Detroit sports podcasters Greg Eno, Big Al Beaton and Nick Milanovich are The Knee Jerks!
This week The Knee Jerks discuss all four Detroit teams, Topics include:
The Detroit Red Wings are dealing with their third consecutive March swoon, losing five straight games. The Ides of March, indeed.
The Wings will need at least 95 points to make the post season. It ain't happening.
GM Steve Yzerman made one trade deadline deal, which was little more than shuffling deck chairs.
Yzerman drafts well, but his roster construction is greatly lacking. As in Troy Weaver style lacking.
It's beyond obvious Yzerman feels no urgency with his slow roll rebuild, getting no pressure from the front office, media or fan base.
The Detroit Lions entered free agency with questions on the defensive line. Those questions still remain after releasing edge Za'darius Smith.
They allowed cornerback Carlton Davis III to move on, but replaced him with the arguably better D.J. Reed.
During interviews made after taking the Chicago Bears job, Ben Johnson made derogatory cracks about Jared Goff.
The Detroit Pistons are currently the six seed in the East, only one game out of 4th (and the home advantage that comes with it).
For lack of a better word, the defensive minded Pistons are playing with "grit." Something the Red Wings lack in spades.
We are not sure what to make of the Detroit Tigers. Good starting rotation and (possibly volatile) bullpen, but below league average offense still in need of a veteran bat. They could win 75 games or win 90 games. But thanks to injuries to Matt Vierling and Parker Meadows, it's just too early to tell.
We also play Greg's Birthday game and name our respective Jerk of the Week!

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
