Ep: 126 – Lions Look To The Packers – The Detroit Lions Podcast

In this episode of the Detroit Lions Podcast, Chris and Case are joined by Jeff ‘The Riz’ Risdon to discuss the latest Detroit Lions news and views.

Further, we take a look at what to expect in the upcoming Packers game and what it might bring, followed by Case’s huge segment where he takes us ‘Around the Division’.

We’ve thought that we should wait until we release “Case’s Commemorative No Pants Calendar”, but we have decided to share this years’ Halloween pictures of our costumes.  Without further hesitation we present, Chris and Case:
