He’s a basketball motivational evangelist.

A contract extension for Al Avila? Why on earth NOW?! Bob wonders if Chris Ilitch is fit to run the Detroit Tigers.
Miggy, Gardy, now Nick (and Cowboy West?!): Everybody’s upset these days as even opponent broadcast crews laugh at the Tigers’ mess.
MLB hits the all-star break with more controversy: a BIG home plate collision leads Denny on a rant and Bob to make a suggestion.
Yep, sure is great that the U.S. women won the World Cup Soccer Tourney, but Eli begs for some perspective — please!
And NFL labor negotiations are on tap throughout July. Is a strike or a lockout inevitable next year? Maybe not.

It’s the latest No Filter Sports Podcast with Eli Zaret, Denny McLain and Bob Page.

Moritz Seider?! “In Stevie Y We Trust.” But Bob pounds the table: you don’t draft him THERE!
Could Yzerman someday become the next Dumars? Eli tells tales of how Joe D managed himself right outta town.
“The Vulture” is back at 82! But if he teaches the Mets pitchers what he once taught Denny, he won’t be “back” for long!
The locker room of the frustrated Mets blows up! Why not the pathetic Tigers’ yet? Stay tuned.
Of course, WITH JV and JD the Tigers would be anything BUT “pathetic.” Verlander rolls on!
And Pujols gets a huge welcome in St. Louis, proving that there must indeed be “better living through chemistry.”

Koepka is the only one besides Palmer, Nicklaus and Woods to have one four majors in a two-year span.

Welcome to No Filter Sports Podcast with Eli Zaret, Denny McLain and Bob Page!

Brooks Koepka — the NEW Tiger!!! “Bull-bleep he is,” say the boys!
By week’s end Michigan could have its new basketball coach. Fab-Fiver Jimmy King joins us with his thoughts.
Denny wonders, if the Tigers now have a “quality control coach,” then where the hell is the “quality?!”
Are the boys Democrats, Republicans or something else? YOU’LL never know — though a couple miffed listeners think THEY do.
Too good for the Clips, Rockets, Blazers — too good for anybody, especially thanks to Draymond. Kevin Durant who?
The NHL playoffs? As usual, Eli and Denny plead ignorance while Bob wants Larkin and Mantha home for the Worlds — NOW.

93-year old Mrs. Ford and her two daughters were in the FL’s war room! Did they (gulp) call any of the shots?!
Knock, knock. “Who’s there?” “A guy.” “A guy WHO?” A guy who demands to see Denny right now during the show!
Eli deservedly unhappy that he wasn’t interviewed for a new doc on the ’84 Tigers.
Just par for the course with the (mostly) lame Detroit sports media? Bob blows up on that subject — again.
Why all the strikeouts in MLB, Eli with a baseball rules check, thumbs up on Draymond, down on Babs — and much more right here.
