The Valenti Show

On this week's Best Of Lions, Costa & Jansen discuss whether they'd take a certain deal with the devil to guarantee success in the 2026 season. Then, Karsch & Anderson talk with NBC Sports' Jason Garrett; Valenti & Rico point out the issue with Lions fans' "Super Bowl or bust" mindset, and much more!

Valenti and Rico kicked off the final show of the week with some CFB and Lions talk in the first hour. Then, they became entrenched in the topic of the day (and maybe week) regarding Tarik Skubal's much-anticipated return to Detroit to face the Tigers tonight for the rest of the show.

The guys covered a lot of ground to begin today's show. In the first segment, Mike came equipped with some college football updates from last season to this season, shifting to some Lions talk in the second segment and why he doesn't care to watch/break down the preseason. Then, they discussed year 2 of Bill Belichick before doing a draft of the best CFB helmets.

Mike and Rico spent the entire second hour with a discussion about the potential reception Tarik Skubal will get in Detroit in his first game back since getting traded to the Dodgers.

The picks are back as the guys opened the third hour with their predictions for Week 0 of college football. Then, they got right back to your calls about Skubal's return to Detroit tonight.
