  • From Fontes to Patricia (Just the Song)
    Jan 27 2024

    This song is an excerpt from A Talk in the Attic Ep. 242. This parody was written and performed by Kirk Ross using Neil Young's "From Hank to Hendrix" as the source of inspiration.

    From Fontes to Patricia
    I stayed rootin’ for you
    I was this close to giving up
    Couldn’t bring myself to
    So many new coaches
    It was an endless hell
    So hard to believe in them
    Until Dan Campbell

    Finally got it together
    MCDC’s bona fide
    He’s built a culture here
    Throw SOL aside

    Scott Mitchell to Matt Stafford
    Sure, they both made me smile
    But now we’re heading to a title game
    San Francisco-style
    I found myself thinking
    Why it’d felt so off
    Turns out, we needed more
    Enter Jared Goff

    Finally got a QB
    One who takes care of the ball
    Calm as a cucumber
    Plus he’s pretty tall

    Sometimes it’s Montgomery
    Other times it’s Jahmyr
    Sun God, LaPorta or Leaf
    With no tacklers near
    Defense getting better
    Finally hitting their stride
    Iffy, Duce, Branch and Cam
    Hutch & Mac inside

    This roster’s so much better
    Younger, faster, and tough as nails
    Plus they’re gritty as f**k
    And GRIT, it never fails

  • From Fontes to Patricia: An Ode to the Detroit Lions
    Jan 26 2024

    *WATCH ON YOUTUBE* ... Kirk dives into his favorite sports team: the Detroit Lions, who are about to take on the San Francisco 49ers in their first NFC Championship game in 32 years. An organization marred by a lack of continuity and buried in futility, these Brand New Lions have everyone talking...and in this case, they've even got Kirk singing (a Lions-themed Neil Young parody).
