Somehow I missed the News’ announcement in June. Training camp came and nothing from Rogers or Birkett. I then find that the Freep guy is covering the Olympics, and you are here. The two of you are as top notch as it gets, and I’m happy to affirm your decision with a subscription.

I am always a fan of those carving a new path. I enjoy your coverage of the Lions and I wish you the best. Substack is a great platform to provide this content. I hope that you succeed.

You should launch a patreon and release the articles like 6 hours earlier on there and have some behind the scenes stuff. Some people make like 10k a month if they do a good job. Honestly, I don't know anyone who pays for substack. But it would be cool to do free on a website or this to build up a fanbase. This is how people do the Internet now.

Good luck to you.

As I said in my email (or perhaps suggested), you are Killer Kowalski incarnate, the apotheosis of Lions reporting. I backed at giving DetNews a nickel of my money, given how abhorrent I've always found their editorial stances, yielding finally on a giveaway promotion, but you I will gladly pay the full boat.

Best of luck. I hope you garner enough support to hire editorial assistants.

When you went from Mlive to the News, I said that was the best deal for the Lions of the season.

This sub was a no f**king brainer. I have always followed you and probably always will. Good luck !
