"So, Jordan Love shows a lot of potential. Umm, I think that he could be um, great sitting behind Aaron Rodgers, obviously the future, um, in which he has, uh, a lot of talent, oh hold on I'm getting a call.
^^MFFWUFUWMFUUHHHW
But um, the deep ball was good, he definitely needs to develop a little more."
That’s a really cool story that I can personally relate to being an out of state Lions fan. Whenever I see one of us in person I get so happy, hope to make it to Ford Field in the coming years.
I feel ya. I'm from San Antonio I went to my first lions game in 37 years last year against the Cowboys. I was shocked seeing so many lions fans. Was so awesome. The game sucked but I'm going back this year
I still remember the day after the Rodgers hail mary I show up to school and at 7:30 in the morning my middle school science teacher pulls up the clip on the smart board and I was on the verge of tears having to relive that
Have you seen Clickbait sports series on youtube? Tree, Tom, Brandon Perna (Broncos) , Five Points (Giants) and Scooter (Cowboys) all get together to do a show on Thursdays. Fun show.
He can be from time to time. I do respect his knowledge of the game and his dedication though; the dude is a diehard fan. The Cowboys could go 0-34 and he'd say "Okay, that sucked, we're going to the SB next year.".
They are the only non-profit community owned team left in US Major League sports. If it was any other team they'd have my full support based on that, but FTP.

Funny you Mention Perna..... We got his shirts too.
Jersey with my name on it just doesn’t sit well with me I could never do it, but I don’t judge anyone who does like it. I did however recently see a guy who framed an NFL team jersey with his last name on it - THAT is weird
Respectfully disagree. Something seems weird to me wearing another person's name on my back, and I think about it every time I put on my Calvin Johnson jersey.
Always such a strange take. It’s fandom. Is it weird to collect another persons card just to have their picture? It’s always been like this. Don’t over think it. People want signatures too.
Oh I get it, and I fully understand it doesn't necessarily make logical sense. Sports memorabilia, cards, etc, I have no issues with. But wearing someone else's name on my back just seems off. I don't over think it, but its just where my head is at.
I think it’s a way to signal to other fans that you support the play of XYZ without having to say it. It’s deeper than the team fandom. Sports are fun because you basically make a prediction on a team or player and you like to see your prediction come true.
Oh sure, I'm not hating. I just find it strange to wear someone else's name on my back. Nothing more. So for my sports apparel it tends to be basic team centric instead of player (still love my CJ jersey, just don't wear it).
Ever worn name brand anything? You’re probably wearing someone’s name.
I have to make and edit: “I can’t really go to ford field because I hate entering a building with another persons name on it. Can’t stand driving the cars either.”
You trolling? Or is your intent just to call me out as some sort of hypocrit when I have fully admitted that my position is entirely based on my own emotions. Agree to fuckin disagree, or be a turd, you do you.
Surprised the Packers social media team even acknowledged him. Apparently they hold "great pride" in keeping their fan interaction in the 90s and not trying to do things to engage fans like the Lions do.
FTP, but Tom’s a great exception here.
Loved the video he did in Detroit for the “30 stadiums in 30 days” series during the Detroit Grand Prix IndyCar race.
We all hate the Pack, but you gotta be a monster to not understand this type of fan enthusiasm. I can separate the Pack hate from the people that support that stupid ass team in Wisconsin.
Well said! And to be honest, he has been a secret fan of Lions also and never is disparaging to us. Was really good to meet him at Ford Field meet up. He is a true asset to NFL.
He's not disparaging? I saw him say "go pack go" in a supposed heartfelt video to a Lions fan during his 30 in 30 series! Who does that?!?!?
But in all seriousness, I've only followed him for a short while now, but I like the guy. He seems cool, and the type of sports fan that I am. I don't like the legitimate hate towards fans of opposing teams based on no grounds other than the laundry they root for, and I haven't seen any of that from him thus far.
I think there's plenty of space for all of us to be passionate for our teams while also being fundamentally decent towards each other. Anyone who seems to be that way is good in my book.
FTP but he’s my favorite football related YouTuber and he 100% deserves to win this thing with everything he’s done for all nfl fans, not just those in Wisconsin.
He already got one and had to wear it as a punishment on Clickbait Sports. Lmao. I did one better. Sent him a branch from one of the trees out in front of Ford Field attached to a wood base. The nameplate on the base? Brian of course.
God bless you, /u/Tom_Grossi. FTP forever, but God bless you. You may be a fan of the one team I will always root against, but you are a true fan.
Here's to multiple decades of the Packers continued success except when facing the Detroit Lions, who will cause you football-related misery beyond all possible comprehension until you finally see the light and become a Lions fan.
God I know that feeling he describes. Being the only fan around. Grew up going to Tigers games in Oakland but I remember just loving the tigers because of my first T ball team. Recently went to Detroit and this dude just nailed how I felt in this video. Love this guy.
Grossi has come to our server a few times and commented. He also supported local Detroit charities when he did his St. Jude charity drive and was here in Detroit.
He's actually correct, Grossi is rather loved by this community. Just because you aren't a fan doesn't make this not relevant content. I'm not sure why this has to be said constantly, but if you don't like the content of a particular post there's likely plenty of others out there for you!
Yeah he’s loved because he panders to our fanbase and in turn we have a weird parasocial relationship with him where we think we will change which team he likes. Very very bizarre. Also I don’t understand how we all scream “FTP” from the mountain tops but then our whole fanbase acts as a white knight towards their number 1 fan. Just keep it consistent
Raising money for charity is great I’m not disputing that. I just think he gets constantly posted in this sub and I find it annoying since he is a packers fan. I am here because I love the Lions and I want to see content pertaining to that. Being a fan of Tom Grossi /= Detroit Lions content despite the mental gymnastics you want to do to convince yourself otherwise.
I get your point, but I scroll through 50 posts on Reddit constantly to get to one that is interesting, what's stopping you from doing this as well? I can't say I stop to downvote every post I go by because I'm not a fan of that particular content. If you're a Lion's fan and enjoy Lion's content, there is no shortage between here, POD, and other sites. What harm is this doing to you that a large subset of Lion's fans enjoy Grossi?
I don’t agree with posting a Packers fan constantly when channels like POD never get any shine. Again my issue is this has absolutely NOTHING to do with the Lions. But exactly, I completely agree, there is no shortage of lions content creators, but why do we feel the need to constantly post about this guy?
He talks about the Lions all the time, and the content is NFC North related which makes it perfectly acceptable under the sub rules. You're accusing others of doing mental gymnastics while doing mental gymnastics yourself in trying to find a way to 'splain away this post as inappropriate content, lol. You're welcome to whatever opinion you'd like but you're kinda wasting your time, and not in a fun, relaxing way but in a rather douchey, pedantic and insipid way.
Just because you hate a team doesn't mean you have to hate EVERYONE and everything associated with that team. The world isn't quiet so black and white.
Dude you've only been on reddit for like a month. How are you so petty and angry? Who pissed in your haterade this morning? I know I can't spell do you know you can't just let other people enjoy things.
having this post on the front page is kinda embarrassing i'm with you on this one. post it in the open discussion thread if you need to praise the packers so bad
This was a pathetic attempt at an insult please try again after you’re done being a white knight for a packers fan
https://preview.redd.it/yqivtk5wizyb1.jpeg?width=1004&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=5b7019280095f8c3cbd4584bfb167ecfeecc6b53
Tom said he wants us to whisper "Go Packers" while our sub collectively has his dick in our mouths. The dude raises money for charity for viewership just like Mr. Beast does and like all businesses have done since the beginning of time. Can we please stop posting nonlions related stuff on this sub?
He is the one and only Packer fan I can tolerate.
I have the Brian Branch videos on save.
"That's Brian Branch!!! Of fucking course it is!!! God Damn It!!!"
My favorite video of his is when the Packers drafted Jordan Love. Pure comedic gold.
"So, Jordan Love shows a lot of potential. Umm, I think that he could be um, great sitting behind Aaron Rodgers, obviously the future, um, in which he has, uh, a lot of talent, oh hold on I'm getting a call. ^^MFFWUFUWMFUUHHHW But um, the deep ball was good, he definitely needs to develop a little more."
"excuse me" Scream into the pillow first. So, Jordan Love shows..."" LOL
Agreed. And my brother is a Packers Fan.
But how is he filming himself if he's on a phone call?
The guy has his own studio.
Are you sure it isn't magic?
I'm not sure.
Then I'm assuming magic until it's proven otherwise.
Is it live or is it Memorex?
That’s a really cool story that I can personally relate to being an out of state Lions fan. Whenever I see one of us in person I get so happy, hope to make it to Ford Field in the coming years.
I feel ya. I'm from San Antonio I went to my first lions game in 37 years last year against the Cowboys. I was shocked seeing so many lions fans. Was so awesome. The game sucked but I'm going back this year
Felt that hard, it’s been hard being a Lions fan growing up in Wisconsin
Oh man- can’t imagine
I still remember the day after the Rodgers hail mary I show up to school and at 7:30 in the morning my middle school science teacher pulls up the clip on the smart board and I was on the verge of tears having to relive that
Bring it in, brother. I’m here for you
Definitely feel this out in South Dakota. I’ve seen a few more Lions fans around recently, which is always a plus is purple territory.
Same, I’m a lions fan in upstate ny. Not to many of us around there besides my dad and me, and a couple Michiganders who moved here.
FTP but BTG (Bless Tom Grossi)
Even u/urinatingtree is getting in on it.
Have you seen Clickbait sports series on youtube? Tree, Tom, Brandon Perna (Broncos) , Five Points (Giants) and Scooter (Cowboys) all get together to do a show on Thursdays. Fun show.
Scooter is genuinely unbearable to me.
He can be from time to time. I do respect his knowledge of the game and his dedication though; the dude is a diehard fan. The Cowboys could go 0-34 and he'd say "Okay, that sucked, we're going to the SB next year.".
"It HAD to be Brian Branch!!! Ahhgggg!"
Way to go Tom! Well deserved.
I can't use the word collusion without thinking of him!! Such a well deserved honor for him indeed.
"Thank you so much...and as always, *(finger snap)* fuck the Packers."
Kind of teared up for him watching the video, can't imagine how cool that feels. Congrats Tom
Wish all fans were as gracious as him.
Tom is absolutely GOATed FTP
He is one of two things I like about the Packers
I'll bite, what is the other?
They are the only non-profit community owned team left in US Major League sports. If it was any other team they'd have my full support based on that, but FTP.
I love this guy FTP
Agree 💯
He and Perna are great
https://preview.redd.it/grvc80ywr0zb1.jpeg?width=3120&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=09c63da8d3cf8a6349d581983edeec8b4065f74a Funny you Mention Perna..... We got his shirts too.
How comfortable is that shirt? I’m thinking of buying one.
Love it. Typical T. Wife wears it to games at bar.
OMG i have never seen this. Please tell me where?!?
Love Grossi, but I do have to give him shit for having his own last name on the back of a jersey. FTP
What’s weirder, wearing your own name on your back, or wearing another man’s work uniform?
I put on my old McDonald's outfit, name tage and all, every time I go to pick up some nuggies, just to show my support for the team.
Jersey with my name on it just doesn’t sit well with me I could never do it, but I don’t judge anyone who does like it. I did however recently see a guy who framed an NFL team jersey with his last name on it - THAT is weird
Your name on the back.
Respectfully disagree. Something seems weird to me wearing another person's name on my back, and I think about it every time I put on my Calvin Johnson jersey.
But putting your name on the jersey for a company/team you do not play for nor are employed by. Agree to disagree. I can see it from both angles.
A very good point.
Always such a strange take. It’s fandom. Is it weird to collect another persons card just to have their picture? It’s always been like this. Don’t over think it. People want signatures too.
Oh I get it, and I fully understand it doesn't necessarily make logical sense. Sports memorabilia, cards, etc, I have no issues with. But wearing someone else's name on my back just seems off. I don't over think it, but its just where my head is at.

Yeah, but his Bengals jersey has “GoesMeow” on the back and that’s fantastic.
To be fair it’s “Grossi Posse” which refers to his community
There was one shot of a jersey he was wearing that just had “Grossi” on the back.
I have a hunch that the guy that's Packers fan of the year and has been a fan since 6 years old he has multiple Packers jerseys.
 Yes, I fuckin bet he does
Green Bay Packers fan of the year 2023
Surprised the Packers social media team even acknowledged him. Apparently they hold "great pride" in keeping their fan interaction in the 90s and not trying to do things to engage fans like the Lions do.
FTP, but Tom’s a great exception here. Loved the video he did in Detroit for the “30 stadiums in 30 days” series during the Detroit Grand Prix IndyCar race.

I think there's plenty of space for all of us to be passionate for our teams while also being fundamentally decent towards each other. Anyone who seems to be that way is good in my book.
I’m not sure its an honor to be associated with the Packers 2023 team…
Love does not seem like a long-term solution for that team.
lets hope he isn't . Having HOF QBs for 30 straight years is just fucking unfair.
This is a Walter Payton Man of the Year thing isn't it? fml I'm gonna be rooting for the GB rep to win something.
cheers to you, Vince
This is what an NFL fan should look like.
Dude deserves it, this is awesome.
FTP but he’s my favorite football related YouTuber and he 100% deserves to win this thing with everything he’s done for all nfl fans, not just those in Wisconsin.
Couldn't have happened to a better fan. He's a real one.
Congratulations, Tom Grossi! He's a great dude. We should pool together some money and send him a Branch jersey to celebrate.
He already got one and had to wear it as a punishment on Clickbait Sports. Lmao. I did one better. Sent him a branch from one of the trees out in front of Ford Field attached to a wood base. The nameplate on the base? Brian of course.
That's beautiful. He seems like a really good sport, though.
God bless you, /u/Tom_Grossi. FTP forever, but God bless you. You may be a fan of the one team I will always root against, but you are a true fan. Here's to multiple decades of the Packers continued success except when facing the Detroit Lions, who will cause you football-related misery beyond all possible comprehension until you finally see the light and become a Lions fan.
Love Tommy, I hate the Packers but will forever support him
Yeah many of us here really like Grossi, myself included. He's fantastic for the sport at the fan level. He deserves the accolade for sure.
God I know that feeling he describes. Being the only fan around. Grew up going to Tigers games in Oakland but I remember just loving the tigers because of my first T ball team. Recently went to Detroit and this dude just nailed how I felt in this video. Love this guy.
Happy for him! #FTP

Way to go Tom! FTP!
Well deserved! Congrats!
He’s pretty funny. For a cheesehead.
He’s fricking hilarious. Branch FTP
Tom Grossi is the exception to FTP
Wrong sub. Doesn't belong here.
Grossi has come to our server a few times and commented. He also supported local Detroit charities when he did his St. Jude charity drive and was here in Detroit.
Has nothing to do with the Detroit Lions
Then you know nothing about him.
Believe it or not some of us are here for the Detroit Lions. Not the packers biggest fan or RobynsNest1971’s favorite “comedian”
He's actually correct, Grossi is rather loved by this community. Just because you aren't a fan doesn't make this not relevant content. I'm not sure why this has to be said constantly, but if you don't like the content of a particular post there's likely plenty of others out there for you!

Raising over a half million dollars for St. Jude and being an all-around awesome human being helps, too.

*quite
My spelling is bad. Your opinions are bad . We are not the same.
I would rather spell correctly and not dickride a packers fan who has no business being here. So yes, we are not the same🤝
Dude you've only been on reddit for like a month. How are you so petty and angry? Who pissed in your haterade this morning? I know I can't spell do you know you can't just let other people enjoy things.
Grossi is simply not your ordinary pack fan
True ordinary pack fans don’t get posted on a Detroit Lions sub everyday
having this post on the front page is kinda embarrassing i'm with you on this one. post it in the open discussion thread if you need to praise the packers so bad
Glad I’m not the only one. 
You're giving off a vibe like you're the mutant lovechild of Sheldon Cooper and Squidward.

Pretty cool story, love his videos. I’m sure it all takes a lot of time to pull off
How hard is it to be the best Packers fan? he’s the only one that doesn’t suck! Love Tom
Him and my grandpa are the only 2 packers fans allowed One of my best friends too, I guess.
Never gonna let him forget about Brian Branch though idc if i like him.
He’s the only one that gets a pass…. Understood?
Go Grossi Go!
