I’ve been a Detroit Lions fan for more than 54 years and now that I’m retired, I’ve spent a fair amount of time on YT researching sport videos and I have to say that you have one of the most thoughtful, knowledgeable channels as it relates to the Detroit Lions. Keep up the good work!

[@johnnygazsports]

This means so much to me. Especially from someone who has been a fan for so long! Appreciate you.

Me to Charles...I had season tickets when I was 20 years old in the bleachers at TS. then the Silver Dome. I couldn't give those tickets away near the front on the 50! This is fun after a lifetime of WCF ruining Sundays. Russ Thomas, then the Raider and Mayback (?) None of them football me. Finally!! Very impressed with GM and Coaches.

[@johnschatzle8157]

Yes he will ball out. The lions are going to be so much better on both sides of the ball. I sincerely love your show. You know what your talking about and don't use profanity. Let's go Lions 🏈

[@johnnygazsports]

I appreciate either kind words. Thank you! I am very excited for this year.

❤Alim the Dream

[@EvanJohnson-t1e]

Lions d-line looking scary! Especially with a healthy James Houston, Adain Hutchinson, DJ Reader, and Alim McNeill. There’s no reason for that unit not to be top 5 in the league!

[@johnnygazsports]

Agree with you. If healthy this line could be very good!

[@Brent6437]

Alim is and will be a Dawg. Brad Holmes will make for sure he stays in Detroit Rock City 💥💙

[@Brent6437]

Great job Johnny G.

[@Brent6437]

With DJR. I believe Alim can reach 10 to 11 sacks. And yea he will.

[@johnnygazsports]

I really hope so. All indications are he is on the path for a BIG Payday!

[@johnnygazsports]

Your the man! Thank you!

Will Alim McNeill become a star in 2024? Does he earn that contract??

[@HeavyHittas23]

Do you know what I believe, he will. He’s already showed that he’s willing to sacrifice put in the work. He’s got the mindset, the skill, the ability the talent. I think a lot of people will write him off. I think he’ll make it next year. A big contract.

[@johnnygazsports]

Yes sir! He is a big man with some big plans!

[@HeavyHittas23]

@@johnnygazsports you got it, Johnny! I appreciate the responses as well.

[@LiberalMedia1]

I'm certain he's already earned a long term contract. My question is, if he balls out this year, can we afford to pay him as a top tier DT? That's where the rubber will meet the road. Would you make him the highest paid DT in football next year if he has big stats this year?

[@johnnygazsports]

@@LiberalMedia1​​⁠your exactly right and I expect that to be the case. They will have to decide if he is worth that HUGE contract. My guess is they pay him and will have to continue to draft behind and take 1 yr FA deals to fill in the gaps and depth.

[@tonym2513]

Alim is already respected around the league by other players. Everyone knows who he is and thinks he’s gonna pop.

[@johnnygazsports]

You’re right he definitely has shown out. Good things in 2024!

Bubba Gump has 100 ways to cook shrimp.

[@johnnygazsports]

You can barbecue it, boil it, broil it, bake it, saute it. Shrimp-kabobs, shrimp creole, shrimp gumbo. Pan fried, deep fried, stir-fried. There's pineapple shrimp, lemon shrimp, coconut shrimp, pepper shrimp, shrimp soup, shrimp stew, shrimp salad, shrimp and potatoes, shrimp burger, shrimp sandwich. - My favorite movie!

[@HeavyHittas23]

Yeah bro, love the videos. You do some really nice work. I enjoy watching them. Keep it up man.

This means so much to me, for real! Thank you!
