We always love an excuse to visit with former Orioles voice Michael Reghi, who has made a life in Cleveland calling college sports and NBA games but quickly reached for his Lions ballcap with Detroit hosting a rare January NFL game. Can the Browns advance with Flacco? Will Lamar win a Super Bowl? And Stafford vs. Goff is almost as big as Jim Harbaugh in Motown.
