ANNOUNCEMENT: Very excited to announce Brand25 Media will officially become Make The Turn on January 1st, 2023!
From an operational standpoint, we want to emphasize that nothing changes at all.
Our service offerings, our team of 8 staff members, and our mission is the same!
The Lions shouldn't have settled for 5 FG's. Agreed. The Lions got screwed on several calls by NFL refs. Agreed. For once would a coach like say Matt Patricia or a QB like say Matthew Stafford, oh I don't know...TAKE THE FINE AND LIGHT THE NFL ON FIRE, STICK UP FOR YOURSELF
So Baker Mayfield was the No. 1 overall pick drafted into a HORRIFIC organization and had to overcome an even worse head coaching situation...yet in year 3 he notches his first playoff win? More than Matthew Stafford in a dozen years with the Lions? Ok good night everybody!
Totally overwhelmed watching my daughter enter the world yesterday morning! ❤️ Impossible to describe how brave both mom and baby were & happy everything went smoothly so I can be a

While Saturday was a really rough night I’m very grateful I was at

to be able to say a few words about our friend Jamie Samuelsen. He was so selfless and encouraging over the years. Keep his beautiful family in your thoughts ❤️

GRAPHIC VIDEO: Detroit Police Chief James Craig released body-cam footage of the officer-involved shooting this afternoon.
The video shows the suspect, identified as Hakim Littleton, pull a weapon on officers and fire at the officers before officers return fire.
For the “Lions filled a need” crowd. You filled a need that Bob Quinn’s buddy Matt Patricia created by running an all pro corner in Darius Slay out of town. Oh and on top of that the Dolphins CLEARLY wanted Tua but you couldn’t make a trade down and STILL get your CB at 5

One guarantee to come out of NFL Draft tonight: Ed Oliver will be a hall of famer for the Bills because the Lions passed on him for yet another first round tight end
This one hurts. Jamie was such a great mentor to me, a friend, and one of the sharpest/wittiest minds I’ve ever been around. Feel awful for Christy and their 3 wonderful children ❤️ devastated
I am so sad and sorry to pass this along, at the family's request. Jamie Samuelsen, the best damn friend you could ever have, a tremendous broadcaster on
@971theticketxyt
passed away tonight at 48. He was surrounded by his wonderful family, and he went peacefully.
I think I speak for everyone when I say the Detroit sports scene needed this Yzerman news in the worst possible way. Huge jolt of excitement as 19 is about to be introduced here at LCA
Isn't it being reported this staffer went to other games to collect the signs? If that's the case, how is he on the Michigan sideline during their games?
For a year, Big Ten coaches have known about the Michigan analyst pictured below who they say “spearheaded” UM’s alleged sign-stealing system.
One coach once confronted the UM analyst: “We know what kind of shit you are doing and it’s f***** up.”
Campbell gonna get criticized but he knows the Lions can’t be worse than the 3 seed. You have a chance to end the game and get 1 or 2 seed…go for the win every damn time! No issue with it
I have some really exciting news to share with you guys...Been a really long time coming BUT...I’m now officially an Executive Member at
@Costco
! Thank you all for the support. This Kirkland baby formula deal just hits different
Just imagine if the Pistons had listened to me a year ago, you could’ve tanked for a chance at ZION WILLIAMSON or JA MORANT. That embarrassing sweep against the Bucks was fun though!
All seriousness: Does Bob Quinn have any clue what he’s doing? Sign Diggs to extension...trade him for nothing. Sign Snacks to extension...cut him. He legitimately looks unfit for the job, and that’s not even adding in his horrific drafting
#Lions
After the Texans’ latest loss today, J.J. Watt was asked how he and his team would be able to bounce back next week. His answer is required watching for many.
Still not over the fact the Packers are willing to take Aaron Rodgers potential replacement, when he’s won a super bowl, but the Lions won’t even entertain the thought of life after Matthew Stafford when he’s won 💩
Two and a half preseason games in: Derrick Rose should be the Pistons starting PG (with minute restrictions). We should never have to see Reggie Jackson on the court in a Pistons uniform again. Just be done with it already
Feels incredible to be able to decide...all by myself...whether or not I’m gonna go sit down at a restaurant or bar again. Beyond happy for our small businesses today ❤️ they’ve been treated horribly by our state
I love the Lions fans that are mad the team sent a team official to workout. Have had several Lions fans say "if they sign him I'M DONE!" Signing CK is what it would take to stop supporting this awful franchise? Not, oh I don't know, a lifetime of losing and embarrassment? LOL
Today’s NFL wire listed seven teams as having attended Colin Kaepernick’s workout on Saturday, per source.
The seven: Detroit, Kansas City, New York Jets, Philadelphia, San Francisco, Tennessee, Washington.
Felt like this redemption story for Tom Izzo was being written for a while, only fitting Michigan State gets back to the Final Four and beats Duke in the process. Huge moment for him and the Spartans. What a game
Man
@KyleBogey
has not only been a great coworker... but more importantly a great friend. This really sucks. No doubt he’ll be more than fine. And with a baby due next weekend, he‘ll definitely have his hands full!! Really looking forward to his next chapter.
Rebuilds don’t have to take forever guys. Memphis is a glowing example of why getting top picks is HUGE. Pistons just have zero clue who’s running the show and are so worried about being an embarrassment they don’t realize they already have been one for over a decade. Oh Detroit
@bobwojnowski
Running off yet ANOTHER partner!! 😂😂 Thanks Woj, fun few years and I learned a ton from ya, like how to loosen up on the intensity and have some laughs! (No I’m not naming my baby Ginny). Cheers🥃
If you’re Matthew Stafford how have you not reached your breaking point dealing with this? How much more do you take before you try to force your way out?
Please don’t give me your moral victory, “they fought to get back in it” crap. The Lions lost to the Jets and 49ers, looking sloppy for various reasons in both. And No. 9 has been horrendous. You don’t deserve a break when you put together 8 quarters of trash. Enough is enough
Pistons down 8 to a Mavs team missing 4 of 5 starters including Luka Doncic and yet owner Tom Gores is up throwing shirts into the stands. And he believes they’re headed somewhere or contending. I feel bad for us here in Detroit. It’s so embarrassing and infuriating.
Miguel Cabrera’s remaining contract with the

following what is looking like an awful 2018 season:
2019: $30M
2020: $30M
2021: $30M
2022: $32M
2023: $32M (Age 40)
Matt Shepard gives a special shout out to longtime Metro Detroit sports-talk radio personality, Jamie Samuelsen, who recently revealed his battle with cancer. Best wishes to him and his family.
I thought I was getting dumber watching sports non-stop everyday for a living. Turns out watching these daily press conferences has done far more damage and in a much shorter time.
Love that I got yelled at by callers last week for even suggesting the Lions could be the worst team in the division. Update: They are...and it’s not even close
TNT showing Pistons/Mavs highlights & Charles/Shaq/Kenny killing Detroit for barely winning. “That’s ridiculous. Come on Pistons. They barely beat a three legged horse. Isaiah Thomas rolling over in his grave. Mavs were like a team playing with no arms. That’s a G league team”
Joe Biden wears his mask while walking *by himself* to greet media. Upon standing within 6 feet of the media for a couple questions he pulls the mask down to speak. He then puts the mask back on to walk *by himself* to his plane….what are we doing lol
The problem with this entire Urban Meyer defense/excuse train/pyramid of lies is that while the media remains disgusted, the fans don’t care and will give the piece of garbage a standing O every game. That’s a real issue
Pretty incredible that year one under Mel Tucker and you feel better about where that MSU program is gonna go as opposed to year six under Harbaugh in Ann Arbor. And there’s WAY MORE talent at Michigan.
How...on the day sports betting goes live in Michigan...does the NBA suspend the season indefinitely and it feels like the NCAA tournament will be canceled. What kind of sick torture is this?!?
This whole “Michigan doesn’t have enough talent to beat Ohio state” thing is hilarious. It’s as if we’ve never witnessed a lesser talented team win a game EVER haha. Come on. Did MSU have more talent than OSU a few years back? Does Auburn have more talent than Bama? Gimme a break
Not even kidding about this, Pistons fans are gonna start a petition to start Derrick Rose and bench Reggie Jackson. Crowd absolutely loves him. And for good reason.
The Dolphins literally tanked for Tua. You mean to tell me the Lions didn’t know that and couldn’t have taken Tua, told the Dolphins if they wanted him they gotta draft Okudah and give up 18 or 26 or 39? That’s big business that Bob Quinn and the Lions aren’t capable of
#SOL
The Lions are making such a big deal about beating the Packers yesterday you’d think it was a playoff win. Tells you everything you need to know about the organization. Maybe they’ll raise a banner “swept Packers in 2018”
The Pistons moving Reggie Bullock is encouraging from one standpoint: This screams of an Ed Stefanski/Malik Rose move only because this doesn’t help a playoff push, hurts the team immediately. But was right move long term
Gov. Whitmer to propose 45-cent increase in gas tax to fix Michigan roads.
Whitmer's office said this would be a fuel tax increase of 15 cents per gallon every six months as opposed to it taking effect all at one time.
Is it still a “dumb ass question” to ask Mark Dantonio if he regrets not making significant changes to his offense prior to another embarrassing season 🤔
#pridecomesbeforethefall
Have the green light this week to be able to share a few more projects/partnerships I’ll be involved in moving forward! Really excited to talk with and see you all more soon. Blake is pumped 😎
Can we just take a second to appreciate what a treat these Michigan/Michigan State basketball games have been the last several years. Really fun basketball, great pace, scoring, passion, drama. Awesome stuff
This news further solidifies how clueless Sheila Ford is. The Lions should’ve drafted a QB last year but are now well behind the 8 ball and have no plan. Long rebuild once again ahead but it could’ve been avoided. More

@Lions
Still annoyed by Matt Patricia’s BS ‘can you sit up, be professional & have respect for the process’ directed at a media member today. He works for an organization that has disrespected its fans for our entire lifetime. The Lions are lucky anyone even cares to read about the team
Let me understand the State of Michigan’s logic here...they say it’s ok to have 50 people in a 100 person capacity INDOOR restaurant but it’s only ok to have 1,000 people in a 40,000 capacity ballpark OUTSIDE? If you think that’s logical I don’t know what to tell you...
My worry heading into this game was Jim Harbaugh wanting to win it his way, running ball, conservative passes. It’s happening and it’s now too late to adjust. How do you not spread OSU out and utilize Nico Collins/DPJ/Tarik Black. Embarrassing game plan
10 year NFL veteran quarterback Matthew Stafford everybody. What an embarrassment. Another season over before it’s even halfway done. See ya at the draft Detroit!
Give Lions fans one thing they want and that's for just ONE of these awful post game press conferences to make them feel good instead of what I just watched with "um well you guys have a better view of it. We're playing the Packers not the refs." SHOW PASSION, ANGER
Ya know what
@_bigplayslay23
is doing right now too by openly campaigning for his trade away from these two clowns? Killing any value Quinn can get back. Just a 🖕🏼to this awful regime. And I’m glad.
With every passing week and touchdown it feels like Michigan and it’s fans are letting out more than a decade of frustration. This was the three game stretch I needed to see, outscoring WISC/MSU/PSU 101-20. This is also the old “Stanford Jim Harbaugh” coaching for blood
First inspired performance by the Lions in 10 weeks and it comes at a time when it’ll hurt the franchise and anger the fanbase. SOL never ceases to amaze
#justlosebaby
The Pistons have just smacked the Warriors in the mouth on both ends really all night long. Now it's just a matter of if they can close it out here in the 4th. Goes back to what we've said, this team plays for Casey, they didn't play for SVG
Excited to announce the first of many projects I’ll be part of as I join Dr. Jason Novetsky of the
