The Knee Jerks, Eno and Big Al, dive head-first into all the news the Detroit Lions, Detroit Pistons, Detroit Tigers and Detroit Red Wings made over the past 2 weeks.

The guys start the show with one of their favorite guests, Ray Scott. The former Pistons player and head coach gives us his take on the trades for Reggie Jackson and Tayshaun Prince, the status of free-agent-to-be Greg Monroe, the blossoming of Andre Drummond, Stan Van Gundy's handling of 2 jobs in the team's hireachy, and his good friend Earl Lloyd, first African American player in the NBA, who recently passed away at 86 years of age.

To begin the second half of the podcast Eno and Big Al dissect Ndamukong Suh's signing with the Miami Dolphins, the franchise reacting to his decision by trading for Baltimore Ravens defensive tackle Haloti Ngata, and how the team got to the point where a Hall of Fame level player left the organization in his prime. 

The guys also discuss the possibility the Tigers release high priced closer Joe Nathan, who is again struggling and battling with the fan base, and the Red Wings bringing in veterans Eric Cole and Marek Zidlicky at the trade deadline.
