    The Knee Jerks Podcast - January 26 2026

    Detroit sports podcasters Greg Eno, Big Al Beaton, and Nick Milanovich are The Knee Jerks! Today's episode is heavy on hoops! We discuss all things  Detroit Pistons and NBA, as we welcome back one of our favorite guests, NBA stats guru Siddy Hall. Siddy has plenty to say about the #1 seeded team in the Eastern Conference.  We planned on a longer appearance from Ray Scott, former player and head coach for the Pistons. But technical difficulties cut it short. We will definitely get Coach back on the show.  We also discuss the Detroit Lions hiring both a new offensive coordinator in former Cardinals OC Drew Petzing and the Giants' interim head coach Matt Kafka as high ranking offensive assistant.   As always, we play Greg's Birthday game and name our respective Jerk of the Week!

    The Knee Jerks Podcast - January 12 2026

    Detroit sports podcasters Greg Eno, Big Al Beaton, and Nick Milanovich are The Knee Jerks! This week, our topics include: The Detroit Lions ended their disappointing season by knocking off the Bears via a walk-off FG 19-16.  On Black Monday, the Lions fired OC John Morton. Recently fired Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel is one of the candidates the Lions are interested in interviewing for the opening. DC Kelvin Sheppard is expected to keep his position. When asked to grade his own performance, MCDC gave himself a "freaking F." GM Brad Holmes went with "fail." The Detroit Pistons enter the week at 28-10, holding a 3.5 game lead over the Knicks for the top seed in the East.  In what was their most impressive win of the season, the Pistons destroyed the Knicks 121-90 in a nationally televised playoff rematch. The Pistons are also battling the injury bug again. Cunningham, Duren, Harris, and Stewart sat out a 98-92 loss to the Clippers. The Detroit Red Wings have finally retired the #91 of Hall of Fame forward Sergei Fedorov. The Wings continue to hold onto first place in the Atlantic (2nd overall in the East) at 27-15-4 and 58 points. They are 7-2-1 in their last ten and have improved their goal differential to +3. The Wings are riding the back of red-hot G John Gibson, who is 12-2-0, 2.01 GA, 0.932 SV% since the start of December. He's essentially become a brick wall.   Named to their respective Olympic teams were Dylan Larkin (USA), Lucas Raymond (SWE), and Moritz Seider (GER). The NHL regular season will pause from February 6-24.   The Detroit Tigers and 2-time Cy Young winner Tarik Skubal are in an arbitration battle. The Tigers have offered a $19 million contract, while Skubal countered with $32 million. We also play Greg's Birthday game and name our respective Jerk of the Week!

    The Knee Jerks Podcast - December 29 2025

    Detroit sports podcasters Greg Eno, Big Al Beaton, and Nick Milanovich are The Knee Jerks! This week, our topics include: After two weeks of Sherrone Moore driven embarrassment and coaching search drama, the University of Michigan fell ass backwards into a quality coaching hire. Former Utah head football coach Kyle Whittingham is the new man running the Wolverines.  The Detroit Lions quite possibly played their worst game of the Dan Campbell era in a 23-10 Christmas Day loss to the Minnesota Vikings. The loss ended the Lions' postseason hopes and exposed several issues that will need to be addressed in the offseason. The Detroit Pistons are currently playing one of their toughest stretches of the season -  8 road games (including a West Coast swing of 5 games in 8 days) in a 10-game stretch. Despite the difficult schedule, the Pistons remain at the top of the East with a 24-8 record, holding a 1.5-game advantage over the NY Knicks.  We also play Greg's Birthday game and name our respective Jerk of the Week!

    The Knee Jerks Podcast - December 15 2025

    Detroit sports podcasters Greg Eno, Big Al Beaton and Nick Milanovich are The Knee Jerks! This week, our topics include: Insanity in Ann Arbor! The Wolverines fired head coach Sherrone Moore with cause. The cause? He was a married man getting it on with his assistant in the athletic department. After getting the ziggy, a reportedly already unstable Moore had a mental break, entering the home of his mistress and threatening suicide. He now faces charges of stalking, breaking, and entering and felony home invasion.   One of the best jobs in college football is in flux, with very few legitimate candidates available. Meanwhile, AD Warde Manuel is also being investigated, as Michigan continues to make headlines for all the wrong reasons.  The Detroit Lions lost to the LA Rams 41-34. At 8-6, they must win out to make the playoffs, and either the Bears or Packers will need to go 1-2 to end the season. Much like last season, a defense decimated by injury has left the offense no margin for error. 25 games into the season, the Detroit Pistons lead the East with a 20-5 record, leading the NY Knicks by 2.5 games. The only other team with 20 wins is the 24-1 OKC Thunder. The Pistons' most recent game was their best of the season, a 142-115 curb-stomping of the Atlanta Hawks. No player reached 25 minutes of playing time, no player took more than 10 shots, and all 13 players who saw the floor scored for the Pistons. The surprising Detroit Red Wings are 18-12-2, coming off an excellent 4-2 West Coast swing. Their 39 points leave them tied with the TB Lightning for first place in the Atlantic.  But a very large red flag is their top-heavy lineup and their -5 goal differential. It was reported that the Wings made an offer for Norris Trophy-winning defenseman (who played locally in the USNTDP and at Michigan) and pending free agent Quinn Hughes, only to be outbid by the Minnesota Wild. The Detroit Tigers concentrated on their bullpen during the winter meetings. They first re-signed Kyle Finnegan, who agreed to a two-year deal. They then added veteran closer Kenley Jansen, who inked a one-year contract for 2026 with a club option for 2027. As for the elephant in the room named Tarik Skubal? Who knows, other than it's looking as if the Tigers will allow him to walk in free agency.  We also play Greg's Birthday game and name our respective Jerk of the Week! ubscribe to The Knee Jerks Podcast on Apple Podcasts, YouTube Music Podcasts, Spotify, Amazon Music, iHeart Radio, Deezer, Radio Public, Gaana.

    The Knee Jerks Podcast - December 1, 2025

    Detroit sports podcasters Greg Eno, Big Al Beaton and Nick Milanovich are The Knee Jerks! Al is snowbound, as Michiganders say, up north, so today's show will be shorter, and the audio version will be bare-bones. This week, we'll discuss the Thanksgiving week from Hell that was Detroit sports. including: The rash of fake death notices posted online, the latest being Hall of Fame CB Lem Barney. The Lions losing to the Packers as their playoff chances took a big hit. The Pistons' 13 game win streak came to an end. Also, the Red Wings lost 4 straight, Ohio St compellingly beat Michigan, and MSU fired their head football coach, replacing him with a very questionable hire in Pat Fitzgerald.

    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.  You can find Chris at the following links: Live with CDP Weekly Sports & Entertainment Talk Show.  https://beacons.ai/chrisdpomay https://www.youtube.com/@chrispomaylivewithcdpsport5517/streams https://www.instagram.com/chrispomay/ https://www.threads.net/@chrispomay https://www.linkedin.com/in/chris-pomay-34026974/ https://www.cameo.com/chrispomay 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.  Subscribe to The Knee Jerks Podcast on Apple Podcasts, YouTube Music Podcasts, Spotify, Amazon Music, iHeart Radio, Deezer, Radio Public, Gaana.

    The Knee Jerks Podcast - October 8 2025

    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.
