00:00Oh, hey-o.
00:02Mads is in here. What's up, buddy?
00:04253 on Detroit Sports 105 on Mads.
00:06Can you give us an update, please, on
00:08who the Lions have signed, who is in town,
00:10what's going on?
00:12Because I'm in the middle of talking about the...
00:13I could talk baseball all day.
00:15You know what? I was so sick of baseball,
00:17and I watched maybe two winnings of last night's Yankee game.
00:21I'm baseballed out.
00:22But after talking to Nick, I get fired up talking.
00:24I just get fired up discussing it.
00:26By the way, Al Avila will talk tomorrow.
00:27And our own Denny Kapp will be there.
00:31Lions today, of course, getting ready for those Arizona Cardinals.
00:35So here's who practiced today so far.
00:37Okay.
00:38Let's start with that, please.
00:40Practice squad.
00:41Excuse me, guys that are out here on the field today.
00:45How did I use this?
00:47Here it is.
00:47Yeah.
00:48Yeah.
00:49Pettigrew is practicing.
00:51Good.
00:52Ansah.
00:53No Nada, no Bell, Lewis, or Ebron.
00:57Ebron can miss three weeks with a bruised knee.
00:59Earlier today, they signed Andre Flewell, an defensive tackle for the ninth time.
01:04Is that true?
01:04Yes.
01:05He's been on a team nine times?
01:07Yes.
01:07I knew it was something like that.
01:08He'll wear number 96.
01:10They had Jarrell Worthy in here.
01:12He was here earlier this year on the preseason.
01:15They did have Jarrell Worthy?
01:16They didn't have him.
01:17I said he was here.
01:18He was here.
01:18Okay.
01:18Kendrick Ellis from the Jets was here.
01:21So was Patriots defensive tackle Joe Vallado.
01:24None of those guys got signed.
01:26It could be a tight end from the practice squad that might be coming up.
01:31We'll keep you posted on that, as always.
01:33But Jim Caldwell speaking today, saying the Lions fans are more interested in us winning
01:37than making a statement to the league.
01:39And a lot of other players are kind of like echoing that.
01:43They're buying in to what their coaches say.
01:45Well, and again, I think Jim Caldwell is doing all he can to try to fan the flames of
01:50this.
01:50But it's 2-54 on Wednesday.
01:54Is somebody from the organization at the very top going to say something?
01:58Well, they're at the owners' meetings.
01:59I don't care.
02:00Where's Martin Mayhew?
02:01He's there.
02:02He's having to bring in players and watch workouts and everything else.
02:05I don't think he's at the owners' meetings?
02:06Martin Mayhew?
02:07No.
02:07No.
02:07No.
02:10You're funny.
02:12I wrote a statement.
02:13You can go to our Facebook page at Detroit Sports 105 and look at it.
02:15Martin Mayhew should take the statement that I wrote and issue it and send it out to the
02:21media so the fans can see that there's a pulse in Allen Park where they care.
02:24I know they care.
02:25I do.
02:26I've never been one to say, oh, the Fords don't care.
02:29All they care about is making money.
02:32No.
02:33I think they want to win.
02:34I do.
02:37Are they too loyal?
02:38Yes.
02:39Are there too many people in that organization still hovering around working that were part
02:43of the Millen regime?
02:45Yes.
02:45I brought up Scotty McEwen and Lance Newmark.
02:48These guys have been scouting for 20 years with this organization.
02:51It's a good gig.
02:52How the drafts?
02:53Right.
02:53You get in there, you'll be there forever.
02:57Even I don't have a good pension there.
02:59Ron, do you have the Adam Schefter clip?
03:00Can we play that, please?
03:01Yeah.
03:01Thanks, buddy.
03:03Adam Schefter was on Anthony.
03:03You have the line?
03:05Yeah, but we'll cut it off about a minute in.
03:07Anthony Gargano on 97.5 The Fanatic.
03:1297.5 or 95.7?
03:1397.5 The Fanatic in Philly.
03:15It's our sister station.
03:16Anthony does the morning show.
03:17He had Adam Schefter on earlier today.
03:19Listen closely to what Schefter said about the Lions situation and the NFL from Monday night.
03:26That was a year or two.
03:36Okay.
03:41All right, I'll let him know.
03:43I love your Czech grapefruit.
03:55Oh, that's a lemon.
03:56Oh.
03:57So long.
04:22So long.
04:23So long.
04:27Through?
04:34Through?
04:39He's won.
04:57there it is
05:03changes are made
05:06and he said at the beginning of the cut
05:07chances are someone's going to lose their job
05:10people are going to lose their jobs
05:11not here, not here
05:13it doesn't happen here
05:14that's my point
05:16so while we're sitting here waiting
05:19for Mayhew or somebody to say something
05:21the bottom line is if the fans can get as mad
05:24as they want and I think they would go
05:25into Arizona on Sunday at Ford Field
05:27at 4 o'clock if you're a fan
05:29you'd be a little bit more fired up knowing that the organization
05:31publicly said something to make you
05:33feel better and rallied you, a little bit
05:35because you did get screwed on Monday night
05:37but this notion of
05:39well, Adam Schefter said changes are coming
05:42I'll believe it when I see it
05:43changes are never made
05:47Scotty McEwen's been running scouting for
05:4930 years, Lance Newmark
05:51is now in charge of the draft
05:53it's a Millen hire
05:55been here since 98
05:58was here before Millen actually
06:00no, 98 Millen was
06:022001
06:03he's been here
06:06so Millen ended up promoting him
06:08when he had him
06:09and now he's being promoted now
06:10don't you see my point?
06:12I do see
06:12that's why that audio is very very fascinating
06:14you're listening to WMGC FM HD1 Detroit
06:16there's so many things you can pull out of what Schefter said
06:18I wish we could go to other teams
06:19like Green Bay
06:20and get some of their up and coming guys
06:22and bring them here
06:23right
06:24but that doesn't seem to ever happen
06:25well the Lions signed
06:26they added Brian Zanders
06:28remember he was a former Broncos
06:29everybody said
06:30oh look
06:30Zanders already has his hands on things
06:32and fingerprints on things
06:33the draft was so good in 2013
06:35well now
06:36now we're sitting here talking about
06:37they don't have enough talent
06:38Mark Fellauer is here
06:40Drew and Mark coming up
06:41a little cross talk
06:42what's up?
06:42do you have an issue
06:43with what he said too
06:44about reviewing
06:44that play
06:45that play being reviewed
06:47plays that impact the game
06:49there's plays that impact the game
06:51in the first quarter
06:52correct
06:52I know this one's a little more obvious
06:54because there's what
06:55a minute 40
06:56minute 30 left
06:57well I think he's saying
06:58kind of what Belichick said
06:59is if we're going to have a review
07:00let's just review everything
07:01well that's fine
07:02then review everything
07:03none of this
07:04goes to the booth
07:06in the last two minutes
07:06why can't they do it
07:07like college football
07:08right
07:08where every place is reviewed
07:09well this ought to be reviewed too
07:12just do everything
07:13well I know
07:13they're reviewing touchdowns
07:15and turnovers
07:15and challenges
07:16just do everything
07:17here's the problem
07:18do you know why you can't do that
07:19why?
07:20money
07:21because what they
07:22yes because here's what they do
07:23they review certain things
07:25right
07:26yeah
07:26so we all see the replay
07:27five times
07:28we know it's going to be reviewed
07:30oh my god
07:31he definitely was juggling that ball
07:32then what do they do
07:34the official makes the announcement
07:35that they're going to review it
07:36which we already know
07:37to overturn it
07:38then they do what?
07:39they go to commercial
07:40why?
07:41to make money
07:42yeah
07:43so then they run extra spots
07:45everybody gets paid
07:46and then it takes too long
07:47so they don't want
07:48they're going to have plenty of commercials
07:50but if you do that
07:51they're worried the games
07:52are going to go four and a half hours
07:53it's so stupid
07:55well then they need to find a balance between
07:57how can it work for college football
07:58but not for professionals
08:00I think college
08:01they move it very quickly
08:03I love the NHL replay system
08:04the ref goes over there
08:05he gets on the phone
08:06boom
08:06it's done
08:07it's this NFL system of
08:09okay we're going to now review this
08:11it's under review
08:11oh we'll be back
08:13then a two minute thing is sponsored
08:14then he comes out and announces
08:15we've already seen it 30 seconds ago
08:17just review it and go
08:18they should start from scratch too
08:20it doesn't matter what was called
08:20just start from scratch
08:22this drives me nuts about it too
08:23we all can watch it
08:25and have a decision made
08:25in the first 10-20 seconds
08:27we're right more than they are
08:29all you need to see is like
08:30three different angles
08:31I like college footballs
08:32I know
08:33it works
08:34you don't even know
08:35that they're actually doing it
08:36that's how quick it is
08:37but now the other issue is
08:38do you really want to
08:39start reviewing judgment calls
08:41like what
08:43pass interference
08:45no
08:45pass interference
08:46no
08:46pass interference
08:47no
08:47is the worst called thing
08:50in football
08:50if you either throw the flag
08:52or you don't
08:52I want to review that
08:54I wish they would review
08:55how they call it
08:56they never seem to
08:58know the rules
08:59give the defensive backs
09:00a chance at least
09:01well what about the balls
09:02that are uncatchable
09:03there's so many uncatchable balls
09:04they call interference on
09:05I don't understand that
09:06hey with today's gloves
09:07everything's catchable
09:09with today's gloves
09:09I also think today
09:10would be a great day
09:11you know
09:12they find the kid
09:13from the Rams
09:14who caught a touchdown pass
09:15what was his name
09:16Stedman Bailey
09:16caught a touchdown pass
09:18and took the ball
09:19and slept on
09:20and used it as a pillow
09:21and he got a $9,500 fine
09:23they announced that
09:24why not announce today
09:25that hey
09:25back judge Greg Wilson
09:27is being suspended
09:28for two weeks
09:28he blew that call
09:29and he's not working
09:30the next couple weeks
09:31they are great
09:32it probably did cost them
09:33money
09:33that guy's not going to work
09:34in the playoffs
09:35I mean every ref is great
09:36on every play
09:37it shouldn't work
09:37this coming week though
09:38well
09:38and announce it
09:40so we at least know
09:41I don't think the public
09:42knows that
09:43he probably will lose money
09:44because of that
09:45by the way
09:46remember the guy
09:46that had his hand
09:47on the flag
09:48the referee
09:48that he was going to throw
09:50the reason he had his hand
09:51on the flag
09:51is he was looking
09:53at Theo Riddick
09:54running out of bounds
09:55and then running to the end zone
09:56and if he would have
09:58recovered the fumble
09:59it would have been illegal
10:00against the Lions
10:00why?
10:02because he's out of bounds
10:03once he's out
10:04he can't come back
10:05so that's the fumble
10:06yes
10:06I'm going to replace it
10:07and take him to come
10:08with that one
10:08but if
10:09the guy that fumbles
10:12it has to recover it
10:13that's the holy rule
10:14from the Raiders
10:16with under two minutes
10:18but what if
10:18Wright hit it first though
10:20it doesn't matter
10:21Calvin Johnson
10:22fumbled it
10:23Calvin Johnson
10:24is the only line
10:25that can recover that ball
10:26under two minutes left
10:27because in the first half
10:29of the Carolina game
10:30this past week
10:31Jonathan Stewart fumbled
10:32and Dixon picked it up
10:33and ran it in
10:34but it was in the first quarter
10:35and it was not under two minutes
10:37it's got that aesthetic
10:37this Raiders play
10:38it's based on
10:39it's so brilliant
10:40Dave Casper
10:42Dave Casper just takes
10:43two hands and chucks
10:44that thing
10:4420 yards short
10:45I know
10:45but that's why
10:46the running back
10:47that was kicking it
10:47was it
10:48Mark Van Egan
10:49I think it was
10:50it might have been
10:51Barb Mother Hubbard
10:52they were the Patriots
10:53of that period
10:54no doubt about it
10:55oh they were awesome
10:56they were bastards
10:58they were good
10:59Tom likes them
11:01but doesn't like the Patriots
11:02I know
11:02just because he called
11:04them the Patriots
11:05doesn't make them
11:05the Patriots
11:06they were the Raiders
11:07they've been the rules
11:08they were the Raiders
11:09don't get him angry today
11:11I had to apologize
11:13to him earlier
11:13get him angry
11:14just ask him a question
11:15what did you have to apologize for
11:16he and I were texting
11:17for the show
11:18about what
11:19about here
11:20about here
11:21border bus never asked
11:22it was work related
11:24so it's all good though
11:26did you hear Bruce Arians
11:28what he said about
11:29mass effort
11:29Tom's trying to
11:31change the subject
11:31I felt bad about something
11:37and I texted him back
11:38that's all
11:39I said you know what
11:40that was uncalled for
11:41by me
11:42when I make a mistake
11:43I will
11:43oh that sounds interesting
11:46I know
11:47I want to know
11:47what the Tom is
11:48can we go on a break now
11:50it's a beauty of crosstalk
11:51you'll get a break right now
11:53come on just fill it out
11:55let me
11:56whose side
11:57would I argue with you too Tom
11:58I think Mark would have
12:02taken my side
12:03no doubt
12:04oh you know what
12:06never mind
12:07I'm just saying
12:08I know how Mark operates
12:10a little bit
12:10what how
12:11what's that
12:12oh
12:13I think you would have
12:14taken my side
12:15okay
12:15but I didn't really
12:16we're on the same team
12:18we're all on the same team
12:20we're all on the same team
12:21we're discussing
12:22what event to come
12:23well you can be on the same team
12:24and have different opinions
12:25of what works
12:26in terms of
12:27some sporting events
12:28that we're talking about
12:29oh I think I know
12:31where this is going
12:31it was a coverage discussion

12:49I was bored
12:49I was bored out of my mind
12:50it was pretty boring
12:51it was a terrible game
12:52and that's exactly why
12:53you can't
12:53the Yankees had a triple A lineup
12:55they had a triple A lineup
12:56they quit
12:57CeCe Samathia wasn't pitching

15:38throwback tight end
15:39in the back of the end zone
15:40very similar to the
