Detroit sports podcasters Greg Eno, Big Al Beaton, and Nick Milanovich are The Knee Jerks!
We held off recording a new episode for a few days, waiting on the Detroit Tigers - Seattle Mariners ALDS to come to a conclusion or reach game 5. Also, Al is still in the Michigan wilderness, so today's show will be shorter than usual, and the audio version will be bare bones.
This week, our topics include:
The Tigers' offense continues its weeks-long slumber, dropping ALDS games two (a loss despite Tarik Skubal allowing just two runs) and three (Jack "Jekyll and Hyde" Flaherty was Dr Jekyll). This has left the Tigers in a hit the damn ball or the season is over situation.
Meanwhile, the Detroit Lions continue to roll, winners of four straight. Their latest game was a relatively workman-like 37-24 road win over the Cincinnati Bengals. Coming up are the surprisingly under .500 Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday Night Football. Unfortunately, injuries are taking a toll on the defense AGAIN. This year, it's the cornerback room that is being decimated.
The Detroit Red Wings start their season this week, with a possible youth movement as three rookies made the roster. When it comes to team building, here are similarities between the Tigers' POBO Scott Harris and Wings GM Steve Yzerman.
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.
