Lions & Aliens & Nicknames oh my! feat. Andrew from Alien Theorists Theorizing Podcast

04/16/21 • 96 min

The guys were back in the lab for the SECOND time this week! You wanted more content, we listened, we delivered. This episode features special guest Andrew from the Alien Theorists Theorizing podcasts, found exclusively on Spotify here: https://open.spotify.com/show/38hrYEIlNzErO7XtfdZUaS?si=e4WpgdL4QhidaiRscp5wnA Andrew is a lifelong Detroit Lions fan and the second straight guest to claim their team has accomplished the 0-16 title. Andrew bring his passion of the Detroit Lions to the pod, to educate us on everything you need to know about #OnePride Football talks kickoff (12:05) with the news of Julian Edelman's 69% chance of retirement. Find out whether any of the guys think Edelman is worthy of being in the Hall of Fame. Let us know @ballhawks_pod whether you think he deserves to be inducted with a gold jacket. The guys then dive into the Matthew Stafford-Jared Goff trade (26:41) of a while back. It was obvious how highly Andrew thinks of Stafford, but outlined why this is a move the Lions fanbase should be excited for. Gears shift towards the NFL draft (39:40) which is only two weeks away. The guys get Andrew to react to a bunch of different scenarios for the Lions top picks in the draft. Who does Andrew think the Lions should draft at #7 overall? Or does he want them to trade up or down? An episode wouldn't be complete without another great Third Down segment (63:41). This week's topic is the best NFL nicknames! The good, the bad and the very ugly (and maybe slightly offside) nicknames of NFL players. Can Steve get his first Third Down segment win? Or will he keep the winless streak going like the 2008 Lions and 2017 Browns? Only one way to find out! A huge thanks as always to our listeners and supporters.
