  • The Knee Jerks Podcast - Pistons and NBA playoff preview with Siddy Hall
    2025/04/08
    Detroit sports podcasters Greg Eno, Big Al Beaton and Nick Milanovich are The Knee Jerks! With the Detroit Pistons having clinched (at worst) the sixth playoff seed in the Eastern Conference, we think it's a great time to preview the playoffs with our favorite NBA stats guru, Siddy Hall. We also talk ethical hoopers vs foul merchants, who wins the league MVP and coach of the year, and Siddy has another Pistons quiz! In the second half of the show, we dive into the latest in Detroit sports. Topics include: Detroit Tigers assistant GM Sam Menzin resigned last week to "spend more time with family." But that was BS. This week The Athletic reported Menzin quit before he was fired, as he was channeling his inner Bret Favre by sending unsolicited lewd pictures to female Tigers employees. And doing so since 2017! On the field, the Tigers bounced back from a sweep by the LA Dodgers to win their series against the Mariners and White Sox, Positive surprises to start the season include Spencer Torkelson, Casey Mize and Javy Baez, who has willingly accepted a platoon/super utility role. Torpedo bats are the latest silly rule controversy. The Pirates insult their fans by replacing a Roberto Clemente logo in right field with a beer ad. Vlad Guerrero Jr inked a 14 year, $500 million extension with the Blue Jays. That contract is going to look horrible when it hits the back half. Alex Ovechkin passed Wayne Gretsky as the NHL's top goal scorer with 895. Ovechkin still has a way to go to catch Gordie Howe's overall profession record, which includes his years in the WHL. But is Ovechkin's accomplishment more impressive, being the WHL was clearly a lower tier league? We also play Greg's Birthday game and name our respective Jerk of the Week! Programming note: Al will be on the road for the next few weeks, so our next podcast will go live on May 5.

  • The Knee Jerks Podcast - EMU head football coach Chris Creighton
    2025/03/25
    Detroit sports podcasters Greg Eno, Big Al Beaton and Nick Milanovich are The Knee Jerks! This week Eastern Michigan University Eagles head football coach Chris Creighton joins the show to discuss all things EMU and MAC football. Coach talks about building his team for the 2025 season, spring practice and the spring game, and how college football has changed in the era of the transfer portal and NIL. In the second half of the show, we run the gamut of Detroit sports. Topics include: Shaq embarrassed himself by showing just how little he knows or cares about the best story in the NBA, the Detroit Pistons. His cavalier attitude wouldn't fly from as comparable NFL, MLB, or NHL analyst. But in the NBA, ignorance is damn near expected from their most influential talking heads. JB Bickerstaff went HAM on NBA refereeing after a close Pistons loss to the OKC Thunder. The Michigan Wolverines and MSU Spartans advanced to the Sweet Sixteen of the NCAA Tournament. The tournament became beloved (and made the NCAA wealthy) thanks to underdog Cinderella teams making deep runs. But this year, only power conference (SEC, B1G, Big 12, ACC) schools made it out of the first weekend. In the era of NIL, will this be the new normal? Will this bode ill for the future of the NCAAs? The Detroit Tigers signed OF Manuel Margot to help plug their Parker Meadows-sized hole in center. Kirk Gibson announced he's stepping away from the Tigers TV booth to concentrate on fighting Parkinson's. Meanwhile, Matt Shepard, the long-ago fired play-by-play man, claimed it wasn't Gibson's call and he was forced out. The Detroit Lions spent most of free agency bringing the band back together, only making a couple of notable signings in CB DJDJ Reed and NT Roy Lopez. Going by past actions, Lions' GM Brad Holmes will likely attack the lack of a pass rush and an aging offensive line in the draft. Holmes has more than earned the benefit of the doubt. We also play Greg's Birthday game and name our respective Jerk of the Week! Programming notes: The audio version of this podcast is the unedited raw feed as Al is up north in Traverse City working with limited bandwidth. Our next episodes will be on April 7 and May 5. We will not be episode on April 21 as Al will be on the road.

  • The Knee Jerks Podcast - F Ben Johnson
    2025/03/11
    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!
