The Lions beat writer at the Detroit Free Press, Dave Birkett, is low key pro-players. He recently said Calvin Johnson is right to be miffed about the Lions taking back 300 grand of signing bonus. And he always stands up for players getting the max money they can from the team independent of cap space and the like.

I actually really liked that episode of the Simmons podcast, where he, Bryan Curtis, and that dude from the WaPo(?) did their Sports Repoders imitation.

Speaking of Papi appreciation. Ken Tremendous wrote a piece about The Lebatard Show for Slate. As you might expect, it's good. Though there is one hell of a correction.

When the Red Wings and Tigers were on WJR, one of the most powerful stations in the country, they used to send out congratulations and tracking cards to people that wrote in to say that they listened from really far away.

I remember my dad listening to Wings games on JR when we were visiting family in Connecticut. And conversely he'd sit in the car to listen to the Red Sox at home in Michigan since it had better reception than the radio in the house.

there are empty seats at the start of Dodger games because they all started at like 5 pm local time or earlier and it's maybe just slightly harder to get places on time in loving Los Angeles than it is in Milwaukee. It's not because people don't care about the Dodgers

My eastern time zone mind recoils at the thought of game 3 having a 7pm local start time.

Is that really a thing? Are we talking walking when they're walked instead of running to first after a walk?

Its important to remember that most broadcasters actually hate the sport of baseball and anything that prolongs their stay at the ballpark even a picosecond longer than they think it should pisses them off.

The radio crew has honestly been perfectly fine to pretty good. Asking Berman to carry the broadcast the way Joe Castig does is a reach, but they probably, hopefully won't. I'm guessing it's mostly going to be Castig/Impemba in the booth

So I get that there's always going to be broadcasters wagging their finger at Kids These Days doing terrible things like "showing emotion" and "having fun", especially in baseball

but of all the people to do that, Dennis fuckin Eckersley?

I feel like there's context missing because Eck is pretty much always in favor of players putting on a show. Heck he was saying Christian Vazquez should've done a bigger bat flip on the game winning home run friday

Reminder that ABC already traded Al Michaels once so that an early Disney creation could appear in the game Epic Mickey.

And that was mostly because Al Michaels didn't want to move to ESPN along with Monday Night Football since that would mean giving up calling the Super Bowl.
