David raises a glass to toast the playoff victory over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers (01:35); then we discuss TV shows with dark endings, answering machine messages, talking with dads and wrestling with sons (05:40). Next, we consider how unique it is to have a head coach be the face of our NFL franchise (18:07) and wonder what it is that makes people root for teams (25:26).

Since the game was decidedly eventful, we begin by sharing our polarized reactions to Detroit Lions coach Dan Campbell's approach in the finale: start regulars and don't take a knee. Then we do a deeper dive into last week's ref fiasco against the Cowboys (07:00), and uncover revealing info about why the NFL's refereeing system fails so frequently (18:00). Along the way, we break down Marshall's controversial capture-the-flag triumph in sixth grade camp (09:52), and revisit the time Marshall volunteered to ref a...2024-01-0844 minSHIT2GRIT"We f---ing warned you, Brad"Before the thrilling Lions victory that wasn't against the Dallas Cowboys, David and Marshall consider where belief in a team comes from.

We find our answers to be a fascinating window into the psyche of futile fandom, an uncomfortable illustration of how the gut punches of a lifetime of losing can deeply impact perception. Fortunately, at the end of the episode, we get to celebrate something we've never seen: a Lions team that finally, to our great relief, kicked...2023-12-1636 minSHIT2GRIT"I'm uneasy"A tale of two uneasy Detroit Lions games: David and Marshall discuss the sinking feeling we had during both the Lions' victory over the New Orleans Saints, and their loss to the Chicago Bears. Is our uneasiness merely a remnant of past Lions pain? Or is this team, like so many Lions teams of our memories, destined to greet the playoffs with a whimper instead of a roar?

For us, Amazon Prime's Bye Bye Barry was like Al Capone's vault—or as David puts it in this episode, "a nothing burger." Quite simply, Bye Bye Barry failed to provide the new information it so dramatically promised us.

We recall: watching the Bears snatch defeat from the jaws of victory in signature same-old-Lions style; Hutchinson's strip-fumble-shove play that caused a safety; Jameson Williams starting to put things together; Jared Goff "at least doing laundry"—a phrase that describes finding a way to accomplish something on a difficult day.

In anticipation of "Bye Bye Barry," the Amazon Prime documentary that will finally explain why legendary Detroit Lions running back Barry Sanders abruptly and mysteriously walked away from football, David and Marshall have been speculating as to what reason Barry will give. In this episode, we find additional information that makes us wonder just how troubled Barry's father William might have been | "The second one is me" (05:31) | "Barry can come too" (10:02) | "Don't be scared to make mistakes" (15:08) | Theme music: Mr. Jukes and Barney Artist, "Blowin Steam (Open Up Your Mind)"

"Bye Bye Barry," the Amazon Prime documentary about why legendary Detroit Lions running back Barry Sanders walked away from football, premieres on November 20. In it, Sanders finally reveals the reason he abruptly and mysteriously left the game, at the height of his skill and within a season of becoming the NFL's all-time rushing yards leader. David and Marshall try to predict what Barry's explanation is going to be, by reading between the lines of quotes from Barry's Pro Football Hall of Fame induction ceremony (02:05), and from his decision to turn pro after his junior year at Oklahoma State (32:43...2023-11-1845 minSHIT2GRITGRITBITS, Week 10: 'The shootout'The first edition of GRITBITS, where we talk about the moments from each week of the 2023 Detroit Lions season that will live on in our memories. From the high-flying shootout versus the Los Angeles Chargers, we'll remember: wide receiver Jameson Williams’s block that sprang running back David Montgomery for a 75-yard touchdown; backup tight end Brock Wright going vertical for a perfect over-the-top TD pass from quarterback Jared Goff; the Lions going for it—yet again—on 4th and 2 with 1:47 left and the game tied; and Dan Campbell coming into his own as a tactician.

We also recall the manufactured "John Denver controversy" during the 1984 Detroit Tigers season (06:46), and use a perplexing quote from Lions general manager Brad Holmes to invent our own controversy: the Lions never met with underachieving wide receiver Jameson Williams before they drafted him (13:04). Ultimately, we decide the Lions are simply so good that the Williams dilemma just doesn't matter (18:32).

We wonder: what's it like for Pro Bowl Lions WR Amon-Ra St. Brown, a fourth-round draft pick who fuels himself by memorizing all the WRs drafted before him, to be teammates with Williams (03:13)? Is Lions coach Dan Campbell frustrated with Williams (10:44)? Does Lions general manager Brad Holmes think drafting Williams was a mistake (13:07)? Are we fans of Williams (15:33)? Does Lions quarterback Jared Goff think twice before he throws to Williams (18:48)?
