle problems. But again, Stafford is going to fight tooth and nail to be out there and play on

Sunday. The Lions currently draft 7th in the first round. They lose. They could get up at two

as high as number three with some help, and that would be fantastic. Coming up on the show today, a player that Bob Quinn and many

other NFL GMs, let's be fair, but a player that Bob Quinn could have used, didn't draft, is now

an all-world, all-world defender. And Mike Tomlin talked about him today, and it just ticked me off.

We'll get into that.

Also, the Packers being lauded for having an unbelievable front office with Mark Murphy and Brian Gutakunst.
