Amon-Ra St. Brown apparently can’t convince his brother to stay in Detroit during his team’s historic playoff run.
In their weekly episode of “The St. Brown Podcast” that released Wednesday, the Lions wide receiver and his older brother Equanimeous St. Brown, a wide receiver on the New Orleans Saints’ practice squad, touched on the possibility of an extended visit to Detroit as the Lions hope to continue their historic playoff run.
“If we win, are you going to go back home and come back? How’s that going to work?” Amon-Ra said. After a pause from his older brother, he continued: “You’re always welcome here and to hang around.”
“In Detroit for the week?” the older St. Brown said, appearing skeptical.
As the No. 1 seed in their conference, the Lions have homefield advantage against the Washington Commanders on Saturday night at Ford Field. If the Lions win, it would set up a NFC Championship game in Detroit the following weekend.
“Can I ask you, what would you do in Detroit, if you were me, for the week?” Equanimeous asked.
When the Lions wide receiver told him he’d “figure out something” to do, the older St. Brown brother quickly bit back:
“I mean, you’ve been there, like, four years now, what would you do?”
After some back and forth between the brothers, Amon-Ra suggested that he knew of some good food and dinner spots, but didn’t offer much more than dinner and a trip to the casino. “You wanna watch a movie?” Amon-Ra offered, clearly not selling his brother on the idea.
“I don’t know, it doesn’t sound like too fun to stay there for a whole week,” he said. “I’d rather be in sunny weather, you know, 69 degree weather, 70 degree weather. I don’t want cloudy skies.”
This isn’t the first time Equanimeous has appeared to diss on Detroit. In October, on the same podcast, he made some disparaging remarks about the city.
“Detroit — no one’s going there, I promise you. … I think a lot of people outside Detroit would agree with me,” Equanimeous St. Brown said. “Like … if they could choose to live anywhere in the world or the country, they would not choose Detroit. Hate to say it.”
“I think a lot of Detroit fans would have something to say to that,” Amon-Ra replied.
