The Knee Jerks - Eno and Big Al - Bradley, Tatar, Fulmer and Megatron

Approyo

Long-time Detroit sports bloggers and podcasters, Greg Eno (aka the man who knows a lot of things about a lot of things), and Big Al Beaton are The Knee Jerks! You can now listen to the Knee Jerks on Stitcher, along with iTunes and Blog Talk Radio. No guest this week. It's all Knee Jerks all the time, Greg and Big Al talking all things Detroit sports. Topics include: Stan Van Gundy and the Detroit Pistons moved on from Kentavious Caldwell-Pope, acquiring All-NBA defender Avery Bradley from the Celtics as his replacement. But the team's fortunes still rest on the shoulders (and free throw shooting) of Andre Drummond. Thanks to Ken Holland's salary cap mismanagement, Tomas Tatar and the Detroit Red Wings appear headed to arbitration after acrimonious contract negotiations Though Detroit Tigers’ GM Al Avila has shown no interest (so far) in dealing staff ace Michael Fulmer, MLB teams continue to inquire about obtaining the 24-year-old instead of Justin Verlander. For some reason, possibly stupidity, many in the Detroit media think trading Fulmer is a good idea. A retired Calvin Johnson threw the Detroit Lions under the bus again, saying the team “wasn’t worth my time.” Johnson apparently forgot that he collected some very handsome paychecks from that same team while not speaking up about whatever issues he may have had. As always, Eno and Big Al also play The Birthday Game and name their Jerk of the Week!
