Episode 174: Doug English: a True LION on the Field

One of the league’s true warriors.
It’s the latest No Filter Sports Podcast with Eli Zaret, Denny McLain, and Bob Page!
- He didn’t win a Super Bowl. No Detroit Lion ever has (or will?), but guest DOUG ENGLISH remains one of the most popular players in team history.
- It’s opening week in the NFL. Coaches upset over no fans at their home games, the threat of BLM and National Anthem protests. What a kerfuffle already!
- Oh, and Bob wonders what the league will do if/WHEN a player tests positive for COVID-19. Would they panic and cancel a game on a Sunday morning?!
- Few teams have the long tradition of the Detroit Tigers. So when they set a new low for futility at Milwaukee THAT was really saying something!
- Now what to do with struggling Matthew Boyd? Denny: TRADE HIM. But why wouldn’t the Tigers call Denny — or Lolich or Tanana — to at least pick their brains?
- Eli says the quality of the NBA Playoffs has been stellar, but Bob is among the pissed-off millions who haven’t watched a single game yet.
- As if the NBA needed MORE controversy, the Stephen A. Smiths of the world cry (surprise!) “WHITE PRIVILEGE” over Steve Nash’s hiring.
- The NHL Playoffs have been excellent too — for those few outside Dallas and Las Vegas who find the Stars vs the Knights in summertime compelling.
- Eli has “This Day in Sports History,” Bob’s got YOUR mailbag segment — and much more right here!
Episode 144: From the Ol’ Farm — to Scoring a Super Bowl TD!

The only Lion of that era to win a Super Bowl!
It’s the latest No Filter Sports Podcast with Eli Zaret, Denny McLain, and Bob Page!
- Our guest is the bruising fullback, TOM NOWATZKE, on his 1960’s Lions, Colts teammate Johnny U and MUCH MORE!
- While pro sports leagues FIGHT during negotiations on when and how to start playing again, Eli and Bob repeat: go away til 2021.
- No sports? No games to gamble on, no casinos to gamble IN! One way or another the city of Detroit may pay an awful price.
- No football? Not only does Dolphins owner Stephen Ross say we WILL have an NFL season but he has unusual plans for his stadium.
- Bob asks why Jim Harbaugh seemed so thrilled to recruit only a good, not great, player this week. Is it THAT bad in Ann Arbor now?
- VERY different opinions among the boys over golf and last Sunday’s “The Match.” If you watched it, you were NOT alone.
- The Michigan House has passed a bill allowing college athletes to make extra money on the side — and Eli’s apoplectic!
- From Denny: the legendary overseas boxing match he actually went to! And does his ex-catcher Jim Price really HATE him?!
- The latter question comes from YOUR mailbag segment. We’ll have that and many other top stories right here!
Episode 93: Count Dennis Franklin Among UNHAPPY M Grads!

It’s never gonna go away.
It’s the latest No Filter Sports Podcast with Eli Zaret, Denny McLain, and Bob Page.
- ANOTHER humiliating Ohio State beatdown of Michigan! Ex-star QB Dennis Franklin discusses that and MORE with us!
- Denny has an, uh, interesting explanation for OSU’s dominance. Eli and Bob strongly disagree!
- Did Bob overreact in saying (yelling!) that what happened Saturday was a “disgrace?” Eli thinks so.
- Yippee! Michigan State is now “bowl eligible” after fans deserted the sunken ship for Saturday’s win.
- But better things should be ahead for MSU basketball as a battle with Duke looms.
- And what a job by U-M in winning a holiday tourney in the Bahamas! Now it’s #1 Louisville — on the ROAD.
- Denny rips the Tigers’ coaching staff collective new ones on a subject he knows a LOT about!
- Did the hockey world overreact to Calgary’s firing of ex-Wings’ assistant Bill Peters?
- The FL’s made fools of themselves again on Thanksgiving. Who is the QB now? Bob asks, “Why not Kaepernick?!”
- PLUS, MNF starring IMUS and McLAIN (?!), YOUR mailbag, Eli and Denny wage WAR against studio invaders and more!
Episode 63: What DOESN’T Ex-QB Scott Mitchell Have a Great Take On?!

He’s Smarter Than Most NFL Coaches.
It’s the latest No Filter Sports Podcast with Eli Zaret, Denny McLain and Bob Page.
- Former NFL quarterback Scott Mitchell has so many interesting things to say on the show that we can’t even highlight just one or two!
- A common-sense solution to Brady and AB clashing with the NFL over their helmets? The league SHOULD have looked to the NHL.
- Giants and former FL’s wideout Golden Tate to sue over being suspended 4 games? For taking a fertility drug?
- Who says the “arrogant asses” are just SOME Michigan grads? Once AGAIN, THE Ohio State University bests the Wolverines!
- Stealing signs — in the Little League World Series?! Denny’s REALLY on his soapbox about THIS one!
- You say you’re sick and tired of the Toothless Tigers? We are too, so we’ll TRY not to talk TOO much about them.
- From our always-full mailbag: Mickey Lolich a GUEST on our show? Denny & Eli do some ‘splainin’.
