  • Stoneys Great. Jon’s a cult member

    Jon Jansen said knowing the other teams plays are not an advantage. This dude is so far from honest it is like tuning into North Korean or Russian media.

  • Costa is unbearable

    I skip every episode where Costa is filling in. His takes are uneducated, thinks he knows everything, overly critical of irrelevant details, unlistenable.

    Stoney & Jansen are great

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

9:00 HOUR: Detroit Do-overs, Red Wings Panic Meter
Q: What Detroit do-over would you pick?
Most callers frame it as a top one or two moves in sports history for Detroit teams, focusing on drafts, trades, and key signings, with a common thread being how different choices might have yielded championships or long-term success.
Dear Jon: Should I tell him?
Q: Should I tell him, Dear Jon, my best friend got engaged to will call her Sarah recently, and I'm feeling conflicted.
The hosts suggest that you should have an appropriate, honest conversation about your concerns without trying to break up the engagement, focusing on how certain changes might affect the friendship and future dynamics if the relationship proves unsustainable for one partner. If the friend remains resolute, you should ultimately be supportive while setting clear boundaries about your own comfort and expectations.
Full Show: 3.17.26 - The most wonderful time of the sports year
Q: Is it smarter to pick Michigan to win the tournament or go contrarian?
The hosts argue it depends on your risk tolerance and your pool, recommending contrarian picks to differentiate your bracket unless you truly believe Michigan will win and can navigate the rest of the bracket effectively.
3/10/26 - The Lions sign a new center, Free Agent Frenzy, Two Grand Slam, Steve Yzerman
Q: What was the number one need for the Lions in free agency according to the hosts?
They argued that the top priority was to acquire a veteran center to stabilize the interior offensive line, which led to Cade Mays being targeted as the best available option.
3/2/26 - D-Mo vs. the Lions, M-A-R-C-H is here, Did the Tigers show us their Opening Day lineup? Does Max Clark need to earn his bling?
Q: What is the current read on David Montgomery's trade status and how likely is a move before the season?
The hosts acknowledge there is chatter about a trade, but there is no definitive public denial from Montgomery; management seems to want him to stay, and the two sides may be negotiating in good faith with an eye on balance of value and team needs.
