00:00The topic of Detroit wrestling players was just quickly brought up.

00:07Yeah.

00:08And DRS is chomping at the bit.

00:09Love it.

00:10And I'm not surprised, but I want to just once again set the stage for everybody.

00:15If Minnesota wins this game, it ensures the division and one seed will be on the line

00:22in week 18 for the Lions and the Vikings.

00:25Yes.

00:26Winning against Detroit's Monday night or against the Niners is meaningless.

00:31And I know sometimes people hear that and go, well, no, no, no, no, no.

00:34Just listen.

00:35It has no barring on their ability to make or miss the playoffs or anything about their

00:42seating.

00:43So people have asked Dan Campbell, will you rest on Monday?

00:48He has said no, Donnie.

00:50What do you think of that?

00:51As holding a multiple tickets, I should say, on the Lions.

00:55Let's just let's rewind.

00:57Let's get into it.

00:58Let's rewind last year.

00:59Detroit fans, if you're watching right now, the reason you don't have a Super Bowl is

01:02because you're head coach and nothing else last year.

01:04The most rock headed, stupid decisions you could see down the stretch last year.

01:08Let's fast forward to this year.

01:09You have a game where, correct me if I'm wrong, Kevin, today Minnesota plays, right?

01:13Does Detroit play today?

01:14Oh, you already had a deficit for one day.

01:17Where is Minnesota playing today?

01:19Home.

01:20Where is Detroit playing tomorrow?

01:21The Bay Area.

01:22The Bay Area.

01:23So you had a deficit out there and now you're going to be coming back at this point.

01:25So again, you already had a deficit.

01:27Let's just say you are Detroit and you're playing this game against San Francisco.

01:30Seems like they're going to play as many starters as they can.

01:32You play hard and you lose.

01:33So now you're already a little bit worn coming back.

01:36Next week you lose that game and you wind up with the fifth seed as opposed to the one

01:40seed and heading into the playoffs, basically going on the road either way.

01:44And as Kevin pointed out, it's not a game.

01:45You don't have to be tough.

01:46It's a football game.

01:47We play it.

01:48No.

01:49Why would you play a single meaningful player?

01:51Jared Goff should not play.

01:52Your two tackles shouldn't play.

01:53Your top cornerbacks, your pass rushers, and Jameer Gibbs.

01:56You want to win the football game after that?

01:57I'm all for it here.

01:58But the fact of the matter is, I would love to now see this scenario play out where Dan

02:03Campbell starts all of his starters and we'll laugh on Monday night when the hamstrings

02:07and the knees and the ankles pop up like, ah, called that one.

02:10How about that?

02:11Who did they lose to in the NFC Championship game last year?

02:14The Niners.

02:15It's a Billy Club special.

02:17That's the only reason why.

02:18Yeah, Niners and a Billy Club.

02:19That is the only reason why they're rolling out there.

02:21I honestly believe that Dan Campbell has revenge.

02:24He wants to beat that team down in a big way and put them out to pasture, baby.

02:29Put them out to pasture.

02:30We need the staff now.

02:31Take them outside the ballgame.

02:32Who has to return and shoot them?

02:33Fans.

02:34Fans.

02:35That's what they're going to do.

02:36Billy Club special.
