The one! The only! The magic one!

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

LOOK! Up in the sky! It’s a BIRD! It’s a PLANE! NO, it’s SUPERFAN Ron Cameron! A TRUE Detroit original.
Eli’s not with us, off on a well-deserved family vacation, so it’s just Denny and Bob stirring up all the —- today!
MLB is back. Kinda. And the guys are NOT happy about the Tigers’ apparently throwing in the towel already!
Are YOU looking forward to watching a bastardized short season in empty stadiums or arenas?
Bob’s solution to allowing fans in at games remains logical. He’s CRESTFALLEN sports execs aren’t listening to him.
If fans WERE allowed to attend live games, would many stay away anyway over political and social protests?
The team without a town! Should the Toronto Blue Jays come knocking at YOUR door, would you let ’em in?
Denny says WHAT? “They’re gonna be pretty good this year!” And he’s talking about — WHOM?!
College football remains a mess due to COVID (what doesn’t?) but MSU may have just set a bad precedent.
Fans of The Mailbag finally have their ardent demand met: a much LONGER segment with no Eli around!
And is an NBA ROOKIE trying to run his new team’s front office?! These stories and much more right here.

Life is good!

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

A somber note to start this show: Denny is not with us due to the death of his beloved wife Sharon.
Eli recounts in moving detail their long-time — and up-and-down — love story.
But the great Red Berenson IS with us on so MANY historic hockey moments he was part of, the Wings, U-M and MORE!
U-M and MSU basketball BOTH utterly HUMILIATED Tuesday night! But Bob says the two losses were VERY different.
Does Michigan football really want to (GULP) play ALABAMA in a bowl game?! Ohio State redux?
Could another new twist on MSU’s Larry Nassar disaster leave MSU declaring BANKRUPTCY?!
He said, HE said? Bob’s interaction with powerful MSU Trustee Joel Ferguson has created some waves!
NFL coaches are on the hot seat — but not Matt Patricia? Eli has lowlights of the early years of many FL’s coaches.
Babs SMEARED for mistreatment of ex-players like Johan Franzen, but wouldn’t the Wings STILL be better off with him NOW?
PLUS, whither the Pistons? Rudy T once WOWED Eli but ATTACKED Bob(!), YOUR mailbag and much more right here!

I’ve never burned a bridge.

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

He’s rarely been back to Detroit and doesn’t do interviews — but he did with us! Ex-Lions coach Wayne Fontes has a LOT to say.
The smackdown of Jim Harbaugh rages on — and won’t get any easier for him on THIS program!
If ONLY Michigan had players like Michigan State’s Joe Bachie — whom they didn’t even recruit.
But Bob wonders: what’s a good MSU story like Saturday’s win at Northwestern without still more controversy?
The FL’s author a stunning victory at Philly! And now it’s on to the Super Bowl — right, you FL’s diehards?
Denny goes to a Tigers’ game — and his wallet won’t be the same for weeks! A full accounting coming up.
He RIPS Joe Madden, the manager of his own beloved Cubbies, yet somehow defends Derek Jeter’s woeful Marlins?!
Now on a ROLL (or maybe just in a BAD mood?) Denny claims MIGGY is dogging it.
The boys decry the continued abuse of Detroit, Eli now helping NFL fantasy players and the Cincinnati, uh, GREENS?
Those stories and more right here.
