On the 85th episode of “Great Dane Nation,” Morten is again joined by VegasInsider’s Stephanie Otey, who will be contributing to the podcast over the next few months as the NFL offseason continues to roll along!

Off the top, Morten pleads his case for the Detroit Lions to make the playoffs in 2022 to the court, as Stephanie defends the side of the public – that the Lions are horrible and have no shot at the postseason (04:42). TommyFreezePops (Tom Carroll) makes the final judgment at the end of the podcast.

We then move to this week’s edition of “Doink or Down the Middle,” where our hosts buy (“down the middle”) or sell (“doink”) various topics from the world of pop culture, sports, food, music and more (15:07). How do our hosts take their coffee? Do they enjoy the patriotic tradition of fireworks on the 4th of July? Plus, Morten makes an official podcast decree on reality television.

We close things out with our new segment called “Play Call Headlines.” TommyFreezePops reads some news and notes from today’s headlines in football, and our hosts are tasked to turn that news into a traditional football play call you would hear in an NFL huddle on a Sunday (24:36). One of our hosts didn’t necessarily grasp the concept this time around, which makes for some unintended comedy!
