Reading the spelling while listening to him saying it, would it be weird to suggest Onwuzurike is mispronouncing his own name? Some of those early letters look out of order compared to how he’s saying it….

Onwuzurike pronunciation much appreciated!

Really good that you got him to pronounce his name. Really respectful thing and it matters.

I missed the mailbag, but here's a question maybe some can weigh in on: What are the chances that we 'play our cards close to the vest' tomorrow, so as to not show Buffalo too much. Thought being, the odds of meeting again in February are good, and we can afford the loss. Thoughts?

They'll do whatever it takes to win this game. Campbell is all about staying in the moment. He's also all about winning the one in front of you.

I remember living in Redford when Little Caesars was the king of pizza in the early 1960's. Now, everybody is a pizza expert. But LC has gone downhill over the last 50 years. And it's taken the Lions that long to near the top of the mountain.

Thanks I always thought the same thing about missing syllable in Onwuzurike, but sounds like he pronounces it Owunzurike,

but others don't make sense either, another example how do you get La-ver-nee-us Coles

out of La vera nues Coles ?

Is there any clarity on what Melifonu's finger injury is? I can't remember ever seeing a NFL player sidelined for multiple games with a finger injury (Carlton Davis being a recent example).

You've had two here in the last three years. Decker missed several games with a spiral fracture and Jonah Jackson missed three with a bone bruise.

Honestly, Elephant and Co's Detroit style pizza is fantastic. The crust isn't as dense as a lot of other options.

Lunchables are the poor man's Red Baron frozen. However, even though I’ve moved to SoUtah I’ll burn a candle this Christmas for DeLuca’s in Lansing.

Tomatoes Apizza does New Haven style. Try the crab pizza!

Should I try the bread, leftover sauce, and melted string cheese? I'm going to try that just to say I have. . .

Buddies has a thin crust 4 piece that is not too filling. I can eat one bite of Chicago deep dish and I’m ready for a nap.

Nailed it on the owen-zoo pronunciation. Nice touch!

Here is upstate NY, we have ‘upside down’ pizza which is a crust baked w cheese, then toppings and sauce on top. No more burnt mouth! It’s brilliant.

Also, I love Saleh, but can’t see MCDC passing up the opportunity for an internal candidate. But also it’s possible we don’t lose coordinators either.
