One Magical Night in Lambeau - a podcast by Jeremy Shere

RAA is truly at a crossroads, folks. Never have we podded so long and so hard, and never have we ended the season on such a note of optimism and high hopes.

We begin this radical episode by dispensing with the Serenity Prayer altogether, and instead recite a Psalm of Jared and listen with rapt attention as Uncle Brother Ted recites from a recently revealed chapter of the Book of Jared. We then proceed to talk for a solid 2.24 hours ... and here are the things we DON'T even get around to discussing: a breakdown of the game; Hutch's 2 sacks and generally awesome performance; the Sun God's leg catch; Jared's sweet bomb to Khalif Raymond, the hook and ladder play.

What do we talk about? It's kinda hard to describe ... Everything and nothing. In large part we marvel at the nature and depth of our feelings about this team. For the first time in our collective memory, the Lions are a young, hungry team on the way up, with a dynamic and colorful head coach and an offensive coordinator whose play calling is a thing of wonder. Yes, the defense is still very much a work in progress, but with 5 picks in the first round, including the Rams' #6 pick, the Lions are poised to upgrade at multiple positions, especially linebacker (sorry, Anzalone!) and run-stopping D-linemen. And safety. And another corner. 

Bottom line, for the first time in a very, very long time, the Lions are fun and easy to root for, and we are genuinely excited for next seasons. We're also entirely uncertain what this means for RAA as a program. The liturgy will almost surely be amended. The core principle that The Lions Will Always Suck will undergo rigorous examination during the offseason. And we shall search within ourselves to discover the true path forward.

Until then, fellow roaraholics, we leave you with one final, heartfelt RRRRROOOOAAAARRRRR!
