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...

The Knee Jerks Podcast - Eno, Nick and Big Al
Detroit sports podcasters Greg Eno, Big Al Beaton and Nick Milanovich are The Knee Jerks! Unfortunately, we had to reschedule our special guest, Bob Page. Bob will return to the show very, very soon.

The Knee Jerks Podcast - Eno, Nick and Big Al
Detroit sports podcasters Greg Eno, Big Al Beaton and Nick Milanovich are The Knee Jerks! This week we discuss all things Detroit sports. Topics include: The 11-1 Detroit Lions have won 10 consecutive games despite their defense being ravaged by injury. But the Vikings, Eagles and Packers are nipping at the Lions' heels, as all refuse to lose. The Lions finally ended their Thanksgiving losing steak, much helped by coaching malpractice and clock butchery committed by the now fired Bears HC Matt Eberflus. Jameson Williams continues to do Jamo things, both good and bad. Unranked 6-5 Michigan...

The Knee Jerks Podcast with Eno Nick and Big Al - September 23 2024
The Knee Jerks Podcast - Eno, Nick and Big Al
Detroit sports podcasters Greg Eno, Big Al Beaton and Nick Milanovich are The Knee Jerks! This week's topics include: The Detroit Tigers historic late season run has them on the verge of making the playoffs, which was a pipe dream 6 weeks ago. The Tigers' bullpen has been lights out, but lacks an arm that misses bats. To fix that, top pitching prospect Jackson Jobe (MLBs #6 overall prospect who posted 9.9 K/9 at AA Erie) has been called up to pitch out of the pen. Detroit Lions head coach Dan Campbell sells his home due to harassment from idiot fans. The Lions beat the Arizona Cardinals 20-13...

If you are a fan of the National Champion Michigan Wolverines and playoff winning Detroit Lions, this past week featured the best football of your lifetime. So lets talk about it!
Upcoming guests: January 30 will be a two for the price of one episode. One of our favorite guests, Eastern Michigan head football coach Chris Creighton, will join us to talk Eagles and MACtion. Our NBA stats guru Siddy Hall will also return on the 30 to discuss all things Detroit Pistons. That should be FUN.
This weeks topics include:
The Detroit Lions beat the LA Rams in the NFL Wild Card round, winning their first playoff game since January 1992.
The victory over the Rams featured so many story lines, it was just as much a soap opera as a football game.
Matthew Stafford is no longer our QB1. The fans at Ford Field realized that, treating Stafford as the enemy and embracing Jared Goff.
The win will go down in Detroit lore as the "Jared Goff Revenge Game."
The bonkers Detroit crowd made for a legitimate home field advantage, forcing the Rams to use 2 time outs early in the 2nd half, time outs they sorely missed late in the game.
Like other WR1's they have recently faced, the Lions' defense couldn't stop Puka Natua. But the bend but don't break defense stiffened in the red zone, forcing 3 Rams field goals. That was the difference in the game.
Dan Campbell badly outcoached Sean McVay. The game ended with the Lions able to run out the last 4 minutes on the clock with 2 first downs.
Up next? A second home playoff game! Thanks to the Packers curb stomping the Cowboys, the Lions will play the Bucs at home next Sunday.
What the Hell is going in Seattle? Why fire Pete Carroll?
This season was national tile or bust for the Wolverines. Mission accomplished for Jim Harbaugh and this core group of players.
What's next for the ever mercurial Harbaugh? The NFL? Back to Michigan?
Should Sherrone Moore inherit the Michigan job if Harbuagh heads back to the shield?
Nick Saban retired, which was shocking...until you realized all the signs were there. The coaching dominoes quickly fell across the country.
We also play Greg's Birthday Game and name our respective Jerk of the Week!
