Detroit sports podcasters Greg Eno, Big Al Beaton and Nick Milanovich are The Knee Jerks!
We're back from our extended summer vacation. Our special guest is also ready to return to broadcasting after a summer off - Detroit Red Wings radio play-by-play man Ken Kal!
Ken makes his annual appearance to preview the coming Red Wings season, discussing roster moves, trades, free agency, prospects, Sergei Fedorov's jersey being retired, and the late Alex Delvecchio.
In the second half of the show, our topics include:
The Detroit Lions' loss to the Green Bay Packers was concerning, to say the very least.
It shouldn't be a shock that a team with so much coaching upheaval did not get off to a good start.
The Lions' offense looked nothing like the dynamic force we saw in 2024. The pitchforks and torches are already out for OC John Morton.
Za'Darius Smith will not be the reason the Lions win or lose. But when Dan Campbell told 97.1 The Ticket, "We're good" when asked about not signing Smith, the internet fans lost their minds.
Jameson Williams got paid. Who's left for the Lions to extend?
Tarik Skubal will win the Cy Young again. Unfortunately, due to injuries and ineffectiveness with the rest of the staff, the Detroit Tigers will revert to "Pitching chaos" in the postseason.
Did POBO Scott Harris do enough at the trade deadline? He has fallen in love with his prospects, which likely played into their not making any trades that truly moved the needle.
What does the future hold for former (maybe future) Detroit Pistons guard Malik Beasley? The feds have not yet fully cleared him of gambling allegations. As for the NBA, we just don't know how hard they may come down on him.
We also play Greg's Birthday game and name our respective Jerk of the Week!
Programming note: The Knee Jerks will return on Monday, September 22nd
