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

On Super Bowl weekend are any of YOU making bets the size of “Mattress Mack’s?” Let alone on the underdog?
GARY MYERS thinks Mack is gonna be right. The highly-respected NFL writer/broadcaster joins us from New York!
Jim Harbaugh and staff land another big recruiting class on national signing day — but with HIM, will it matter?
The Pistons get their (sudden) marching orders: turn that video OFF, boys, and get back to the hotel!
Tom Izzo and the Spartans are back home. Did a “moral victory” start to turn their fortunes around?
The Wings’ fortunes are in the dumper with NHL TV commentators now questioning their effort. Is The Blashill Watch on?
Angels pitching coach Mickey Callaway: GUILTY til proven innocent? Bob asks, “whaddya EXPECT?”
Brandon is aghast that Baby Boomer Bob has no idea who “Stone Cold” Steve Austin is!
Baby Boomer Bob is equally aghast that his Gen Y partner has never heard of Haystacks Calhoun or Dick the Bruiser!
‘Scusin’ me, bloke, WHAT was the score a that bleedin’ football match agayne?!

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

“Write what you know:” the author’s mantra. And few know Detroit and its teams better than author TOM STANTON, our guest!
Matthew Stafford TRADED! You’d expect the feckless Detroit sports media to love the FLs’ Big Deal — and BOB to be a skeptic.
Can’t we please just play the damn game?! Still MORE Super Bowl hype all week for us. Are you Super BORED yet?
In a crazy sports year few things could be crazier than Tom Izzo not making the NCAA Tournament field.
Yet come to think of it, what could be crazier than MICHIGAN supplanting Tom’s MSU program so quickly?!
NCAA basketball is “modern-day slavery,” huh? It isn’t if the “slaves” would only take advantage of a FREE education.
The Wings’ LATEST skid is six games. Brandon McAfee says firing Jeff Blashill wouldn’t make a diff. Bob disagrees.
Yet maybe our young producer is right about this too since Bob seems to be coming around on Bonds and Clemens as HOFers.
Curt Schilling as well? Yes? Just think what this whacko might SAY standing on the podium at Cooperstown!
Denny was off today. Wonder what he’d say about the Brewers hiring an ex-GIRLS SOFTBALL PLAYER as a hitting coach?
Those stories, our necrology featuring a Detroit Tigers boyhood hero, YOUR mailbag and much more — right here!

It’s hard to separate sports from reality.

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

Happy New Year, everybody, as we ALL look ahead with hope for better days to come.
Maybe COVID didn’t hit YOU or yours. Maybe YOU made big $$$ in the market. No matter, good riddance to 2020!
It was a year that perhaps has triggered a major change in Eli’s very life as he’ll explain to you.
Denny actually became LOOPY over Saturday’s Lions’ fiasco, a game SO ridiculous that one die-hard Lions fan even …!
Then listen to Denny become MORE loopy when Eli reads him a quote from Tigers G.M. Al Avila.
HOW many TD’s in ONE GAME?! Our producer Brandon McAfee relates a tale of woe from football’s fantasy leagues.
Tom Gores takes heavy flak from Eli — again — as Denny reveals how HE suffered from Gore’s hand in PRISON!
Remember the NFL’s CHICAGO Cardinals? Yes? The boys do, which means they — and likely YOU — are OLD!
Still another baseball Hall of Famer has died. Denny recalls PHIL NIEKRO and Phil’s late brother Joe. He played with both.
Those stories, Bob has another edition of YOUR mailbag — and much more right here!

It’s Gotten To The Point Where There’s So Much Wrong With This League

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

Top NFL stars droppin’ like proverbial flies with no end in sight! Are YOU losing interest?
And how about ALL those penalties, horrible no-calls and other blown officials’ decisions? Had enough yet?
The FL’s DON’T choke — Michigan State DOES and makes it even worse with so much whining!
Eli says he now is hearing rumblings that Mark Dantonio may hang it up at the end of the season.
Michigan was off Saturday but EASTERN Michigan was ON! What a win for coach Chris Creighton at Illinois! Can EMU keep him?
Chris Ilitch is HAPPY with the “progress” of the Toothless Tigers — despite 100+ losses and being the laughing stock of MLB?!
Shades of Al Avila: looks like Gardy will be back next year — but why a contract extension NOW?
What? Dylan Larkin is NOT going to be the Wings’ captain? Eli thinks he understands the reason.
Those stories, more Denny Tales plus Eli under attack in our Mailbag (!) and much more — right here.

More shenanigans from Airhead Brown as the boys rip him another new one.
We tell you about one of the greatest players in NFL history who’s NOT in the HOF.
And preview this Saturday’s Michigan and Michigan State games.
Eli and Denny have their gambling picks of the weekend — so YOU can bet against them and clean up!
