Listen Later

What a great season! What a great team! Our beloved Detroit Lions had a season for the ages, and we just can't get enough. We just had to have one more week of Detroit Lions football. What a great show this weekend, with superfans, super chefs, and even a former player stopping by to share the excitement.



We start with our good friend Earl Bovia from Bay City Bills Bar & Grill, a Lions season ticket holder along with his wife Michelle, and a huge supporter of all things Bay City. He and Gonzo even went to a few games together this year, we recap a few of their favorite moments from this season.



Gina Ferwerda is a chef, business owner, and published cookbook author based in the Silver Lake area. She shares her Defend the Den burger, which you can find in her cookbook "Meals from the Mitten" and that has been featured on the Rachel Ray show. Of course, she's also a lifelong fan.



Our final guest was a delight to get to talk with and get a true insider's take on what it's like to be a Detroit Lion. Former guard Rob Sims joins us to talk about this season, the National Cherry Festival, a few of his favorite Michigan spots, and what he and his current business partner Calvin Johnson are up to now.
