All right, we'll go to the people to hell with football today and just wear you at with it. Micah Parsons got traded to the Packers. You wanted a silver lining. I can offer you one thing. Because I do think division got tougher. I don't think the sky is falling. I don't think the Lions can't all of a sudden fulfill their goals. But it's a nightmare for that he's in Green Bay. The one positive, all right, they traded Kenny Clark. Did the Packers get better stopping the run?

No. fulfill their goals, but it's a nightmare for these in Green Bay. The one positive, all right, they traded Kenny Clark.

Did the Packers get better stopping the run?

No.

They didn't.

If there's a positive, there you go.

You want to tell me they softened up their underbelly a little bit?

I'm not mad at that take.

But the idea of Gary and Parsons together is, that's terrifying.

Right. So, I don't know. But if you're celebrating the fact, oh, when we play them, no, Clark's not there.

Well, you have a brand new interior of your offensive line. So I've kind of figured that as a wash.

We'll go to the people, see where everybody's at. I mean, did the division get tougher? Yes, it's okay to say it. If your rival who's right kind of neck and neck with you gets a first ballot Hall of Famer in his prime, I think it's okay to just tip your cap and go, all right, well, that's going to be more difficult. Let's go to John 971. Johnny, what's going on, buddy buddy? Hey, how's going, guys? Good, John. What's up? I just feel like it's kind of like you guys are both ways. Like, it's bad and it's good. I feel like we don't really know what it's going to be, but I feel like the last guy that called in said that the defense wasn't Super Bowl caliber before the injuries. We were almost Super Bowl caliber with the injuries. So in a way, the team did get better. Yes, I understand they should add another rush. I'm not saying they shouldn't do that. But I think people are going the other way where they're freaking out way too much about this. I think we beat the Packers pretty soundly the first time. And yes, the second time it wasn't a sound, but I feel like, yes, the division did harder to win today? Absolutely.

But I don't think the lines don't have a shot or they're not. Like, it seems like there's some people that feel like we have no shot now, and I just don't get that. No, and that's, listen, you can't react to the fringe, John. there's going to be people who say things that are way too negative and then there'll'll be people like caller Eric that their head is in the clouds. Everything is awesome. John, I'm with you. I think you've got the right perspective. It got more difficult. Nothing's impossible. But yeah, I mean, John, how about this? Let's just have some fun for a second. If we broke into coverage at 502 and the Lions had just traded for Michael Parsons, what's your reaction? Oh, I mean, I would be thrilled. If I was a Packers fan right now, I'd be beyond thrilled. Okay. We just, the Packers just went from being maybe a fringe, the most fringe Super Bowl team that there could be to they're right in the pack now. There you go. All the other teams. So that's, and John, that's where you're, we're sympathetico. That's the point. You're willing to say,

yeah, this guy's really good. And it's,

so that has to mean something.

Let's go to Hans 971. Hans, what's going on?

Hey, what's up, Gus? How you doing it? Not too bad. You know, hey, look, is he a good player? Yeah, Parsons, definitely a good player. Would we all be salivating right now if the Lions got him? Absolutely. But at the end of the day, the guy's a little bit of a turd. I sat out training camp. Why?

Better than an average player. If he were to come to Detroit and we said he's a lion, are you kidding me? You would just be like, well, he's okay? I completely agree with you. I completely agree with you. But he's not a lion, so I can look at it with kind of a little bit of a cynical approach and say, you know, is this guy, you know, is he as good as Hutchinson?

Let me ask you. So I can look at it with kind of a little bit of a cynical approach and say, you know, is this guy, you know, is he as good as Hutchinson?

Let me ask you that. Who would you rather have? Would you rather have Parsons or Hutchinson? I'll take Parsons. I'll tell you. How about this? He's had at least 12 and a half every year of his four-year deal. he's a first ballot hall of famer and he's not coming off a broken leg yeah hans they're the same

player but if you if you want to do it yeah sure i'll take michael parsons there you go where's your

big win there the whole idea was to put him together correct and i can give you this here oh by the
