Sean Baligian returns with a spirited midweek edition of Off The Air, urging Lions fans to pump the brakes on preseason hype. From overanalyzing meaningless exhibition games to reliving the infamous “dress rehearsal” fallacy, Sean reminds us that these games are more about survival than strategy.

But it’s not all gridiron caution—there’s love for the red-hot Tigers, a Paddack-induced mea culpa, and a healthy dose of Riley Greene mustache magic. Plus, Sean gets real about Tigers ownership, trade deadline expectations, and why keeping Tarik Skubal is a must.

Along the way, we go deep on M.E.A.T.A. lore, Mongolian BBQ memories, and why prospects are just "adorable magic beans" unless proven otherwise.
