Agree. I know he doesn't give two fucks but he was mercilessly mocked and ridiculed 3+ years ago. That dude is one of the cornerstones of the turn around. He's the Fords' property manager. He's done well.
Martha gave him free reign and he hired Bob Quinn, he let Bob Quinn fire Caldwell and hire Matt Patricia AND he was the reason for the skiff with Calvin Johnson in the first place. Ownership changing to Sheila Hemp and her hiring Chris Spielman and listening to him instead of this guy is what turned the Lions around. Sheila and Chris deserve ALL the credit for putting the right people in place. He proved he couldn't do it but has now had his heiny saved in the public eye.
Thank you, thank you, thank you, Sheila for bringing in the ownership commitment you have. It's wonderful to watch all that you have done from the beginning of your tenure and what has become of your decisions.
Detroit Lions 🦁 new uniforms! Ooooh! I hope they go with the deep Honolulu Blue of the 70s, 80s and 90s. Blue face mask would be 🔥 🔥 🔥. And if they brought back the silver (metallic grey): that would be out of this world 🔥 🔥 🔥 … I’m looking forward to what it will be. Honolulu Blue, Siver and White! White with silver and blue striped pants? Honolulu blue with silver and white stripes? Silver pants with Honolulu Blue and white stripes?
why is the audio ALWAYS so horrible. You can NEVER hear the questions with Lions media. multi million dollar organization cant have the equipment needed for simple audio.
Chill out man. It's not like there's 5+ people in the comments section of every presser saying this exact thing for the last 3 years. Give them time to fix it :P
The Lions were prohibited from changing their team alternate uniform color last year. The NFL has some silly rule about how often teams can change alternate UNI colors. The Lions were able to add an alternate helmet, because they had not done that in a long time. So the pairing of the Color Rush Grays with the Mustang Racing Stripes Blue Helmet was the best they could do last year.
Love this man, Go Lions! Get these press people some mics, I love consuming all this content but we're always left guessing what's being asked, it's a little bush league lol
Lots of great info and insight here. Rod is clearly of high intelligence and good humor. But if we don't hear the questions then we're all out here just guessing what the hell we're talking about for a good portion of this session. Sure some of Rod's answers make it easy to deduce a few of them.. To the Detroit Lions Media team: Confusion is an emotion that easily lends to anger. I'm sure you understand what I'm trying to say.. There has GOT to be a way to get some more microphones placed around these events.
Disner has his hands in so much "stuff" with the organization, a jack of all trades I guess. Vastly under/rated as to what he brought to this organization in this turn around. Remember he was a hold over from the last regime, so he must be doing something right. At some point he becomes a Pres. of some NFL team I'd bet.
I just goggle the Lions ticket prices vs the league prices and they're on par. With that being said I do miss the lower rate,but I understand team was losing and so you charged losing rate.
Lower bowl 50 yard line? Try upper deck 20 yard line, paid between $110 to $130 per month over the last three seasons, jumped to $210 for 2024. 96% renewal? Really? Then why did I get 5 more emails, two direct calls and four texts about renewing even after I told my Lions Loyal representative that I would not be renewing this year.... But whatever.
You can attempt to justify that price jump all u want, but the fact is, regardless of league average, that was ridiculous!!!! The percentage jump was way too big for normal people! And u justifying it by saying that most people went with it is dishonest at best. Its not that they considered it acceptable, they got cornered after many years of owning those tickets. This team is vastly better, and we appreciate that. But, many of us are ashamed at how fast you jumped on the gouge em bandwagon after decades of futility. You still haven’t won crap!
So wild to have a competent franchise after all these years
I don't know what to do with my hands.
..a bean counter w/half a brain..
Dude I know!! I feel lost and happy 😂
I really wish we could hear the questions
That's 1 thing that they must fix on these pressers. Can never really hear the darn questions. Gotta get that fixed.
i don't most of the detroit media have annoying ass voices anyway
Been years saying this same thing. Never changes.
i think they do it on purpose for some reason
I’m so glad we have this man on board. He’s been great for us!
He does nothing and gets paid millions of dollars a year..

ALSO, the NFL sucks balls but you go to war with the army you have, not the army you want.

Im on the waiting list for season tickets as well. Cant wait for this season!!
Rod is such a class act our franchise has really did a full circle change and it's so beautiful to see...
Many thanks to Sheila Rod Mike and Chris for hiring Brad and Dan.
Appreciate the update on Cam Sutton, since the only reporting was that he had not been seen since March 7.
Can we get Chris & Sheila on next? 🙏

Make sure that our new uniforms are COLOR COORDINATED with the Blue Helmets!!!!!

@@kennethralcock really??? Well that freaking sucks.
Need to go with white helmets with the blue Lion on it
@@samlopiccolo8565 nahhh to basic. Need to spice it up
Really should add sub titles on the people asking questions
Been nice to actually hear the questions…

Your the man Rod!!!
Why doesn’t Dallas ever play in Detroit?
I said the same thing. Also when was the last time Arizona has been here.
@@sneakypete139MCDC's first year, that AZ game was in Ford Field

Just say rich people trying to get more money by squeezing normal people
The Lions are good thanks to Rod Wood. 🦁
I think Rod did very well in this interview!!
Rod with that Kool-Aid smile 😊
My favorites is the full silver helmet with the light blue jersey. Not sure why the blue is darker now?
Me too!
Because the original Honolulu Blue is actually a dark blue. They lightened up over the years.
I hate the Grey. Actually all Grey. Our colors are blue white why is there Grey. Especially with no designs. Just the color
Hmm why weren't the authorities notified immediately. Is he still on the run?
First ive been willing to listen to a pc by this level in this org. 😊
Just hope they kept the “blueberries”!
Undefeated wearing them last year
april 18th should be the reveal date for the new unis
WE STILL CANT HEAR THE QUESTIONS!
These New Jerseys better be 🔥or it’s your head Rod….ROD!
The away uniforms better still be the icy whites. Best uniforms in awhile.
WE CANT HEAR THE QUESTIONS

But whatever.
Can we please hear the questions next time? We have the technology for fksake!
Make the BLUE Helmets our regular uniform helmet. i don't care what else you do......
BRING BACK THE BLACK UNIS FROM THE MILLEN ERA THOSE THINGS WERE BAD ASS
Yeah,love those.Especially the mock up uni with the black helmet.🔥

The Lions have messed around and screwed up the sweetest unis in the game. 🙁
They can keep the same colors but make em more modern
So you liked the all Grey no design helmet and jersey. Ew 🤢
@@STREAMSONLY-vt6gxI am a fan of the Platinum Pajamas with the new Blue Helmet
@@STREAMSONLY-vt6gxthe silver helmet with no decal was slick, I really liked it
Get some black uniforms and matching helmets.
I dnt understand y this bum wasn't fire just like rest of them
What are you yapping about?
