Show Notes

The Knee Jerks began as a popular weekly chat feature between a pair of long running Detroit sports blogs, The Wayne Fontes Experience (WayneFontes.com) and Out of Bounds (GregEno.com). The web chat morphed into an every Monday night podcast. Your hosts are layabout blogger Big Al Beaton of TWFE, aka Mr. Blogger, and prolific freelance writer Greg Eno of OoB, aka Mr. Journalist. We cover the gamut of the sports landscape, but with a Detroit slant and a Detroit attitude.

    The Knee Jerks - Detroit Sports Talk with Eno and Big Al - Eno & Al fill in

    On tonight's show: We have a change in the schedule, as the Karras camp had to cancel Alex's appearance. So, barring our finding a last minute guest, the Knee Jerks will get to their usual jerkitude right from the start of the show, talking the latest in Detroit sports. Detroit Tigers - Carlos Guillen went to the media to bitch about his playing time, and Jim Leyland capitulated, naming him the starting LF for 2010. Detroit Lions - Are coming off a bye week with the injury status of their 2 most important players, Matthew Stafford and Calvin Johnson, still up in the air. Detroit Red Wings - Long-time Red Wings exec Jimmy Devellano has been quoted saying the Wings' fanbase should lower their expectations for this season.

    The Knee Jerks - Detroit Sports Talk with Eno and Big Al - Bob Page Returns!

    On tonight's show: We bring back one of our most popular and entertaining guests, Detroit's favorite son who made good in NYC, Bob Page! The ever opinionated Page last joined us back in June, in what was one of The Knee Jerks' most listened to episodes. Bob has a passion for college football, so you can expect plenty of talk about the Spartans and Wolverines, along with whatever else is on the long-time broadcaster's mind. After spending time with Bob, we'll discuss the Lions taking a big step backward while getting shut out by a not very good Packers team. We'll also touch on the Red Wings, including their latest late game collapse, a weekend OT loss to the dreaded Avalanche. We'll have some college football talk as well, specifically why the University of Michigan bothered to schedule D-II Delaware St, in what turned out to be little more than a varsity vs. JV scrimmage. We'll also name our respective Jerk of the Week! Be here at 11PM every Monday night for the latest and greatest in sports talk...sports talk with a Detroit attitude!

Sherrod Blakely, whose writing can be found at mlive.com/pistons/. We'll discuss with A. Sherrod the newest Pistons, free agent signees Ben Gordon, Charlie Villanueva and Chris Wilcox and draft picks Austin Daye, DaJuan Summers, and Jonas Jerebko. How they'll fit in with what's left of veteran core is something all Pistons fans are wondering. We'll also ask for A. Sherrod's take on the influence of the internet on the NBA and his coverage of it, from Twitter to blogs. After our NBA talk-fest, we'll have out usual takes on Detroit sports. Expect us to vent our spleens regarding the Tigers' epic loss to the Twins in the one game playoff, panic over the Red Wings losing power forward Johan Franzen for at least 4 months thanks to a torn ACL and debate if the Lions going down to the Steelers could be considered a "good" loss.

    The Knee Jerks - Detroit Sports Talk with Eno and Big Al - Marvin Hagler Jr

Marvin Jr. is set to step into the ring as he makes his Celebrity Boxing debut October 10 in Philadelphia. This bout is part of preparations for his big Celebrity Boxing match with Sugar Ray Leonard Jr. in February. Once we talk boxing and growing up with a famous farther with Hagler, we'll turn our thoughts to the past week of the Detroit Tigers. Obviously, the one game playoff in Minnesota's Baggiedome and the Miguel Cabrera "incident" will be prime topics. Also on tap for discussion are the Detroit Lions, and their one game losing streak, the in-state rivalary between MSU and Michigan, won by the Sparties and Eno and I try to figure out just what happened to the Red Wings in Sweden.
