In the first hour of The Sports Rush today, Brett is joined by Justin Cohn, who covers the Fort Wayne Komets for the Journal Gazette! But, before Brett and Justin can get into some Komets talk, Brett has to get Justin’s thoughts as a diehard fan of the Detroit Lions of the Lions’ loss to the San Francisco 49ers after having a significant lead, and missing out on a trip to the Super Bowl by one game. We hear his thoughts on the Lions franchise as a whole, how far they’ve come, and why it wasn’t that depressing for him to watch his Lions fall. Then the two get into some Komets talk of course, talking about the past weekend of play that saw Fort Wayne drop two games and win one in dramatic fashion against Cincinnati. We also get Justin’s thoughts on the debut of Daniel “Diamond Hands” Amesbury at the Jungle on Sunday evening, and a preview of this week of play for Fort Wayne as well. Also in the first hour, Colts hired a new defensive line coach, Homestead takes on Wayne in Boys High School Basketball tonight in the SAC, and more!
