00:00And the following week, the Lions play Tampa.

00:04And I think we should talk about Baker Mayfield, only in the context of the football game.

00:09And I think the week after that, it's Arizona and we'll talk about Kyler Murray and then

00:13it's Dallas and we'll talk about Dak Prescott and so on and so forth.

00:17I don't feel the necessity or the audience thirst for Stafford topics this week, other

00:28than he is the quarterback of the team that the Lions are going to play.

00:37And Kang said, I don't know if people are like you.

00:39I said, well, we've we've done the whole he's come back to town thing.

00:48And what kind of put a nice, neat bow on it from our perspective as Detroiters was winning

00:54the game and carrying on in our very healthy place as a football organization.

01:01I don't feel compelled.

01:04And I asked Kang off the air and he goes, I'm not sure people are like you, Doug.

01:08And I'm asking you on the air.

01:10We don't really need to do the Stafford's back in town topic, do we?

01:15It's been done.

01:17It's it.

01:18It was.

01:19It was what it was.

01:22We sort of had to lift the embargo because we did Stafford topics for the better part

01:25of the last eight years of his career in Detroit.

01:30But we don't need to do this again, right?

01:33Or do you disagree?

01:34I would disagree.

01:36I think it's it's another year.

01:38It's it's the last they played each other in the postseason in the playoff game.

01:41It was fantastic.

01:42And there was something that came out of it.

01:46I suppose if Matthew's wife wasn't so.

01:53Self-important about things and wanting to advance this agenda and all that, then maybe

01:59we could let it go.

02:00So she opened up her mouth and I think it opens it up for what's going to happen on

02:06Sunday.

02:07How are they going to be treated?

02:09Because it is something that's going to be talked about.

02:13I feel like I'm doing Matthew Stafford a solid, but also doing myself a real a real

02:23service as well.

02:25I pay no attention to what this player's wife has to say.

02:28I don't care what this player's wife has to say.

02:31That's fine.

02:32And going into this week, we're going to try not to.

02:34But at some point, I'm going to guess that there's going to be some statement made and

02:38we're going to address it.

02:40We don't have to go hunting it.

02:42Do we?

02:43We're going to seek it out.

02:44Is Baker Mayfield married?

02:45Are we going to talk about Baker Mayfield's wife says?

02:49I don't know.

02:50Did Baker Mayfield play for the Lions for 11 years?

02:52I mean, it's a big difference.

02:53I know.

02:54But we did it ad nauseum last year.

02:57Yeah.

02:58And now we want to throw it back in the face because we can't because the Lions won.

03:03Lions fans want to want to be chesty about it.

03:06Doug, it's always going to be I know you don't like it, but it's always going to be part

03:09of the story.

03:10It just is because and Kelly Stafford has said something already kind of gator on her

03:15podcast.

03:16She did announce that her and the children will not be attending the game at Ford Field

03:20Sunday night when the Rams play the Lions.

03:22Wait, wait, wait.

03:23Go ahead.

03:24You tell the people what you saw on Twitter.

03:28What do you all before she made that announcement?

03:30Somebody posted on Twitter.

03:31Yeah, this is great.

03:32This needs to be on the air.

03:33So, you know, last year, obviously, Kelly Stafford was, you know, she was upset.

03:37She thought people were booing her children.

03:39Right.

03:41That's ridiculous.

03:42So kids are booing.

03:43You going on viral right now on Twitter is people are like, I just want to be clear.

03:46We are not booing Kelly Stafford.

03:48We're not booing Matthew Stafford.

03:50We will boo the children when they come here.

03:51Just to make this clear, everybody, we're booing the kids.

03:54Right.

03:55But you can't boo the kids anymore because they're not coming either.

03:57So that's according to her podcast.

03:59But Doug, the Matthew Stafford story is always going to be story because this is the ex-girlfriend,

04:04ex-wife, whatever you want to call it.

04:06You may be married.

04:07You may move on.

04:08That doesn't change the relationship you had with that woman when she walks in the door.

04:12But you're dating a more successful, better looking woman who loves you more now and does

04:19more for you.

04:20That's all true.

04:21But also what's true is that you used to be with that other one.

04:24Yeah.

04:25And you want to throw it in their face.

04:26I don't need it that way.

04:28And I don't need.

04:29I'm perfectly.

04:30Hey, I can't.

04:31Look, in real life, I can try to avoid the ex, right?

04:35But this is totally different.

04:38She's coming to town.

04:39What am I supposed to do?

04:40I can't run away.

04:41She's coming to my house.

04:42She's right there.

04:43It's not uncomfortable for us.

04:44We're perfectly comfortable right now.

04:46It might be uncomfortable for the ex.

04:48You can't ignore her.

04:49She's right there.

04:50She's right there, Doug.

04:51I ignore her.

04:53And you should too.

04:54You can't.

04:55You need a better place.

04:56You can't ignore it.

04:57All I'm saying is, look, I think fans are going to react to that.

05:01You're not a vindictive person.

05:04Some people I am.

05:05But no, that was, I have no real ill will towards Stafford.

05:09But here's the thing.

05:10You could fuel it up if you wanted to.

05:12Somebody asked to leave.

05:14Somebody wanted out.

05:16Okay.

05:17Yep.

05:18And it's been much to the betterment of the Detroit Lions.

05:21It was also to the betterment of the Rams.

05:23They won a Super Bowl, but we, we got golf.

05:26We got to restart.

05:27We had a couple of first round picks out of it.

05:29We turned, we parlayed that into more picks and now we've built this team up to where

05:33they have arguably the best roster in football.

05:35I love what's happened.

05:37It doesn't mean I'm not going to rub the nose into it.

05:40I see.

05:41I'm not feeling the necessity to do that.

05:43It doesn't improve.

05:44It doesn't improve my day in any way.

05:45But how did you start this conversation?

05:47How did you start this conversation?

05:49I don't remember.

05:50That was four minutes ago.

05:51You said, maybe I'm different.

05:52I think I said, maybe I'm wrong.

05:55But either way.

05:56Either way, yes.

05:57You're different and you're wrong.

05:58So you think, you think not only should we do it, you think people thirst for Stafford

06:02content this week?

06:03I think people desperately want to rub it in his face that he chose to leave and the

06:09Lions are better off because of it.

06:11Okay.

06:12Yeah.

06:13So have at it, man.

06:14Well, there's three of us that determine the topics.

06:16Well, that's not true.

06:17The fans determine the topics.

06:18I guess we'll find out how important it is to them as the week carries on.

06:22It's Carson Anderson.

06:23Open lines.

06:24Ninety-seven one.
