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

The Baseball Hall of Fame has elected NOBODY this year. SHOULD they have?
TOM GAGE, in the writers wing of the Hall himself, is a long-time voter and, boy, does he have a LOT to say to us!
Bob wonders if you were thinking what he was last Sunday: did Belichick actually WANT Brady to win?
How much “justice” can you afford? Brady’s former boss can afford a LOT, as it’s turned out!
Producer Brandon McAfee has an interesting suggestion for the Lions in their quest to deal Matt Stafford.
Remember that guy, Tom Izzo? Seems like AGES since he and his MSU basketball team have played.
Yet the NBA is having even more COVID issues than Michigan State did AND that Michigan basketball now has.
Don’t be a smart-aleck! The Pathetic Pistons are NOT gonna halt their season. Who would ASK to play for THEM?
Denny: “If there’s a lotta fish on the table somebody’s gonna start eating ’em.” HUH?! He, um, DOES explain.
What’s this — Al Avila with a smart free-agent signing? The boys all agree on something — for once.
Those stories, answers to questions you may now have about this show in YOUR mailbag and more — right here!

I think he regrets not taking that job.

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

Eli’s on vacation so veteran sportscaster FRED HEUMANN joins us with some big opinions and stories!
Casey Mize makes his LONG-awaited MLB debut! MOST of us thought he did well. NOT Denny!
Al Avila says on a Friday that Mize and the other kids are NOT ready. By MONDAY they ARE?! Bob thinks he knows why.
Thom Brennaman commits the ultimate TV/radio sin: not so much WHAT he said, it’s the cardinal rule he FORGOT!
Fernando Tatis Jr. hits a grand slam on a 3-0 count with his team up by SEVEN in the 8th inning — and the feces hits the fan!
The NFL is now considering a postseason “bubble” which has worked for the NBA and NHL.
Most of COLLEGE football is not going to play at all. Players, parents and one prominent medical expert are VERY unhappy.
A potentially GREAT Michigan O-lineman has already seen enough. HE’S heading to the pros!
One of the legal world’s greatest truisms: how much “justice” can you afford? In Robert Kraft’s case, a LOT!
Those stories, “This Day in Sports” — just for Denny McLain, YOUR mailbag 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.

A special thanks to our servicemen and women on Veterans Day. How did Eli, Denny & Bob never serve, btw?
Former MSU and Lions wideout Charles Rogers is dead at 38! Shocked — but not really surprised? Us too.
Ya know, the FL’s coulda won that game at Chicago. In fact, they SHOULDA won it and they WOULDA won it … (yawn)
Ohio State All-American Chase Young suspended by the NCAA — excuse us, for WHAT?!
Grapes’ Wrath (ouch) has him in hot water on Hockey Night in Canada. Is the end approaching now?
Looks like the end of the Wings’ sad season may have been given a reprieve thanks to the latest Stevie Y deal.
Quick now! What major sports event was played Sunday? All three of the boys whiffed on this one!
More controversy in the Terrible Tigers’ front office. Is Al Avila at fault for THIS as well?
