| 0:06.0 | With me, as always, is Eric Schlett from USA Today, Lions Wire. |
| 0:09.5 | Eric is also our Detroit magazine's number two most beloved sports columnist or blogger for the year of 2020, which is almost up. |
| 0:18.5 | Also, Eric is not at Eddie P. Lions fan, which if they put Vegas odds on it, |
