@JeffRisdon I'm going to use 'freezing hellscape' in a newscast today, Jeff. Thanks! Seriously, hope you -- and the family -- are doing well. Miss talking to you and Chris....

@demitirusmcnea7 Short answer: yes. Long answer: between the loss to the Washington and quickly losing Ben Johnson to the Bears, fans are both devastated and angry at the way the season ended....

@jimbrandstatter FYI: That was still my favorite — and most memorable — game.

@demitirusmcnea7 False. Josh Allen and Lamar Jackson are -- in my opinion -- ahead of Goff and don't show signs of slowing down. Hope you had a good Christmas, Demitirus.

@DetLionsPodcast Agreed. Love the way the black logo plays off of the blue helmet color.

@rooprajfox2 Sorry to hear about this, Roop. Louise sounds like she was a great dog -- and an incredible member of your family.

Vacation's over.....which means I'm back at the anchor desk -- along with the legend, @DanTJenkins -- beginning at 2 this afternoon on @WWJ950. A reminder - let's be good to each other today - and everyday. Showing kindness can make someone's day - and your day - better!

@demitirusmcnea7 Hi, D. I think it's highly likely, although the Chiefs and the Eagles (and the Packers and the Ravens) will also factor into that. Defense is an issue for both teams, however -- the Bills can't stop anyone of late and the Lions are really banged-up on that side of the ball....

@daveschultz74 Morning, Dave. Saw that last week, while I was on vacation. The music was great to hear (grew up on a lot of those songs) and the love for Steely Dan was fun to hear. The end -- with Donald Fagan's response to the documentary -- was not unexpected, but was funny.

@kmeinke Kyle, congratulations on the move. You were always one of my favorite people to talk to, when I was covering the Lions. I'll miss your stories and your sense of humor. Thanks for the friendship!

I was incredibly blessed to see all but one of @calvinjohnsonjr games as a Lion during his NFL career. He was the best player that I ever saw take the field.
