We're in Lions Country
Go Long hit the road this week, so let's chat with Dave Birkett while we're at it.
Hello, from Allen Park! It’s been another busy week of reporting on the road.
After our Florida swing — hitting the Jaguars and Buccaneers — I fueled up the Tacoma and trucked to Michigan to spend a few days with Dan Campbell’s rowdy bunch. For ages, it’s been taboo to refer to this franchise as a contender. Not anymore.
Once more, thank you to our paid subscribers for making these reporting trips possible. I cannot wait to share the longform stories from this spring swing. A hell of a lot planned as the 2023 NFL season closes in. The goal is always to find stories worth your valuable time to contrast the tidal wave of memes and gifs and nonsense filling your timeline.
Thankfully, several players were willing to sit down and open up like never before.
Over the coming weeks and months, be on the lookout.

When in Lions Country, it’s always wise to catch up with Dave Birkett of The Detroit Free Press, too.
