Wallbrook Calling - a podcast by Jeremy Shere

The Lions absolute thumping of the Jags pulls us back into the studio, where we contemplate what the fuck is going on. Does the Roar's ability to beat bad teams and (sometimes) hang with good ones bode well for the future? Or does everything we know about this franchise and four years of intensive RAA therapy lead us back to our North Star: namely, that the Lions Will Always Suck? 

That fact that this is a question and not a statement of absolute, 100% guaranteed fact has set off major alarm bells at RAA headquarters and has the Wallbrook C-suite preparing for an influx of bottomed-out roaraholics. (Wallbrook is hiring, by the way. No experience required.) 

Here's what we're dealing with ... Goff played a nearly flawless game and the offense once again put up 40 points. The defense held (an admittedly) horrible Jags offense to not much. The Lions are now 5-7 and within sniffing distance of the playoffs.

Here's how dire things have gotten. While recording, prompted by the yetzer ha-rah, the evil roaring spirit that drives roaraholics to commit unspeakable acts, Deano ventured online and bought his bad self a ticket to the next game, at home against the 10-2 Vikings. Deano is going solo, just him and his 60,000 new, terribly ill best friends throwing caution to the wind and sanity out the window. (We will have undercover Wallbrook personnel in Deano's section, ready to jump into action if (more likely when) the Roar are up in the 4th quarter and he begins to seriously lose it.)

Please send thoughts and prayers for Deano as we help him through this perilous time.

Roar!
