 The Lions won in Green Bay! Greg called it at the beginning of the year. Of course they would pick a time when they are 1-7 to do it, too. Not a time like last year... when it would have won them the division.

Greg failed to get me rich, but he's buying me White Castle so it's all good. Somehow that leads into a talk about Back to the Future and Star Wars. On to the real meat of the show. Was the Mayweather-Pacquiao fight good for boxing, or were we ripped off? Tom Brady is back in the news because of deflategate, and we talk the usual baseball stuff like the Tigers bullpen dropping a steamer against the White Sox last night.
