Daily Detroit

All things Detroit sports.

First, despite the hype of the HBO Hard Knocks special, Fletcher Sharpe talks about how the Lions are still the Lions and he has a low opinion on their season.

Second, we talk about Michigan on the podcast (Michigan State, too) and whether we should be playing teams we can blow out, and instead teams that matter.

Plus, should we bet on college sports at all?

Finally, Detroit City FC.

Le Rouge had an upset win over the Colorado Switchback over the weekend.

Fletcher talks about what went different than he predicted to get the W. We discuss the Sept. 23 USL Championship roster freeze; Ryan Shellow's job as keeper in the win; Hoppenot being able to do his job and Deklan Wynne's going to the New Zealand National Team.

Oh, and don't forget the important game against the Tampa Bay Rowdies on Satuday at Keyworth.

Today's show is a conversation with Craig Fahle. His voice, if you've been following the Detroit conversation for awhile, should sound familiar to you. He's a long-time radio host and now communications professional.

His newest thing for your ears is the VVK podcast, an occasional show that does deep dives into important and interesting issues.

Me and Craig have talked without microphones around a number of times, but this is the first time we've taken it on air.

And there's a wide-range we cover when it comes to topics. Media today, finding common ground on gun control, mental health and a bit on the future of the Detroit.

This was recorded at the Mackinac Policy Conference, and thanks to producer Shianne for making sure it got to air.

Today's show is in three parts.

Detroit could get public restaurant grades in windows, whether it's a letter grade like some cities or a color scale. Should we? What do you think?

The Detroit Unity Bell is being officially unveiled this week. A cool piece of Detroit history, restored.

Plus, Buick wants its dealers to go all-EV. Some dealers are hesitant, and GM is offering to buy them out.

Attorney Todd Berg from Michigan Auto Law joins me to talk about the impact of the Michigan Court of Appeals ruling last week that part of the massive no-fault auto insurance reform passed in 2019 was deemed unconstitutional.

So what's next? What about catastrophic claims? Did we misguidedly give away too much from the claims fund? What about when crash victims who have been getting services since before the 2019 reform - when might they get help? And what about costs, have they gone down for drivers?

Today, we start with a little Detroit City FC coverage. Le Rouge lost 1-0 to Louisville over the weekend. There's a recap and then some words from Coach Trevor James and Goalkeeper Nate Steinwascher.

Plus - Highland Park is ruled against, saying they owe millions in water-related debt. It could financially crush the small enclave city.

The Giant Slide on Belle Isle is open after some adjustments after launching some riders over the weekend. The story even got its own music track thanks to @GMACCASH (Also, thanks to him for giving us rights to use it!) - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vvdZw-L5CuY&ab_channel=GmacCash

And finally, a west side Italian dining staple - Moro's - is for sale. It's been open for more than four decades.
