Ty & Bob Pod: Lions go bear hunting, Sam Darnold is clutch (again), Forrest Gregg memories

From "The Stumble Bum" trick play to Sam Darnold's absolute bullet in Seattle, two NFC North powers flexed their muscles on Sunday. We discuss ahead of Christmas.

And down the stretch they come. Detroit reclaimed its mojo against the punching-bag Chicago Bears, Minnesota earned a thrilling win in the Pacific Northwest. Tonight, the Packers will face New Orleans.

It’s a strange week with Christmas Eve on Tuesday and Christmas Day on Wednesday, so we dinged record on the Ty & Bob Pod a little early here.

Audio is above. Video is below.

Much is discussed: Jameson Williams’ ascent, Jared Goff’s fatherly presence, Sam Darnold’s elite play and the McGinn Memory brings us all back to August 1987. The same month I was born, our friend Bob here was learning the game from Forrest Gregg.

I cannot thank you all enough for listening and sharing with a friend.

Have a very MERRY CHRISTMAS, everyone!

A tale of three rookie quarterbacks: Jayden Daniels, Caleb Williams & Drake Maye

Let’s raise a glass to toast those who made these unions possible. Their 2023 contributions will be long forgotten in the annals of pro football. No statues will be erected. No streets will be renamed. When the advent calendar flips closer to Christmas Day, only masochist diehards and the D-teams at Fox and CBS even pay attention to such meaningless games because a 178th viewing of “A Christmas Story” is much more enjoyable. But a handful of players — many who are barely rosterable — can re-route history.
