Andrew Birkle and Shawn Windsor are back with the latest episode of the Freep Sports Show to preview the massive Week 2 showdown between the Lions and Bills. Can Kelvin Sheppard and the Lions' hampered secondary find a way to slow down Josh Allen? Is this the toughest game of the season for the Lions? What will the Lions do at the RB2 spot now that Isiah Pacheco is slated to miss a good portion of the season. 

Then after the break (13:37), the guys play a game of "Rate the Take."
Do the Lions need to trade for DB or risk losing the season?
Are the Bills the toughest game on the Lions schedule?
Will Ben Johnson win a Super Bowl before Dan Campbell?

All of that and a lot more with Shawn and Andrew.

The Freep Sports Show is your home for Detroit and Michigan sports! When Dylan Larkin requests a trade, the Tigers send Tarik Skubal packing or the Lions get hosed by a ref, we'll be there with you to react. 


Hosted by longtime Detroit Free Press columnist Shawn Windsor and Freep sports staffer Andrew Birkle, the Freep Sports Show is our first major step in revamping how we get our award-winning content to you, the audience.


So what makes this podcast different than the millions of others that are out there? The answer is simple: We've got the best team of experts in local sports just a phone call away.


Dave Birkett (Lions), Helene St. James (Red Wings), Omari Sankofa II (Pistons), Chris Solari (Michigan State athletics), Tony Garcia (Michigan athletics), Jared Ramsey (high school sports), Christian Romo (trending news), Rainer Sabin (college football and NFL), and our team of legendary columnists (Shawn Windsor, Carlos Monarrez and Jeff Seidel) give us a never-ending rolodex of insiders ready to roll at a moment's notice.


If you've been searching far and wide for the right podcast that will discuss ALL your favorite teams in the Mitten State, look no further. We can't wait for you to join us, as we pride ourselves on engaging with commenters on livestreams and interacting as much as possible.


Join us for three shows a week, including a LIVE reaction show after every Detroit Lions game this season.


You can find every episode of the Freep Sports Show on Apple Podcasts, Spotify or YouTube. For more, visit freep.com/sports.
