February 3, 2020 01:12:51

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.

In A Violent Game, Spielman Stood Out as One of the Fiercest

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

With The Super Bowl almost here, ex-Ohio State and Lions star Chris Spielman is our guest on the show!
BOB, at least, remains in shock following the death of Kobe Bryant. Eli and Denny? Slightly different story.
A longtime private pilot, Denny takes us through what may have happened with the doomed helicopter.
Did you know Kobe was almost a Piston? We explain — while Eli says the current Pistons need to start tanking NOW!
MSU basketball stock? UP, despite a tough loss at Indiana. Michigan’s? DOWN. Eli’s pessimistic. Bob is NOT.
Castellanos signs a big free-agent deal with Cincy. And YOU thought the Tigers smart enough to bring Nick back?!
Yes, the SB is indeed finally upon us. Excited? Or have you had WAY too much football at this point?
HUH? ANOTHER SB was played this past weekend? We explain why it was kinda like the blind leading the blind!
Zion Williamson getting unusual medical treatment from the Pelicans. Eli has those details.
Simona WHO? Is she one of those “big girls” who DO cry? Meanwhile, Tiger is back. What does it mean for golf?
And 2019 MIGHT not have been the worst year for Detroit sports after all. THAT’S in YOUR mailbag plus more right here.

You never lose a nickname!

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

FUNNY guy, GREAT personality! Tom Paciorek shoulda been a media star after his MLB career! Wait. He WAS! And he’s our GUEST!
A special thanks from Denny to YOU and to so many others for the condolences pouring in over Sharon’s passing.
Sweet Lou failed again with HOF Vets Committee voters. An injustice? Did his personality cost him?
Ted Simmons and Marvin Miller DID get in but Bob attacks Miller for MLB’s money INSANITY. Eli and Denny attack Bob BACK!
And those two big bullies ALSO air it out with poor Bob on Ken Harrelson, who MAY be about to go in!
The boys are NOT getting along! Eli gets BIG pushback from Bob: won’t he PLEASE stop talking so much about the FL’s?!
And Mr. Z recaps, uh, some kind of heavyweight title fight this weekend. Quick now! Name ANY current champ you can!
It’s U-M (gulp!) vs Alabama in ONE bowl game and MSU (gulp!) vs Wake Forest and its hi-powered offense in another.
Eli takes us on a (comical) tour of some of the VERY BIG bowl games on the slate for lucky US.
PLUS, a WOMAN head coach in the NBA(?!), M and MSU basketball, YOUR comments in the mailbag and more right here!
