America, the decision has been made

America, the decision has been made…

It’s taken me over 5 years to make my decision but today I’ve officially chosen my NFL team and it’s the Detroit Lions and this is why…
I’ve just finished up a tour at the Ford Field stadium and learning about who and what the Detroit Lions are about and what they stand for it’s just everything I resonate with and they just fit perfectly to what I stand for.
Not because they’re the safest pick. Not because they’ve won a ton, but because if I’m going to care about a team, I want it to mean something.
Travelling Michigan for 3 weeks and the people we have met, echoes what the Detroit lions represent. Loyalty, resilience and pride.
Detroit Lions fans are loyal and they stick with their team and in the face of adversity they stand together, no matter what the outcome is.
I look forward to following the journey of the lions from now on and I’m calling it… Next year the Super Bowl will be ours.

Josh and Jase stood side by side in front of the cameras, smiles still wide, voices steady but filled with belief, and it was clear this was more than just another confident offseason quote. This was a statement of intent. When they talked about winning the Super Bowl with the Detroit Lions next year, it didn’t sound like wishful thinking or hype designed for headlines. It sounded like two people who genuinely believe the pieces are already in place and that the moment Detroit has been waiting for is finally within reach.

Josh was the first to speak, and he didn’t shy away from the weight of history that comes with wearing a Lions jersey. He acknowledged that Detroit has heard promises before, that fans have endured decades of disappointment, near-misses, and seasons where hope faded too quickly. But he emphasized that this group is different, not just in talent, but in mindset. According to him, the locker room has changed. There’s a quiet confidence now, a sense that everyone understands their role and is committed to doing the hard, unglamorous work that championships demand. He talked about how last season, even in moments of adversity, the team never fractured. Instead, those moments hardened them and taught them how to win together.

Jase followed by pointing out that the Lions are no longer sneaking up on anyone. Teams now prepare for Detroit with respect, sometimes even fear, and that shift matters. He said the players feel it on the field, in the way opponents adjust, in the way games are contested. For him, that respect is earned, but it also raises expectations internally. He stressed that no one in the building is satisfied with being competitive or exciting. The goal is singular and unapologetic: to bring a Super Bowl to Detroit. He said that goal is written into their daily routine, into film sessions, weight room workouts, and offseason planning.

Both Josh and Jase spoke at length about the leadership within the team. They praised the veterans who set the tone and the younger players who have bought in faster than expected. Josh mentioned how accountability has become non-negotiable. Mistakes are addressed immediately, not to embarrass anyone, but to ensure standards never slip. He described a culture where players challenge each other openly, where honesty is valued more than comfort. In his words, that kind of environment doesn’t just produce good football, it produces resilient football, the kind needed in January and February.

Jase focused on preparation and how the Lions have embraced the idea that championships are built long before the playoffs begin. He talked about studying teams that have recently won Super Bowls and noticing a common thread: discipline under pressure. According to him, Detroit is learning how to stay composed in high-stakes moments, how to execute when the crowd is loud and the margin for error is thin. He said the coaching staff has been instrumental in drilling situational awareness into every practice, making pressure feel familiar instead of overwhelming.

When asked about the city of Detroit, both men grew visibly more passionate. Josh described the fans as a driving force, not a backdrop. He said playing in front of a fanbase that has waited so long for success adds responsibility, but also motivation. Every cheer, every chant, every sold-out stadium reminds the team that they’re playing for something bigger than themselves. He spoke about how the city’s resilience mirrors the team’s identity, tough, hardworking, and unwilling to quit. To him, winning a Super Bowl in Detroit wouldn’t just be a sporting achievement, it would be a shared victory for an entire community.

Jase echoed that sentiment, adding that the bond between the team and the city is something you can’t manufacture. He said players feel it when they’re out in public, when fans stop them just to say thank you for giving them something to believe in. That connection, he believes, fuels the extra effort late in games and late in the season. It’s the difference between being talented and being relentless. He said the Lions want to be a team that opponents dread facing, not just because of schemes or skill, but because of effort that never drops.

They were also realistic about the road ahead. Josh acknowledged that winning a Super Bowl is brutally difficult and that nothing is guaranteed in the NFL. Injuries, close games, and unpredictable moments are part of the journey. But he emphasized that belief doesn’t mean ignoring reality. It means trusting the work you’ve done to handle whatever comes. He said the team is approaching next season with humility and hunger, knowing they haven’t won anything yet, but also knowing they are capable of winning everything.

Jase concluded by saying that the Lions aren’t chasing headlines or validation from outside voices. Their focus is internal, on daily improvement and collective trust. He said if they stay healthy, stay connected, and stay committed to their identity, the Super Bowl isn’t a dream, it’s a destination. He spoke calmly, confidently, as if he’d already visualized holding the trophy in Detroit colors.

Together, Josh and Jase made it clear that this wasn’t a bold prediction meant to stir excitement for a moment. It was a declaration rooted in preparation, belief, and a deep understanding of what it takes to reach the top of the NFL. For the Detroit Lions and their long-suffering fans, their words felt like a promise backed by action, and the idea of a Super Bowl parade in Detroit no longer feels impossible, but inevitable if everything they described continues to fall into place.
