Detroit City Sports Cast

Adam and Garret discuss the Lions through four games, concerns about the roster and performances, and the team’s $60 standing room tickets.

Detroit hockey brings questions about the Red Wings’ start and turmoil off the ice, plus PWHL Detroit’s Western Conference placement and schedule reveal. The conversation also covers Ausar Thompson and Jalen Duren’s contracts, the Tigers’ season-ending press conference with Scott Harris and A.J. Hinch, and Detroit City FC’s playoff berth with regular-season matches still ahead.

Join the conversation: Which Detroit team deserves the most scrutiny?

In this previously unreleased episode, Garret and Adam break down another chaotic week in Detroit sports, beginning with the Lions’ 31–30 overtime victory over New Orleans and the short-week challenge waiting in Buffalo. They examine the offensive-line injuries facing Detroit, the Tigers’ late-season struggles, and the Red Wings opening training camp with Dylan Larkin sidelined. The guys also look ahead to the Pistons’ upcoming season and tackle the biggest questions surrounding each of Detroit’s major teams. Independent analysis, honest reactions, and no corporate filter—this is the Detroit City Sports Cast.

Garret Komatz and Adam Hernandez return with a full tour of Detroit sports. The guys lead with the Lions following the preseason finale, breaking down roster cuts, the backup quarterback battle, offensive-line concerns and why a 12-win season and NFC North title feel realistic. They also review Detroit’s new Rivalries uniform—and debate whether it looks a little too much like Carolina.

The conversation then turns to the Tigers’ brutal 3-12 slide and fading postseason hopes, the Red Wings’ vacant general manager position and the uncertainty surrounding Dylan Larkin and Moritz Seider. Garret and Adam close with the Pistons’ Jalen Duren contract stalemate, lineup questions and Detroit City FC’s elite defense as Le Rouge pushes toward a home USL Championship playoff match.

The Detroit Tigers traded Tarik Skubal and Casey Mize—but they haven’t traded away their chance at October.

Garret Komatz and Adam Hernandez evaluate Scott Harris’ busy trade deadline, the return Detroit received for its starting pitchers and whether moving Skubal to the Dodgers was the correct long-term decision. Despite sitting below .500, the Tigers completed a strong West Coast trip and remain within striking distance of both the American League Central and a Wild Card berth. Can emerging arms such as Troy Melton and Jackson Jobe help Detroit produce another late-season surge?

The guys also examine the Detroit Lions as training camp gives way to preseason football. Topics include Devin White’s arrival, Kirby Joseph’s injury, the transition to Drew Petzing’s offense, whether Dan Campbell should play his starters during the preseason and what the NFL’s new rivalry uniform could look like.

Then it’s a trip around the rest of Detroit sports:

• Should the Red Wings trade Dylan Larkin as Shawn Horcoff oversees the post–Steve Yzerman front office?
• Should the Pistons prioritize an Ausar Thompson extension while negotiations with Jalen Duren remain unresolved?
• What might Detroit’s future WNBA franchise be called?
• What does Jay Farner’s investment mean for Detroit City FC’s supporter-driven identity?
• After finally winning at FC Tulsa, can Le Rouge secure a home playoff match?
• Could USL promotion and relegation reshape DCFC’s future?

The episode begins with Garret discussing his latest hair donation and recognizing the work of Maggie’s Wigs 4 Kids of Michigan.

Hosted by Garret Komatz and Adam Hernandez.

Garret Komatz reacts to Steve Yzerman stepping aside as Detroit Red Wings general manager and moving into a senior-adviser role with the organization.

The episode examines the surprising timing of the announcement, pressure created by Detroit’s 10-season playoff drought and whether Dylan Larkin’s trade request influenced the decision. Garret also considers possible successors, including internal candidates Kris Draper and Shawn Horcoff, and explains why the Larkin captaincy question remains unresolved regardless of the management change.

Garret Komatz and Adam Hernandez break down a pivotal summer across Detroit sports. The Tigers reach the All-Star break with their postseason hopes still alive, but an approaching trade deadline forces the organization to make a potentially franchise-defining decision involving Tarik Skubal. The hosts also reflect on Justin Verlander’s retirement announcement and examine the emergence of Kevin McGonigle and Troy Melton.

Elsewhere, Dylan Larkin’s uncertain future continues to complicate the Red Wings’ offseason, while the Pistons reshape their supporting cast around Cade Cunningham and navigate a difficult contract negotiation with Jalen Duren. Garret and Adam also discuss Terrion Arnold’s release from the Lions, Detroit City FC’s form and roster depth, the delay of the club’s new stadium and their World Cup semifinal predictions.

In this episode of the Detroit City Sports Cast, Garret Komatz and Matt Feldbush take a deep dive into the Detroit Pistons’ offseason following the club’s playoff exit.

The guys discuss their feelings on the season as a whole and where the organization stands after taking a major step forward. They break down the looming contract situations involving Jalen Duren and Ausar Thompson, debate which players saw their stock rise or fall during the postseason, and examine who could potentially be moved as the Pistons look to build around their young core.

Garret and Matt also share their thoughts on the upcoming NBA Draft, discuss how the rest of the playoffs unfolded, and close out the show with some early observations on the WNBA season.

From roster decisions to trade possibilities and the future of Detroit basketball, it’s a full offseason edition of the Detroit City Sports Cast. 🏀🎙️
