Detroit Lions quarterback Jared Goff went on the Willbo Trading Cards podcast this week and took a bit of a shot at Detroit sports media.
“I have this like, I probably need to drop it pretty soon here because I’m hopefully gonna be in Detroit for a long time, but I have this thing with our local media where like they almost like relish in negativity at times. And maybe that’s what gets clicked and that’s what sells, but it’s no longer what they need to live in. Like, hey guys, we have a good team. We’ve had success. We can be happy about that we can celebrate that and not have to write about how we’re constantly the underdog. No, teams are gonna be gunning for us now. We won the divsion and all that. I’m probably overthinking it in my head and it’s the chip on my shoulder and the competitor in me.”
The answer was in reference to Goff’s funny response to a reporter during the playoffs when he pointed out that while the 49ers have All-Pro’s on their team, the Lions do as well.
