The Knee Jerks Podcast - October 21 2025

Detroit sports podcasters Greg Eno, Big Al Beaton and Nick Milanovich are The Knee Jerks! Al is still in the Michigan wilderness, so today's show will be shorter, and the audio version will be bare bones.

Greg is on vacation this week. But not to worry, we have a replacement! Wally Pipping Eno is Chris Pomay. Chris is a Canadian podcaster, host of the Chris Pomay with CDP Talk Show.

We'll touch on several topics, including:

The Lions bounced back from a tough vs the Chiefs (filled with controversial ref shenanigans) with a 24-9 victory over the Bucs on Monday Night Football.  The win was all the more impressive thanks to The Legion of Whom, aka a defensive backfield led by career backups and recent waiver wire pickups. After facing the 5th toughest schedule in the NFL to date, the Lions enter the bye week at 5-2. 

In 15 excruciating innings, the longest post season game in MLB history, the Tigers lost to the Mariners in game 5 of the ALDS, ending their season. A few days later, POBO Scott Harris announced AJ Hinch received a long rumored contract extension during his end of the season presser.

The Mariners remain the only team to have never reached a World Series, losing to the Blue Jays in game 7 of the ALCS, Thus, we have a  Jays - Dodgers World Series. The Dodgers are led by Shohei Ohtani, who may have had the greatest game ever in game 4 of the NLCS - 6 IP, 10 K, 3-3 with 3 HR.

Thanks to knee surgery, the Pistons lost Jaden Ivey for at least 4 weeks on the eve of the NBA regular season. Media reports also claim the franchise will not offer extensions to Ivey or Jalen Duren, which will make them restricted free agents after this season.

The Red Wings are off to a surprisingly good start at 5-1, the best record in the East. This is even more surprising after their AWFUL opening night loss to the Habs. And, of course, they followed up that loss by sweeping a home and home with the Maple Leafs.
