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!

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!

They were starting to mention guys already…

Welcome to No Filter Sports Podcast with “The Original Three:” Eli Zaret, Denny McLain and Bob Page!

As a young Johnny Carson asked on his 1950’s TV show every week: “Who Do You Trust?” SURELY not Sheila and Rod?!
Whom WILL the duo hire as new Lions general manager? Former star wideout Herman Moore pounds the table for an ex-teammate.
Too late to make our show taping today: Michigan football “paused” due to COVID-19! Frankly, it couldn’t have come at a better time.
While Penn State provided the LATEST embarrassment for U-M, MSU is riding high — at least until (gulp!) the Bucks hit town this week.
And Ohio State NEEDS to play this game in the midst of a veritable SEA of nationwide COVID cancellations.
Golf wackos Eli and Denny, of COURSE, watched the Phil/Steph/Peyton/Barkley extravaganza, but non-wacko Bob has a question about Sir Charles.
WHAT “wackos” watched Saturday night’s Mike Tyson-Roy Jones abomination? WE’VE got TWO of ’em right here on the show!
Tom Izzo and Coach K ready to rumble again! IF MSU is as AWESOME as it was against Notre Dame Saturday who can beat them?
The Pistons make an announcement that would have been UNTHINKABLE anywhere in sports just a few years ago.
Eli fears his “This Day in Sports” is hitting a wall. Bob has YOUR mailbag — and we’ve got much more right here!

These Kids Don’t Know How To Play The Game

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

Oh, the homers, the strikeouts, etc. in the MLB playoffs! Denny: It’s a different game. Bob: And blah, blah, blah.
And the baseballs themselves! “Wouldn’t It be NIce?” if everyone would just stop bitchin’ cuz “It’s Kind of a Drag.”
Denny finally goes to school on a future Hall of Famer — just one of the MANY baseball topics we’ve got for you.
Matt Stafford is on the cusp of breaking MORE records as the FL’s go to play — Bob’s favorite team?
No matter any one result, Eli’s also had enough of the FL’s and harkens back to the glorious 50’s — all we have left!
The new “biggest game of Harbaugh’s Michigan career” looms at Happy Valley this Saturday.
While Michigan State MAY be playing — WHEN they play –the FINAL games of Mark Dantonio’s career.
Bo and his presidency of the Tigers: the boys have plenty of stories on that — none that would make Bo proud!
Eli’s been TRYING to tell us so: a younger Steve Yzerman really WAS a big pain in the, uh — butt!
Those stories — the Wings desperate already?– and much more coming up right here.
