The Lion's Share: A Football Podcast

The 2025 schedule is here! Only five 1pm game slots, a host of 4:25 games and five primetime games. With one of the toughest strength of schedules in the league, will the Lions come out stronger? Lions will also play on Christmas in addition to their usual holiday of Thanksgiving.

Three Georgia players, two mullets, and seven players later the Lions finish off their draft. We react to the players, the trades, and the madness that was the NFL Draft for 2025. Everything from Tyleik Williams cat, to a new nickname for Isaac TeSlaa, it's here in this podcast. What did you all make of the draft?

The Lions find themselves in unfamiliar territory with the 28th overall pick in the 1st round of the NFL Draft. What positions do they target with that pick along with the other 6 picks? A chaotic episode full of blunders, technical difficulties and more. Let's go Lions.

Just as soon as Carlton Davis leaves for the Patriots, the Lions signed DJ Reed formerly of the NY Jets. An absolute stud at his position, DJ Reed brings his talents to Detroit. The Lions also have a spot to fill on the O-Line with Big Kevin Zeitler leaving for Tennessee. Can Mahogany step up? And finally, when will the Lions address the Edge/DE?

With $49 million to spend, will the Lions/Brad Holmes continue to value shop or finally make a big splash? We evaluate the options, give our two cents and ask you Shareholders: are the Lions garage saling too hard? And will it cost them long term vs teams like the Eagles who are aggressive in the market?

We're back Shareholders. In this episode we talk about all the coach departures and additions, we talk about the likelihood of Myles Garrett being added as a HUGE splash, and we look ahead to the Free Agency period starting in March. Lets go Lions

Complimentary football. Nope. Mistakes were made that we didn't see all year. They broke and couldn't overcome turnovers or themselves. Can they bring back the same controlled fury next year? And can they do so with new brand-new coordinators?

Alex Anzalone Hype Content. We are back and the Lions are Back. It's Lions vs the team that Ben Johnson turned down. It's the team that Dan Quinn has turned around vs the team that Dan Campbell has pushed over the mound. Dan vs Dan. Daniels vs Goff. It's a revenge game that goes all the way back to 1992 NFC Championship when Washington beat Detroit. Any concerns on rust? Rushing game opportunity, Amik vs Terry Mclaurin and MORE. Lets go Lions!

The Lions used to clinch #1 overall draft picks, now they clinch #1 seeds in Primetime on SNF. We recap the madness and close out the regular season. Gibbs with 4 TD's, LaPorta breaking records, St Brown records, Khalif Raymond record, Dan Campbell records, among many others. Lions finish the regular season 15-2 and head into the Divisional Round. Lets go Lions.

It all comes down to this in the regular season. Who can take that #1 Seed in the NFC and gain home field advantage and a first round bye? It's the Lions and Vikings in Sunday Night Football and it has all the makings to be a great finale to the regular season. We recap 49ers-Lions and get you ready for Vikings-Lions in Week 18. Lets go Lions.

The Lions head west for a Week 17 matchup vs the 49ers. The Lions head back to the scene of the crime, the rematch of the NFC Championship from last season.

We discuss, give out picks, and do fact or fictions. Lets go Lions and check out Week 17 picks on Instagram and TikTok!

Lions get their 13th win, most in franchise history with a win over the Bears. A keep it simple kind of day for the Lions as they take care of business. They get a big play from Jameson Williams with a connection from Jared Goff, 82 yarder. Gibbs filled in solidly with Monty out. Defense did enough and caused two turnovers. Commanders get a big win, with the Eagles loss the Lions could have the chance to take the #1 seed next week if the Packers can beat the Vikings.

The Lions are onto Chicago. They head west for a short trip in an outdoor road game that they have had so few of this season. Will a gritty performance be in store? We'll discuss Dan's motivation, Lions vs Bears Picks, fact or fictions, and NFL Week 16 picks. HUGE weekend of football as Saturday NFL is back and the College Football Playoffs officially kickoff in a 12 team format. Lets go Lions.

Well, it happened. The Lions dropped a game. And lost some more folks on Defense. Sam LaPorta went off in a big wav and so did St Brown, Goff was sharp. But the team overall could not overcome the start and never had the lead. Can we overreact to this and should Dan have gone for the onside kick so early?The good news is that the Lions still hold the tiebreaker over the Eagles. But what else does this mean for their playoffs and #1 seed? Lets go Lions.

Ahead of Lions vs Bills, the 12-1 Lions vs the 10-3 Bills. The Lions are back in black (uniforms) for the second time this season, bringing that motor city muscle. Can they go 2-0 in their alternates on the season? We'll talk about the matchup, injuries, and give you the always popular predictions, playoff picture and discuss if the NFC North is the best division ever? Lets go Lions!

We dig a little deeper into the Lions and Packers TNF game and discuss the implications of the #1 Seed in the NFC. Thanks but no thanks to the Panthers and the Falcons for giving us no help. We talk PFF grades, Prime AI broadcast, Bills/Lions next week and midseason mini-bye for the Lions. Lets go Lions, 12-1.

The Lions are playoff bound after a huge win over the Green Bay Packers. The Detroit Lions are now 12-1 (franchise record tying).
