Heading into this NFL season, a number of so-called football experts were predicting that the once lowly Detroit Lions were poised to be a legitimate power in the NFC. After all, they had been "Rebuilding since 1957" as so the slogan goes. But this year feels different for Lions' fans in and around Motown. In this episide of Historically Speaking Sports, host Dana Auguster welcomes the co-host of the Podcast "This Week in the World of Pro Football" and longtime Lions fan and Michigan native Randy Snow to talk about both the "reserved hope" of the Lions fans and his recollection of his favorite and not -so-favorite memories of his Lions. Later in the show, we will send a shout out the 1983 World Series, dubbed the I-95 Series and the new segment the Historically Speaking Matchups for Week 5 which incudes the rematch of the very first postseason meeting between the San Francisco 49ers and the Dallas Cowboys.
