Dan Orlovsky recalls true story of Detroit Lions play-caller falling asleep mid-game

The early days of Dan Orlovsky's first tenure with the Detroit Lions were full of losses.

And funny stories of dysfunction.

That's what we learned Friday when he joined former NFL defensive end Chris Long on his "Green Light" podcast.

"You were in Detroit, what was your most dysfunctional thing that you saw there?" asked Long.

"How much time do you have?" Orlovsky said.

Then Orlovsky, who made seven starts for the Lions over seven seasons and is now an ESPN NFL analyst, told a few stories that might make Lions fans both laugh and cry.
