I agree. But i feel shes gonna get a grip on this. Im not niave just really hopeful. 49 yr old fan my whole life. Good god can anyone get it right. Shes the first to basically say they sucked and had to go. I liked it but we'll see
@@oldjarhead386 After two years its hard to thoroughly evaluate a coach. Considering last season we lost Matt Stafford when we had a winning record. She fired him mid season when her mother probably would have let the season ride out. Just be thankful she did it ffs man. This fan base is trash.
I’m just hoping that she is what we need I’ve been saying this whole time we’ve been through too many coaches in to many GM’s to just fire them and find somebody else they need to start at the tippy top and that means ownership so hopefully her taking over as principal owner will solve a lot of things also I think it’s funny they didn’t get rid of Rod
@@scalesjim12 In fact in comparison to her mother and father she has earned respect by STICKING TO HER WORD. which half of this fan base could never amount to. On another note, how would you feel if you were held accountable for the mistakes your parents made?
@@scalesjim12 She was the driving force behind the hiring? Are you new here? She was just promoted to principle owner last december you half wit. lol you're talking out of your ass. Sitting there with your thesaurus ultimately making a moot point lmao. Sorry bud, but by the sound of it - you're not that smart 🤷♂️
Woo yay an owner that talked spoke to the fans and media December 2019 about keeping this duo for another year. The same owner just broke her silence November 2020 about firing the same two bums. This will change nothing your team will always be losers so long as you back the ford family owning it.
There was only one question that really made since and that was about the leadership structure with Rod as far as what his role will be and will he have the same responsibilities? In my opinion, same leadership means expect the same results. Its clear football minds are not part of the Lions leadership.
Yes she took questions but had zero answers because she knows nothing about football. Its clear this organization is lacking football leadership not only on the field but also in the front office.
My hope, she could really carve a name for herself, social justice and women in power. Take the reins and win in the ultimate boys club. I would love it!!!
@@arnettmosley566 It's funny. People of privelege or who HAVE a lot of money, always get the benefit of doubt. It's almost like a well dressed man CANNOT be a thief, but the man dressed like a bum must have stole something. The Ford families track record is clear. They do not have any idea about running a football team. Also, the NFL does not care as long as they bring in the money( no matter how pathetic the whole organization is.)
The Fords are the right owners. Shelia is not sitting still. This was a brave move by her. I love how she is just as real as it gets with these reporters. She is very humble and considerate of us fans. Dig it! I think the attacks on Rod are because people do not understand what Rod does and they think he could be part of the problem because of it. I think people need to understand Rod is like the right arm of Shelia. He just does as she asks and is a sounding board for her.
Lol drinking that Blue Kool-aid bud?? Rod wood is still there and don't forget she gave them a green light for year 3. She said she would be "more available" this year and this is the first time she has spoken at week 12. They should have never been given the availability to use the #3 pick. The Fords sucker people like you every single year to buy their product and then nothing changes and that is why your team will always be losers.
The beef people have with rod wood is he said himself he’s not a football guy yet he’s president of football operations a position where you need to be a football guy when your supposed to be hiring a new gm who going to hire a new coach
I understand more then anyone I want you and I to win a Superbowl before your mom (Ms. Ford) and my Dad passes on that is very important to us! Thank you for knowing and understanding this fact! I BELIEVE, Love and Support My Detroit Lions! 🙏🙏🙏 Let's Go! Boot Up! Go Lions! 🏉🦁💯🙏
Glad to see more open communication from the upper echelon of this organization related to goals, expectations and plans to move this organization forward into relevancy in the NFL for the people of the city of Detroit, and fans everywhere. Go Lions!
The one thing that stood out to me is the question regarding Rod Wood and his job security. Shelia said his job is safe yet he's the one who hired Bob Quinn
Wood's role is primarily non-football related aspects of the Lions (like season tickets). He "hired" Quinn but the Ford's were the final say and Ernie Accorsi played a significant role in recruiting Quinn.
@@aroujohnson8507 What the hell does Stafford's race have to do with anything? I like Stafford for several reasons that have nothing to do with the color of his skin: 1. He's a tough S.O.B. and will gut it out to finish games, even when hurt badly. There aren't many QBs as tough as he is. The last QB I could say was as tough as him would have been Brett Favre. 2. The dude has a howitzer for a right arm. The guy can sit on his knees and throw the ball through the field goal posts from mid-field. That kind of arm strength is rare. 3. In the 4th quarter of close games, it's like a switch flips in his brain and he starts playing like an M.V.P. Dude is clutch. This is evidenced by him having more 4th quarter/OT game winning drives since 2009 (when he entered the league) than any other QB except Drew Brees. How anyone can say he's not clutch, especially considering how bad the Lions have been for the vast majority of his career, is beyond me. Now, is he perfect? Of course not. He's definitely not the best QB to ever take the field, or even in the discussion. But I would bet you serious money that, if you put him on almost any other good team, like the Steelers, Ravens, Packers, etc. from the beginning of his career, he'd already have a Super Bowl ring or two. If Trent Dilfer can win a Super Bowl, then so could Stafford on the right team. People seriously underestimate how bad the Lions are. Stafford elevated them from pure crap to around a .500 team. If you need proof, look at last year when the Lions lost him for the season. They lost every single game the rest of the way. You are a racist.
Has anyone ever thought about hiring Chris Spielman for either GM or Head Coach? The man is a football genius who understands what it takes to be successful.
Chris Speilmen is a excellent idea for some role in the next Lions coaching team. I think he'd be a great defense coordinator, while you're at it hire Barry Sanders as the Running Back coach. Both are humble men who really know Football...🏈
Thank you Sheila - we have your back as long as there is a vision and plan going forward. Quinn and Patricia tried - it didn't work out clearly. Only forward from here.
Although NHL is totally different, Detroit red wings need to fire Jeff Blashill next. This is Awesome, Let's go lions. In order for the lions to be in the NFL Superbowl playoffs, Who would you like to see the Lions bring in
Blashill doesn't have a good team it is extremely young one that looks promising. Now, if you mentioned a guy like Brad Assmuss a Tigers manager who had 5 or 6 HOFers on his team and never won ONE WS! I'd agree
The next move will be the biggest one in the history of our organization. I would like either one of the new GM/coach to be someone who understands the pain this fan base has endured for decades
top 5 questions i'd like to ask her. "Did giving you a game ball (from a bye week) buy Matty P another week, or did it speed up his removal?" "If the incoming gm decides to rebuild, will you allow another 5 year leash." "For the next 4-6 years with this team, what are your expectations, what would you consider to be failure, and what would you consider to be success for the incoming administration?" "If we win a playoff game in 4 years from now, but fail to do much else, will you be satisfied? Or are your goals as an owner of an NFL team higher or lower? What will you personally do to ensure that those goals are met?" "What sales pitch would you use to bring in a new GM?, and if you aren't set on one, might i suggest something? Imagen each NFL franchise has a plot of land in a city. What you build in the land you have is based on the materials you use, or players you draft, its based on the plans your architect and engineers draw up (Gm& front office) and Its up to the construction crew to follow the blueprints and use the materials given to do the best they can. (coaching staff working with what is given). And its based on the budget of the owner and what they are willing to look at on their lot. Almost Every team has a few pretty nice buildings. A Few teams have what you could call, skyscrapers. But our land? our teams history to date? everything has crumbled. Its baron. We have a plot of land with a shaky foundation, its swampy, stinks, and no one has been able to build something worthwhile on it to date. But the first architect that does with forever be cemented in it. There is so much room for a hero in this city. There is no competing culture. There is no hero of the past to be compared to here. Win here? You will instantly be the greatest GM, Coach, or Player we've ever had. Win here and you will have done what no person has ever done before. I don't think another team in the league can offer that.
Lol bruh are you joking this clown family has been running. This team for 50 years And have don’t nothing despite all their promises and trusting people
@@datzz4638 Nah when Martha took over things started getting better.. It was WCF who ran the team into the ground for so long.. Now with Sheila running things, its gonna get better..
@Mr. Thomas I would ask to be traded if I was him honestly, the lions just ruin players careers, Barry Sanders, Calvin Johnson, and now Matthew Stafford.
Damn, gotta love a shake up. Not to often you see coaches & GM’s relieved with only 5 games left.. I say good for her. It’s time to get people in the lions organization headed in the right direction. Man, it’s hard being a lions fan. I love the lions & I watch all games every season, even when we lost all 16 straight.. I’ve personally been frustrated with the lions my whole life. & that’s no exaggeration.. Like I said, it’s hard being a lions fan..
It’s nice that she has a no nonsense approach. She didn’t give direct answers to some questions, but she I think she was being honest and seems approachable. More approachable than anyone else in charge that I’ve seen. Thanks for sticking to the mandate. Now start fresh and build around the talent you have and get some guys that will get the job done
Thanks for firing that coach. Detroit and most of Michigan Thank you. Shelia make sure you get a coach that has courage . Because Stafford should be bench sometimes. Detroit and Michigan fans deserve your best adminstration decisions. We have been Patience and loyal. Go Lions Go Shelia Ford
Sheila thank you thank you thank you for taking charge of the lions pride. A pride is always lead by the females and always surround them with the males they think are the best for the pride and you have done a excellent job surrounding yourself with strong males. Keep up the great job and once again I say thank you. ROOOAAAR Goes the whole lion pride
Thank you Sheila! I'm reading the comments from 3-4 years ago, and I'm amused. These trolls need to come back and bring the bouquets and genuflect to this owner, who will soon have a statue erected in her honor!
I like how.. no I love.. how she gave real honest answers and not generic broad answers lol better answers then Patricia and when she was asked about if she felt Patricia and Quinn came together as a package deal.. I love how she laughed at the end. Ice cold
I think I like her. The timing for this is good. They have the rest of this season plus the early off season to evaluate and make the best decision possible. I don’t know who the best people to replace them are, but I’d like to see someone brilliant and young. Someone who can relate to the players and create a new culture. Easier said than done.
2:48 I love how she could tell even though there was a mathematical chance there’s no way it’s gonna happen. That’s stuff that’s been lacking from out leadership actually being able to just step and and not wait till the last possible moment
All the best to our Pride and I am impressed by her honesty. Can she bring a winner to the Detroit Lions organization sure she can. I'm a Stafford fan but she's not a person who will get in the way of a decision to keep him or not to keep him. She's very cerebral in her thought processing. I believe that we're in good hands with this next generation owner. He deserves a chance to bring a winner did this town 2 Detroit Lions versus everybody to our pride to our worldwide fandom because believe it or not we do have it!! There's something more to being a lions fan. we've gone to fair to give up on them now. We maybe the Cubs of Pro football people!!😂 Thank you Sheila, I know you want the best for a team that's all a sudden become the losingest team professional football team. I think a championship can happen in my lifetime! If it does it'll be a happy time for us all if it doesn't next generation up and Gooo Lions!!!
Holy shit I didn't expect this. I think it's the right move but I thought she'd wait until the end of the season. Wow, crazy stuff. And damn she's brutally honest too. No avoiding or redirecting questions like Patricia. Interesting.
Not happy with the Ford Ownership but I give Mrs. Ford-Hamp credit for seeing during the season that these two needed to go! I hope she doesn't lean on Wood to make this decision. Bring in a Tony Dungy, Chris Speilman, and Bill Cowher to help her make the decision on a Coach and GM.
Let’s go shelia !!!! Let’s make this a comeback franchise , no more same old lions , let’s stay consistent in winning and make a huge comeback and start turning heads and jaws dropped.
It SOUNDS like she wants to win! But the Ford's have owned this team for a long time.The proof is in the pudding.For 49 years a Lions fan and I respect her transparency.I can't remember the last time WC or Mrs. Ford actually were interviewed live.
I said the same thing when they fired him. The guy had a winning record in three of four seasons, and just barely missed .500 by one game in the season he didn't. They made the playoffs two of those years. Now, yeah, we can whine that that's mediocre or whatever, but considering how trash the Lions were before Caldwell took over, it wasn't like they were going to become Super Bowl contenders overnight. Plus, they had a pretty bad offensive coordinator. I think, if they'd found a better OC to pair with Caldwell, they eventually would have gotten better. As it stands though, these last three years have been wasted. Thank you Fords for wasting the prime of Stafford's career, just like you wasted Barry and Megatron's. Great freaking job!
Jim Caldwell was horrible, and Patricia was even worse. You cant just look at records. Caldwell Lions had one of the best rosters in the NFL, and should have been a playoff winning team. The greatest Dline: Suh, Fairley, Ansah...and strong secondary and offensive line, and also Calvin Johnson, Reggie Bush, and a Young Stafford. Caldwell was way too conservative in his play calling. You just cant compare records...you have to evaluate the results based on a given roster. Patricia's issues are getting rid of Slay, Diggs, and Glasgow, and his condescending attitude. At this point, I cannot see any coach winning with this crap defense. But don't get me wrong, glad to see BobbyQ and MattyP Leave.
Wish someone would have asked if she's ready to embrace a complete rebuild. That's what we are in for. Its going to be a long 3-5 years hopefully they make the right decision with this GM hire.
She seems like a nice person & I am VERY glad she laid the hamma' down on the Quinntricia dumpster fire! W.C Ford probably would've gave them an extension after the season was over, so props to her for keeping her word. That said, I'm still not too confident from her or Rod Wood's answers that they know how to build a successful franchise or will make the right hires this time around given the decades of mediocrity sandwiched in between terrible assembled on the field. Signed, -A skeptical Honolulu-Blue bleedin' lifelong Lions fan #OnePride
She kept her word!! You just keep your head in the football books. You get a better team you get more wins. You get more wins you get more fans. Its a win win win for everyone!
This woman has the most class of anyone I've seen in this organization in a long long time. She's serious, & l believe she will get this corrected. Can't wait,& l got her back for sure. I'm not that confident in Bevell...he may get the best quarterback we've ever had injured for good. His play calling is hazardous to his players health. He has made clear, too often, that his scheme does not fit this personnel, & he does not have the ability, or creativity to make that happen, with the players he has on this team.
Thank you very much Shelia that you get involved and listen to the Lions fan. Next , we need a new QB who can move for new era of football to be a contender. Go! Lions 🤗🤗🤗👍👍👍😘😘😘
Been a week. Shutout on sunday blowout on thursday firings on saturday. Been too many glass players in last couple yrs( falls on gm s head) too many blown games( falls on coaches head). I hope and pray these guys get ALOT of input and do much studying before naming new position(s). We do deserve a winner!!!
Super bowl formula: put all resources into drafting college players evaluating talent. Do this and any one can coach the team. Don't do this and world's best coach would be worthless.
I'm watching this again in 2024 and her plan came to fruition! Thank You, Sheila!
Shes basically saying this regime was trash. And its not gonna happen on her watch. Thank god..

@@datzz4638 Nah when Martha took over things started getting better.. It was WCF who ran the team into the ground for so long.. Now with Sheila running things, its gonna get better..
@@datzz4638 stop speaking on things you have no idea about you clown.
@@MotorCityMob you're absolutely right 100%
@@MotorCityMob she is definitely doing better then wcf so there is hope we just have to understand the fords wont sell this team
I know Matthew Stafford thinking like how many coaches I have to go through.
If he wants to win shutup stafford better pray for a good coach
@Mr. Thomas I would ask to be traded if I was him honestly, the lions just ruin players careers, Barry Sanders, Calvin Johnson, and now Matthew Stafford.
Staffords been playing great football he’s surrounded by trash
@Mr. Thomas 😆 Hey I can't argue with that
Stafford needs to go out the door also
Damn, gotta love a shake up. Not to often you see coaches & GM’s relieved with only 5 games left.. I say good for her. It’s time to get people in the lions organization headed in the right direction. Man, it’s hard being a lions fan. I love the lions & I watch all games every season, even when we lost all 16 straight.. I’ve personally been frustrated with the lions my whole life. & that’s no exaggeration.. Like I said, it’s hard being a lions fan..
It’s nice that she has a no nonsense approach. She didn’t give direct answers to some questions, but she I think she was being honest and seems approachable. More approachable than anyone else in charge that I’ve seen. Thanks for sticking to the mandate. Now start fresh and build around the talent you have and get some guys that will get the job done
🎉
Thanks for firing that coach. Detroit and most of Michigan Thank you. Shelia make sure you get a coach that has courage . Because Stafford should be bench sometimes. Detroit and Michigan fans deserve your best adminstration decisions. We have been Patience and loyal. Go Lions Go Shelia Ford
Surprisingly candid answers from Sheila.
Sheila thank you thank you thank you for taking charge of the lions pride.
A pride is always lead by the females and always surround them with the males they think are the best for the pride and you have done a excellent job surrounding yourself with strong males.
Keep up the great job and once again I say thank you. ROOOAAAR
Goes the whole lion pride
Thank you Sheila!
I'm reading the comments from 3-4 years ago, and I'm amused. These trolls need to come back and bring the bouquets and genuflect to this owner, who will soon have a statue erected in her honor!
I like how.. no I love.. how she gave real honest answers and not generic broad answers lol better answers then Patricia and when she was asked about if she felt Patricia and Quinn came together as a package deal.. I love how she laughed at the end. Ice cold
🎉
Thank you for this decision... Sam Cooke sang a change gone' come, and now it has!!! #GoLions
I think I like her. The timing for this is good. They have the rest of this season plus the early off season to evaluate and make the best decision possible. I don’t know who the best people to replace them are, but I’d like to see someone brilliant and young. Someone who can relate to the players and create a new culture. Easier said than done.
Congrats Sheila. Just awesome decision. Keep up.
Thank you Sheila!!!
Now just hire Louis Riddick as your next GM and we'll be good.
I'm mad the Giants didn't....I think he's gonna do great things with a team....
@@christopherpennetta8973 Please. He wanted Dwayne Trashcans.
"We can't hide our past". Way to take personal accountability. Too bad the organization can't fire the Ford family.
2:48 I love how she could tell even though there was a mathematical chance there’s no way it’s gonna happen. That’s stuff that’s been lacking from out leadership actually being able to just step and and not wait till the last possible moment
All the best to our Pride and I am impressed by her honesty. Can she bring a winner to the Detroit Lions organization sure she can. I'm a Stafford fan but she's not a person who will get in the way of a decision to keep him or not to keep him. She's very cerebral in her thought processing. I believe that we're in good hands with this next generation owner. He deserves a chance to bring a winner did this town 2 Detroit Lions versus everybody to our pride to our worldwide fandom because believe it or not we do have it!! There's something more to being a lions fan. we've gone to fair to give up on them now. We maybe the Cubs of Pro football people!!😂 Thank you Sheila, I know you want the best for a team that's all a sudden become the losingest team professional football team. I think a championship can happen in my lifetime! If it does it'll be a happy time for us all if it doesn't next generation up and Gooo Lions!!!
Holy shit I didn't expect this. I think it's the right move but I thought she'd wait until the end of the season. Wow, crazy stuff.
And damn she's brutally honest too. No avoiding or redirecting questions like Patricia. Interesting.
Day late
Thank you shelia at least you care and will make the right moves compared to your other family I think she is the answer as a owner
🎉
I've watched the lions for years but chris spielman is a very strong candidate and the fans would love it
Good idea, you should be an advisor. 😊
Not happy with the Ford Ownership but I give Mrs. Ford-Hamp credit for seeing during the season that these two needed to go! I hope she doesn't lean on Wood to make this decision. Bring in a Tony Dungy, Chris Speilman, and Bill Cowher to help her make the decision on a Coach and GM.
So glad she is in charge..I honestly think we might get a fighting team next year #Onepride
Thank you .......We are built Ford tough!!!
Thank you, thank you, thak tou, Sheila. #VaiLions
What a new season! Not the sol. Let's go Dan!
Thank you Shelia!
Respect to her for being open to anything when it comes to the regime change. I'm anxious to see how she performs herself in hiring our future.
🎉
Thank You Thank You Thank You Sheila!!!!
I’m a lions fan thank you guys frl
Is there a “rest of their career” after the Lions? For any coach or GM?
Yawn. I'll believe it when I see it that this particular Ford can put the right people in place to win.
It’s some change that’s needed. very approachable so it gives a good look for the future
Says lions fan every tenure...
What about talks with Chris Speilman?? Seems like he has a great wealth of knowledge in football, maybe a position somewhere in the organization
Great call. She did link up with him and things have been turning around ever since
Thank you Sheila 👍
Let’s go shelia !!!! Let’s make this a comeback franchise , no more same old lions , let’s stay consistent in winning and make a huge comeback and start turning heads and jaws dropped.
Honestly shelia is killing it proving everyone wrong she shows she actually cares, I think it could be a very bright future
🎉
It SOUNDS like she wants to win! But the Ford's have owned this team for a long time.The proof is in the pudding.For 49 years a Lions fan and I respect her transparency.I can't remember the last time WC or Mrs. Ford actually were interviewed live.
I like her already. Thank you. I am not even a Lion fan, but I want to watch good football.
I love the decision! 😎👍
I don't know much about the Lions, but you shouldn't have fired Jim Caldwell.
It was more Quinn than them
I said the same thing when they fired him. The guy had a winning record in three of four seasons, and just barely missed .500 by one game in the season he didn't. They made the playoffs two of those years. Now, yeah, we can whine that that's mediocre or whatever, but considering how trash the Lions were before Caldwell took over, it wasn't like they were going to become Super Bowl contenders overnight. Plus, they had a pretty bad offensive coordinator. I think, if they'd found a better OC to pair with Caldwell, they eventually would have gotten better. As it stands though, these last three years have been wasted. Thank you Fords for wasting the prime of Stafford's career, just like you wasted Barry and Megatron's. Great freaking job!
Facts.
That was Bob Quinn. He wanted Patricia so he screwed over Caldwell. It’s a big reason why he’s done
Jim Caldwell was horrible, and Patricia was even worse. You cant just look at records. Caldwell Lions had one of the best rosters in the NFL, and should have been a playoff winning team. The greatest Dline: Suh, Fairley, Ansah...and strong secondary and offensive line, and also Calvin Johnson, Reggie Bush, and a Young Stafford. Caldwell was way too conservative in his play calling. You just cant compare records...you have to evaluate the results based on a given roster. Patricia's issues are getting rid of Slay, Diggs, and Glasgow, and his condescending attitude. At this point, I cannot see any coach winning with this crap defense. But don't get me wrong, glad to see BobbyQ and MattyP Leave.
Bob Quinn in all fairness did a Solid job with his draft picks. B plus
Wish someone would have asked if she's ready to embrace a complete rebuild. That's what we are in for. Its going to be a long 3-5 years hopefully they make the right decision with this GM hire.
She seems like a nice person & I am VERY glad she laid the hamma' down on the Quinntricia dumpster fire!
W.C Ford probably would've gave them an extension after the season was over, so props to her for keeping her word.
That said, I'm still not too confident from her or Rod Wood's answers that they know how to build a successful franchise or will make the right hires this time around given the decades of mediocrity sandwiched in between terrible assembled on the field.
Signed,
-A skeptical Honolulu-Blue bleedin' lifelong Lions fan #OnePride
I'm feeling better, you too?
As a Lions Fan I really like our new owner.
🎉
She kept her word!! You just keep your head in the football books. You get a better team you get more wins. You get more wins you get more fans. Its a win win win for everyone!
This woman has the most class of anyone I've seen in this organization in a long long time. She's serious, & l believe she will get this corrected. Can't wait,& l got her back for sure. I'm not that confident in Bevell...he may get the best quarterback we've ever had injured for good. His play calling is hazardous to his players health. He has made clear, too often, that his scheme does not fit this personnel, & he does not have the ability, or creativity to make that happen, with the players he has on this team.
Sheila taking action make some good decisions
Great Job Ms. Ford 💪🏽
Thank you very much Shelia that you get involved and listen to the Lions fan. Next , we need a new QB who can move for new era of football to be a contender. Go! Lions 🤗🤗🤗👍👍👍😘😘😘
Thank you Sheila have four we love you for that we love you for that
Wishing the Lions well....at least you have a great all time history with Michigan.
Chargers damn well need to fire Lynn and Bradley tomorrow
Seems like some players DID react to the firing according to Sheila at 17:22! Lol!😂😂😂
Let's get this video to 1.7k likes
GOOD RIDDANCE BABYYYYYYYYYYY
Been a week. Shutout on sunday blowout on thursday firings on saturday. Been too many glass players in last couple yrs( falls on gm s head) too many blown games( falls on coaches head). I hope and pray these guys get ALOT of input and do much studying before naming new position(s). We do deserve a winner!!!
Let's hope this is a sign of good things to come.
Love it. She lived up to her word. Let’s go.
I think this will benefit the Lions tremendously
She's got my respect for pulling the trigger and answering these questions. Hopefully she'll get the next decision right.
Thank god!
"...we seem to be stacking up unusual seasons for different reasons..."
That's a pretty good way to describe this organization.
Super bowl formula: put all resources into drafting college players evaluating talent. Do this and any one can coach the team. Don't do this and world's best coach would be worthless.
I wish she hire a Football minded advisor. Get Chris Spielman and or Barry Sanders here
Good choices, you're brilliant!
@lotus65 lol 😆 I forgot about this
