ESPN Radio personality Mike Greenberg is known for being a New York Jets fan, but the man affectionately known as “Greeny” has a soft spot for Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford too.
In an appearance on the Big Drew and Jim Show on ESPN 96.1 in Grand Rapids to promote his own new show on the network, Greenberg professed his belief in Stafford’s ability to win.
“I am a Stafford fan and I have long been, and remain, a believer in him. They’ve never gotten it right around him really. Maybe they will.”
While prefacing his comment with the telling “they’re probably a long ways away” from contending, Greenberg offered this on the Lions,
“I wouldn’t be shocked if they won a lot more games this year than most people are probably going to project.”
It’s a candid view from the outside that isn’t necessarily shared by many of Greenberg’s colleagues.
