About this episode
Is the outcry over Penei Sewell’s “Protector of the Year” snub justified, or did Chicago Bears’ Joe Thuney truly earn the crown? Matt Dery takes on Lions fans’ outrage, tipping his cap to Thuney’s pivotal impact on the Bears’ offensive line and reminding Detroit faithful that snubs are part of the game—even when hometown heroes like Aidan Hutchinson and Sewell are overlooked on award night. The episode shifts to trade speculation, as Maxx Crosby’s cryptic comments spark rumors about a potential Detroit Lions blockbuster move. Can the Lions land Crosby, or is the focus better placed on defensive upgrades through other means after missing the playoffs? Plus, Aidan Hutchinson names Brian Branch the ultimate “badass” teammate, and Dery connects the dots between Super Bowl contenders’ elite defenses and Detroit’s path to contention. Don’t miss this action-packed breakdown of NFL awards, trade rumors, and Lions strategy. #firstlisten Everydayer ClubIf you never miss an episode, it’s time to make it official.
