We’ve all been there. You get a text message that you’re not interested in, or just can’t answer in thr moment. It gets back-burnered and sometimes forgotten.
It happens. It also happens to happen a great deal more if you’re a Detroit Lions player. Several Lions players revealed they’re inattentive on keeping up with messages or just downright ignore them all.
Thanks to the Lions media team, we learned that it’s pretty endemic in the locker room to ignore texts.

As Chade Lucas said in the clip, the best way to communicate with the players is old-fashionded calling.
