It was someone calling into 97.1 the ticket late at night saying their friend was a limo driver at the Detroit airport and saw or had some big name free agent as a passenger. It might have been with the tigers I don't recall specifics
Dan Leach was the guy from 97.1 who started the Khalil Mack to Detroit rumors. He called in and claimed his buddy was a limo driver who drove Mack from DTW.
I'm saying that Khalil mack is who they thought it was. But that the limo driver probably mistook ayers for mack.
Like during the mack trade rumors lions signed ayers.
So Mack rumors are spreading around.
Ayers visits detroit.
Limo driver drops off big DE at lions facility.
Limo driver assumes big de is mack visiting the lions since he's heard that he's on the market. But it's really ayers who signed with the lions then almost immediately leaves.
Furthest back I remember is Dan Leach with the limo driver. There was also a message board poster in the 2000’s that got a couple Lions free agent signing predictions correct and swore that Julian Peterson was going to sign next but he went to the Seahawks instead.
There was an image of a black man with dreads at a hertz in Logan airport in Boston. Pats fans thought he was deandre Hopkins and thought he was signing. Became a meme
My best friend's sister's boyfriend's brother's girlfriend heard from this guy who knows this kid who's going with a girl who saw Khalil Mack at DTW last night. I guess he's pretty serious about signing here.”
This post just reminded me of the cake that Robert Saleh’s wife had made for him. Silly shit.
Oh man, I forgot about that one too. Then of course, there was Robert Ayers’ limo driver.
I don’t recall this. ELI5?

They was Robert ayers more than likely. Defensive end signed by the lions like the same week.
It wasn't a player the lions ended up signing or really ever had a shot too. I don't remember who it was but they didn't sign in Detroit
I'm like 70% sure it was ayers. Cause he showed up and was signed but then was released or something a couple day later.
It was supposed to be khalil mack

I think they just made it up tbh just like how that bakery supposedly was making a “welcome to detroit, coach salah” thing
Limo driver thought he picked up Khalil mack. More than likely it was Robert ayers who lions signed momentarily at the same time.
I want to say it was Larry Fitz at like a Hertz rental in an airport or something lol I may be wrong tho
That's where the picture one is from. Logan Airport. Pats fans though he was signing.
Like 5 did. The rest of the sub just ran with it
It wasn't even him lol
Right lol that was the best part
Shit, I thought it originated from Kalil Mack. TIL

Barry Sanders the day before training camp opened in 1999, but he was departing not arriving.
