that it revolve around the Detroit Lions.

1:10.7

We are here to talk about those things and a whole lot more. There is so much to get into in this podcast. We're going to talk about Rodwood continuing to put his foot in his mouth apparently and continue to rival with the fans, whether intentionally or unintentionally, the Lions have brought back another part of their secondary from last year that we were all kind of clamoring for. And I think, if I'm speaking for myself, probably thought they weren't going to bring back, but they did. And in the second segment of this podcast, we are going to be giving our dream and nightmare draft scenarios because we are getting that much closer to the NFL draft. And at this point in time, this is the closest we're probably going to get Jeremy to doing a mock draft. So let's just continue to like edge him closer and closer in that direction before.

Also joining us is your editor-in-chief over at pride of Detroit.com. Jeremy Rizeman at Detroit Online over there on Twitter. Jeremy, how are you feeling? I feel like I just saw you like not too long ago. We may have talked earlier today. Yeah, no, I'm feeling good. And yeah, just over two weeks away is kind of crazy. It really feels like it snucked up on us. And I think that's just the nature of it being like almost mid-April draft instead of late-April draft. Because I think once we turn over to April, it's like, oh, it's draft season. It's like draft season and it's two weeks away. Oh, okay. It's a lot of things going on.
