Episode 211: Denny and The Hammer

Welcome to No Filter Sports Podcast with Bob Page and Denny McLain!
- Super Bowl LV is set: Tom Brady VERSUS — “the greatest quarterback ever?” At least according to Denny!
- Matthew Stafford is OUT as Lions quarterback. Good for MATT! But what now? Is SHEILA really gonna make the call?!
- Who better to comment on the death of the great HANK AARON than a former Braves teammate named DENNY McLAIN?
- But Denny reveals a shocker from that era when asked if he and Hank ever had a few pops together out on the town.
- Are the Wings dead — already?! They sure played dead in Chicago over the weekend.
- Sunday’s loss saw the debut of ex-coach Mike Babcock in-studio on NBC Sports. Bob rips NBC’s Empty Suits a new one!
- Sure was great to see the storied Wings-Black Hawks rivalry renew. Wait’ll ya hear THIS story about Stu vs. Probie!
- U-M basketball WAS rolling but now has to sit down for TWO WEEKS — a victim of its OWN administration.
- C.Y.A. (“Cover Your Ass”) may be a military term, but it sure looks like Jim Harbaugh is buying into it.
- The Tigers’ Al Avila keeps buying into his own, as Bob puts it, “Bum of the Month Club.”
- Mercy, mercy, ME — still another black eye for a once-proud athletic department which USED to be just “The U-D!”
- In YOUR mailbag segment, a listener turns the tables on Denny: “So, did YOU ‘ever think about coaching?'”
- Those stories, Brandon on The Big Fight, Mr. McLain back on the appearance circuit — and much more right here!
Episode 111: Winners and Losers From the SB? WE Start With Denny!

Nice weekend Denny!
It’s the latest No Filter Sports Podcast with Eli Zaret, Denny McLain and Bob Page!
- WHAT?! Denny didn’t watch the Super Bowl?! Well, at least he LISTENED to it — so he joins our big wrap-up anyway.
- And what SB wrap-up would be complete without discussing the commercials AND the PG-13 halftime show?
- The Pro Football HOF announced its five new members over the weekend. What about the guys who did NOT make it?
- And here Bob was relieved because football was FINALLY over? Denny and Eli say, “guess again!”
- Michigan State basketball goes down to an average team it should have beaten. Was ONE player responsible?
- Michigan gets an important win WITH Zavier back. Why was he suspended? Don’t ask the feckless Detroit sports media.
- So you’re unhappy playing for Juwan? Why not jump to Izzo instead — and be in the lineup the very next season?!
- The Pathetic Pistons pissing off their own coach now — and let’s be real about Sunday’s win over Denver.
- Ex-Tiger fan-favorite/great-guy Curtis Granderson calls it a career — probably two years too late.
- And how would another ex-Tiger fan favorite have fared in the current era of baseball? Don’t make Denny laugh!
- THAT story’s in YOUR Mailbag segment, PLUS criticism of our Kobe coverage and much more right here.
