A Roaring Conspiracy - a podcast by Jeremy Shere

The Roar lose on yet another last second, 50+ yard field goal, for the second week in a row, becoming the only team to undergo such humiliation and gut punch madness. We are ... nonplussed? After literally a lifetime of Lions sucktitude, it's hard to get too worked up about one more loss, no matter how bizarre. 

Deano admires Coach Campbell's manly tears during the post-game presser and his ability to get this group of low-talent rejects to play really hard.

We fantasize about how cool it would be if the Roar keep losing on ever-longer, game-ending field goals, until by season's end opposing kickers are lining up at the back of their own end zone. Impossible Lomas floats the theory that the Fords were involved in the assassination of JFK, given that the Ford Family bought the Lions in 1963 on the exact same day that JFK got his head blow off. How else to explain the curse that's infected this franchise ever since? 

Uncle Ted revels in Matt Staff's bounce-back victory over the Seahawks, and we unanimously agree that getting traded to the Rams was the best thing to happen to $taff since getting drafted by the Lions (trumping even his wife's surgery to remove a brain tumor). 

Deano commits to laying down more lucre, betting against the Roar in next week's tilt against the not-so-mighty Bengals. 

Impossible mourns the season-ending injury to Quintez Cephus, the Roar's best receiver, who was poised to have a breakout year.

We one again fuck up the concluding roar, requiring a second take to deliver a surprisingly gentle and heartfelt three-part RAA salute.
