Between Dan Dickerson, Jason Benetti, Ken Daniels AND Ken Kal the TV and Radio booths in Detroit are absolutely top notch there is no better in the business
Annnnnd the tears are back. Mason Gillis is the definition of a BOILERMAKER. He does all the dirty work he has to to get the W. LEADER.
Toughest son of a b*tch I’ve ever watched play. He deserves this.
“Why not? Tell me why not? Just because they’re the Detroit Lions? Really? We’re gonna do that?” Rich Eisen said on Monday.
“Everything Dan Campbell said this team was going to be, it now is.”

At the time of this speech, the main takeaway from Dan Campbell was “I don’t care if you have one ass cheek and three toes, I will beat your ass.”
Looking back, there’s a much deeper meaning here. The coaches, the front office and the players all knew what he meant and they all bought in.
The culture of this Lions team was built off speeches just like this. Possibly built off this exact one.
“We’ll go a little longer. We’ll push a little harder. We’ll think a little deeper and little sharper.”
“Normally I’m 100% but I only need 85% to beat you.” (Think of Ragnow on that Vea block)
“…just gotta get a hold of them though. If you just get a hold of them and start dragging their ass out to the deep dark abyss…you can drown ‘em. And that’s what we have to be. That’s who we have to be. Because that’s our domain. Because we will tread water as long as it takes to fucking bury you. We’ll go as long as it takes because we can and we choose to.”
Everything Campbell said in this speech is the team the Lions have become. #AllGrit
