Pride of Detroit

Superfan Megan Stefanski has been named not just the Detroit Lions Fan of the Year, but the entire NFL Fan of the Year. Megan’s love for the boys in Honolulu blue was inspired by her father, Donnie “Yooperman” Stefanski. She’s spent over a decade driving nearly 700 miles from the Upper Peninsula down to Ford…

C.J. Gardner-Johnson has never been afraid to share what’s on his mind, and that was very much the case this week when he was asked to reflect on his time with the Detroit Lions last season. Gardner-Johnson, who now plays for the Super Bowl-bound Philadelphia Eagles, called his time with the Lions “hell,” and claims…

Our 2025 Detroit Lions free agency preview has arrived at the special teams side of things. After missing the entire 2024 season due to a torn hamstring, kicker Michael Badgley sat on the IR and watched incoming rookie Jake Bates come in and take the job from him. Badgley was the early favorite to win…

During Thursday night’s NFL Honors award show, NFL Network reporter Steve Wyche managed to capture a photo of both Detroit Lions quarterback Jared Goff and defensive end Aidan Hutchinson surrounding Browns pass rusher Myles Garrett in a conversation. If you’re the kind of person who loves to speculate, you could probably be convinced that the…

The annual NFL Honors show took place Thursday night in New Orleans, and I believe the awards shook out the way people thought they would. At least for the most part. In a brief respite of football-related pain for the state of Illinois, former Detroit Lions’ offensive coordinator Ben Johnson took home Assistant Coach of…

According to a report from Adam Schefter, the Detroit Lions have hired former NFL quarterback Bruce Gradkowski as an offensive coaching assistant. Gradkowski enjoyed 11 years in the NFL, bouncing around several franchises since entering the league as a sixth-round pick of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in 2006. Over his career, he started 20 games,…

Our 2025 Detroit Lions free agency preview series has reached one of the team’s biggest cult favorites. Almost overnight, depth offensive tackle Dan Skipper became a Detroit sports legend for being on the wrong end of a terrible officiating snafu. He’s become synonymous both locally and league-wide with the term “reporting as eligible,” and he’s…

In just a few days, the 59th Super Bowl will take place, and for the 59th consecutive time, it will not feature the Detroit Lions. This year, it felt like the Lions may finally break the streak, as they spent a good chunk of the year as Super Bowl favorites. They finished with a franchise-best…

Dave Birkett of the Detroit Free Press is down at the Super Bowl in New Orleans gathering some good Detroit Lions content this week. His conversation with former Falcons general manager Thomas Dimitroff is worth watching to hear about his experience after Atlanta had to deal with several coaches leaving following their Super Bowl run.…

Our 2025 Detroit Lions free agent series continues. We’re breaking down each and every single decision the team must make with their pending free agent class ahead of this offseason including what their expectations were coming into the 2024 season, how they performed, and ultimately their chances of returning to Detroit for the next season.

As we all prepare to learn about how the Detroit Lions offense will change under several new coaches, which includes new offensive coordinator John Morton, Lions receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown revealed on his podcast this week that he has a long, shared history with another new coach. Former Stanford head coach—and now Lions pass game…

Many Detroit Lions fans understandably have their focus on Myles Garrett and his trade request, but there’s another potential trade on the horizon than could involve Detroit. Earlier this week, Los Angeles Rams veteran receiver Cooper Kupp posted on social media that the Rams have informed him they intend to trade him this offseason.

The Philadelphia Eagles are trying to prevent a three-peat by the Kansas City Chiefs, something absolutely unheard of given the parity of the NFL. We got the worst possible matchup out of all the teams that made it in the playoffs, but hey, there is clearly a lesser evil in Super Bowl 59.

It’s not every day you find a NFL Defensive Player of the Year up for grabs, and certainly not one of Myles Garrett’s caliber. But the Cleveland Browns and Garrett seem to be at loggerheads, and while the Browns aren’t trading him yet, his intentions are well known and everyone’s just trying to figure out…

We’re breaking down each and every single decision the team must make with their pending free agent class ahead of this offseason including what their expectations were coming into the 2024 season, how they performed, and ultimately their chances of returning to Detroit for this next season.

On Monday, former Defensive Player of the Year Myles Garrett requested a trade from the Cleveland Browns so that he can chase a Super Bowl. Naturally, a lot of Detroit Lions fans’ ears perked up at the news, and for good reason. Seemingly, the Lions are in a pretty darn good position to make a…

Myles Garrett went public on Monday morning, officially requesting for a trade from the Cleveland Browns after eight seasons with the team that drafted him first overall in 2017. It’s not often that a player of Garrett’s skill becomes available. He’s a four-time All Pro, earned Defensive Player of the Year honors in 2023, and…

Detroit Lions playoff tickets were incredibly expensive this year, and some fans went to extreme lengths to get into Ford Field to see what could have been an incredible Super Bowl run. Take, for example, Bryson Machonga. He went viral the week of the playoffs for opting to sell his autographed Matthew Stafford jersey to…

The Detroit Lions offense will face massive changes in their coaching staff in 2025, and because most of the players are on break, we won’t get their opinions on the staff alterations until they come back for offseason workouts (unless they have a podcast). However, quarterback Jared Goff was in front of the media this…

While the chants may cool off for a while (maybe it’s time to give it a little break anyways), Detroit Lions quarterback Jared Goff continues to endear himself to the city. This time by being part of the group that is bidding to bring a WNBA team back to the city of Detroit.
