Why? - a podcast by Jeremy Shere

The RAA crew--Uncle Ted, Deano Blandino, and Impossible Lomas--don't spend much time breaking down the Lions expected loss to the nearly as horrible Bears because, really, what's there to say? The Lions suck donkey balls of the exact shape, size, texture, and most likely taste that we all predicted during the pre-season. Instead, Uncle T regales us with the tale of watching the game with his brother-in-law on his in-laws majestic TV, indulging in a game to see which franchise sucks hardest and longest. (Spoiler alert: it's not even close.) Deano, in the aftermath of his youngest son's bar mitzvah, deliver a heartfelt plea to the powers that be, begging to be released from the curse of caring about the Lions. (Spoiler alert 2: it'll never happen.) Further compounding Deano's doldrums, he has let his bowling lessons slide, just as he was learning the mysteries of the hook shot. On the positive side, Deano's '80s/'90s cover band has put together a solid set list. Meanwhile, Impossible Lomas spent most of this episode getting impossibly transported by puffing on the chronic, pausing just long enough to opine that the Roar's sucktitude has entered a new realm of darkness--one utterly without hope for the future, barring the Roar braintrust nailing the next 5-6 drafts and somehow landing a generational QB1 (the statistical odds of which are approximately 0.0000000000000002.) Our concluding Roar is marred by Uncle Ted starting on too high a note, requiring a second take, which got the job done.

Until next time, we remain lost souls searching for a way out but only succeeding in digging ourselves in ever deeper.
