Detroit sports podcasters Greg Eno, Big Al Beaton, and Nick Milanovich are The Knee Jerks!

We held off recording a new episode for a few days, waiting on the Detroit Tigers - Seattle Mariners ALDS to come to a conclusion or reach game 5. Also, Al is still in the Michigan wilderness, so today's show will be shorter than usual, and the audio version will be bare bones.

This week, our topics include:

The Tigers' offense continues its weeks-long slumber, dropping ALDS games two (a loss despite Tarik Skubal allowing just two runs) and three (Jack "Jekyll and Hyde" Flaherty was Dr Jekyll). This has left the Tigers in a hit the damn ball or the season is over situation.

Meanwhile, the Detroit Lions continue to roll, winners of four straight. Their latest game was a relatively workman-like 37-24 road win over the Cincinnati Bengals. Coming up are the surprisingly under .500 Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday Night Football. Unfortunately, injuries are taking a toll on the defense AGAIN. This year, it's the cornerback room that is being decimated.

The Detroit Red Wings start their season this week, with a possible youth movement as three rookies made the roster. When it comes to team building, here are similarities between the Tigers' POBO Scott Harris and Wings GM Steve Yzerman.

We also play Greg's Birthday Game and name our respective Jerk of the Week.
