Live from Southern California. This is the Jim Rome Show.

My clones, in the D. How y'all feeling? How y'all living right now?

Lions fan, this feeling, this feeling that you're feeling

is called a good feeling. It's a beautiful thing.

You can start getting used to it. You don't have to worry about the other shoe dropping. You don't have to worry about the sky falling. It's okay

It's okay to believe it's okay to feel great about feeling great like that brutal

OT loss to the Seahawks a couple of weeks back I told you when that happened

Lions fan do not trip, don't stress. You'll be good. You'll be good. Now I'm not sure that I meant you'd be this good. I said they'd be fine. I said they would be

fine but they're a lot more than fine. They're a legitimate contender and I don't just mean in the NFC north either.

They're legit. Don't get it twisted.

Forget about that final score last night.

That was a nice swift ass kicking.

Nice swift ass kicking.

What up, Pat?

A nice swift ass kicking, a legitimate hospital job, a mug job, a curb stomping, whatever you want to call it, it's fair, because that was damn near

Now that I've told you what it was, let me tell you what it was not. It was not a free thing. It was not an aberration. It was not a fluke. It was not an anomaly. It was nothing like that. And it sure as hell wasn't surprising either.

That's already Detroit's second road win in primetime this season.

That's their third primetime win in a row under head coach Dan Cannibal

We're gonna buy the kneecap off this dude and it was their 11th win in their last 14 games overall. This is why the big head and I were on

them last night and that's why there's legit hype around this team for the first
