After a brief hiatus to digest all the fucked up shit going down in the Middle East, the boys are back and more Roargasmic than ever!

Before podding, Uncle Brother sent an email to Deano and Impossible Lomas, asking the following question: Are the Lions elite, and if so, what kind of elite are they?

Now, first, let's recognize that this is the first time in recorded history that the words "Detroit Lions" and "elite" have been used in the same sentence that wasn't some kind of sick joke. Uncle Brother meant that shit, and for good reason! The Lions are now 5-1, tied for the best record in the whole league, and have been dominating teams at home and on the road.

In short: What the hell is going on?

We turn to a newly revealed scripture, The Ben Johnson Chronicles, for answers, and find some! Ben Johnson has truly been chosen by Dan Campbell to lead the Roar to the promised land. We're already fearing the day he leaves to take a head coaching gig elsewhere.

Anyhow, we pretty much skip over the Carolina drubbing and focus on the road win at Tampa. We thank the football gods and the ghost of Bobby Layne that Baker Mayfield throws a shitty deep ball. We mourn the loss to injury of David Montgomery and his battering ram of a body but marvel at the Lions' ability to adapt and overcome. We celebrate The Block that Craig Reynolds put on some sorry Tampa Bay Fucaneer who thought he was about to push the Sun God out of bounds. And by the way, all hail the motherfucking Sun God!

Finally, we can't help but admit that the Lions are playing at elite level on both sides of the ball. The defense, which we assumed would still suck at least some donkey balls, is feasting on finer fare!

We make predictions for next week's road game at Baltimore, with Uncle Brother blasphemously picking the Roar to Lose! We love you Uncle Brother, but fuck you!

And, of course, we conclude with a silky smooth harmonized ROAR, the starting note of which nearly caused Lomas to go falsetto.

Until next week, Roar Nation!
