The Lion and The Cub Podcast

By The Lion and The Cub

The Lion and The Cub Podcast is a cheeky father-son Detroit Lions preview, reaction, and opinion podcast.

It is from the perspective of The Lion, the grizzled old man that has been a Detroit Lions fan since 1988 and The Cub, a young and still believing, Detroit Lions fan since 1992, or his entire life.

The Lion and The Cub understand that they don’t know the intricacies of The NFL and The Lions in particular. But, like all Lions fans everywhere, that does not stop them from having an opinion.

S03.E02 - YES SIR!! We are back, AGAIN! with some cool Packers guys

We did a show with Tay and Ren from the Packer Universe Podcast before the Lions game on Thanksgiving. Actually, they did all the work and the Cub and the Lion ran their mouths. They were kind enough to let us download the show and we are sharing it here.

S03.E01 - YES SIR!! We are back and better than ever, well better than some!

Season 3! We are as surprised as you that we are still cranking out the content!

Wow, it has been a while but we don't believe in B.S. talking about mock drafts and fake stuff like that. We believe in hard news about the Detroit Lions no matter how long ago it happened. Hey did ya hear the Lions might Trade Matthew Stafford? No, that is just a lame Dad joke. But we do actually have some timely news. Free Agency, NFL Draft 2023 and even a little USFL talk. Go Michigan Panthers!

So, here it is. Hot off the hard drive!

The rebuild is complete. The Detroit Lions will FINALLY win the NFC North.

We also have a guest. A long-suffering Miami Dolphins fan living in Denver, Colorado and twisting necks! Chuck P. Stone-Breaker
