00:00 John, what do you make of Mike
00:02 Terrico's asterisk comment after
00:03 that went for the Lions in Casey?
00:05 You think Lions fans should be up in arms
00:07 to regarding that comment from Terrico?
00:09 Yeah, Vito afterwards.
00:11 Obviously the broadcast is being sent
00:13 out to Chiefs fans and Lions fans
00:15 and across the nation.
00:16 I just thought the comment was unnecessary.
00:18 Being that Mike Terrico understands
00:20 the history of the Lions,
00:21 being that he's a local broadcaster
00:23 that has now done great things
00:25 on a national scale.
00:26 I just felt like yes,
00:28 even though he's a national player,
00:29 even though he did praise the Lions
00:31 all throughout the broadcast,
00:33 and even within that same sentence,
00:35 he talked about the Lions after
00:36 defeating the Chiefs kind of arriving.
00:38 But I think that the word asterisk in
00:41 regards to this football game was unnecessary.
00:43 The Detroit Lions also are dealing
00:45 with a bunch of situations too.
00:46 They didn't have Jameson Williams,
00:48 and I think that for Mike Terrico,
00:50 it probably was a comment that
00:51 should have been left out.
00:53 Even though Chris Jones and Travis Kelsey
00:55 were not participating in the contest,
00:57 that happens all the time in the
00:59 National Football League.
00:59 Injuries happen.
01:00 Contract situations happen.
01:01 I just think that for Mike Terrico,
01:03 he did explain himself and and really
01:05 wanted it to be pointed out that he
01:07 did have a further statement besides
01:09 the asterisk comment that it was within
01:12 another sentence where he was praising
01:13 the Lions, but Vito quite frankly,
01:15 the word that upset people the most,
01:17 even if he spent the entire broadcast
01:20 praising the Lions was asterisk.
01:21 Look, Vito Dan Campbell.
01:23 I thought I had the best response.
01:25 Is there an asterisk next to the
01:27 one in all record? No,
01:29 but I do think that fans once they
01:31 realize that this football team is
01:33 on to bigger and better things,
01:35 they'll move on from this comment.
01:37 The Lions are earning a lot more respect,
01:40 but I just think it's done a little
01:42 bit more to hear it from somebody
01:44 who should understand the impact
01:46 that it would have by saying it.
