Pistons - Unspectacular Trade deadline Jaden Ivey moving on - right move?

Baseball Tigers - More of the same The Hunch heat seems to be turned up ever so slightly - the 1-3-5 triple play did not help Kerry Carpenter - injury absolutely does not help The saga of Torkelson and why a lack of a veteran bat hurts. Upcoming trade deadline - Trade Skubal? Do you trust front office to do it? Willie Mays passes - where does he rank in all time greats? A few things to discuss with his career that are big factors Willie was NOT interested in participating in this discussion. NBA Pistons - Since last show - Weaver and Williams are gone Tragan Langdon (with credible front office support) and Bickerstaff are in Pistons decide on keeping #5 and selecting Ron Holland II Off season additions include a trade for Tim Hardaway Jr and signing Tobias Harris 2024 Playoffs/Finals are mercifully done Celtics - congrats but less than spectacular - Tatum is very good but does not embrace opportunity in Finals to seize Superstar status Olympics - any interest? Golf - US Open - Rory .... Rory..... RORY???? Bryson survives He is young - seriously - but will Scottie Scheffler win a major outside the Masters? Opposed to last few

College Basketball Oakland U Men Basketball incredible run Why it was significant from a national perspective ???What could have been??? Jack Gohlke and Trey Townsend excel to the national spotlight - what's next? Importance of the run - new stadium? Womens NCAA - Here to stay - Data points CANNOT be ignored UM new coach - Dusty May - so much better than most suggestions Red Wings - Oh so close to a playoff berth Dylan Larkin - his absence proving his worth Raymond and Seder - coming in to their own down the stretch Better than last year - few points down stretch This year - inconsistency in games themselves Stretch ending season shows importance of goaltending NOTE - we will get into off season in next show Stanley Cup Playoffs - Chalk - Carolina-Dallas.... We all know NHL Playoffs is never chalk Tigers Pitching seems like always - getting the job done Bats - slow to start season Bats across MLB - down down down Good number do not realize - So far - best AJ Hinch Managed Tiger's team month of April Golf - Scottie Scheffler - Unstoppable - thanks to Rory Still Scottie - second best golfer right now One of the best wraps it up at Augusta PGA coming up in three weeks - Does Scottie only winning Masters thus far diminish anything? LIV golfers - surprise surprise - did not perform well besides BD Lions/NFL Draft Draft is in Detroit - moving on Lions drafting in bottom of 1st round - Who knows Most important local (and maybe most impactful national 2024 draft story) - JJ McCarthy - Where does he go? (If time allows) - Adam tells you the most overrated NFL team going into 2024 - Yes a 2023 darling not named the Lions

Oakland - Dancing... Who - the hell - is Jack Gohlke? Going beyond 6 players rotation theme pays off Townsend embracing the moment against Milwaukee How far can they go in March? Cinderella? Wolverine basketball - Juwan Howard - OUT Will Beilien come back in? Spartan Basketball - How will they perform in March Madness 2024 edition Red Wings - Roller Coaster and at same time - Streaky Too much over reaction from West Coast road trip? Is Stevie Y on hot seat? Different answer than should he be... Tigers - Out of town opinion - They will be ...GOOD We will discuss the latest from Lakeland - Parker Meadows - He has a bat! Rotation shaping up - Skubal, Mize, Manning, Flaherty, Maeda, etc 6 Pitcher rotation.... Bullpen will be epic? Any Tork or K Carpenter concerns with slow spring? Tiger Nation - Not signing JD Martinez? Lions - League New Season/FA period - managing just fine... The Triumvirate extended... Do not forget C Spielman NFL Offseason - Unbelievable - Daily When do you know NFL FO do not what they are doing - Justin Fields from the Bears to Steelers Golf - Any takeaways from Players Championship through 3 rounds.... Masters coming up Still no ultimate agreement between the multiple parties related to the LIV tour - not surprising... Pistons Troy Weaver with the Public... Tremendous disappointment at Trade Deadline - Bojan....etc...

College Football - Wild season here in the State of Michigan for CF UM and the program allegations UM - on the field with season and program for near future in balance this afternoon MSU - Time to reset Playoff - Who should be in? Pro Lions - Going through rough patch OR worse? NFL as a whole - rough watch. Why? College Basketball OU - Decent start to season including Cayman Islands Classic Combo of Watts and Townsend Refreshing - DEPTH Whoa National - Passing of Bobby Knight Tigers/World Series - Awesome MLB playoffs Eduardo opts out Spencer Turnbull is departing Tigers org Matt Sheperd out - Jason Benetti in Pistons - Blow it up Troy Weaver is absolutely on Hot seat

Tigers - Roller coaster Pitching injuries (two straight innings of major pitcher injuries) and valiant returns - Manning/E-Rod/Skubal Hitting is a roller coaster They miss Riley Greene bad Front office approach to obtaining new hitting and approach not promoting farm talent - We will discuss.... Red Wings/NHL Golden Knights - Stanley Cup Winners - Expansion team Lots of commentary around lack of aggressiveness with trading draft picks Stevie Y "staying the course" Free Agent Period - Goalie Extravaganza Will SY make the "big" move? (We will put aside whether or not the big move is even available) NHL Draft - the drafting of a potential first line center but no Bedard Pistons/NBA Nuggets win the Finals over the Heat New Coach for Pistons - Monty Williams Free Agency - A point completely ignored in free agency - Did Monty want Cam? NBA Draft - Pistons - Ausar Thompson and Marcus Sasser Beginning of Free Agency/Off Season - Joe Harris/Monte Morris More moves Golf - US Open - First - No more EVER of LACC and stick to what you got Second - 30% increase in ratings over 2022 for one - only one - reason only - Adam will explain PGA Tour/LIV bizarreness

We discuss Tigers, Lions (including 2023 NFL Draft), NCAA Basketball Final 8, and Golf - Masters.

Oakland Basketball - Truly a streaky roller coaster Two more Regular season games and then the Conference tourney UM/MSU basketball - UM will be shorter than you thought MSU - NFL/Super Bowl - Mahomes is as good as advertised - winning SB without Tyreek Hill Hurts put in a hell of a performance Burrow let an opportunity slip through his hands Baseball/Tigers Very quiet since last show Spring Training is under way HOF - Scott Rolen gets in - when does Lou get in. Red Wings - Wings are heating up - 3 pts out as of 8 PM on 2.18 Larkin making his case a little more. Pistons - Saddiq Bey has been freed of his Pistons duty Pistons keep Bojan Just replay last five conversations on Pistons 🙂

OU Basketball - Big one with MSU coming up this week. Rinse and repeat compared to past seasons in pre-conference Pistons - Cade Injury Bench and Killian have improved What next from Dwayne/Troy standpoint Wings - Hmmmmm Michigan Football Michigan - Set up as well as they have been in over 20 years to win it all. NFL/Lions Narrative has drastically changed since last broadcast- the day of the Packers Win First trip around NFL for this Pod - Positive/Negative - Chiefs/Bills/Bengals/Eagles(led by Jalen)/Cowboys -Ugh/49ers and more.... Tigers - More negatives than Positives does not excite fans.
