Get some facts and come back and seebe. Get some facts and come back
and sev. Don't throw up salaries or other things. Get some facts and
come back and Seebee. You can't handle the true now told our players you
need a bit more like a dog. We don't need a bunch of cats
in here looking in the mirror. But I look good. I got my
extra bands on, I got my other shoes. Be a doll. We
don't need no mouns. We don't need no cats. We need more dolls.
Why you're not at the time, Oh, you're not at the time.
We weren't good. There's no sense of asking me things about the game.
I'm telling you we laid an egg. So I'm not gonna break it
down for you. He sucks. He sucked. He laid an egg.
That's all I have to say. Guys, I'm sorry. I'm not gonna
break it down for you. Nothing went well for us. It's on us.
We have to figure it out, and we went. It's show dad,
it is showtime. As we get into the eight o'clock hour, Dennis
fifteen in four, Bett Shepherd here on X's and Rose on the Michigan Sports
Network. I want to hear from you. I'm asking you about the Tigers
as they come home after an unsuccessful trip, a road trip to the Bronx
and to Cleveland where they were just able to pick up one or just yeah,
picked up one win. You got that one right. We're getting your
feeling on the Tigers so far, and how do you feel about the rest
of the year eight six six How do you feel about the team for the
rest of the year eight six six, eight three, eight four, eight
four to three on the Meyer Hotline again, that is eight sixty six,
eight three, eight four, eight four three. We're checking the texts.
You can get involved there Tech Sports Radio to twenty one thousand, and we'll
see what you have to say now before we go to the phones and get
to the techs. Last night you had the Rangers in overtime over the Canes
three to two, three to zero series lead there for the Blue Shirts,
who are seven to zero the playoffs. Dallas evens up their series with Colorado
two better than the Abs five to three for the Stars who got up fo
nothing and hung on for the five to three win. And then Cleveland in
a shocker, they beat the Celtics by twenty four points to even up that
series at one, and also Dallas and OKC is now tied at one with
Luka Doncents limping around and putting up twenty nine to ten and seven. A
couple things here locally mentioned the Tigers going to be in action. Dan Campbell,
the Lions head coach, is going to miss rookie camp for personal reasons.
Have right now personal reasons. Dan Campbell gonna miss rookie camp. My
thoughts there. I hope everything is okay with Dan Campbell, not like he
has needed at rookie camp. And when you see personal issues, hey,
hopefully he has a hangnail and or you know, I don't know. You
know, the best case scenario there is that it's not that big of a
deal and you know he'll be back and up and running in no time.
All right, So you got the numbers out there, you get the Tigers
question. Also, I ranked Jared Goff, I had him at number twelve.
Is that just preposterous? I mean, what's an acceptable ranking for you?
And without going through all of them, you know the guys that I
put in front of golf in a dack, Trevor, Lawrence, Stafford,
Herbert and Love the last few. Are you wanting to push Jared Goff all
the way up to like seven? I think that's where he deserves to be
after the kind of season he had last year and the position that he is
in this year with a team around him. The cap number, everything you
you involve as you're ranking these guys again eight six six eight three eight forty
eight forty three. On the Meyer Hotline, let's go to the phones.
Here is Freddy who joins us on exes and bros. Hey, Freddy,
good morning, Dennis. How are you, sir? Oh? It's Good's
good here. Good to hear your voice. You too, buddy. I
wanted to touch on the Lions and Tigers. I sent to the text about
the Lions. I'm glad you didn't read it because I hit son too fast
and I didn't word it right. And we all we all do that,
I think once in a while, So real quick on the NBA, I
got I gotta be honest. I don't think I'm in the minority year.
You know, when when you're Lias, or excuse me, when you're Tigers,
Pistons and red Wings suck for ten years decade, you know you tend
to tune out watching other other teams other games because because you know, your
teams just suck and that's just that's just the nature of the beast. And
last night I tuned into Dallas, Oklahoma City number one. What a scene
in Oklahoma City. Everyone wearing the blue shirts. What a great scene,
except that one guy who had a red shirt on. I mean, he's
stuck out like a store thumb. Did he Yeah, Oh that one I
missed. But I you know, I I have to. I have to
admit this. I really have never seen Luca Dodgers playing the game. I've
seen the highlights and everything, and I just thought, man, this guy
has my body. He is he's he's Larry Bird. He's he's my Larry
Bird. I Larry Bird has always been my favorite player in the NBA ever
and and Jordan, But uh, he's my Larry Bird. It was awesome
to watching me day. I watch him about ten fifty mans. I couldn't
watch anymore because it was the Pistons and I just was kind of neat.
Dennis. I just wanted to I just wanted to bring that out. I
don't think I'm in the minority. When your team suck, it's hard to
watch other teams. I mean, I know the NFL doesn't have that problem,
but the other three sports leagues I think has that problem. But all
right, the Lions and the Tigers. Now, I know it's popular nowadays.
You can't have an opinion, you know. I know there's a lot
of guys in the media, you know, And I'm not pointing anyone out.
Some people work with teams and they can't have an opinion. It's just
I don't think there's anything wrong with opinions. And uh, and I'm not
saying anything toward you. I'm not saying this is just my opinion, you
know. One with the Lions, this Jared Golf situation, I don't think
the fans chanting Jared Golf. This is just my opinion. I don't think
he's helped there. I don't think they're helping Jared Golf sign long term here.
I think what Brad Holmes did yesterday, in my opinion, was very
smart. He got out in front of this is the first time he's got
out in front of this and said, hey, of course he deserves extension,
and we want to sign an extension. It just hasn't worked out yet.
So what that tells me. And what in my opinion, what Brad
Holmes is saying, Well, listen, we offered a forty two forty three
million, he wants fifty to fifty five million. That's just my opinion.
I don't have no no, I don't know anything, and I just think
he's getting it out there, and for some reason Golf doesn't want to sign
Nats. The Lions ends up looking good through this because then the fans what
fans do, they'll turn on, they'll turn on the player. That's just
that's that's just what they're gonna do. So that's kind of my take on
it. I wouldn't I sent the text in about two years guaranteed. Yeah,
to addition to what he's making this year. This is that's what I
would do. Donnis. I wouldn't give him a five year, one hundred
and fifty the two hundred million dollars because listen, Jared Goff is a good
dude, he's a good quarterback. I just think his situation, Dennis,
if they give him that kind of contract and he doesn't win here where he
told a couple of picks, fans took a turn on him really quick.
Dennis that's just that's kind of my take on golf. So if we don't
have time for the Tigers, that's fine. But what do you think about
my take? What the situation with brand Holmes yesterday? Yeah, well,
I think you're right. I don't know if he's kicking the can down the
road a little bit where if they want to look at Hooker to feel like,
you know, the comfort level where they can they can at least take
a look at him. I know they got the rookie camp first before OTAs,
but you know what else could it be if if Golf and his agent
loved the deal, or they even like the deal, they say, okay,
let's just get it done. So you know the line. But I
don't think it's that far apart where they can't find a deal before the season.
Is it the worst thing Freddy in the world. If the Lions went
into having Jared Goff at thirty two million next year and then decided, look,
we can always sign him after that and if he has the good season,
well then you know he'll deserve thee they fifty million or whatever it would
be. By then they hedge their bet and the downside would just be a
lot of negativity from the from the fans and the media about oh the you
know, they're ruining this franchise tag and everything else. But there is that
option that's there. It's not the worst thing Holmes. But in my opinion,
Grad Holmes and Dan Campbell can't do anything wrong in this down they walk
on water. There's no way they can lose this Jared Golf situation if they
don't sign them. They people worship those two of this town. And I
think Brad Holmes was genius what he did yesterday. I don't think they want
to give him that much money. And listen, I think Jared god is
a good, doing, good quarterback. But I you could, you could,
I don't. I'll say it's all blue in the face. There is
not another situation in this in this in this league where he can be as
productive as he is right now. This is a petty for him. He
knows. Yeah, I love it. We're right up against it. I'm
going to come back and hit on that. Who's who's walking on water?
More? Is it the quarterback? Is that the GM is at the coach
and who will sink the fastest. We'll get to that. EXAs and Bros.
On the Michigan Sports Network in the Dan with Dan Dickerson's Hey Tiger's Fans.
A new baseball season means a new season on Michigan's favorite island destination,
Mackinawe Island, Baseball Spring and Mackinaw Island. Things that return every year,
reminding us what a great state we live in. Shake off the winter blaus,
taking a game and playing your trip to America's top summer destination, Mackinaw
Island dot org. Aj hitch sarks all the time about the need for hitters
to be timed up for the fastball. Good lineups are full of players who
can hit the fastball and get the ball in the air. The Tigers haven't
had a good offense for years because year after year they do not hit fastballs.
The offense this year is still bottom five, but there are some signs
it could be a lot better this summer. The Tigers are getting the ball
in the air with the sixth best hard hit rates, and they're hitting the
fastball. They bring fourth against fastballs. This offense has struggled most of the
year, but the Tigers have scored eleven runs twice in the last ten days
and maybe just maybe things are about to turn. Axes and Bros. Michigan
Sports Network. I'm Dennis fenty in Inframatt Shepherd here on this Friday. They're
taking your calls. Good about the Tigers and the Lions and the playoffs playoffs.
I know the Rangers and the Stars win in the NHL playoffs last night,
and in the NBA they had the Cavs and the MAVs both winning and
tying up their series at one game apiece. Ass Pistons fans they view Anthony
Edwards. You're biased when it comes down to Lebron and MJ, but not
that biased. You can just honestly assess Anthony Edwards as a Pistons fan.
We're getting your feel the Tigers and the Jared Goff situation on when he will
sign an extension. Eight six six eight three eight forty eight forty three.
That's the buyer hotline where you can join us. You don't like those topics,
you don't want to bring one to the table at eight six six eight
three eight forty eight forty three, you can get involved via the text by
texting Sports Radio to twenty one thousand. Will read some of those texts coming
up. Shortly. Also coming up at eight thirty six, how college football
will look this upcoming season. I've got some thoughts and I'll give them to
you. I want to address a couple of things. You know, last
segment we ended where the question of Brad Holmes and Dan Campbell walking on water
in this town, Jared Goff seemingly walking on water as well, with his
name being chanted. Who would sink first? Well, the quarterback is gonna
sink first and that situation, Holmes last, and then Campbell the the I
would say the funny part because it's not funny, but the second half of
the meltdown for the Lions, which quarterback, receivers, running back, the
defense, the all of the important pieces for the Detroit Lions, every one
of them melted out, including the head coach and the offensive coordinator, all
of them. I mean, it was a total and complete meltdown, as
you know, and so is fantastic of a season the Lions had last year.
There were a couple of weeks after the NFC Championship game where people were
giving it to Dan Campbell, and some of it rightfully. So I mean,
if you have a way that you're coaching and it's off the beaten path.
And you go that route and you win, you are a genius.
But if you go that route and it doesn't work, you're going to deserve
some criticism. And he took some Alliance fans. You know, they fired
back, and I think, you know that's understandable to give them some some
rope there. That's one of those things that when it comes to sports,
I hear coaches say sometimes when they do something out of the ordinary that doesn't
work. And he said, well, if it, you know, it
did work, you know you guys would all be praising me. Well,
that's right. That's sports, and that's why we're giving it to you.
If you go off and it doesn't work. I never liked the Yeah,
we understand that. We understand that, coaches, So all right, the
feel for the Tigers. They're sitting here coming home nineteen and eighteen, this
is I feel luke warm of this team that is pegged for five hundred.
How are you feeling about that? Let's get ben Zos involved here. He's
looking at the TECs. That's right. We got a couple about golf.
Suggestion for the golf contract. Give him a three year deal forty million first
year forty five, the second. These two years are guaranteed, third year
fifty but it's an opt out year for both player and the team. Well
that's nice, that sounds nice, But the Jared Goff's agent is is not
signing that kind of deal. So maybe that's where we're you know, like
the fans, I haven't heard, at least yet, I haven't heard a
fan say, yeah, you know what, you got to give him a
market value and he is going to get one hundred and fifty million guaranteed,
he's going to get close to fifty million dollars a year, and he's going
to sign a five year deal that looks like two hundred and fifty three hundred
million dollars. I haven't heard anybody say that that's what he's that's the kind
of deal that he's going to get. And maybe that's where we're sitting here,
where your Brad Holmes and if he is trying to do what fans think
that he should do and get a very reasonable it's weird to say lowball,
but compared to what other quarterbacks are getting. He will not sign a deal.
He will go into the upcoming season playing on the last year of his
deal. If those are the kind of contract numbers that the Lions are saying,
yeah, tag it or leave it. That's where we're at right now
in Holmes yesterday saying yeah, you've earned an extension. Yeah, but here's
the numbers. It's a high priority. It's a high priority. Yeah,
we'd like you to sign this real team friendly deal for these two years and
then we can we can get out of it, or are we gonna just
come back and you know, slap one more season on it. It's it's
not gonna work that way. But the Lions do have you know, the
Lions do have the leverage here. Certainly, they they don't have much of
a backup plan when it's just unknown when it comes down to Hendon Hooker,
and you'd be sitting here with a team that is is ready to compete in
a window for the Super Bowl, and you could be thinking, wow,
we're playing games with a quarterback. But you go into this next year and
you want it to go well for Jared Goff, he's gonna earn a little
bit more money. But you can also put that tag on them. The
chances that the Lions would put the franchise tag on Jared Goff, as I
sit here on May the tenth and think it out, because Holmes has done
things in his time here that doesn't fall in line with what the fans want,
what the fans think, what the experts want, or what the experts
think. I still think there's a chance that that is could be the direction
that he would go. But I think it's so you have to put that
at least in there anybody that comes out. I know, it's a the
way things go. Certainly, if you're running a talk show to say absolutely
there's no way that the Lions will go into next year without having a golf
sign of extension. There's zero chance. Well no, there's more than a
zero ch chance. You're just saying that I had somebody who is uh has
an opportunity, it has a mic in front of him. But I would
put it at a ten chance. Remember this is the same GM they say
you can't take a running back, you're not taking tight ends and running backs
and mintal linebackers. And then he did, and then he came out,
came out of the draft and was like, Yeah, this is what we
did, this is who we are. Maybe uh, maybe after next year,
you know, he'll go in and talk about contract year or something.
He'll wear a shirt talking about Brad Holmes. All right, looking ahead to
college football in the twenty twenty four season, Just how will it look.
We'll get to that coming up at eight thirty five. More of your text,
your calls. We talk about the Lions, the playoffs, and you
know Freddy said that about in it he just can't enjoy the NHL of the
NBA playoffs. I'll dive into that a little bit straight ahead. I'm donis

thanks for joining us, ex'es and bros. And the Michigan Sports Network.
I'm Dennismithian. We've got it lined up for you here. We're getting your
feel the Tigers almost forty games to start this season so far, your feel,
how you feel about the rest of the year, eight six, six,
eight three, eight forty eight forty three On the Meyer Hotline. We're
also talking about the Lions and Jared Goff. You had Brad Holmes yesterday saying
that golf has earned an extension and it's a high priority, and he said
they would have liked to have had it done already, along with Sewel in
Saint Brown. You know, however, you can parse those words. You
can do whatever you want. You could say, sure, he's earned an
extension to our liking, Yeah, here's a four year extension at forty forty
five and kind of spoon feeding it and Golf's agents like, no, that's
going to have to be closer to fifty and we're going to need one hundred
and fifty guaranteed. I mean, he said the negotiations that are playing out.
If you're a Lions fan, you have to ask yourself. And I
think most Lion fans and I understand this, I get this part where whatever
they do, you say, we've got somebody that's running things that we feel
really good about. And years past, if you had this kind of situation
and you'd say, well, the lines are gonna screw it up no matter
what happens. Now it's you feel the exact opposite. You could back Brad
Holmes. If they actually went into the season they said they weren't going to
have any contract negotiations during the season, and they just went into the final
year with Jared Goff, You'd say, well, Holmes had his number,
and they must they must like they must like Hooker, and it does make
you feel like they just must not really trust that's the the wrinkle in it.
If it does play out there, if they would take it all the
way through next season, and it'd be a gamble on both sides. But
it does give you the feeling like, yeah, we don't want to pay
him top dollar as we feel like we just don't believe he's that top five
QB. That's the kind of vibes you get if it plays out that way.
But you have that trust off your a Lions fan, we're asking you
about this situation. It's unusual that you're sitting here talking about the Lions and
having the trust. These are the guys that you are now like at the
you feel great about with Brad Holmes and Jared Goff, but just like when
you get to baseball arbitration and you got to get over there and everything you
say about the player of your ownership, it's like, yeah, this guy
can't do this, he can't do that, We don't want to pay him
this, and the players are like, wow, man, these guys.
It's a little bit like this. Jared Goff, until you get this signed,
it's like, yeah, we like you, but we don't like you.
Fifty million dollars a year. Yeah, we'd like you, but you're
gonna have to take a little bit of a hometown discount. And he's not
gonna do that. As much as Jared Goff loves it here and he's in
the perfect situation, you take a little bit of a hometown deal. I
think once you have all of that money and you have everything else and you're
in this situation, I think this is just my guess. I think the
golf, it's just like with his agent is like, skip me where I
won't be. Where does it feel like I'm getting taken advantage of or it's
going to be embarrassing whatever that number is going to be, because yeah,
he's not gonna find another situation at twenty nine years old where he's sitting here
where everything is lined up for him. So there's that part I said I
would get to college football and grab a line, send a text, We're
looking for your thoughts here on baseball with the Tigers, on the Lions situation
as well on Exis and Bros. Eight sixty six eight three, eight forty
eight forty three. That's the mayor hotline and a text sports radio to twenty
one thousand college football is I just look ahead and we get a long way.
It's you know, under one hundred days, but hey, who's counting,
it's never We've never had more changes in the last couple of years.
And then right into where we're at right now, and I'm on board with
all of it. You know, the Big eighteen you bring it in the
West Coast teams and you know they got at USC and he at Oregon and
Washington and UCLA. It sounds crazy and it feels crazy to be on board.
Where you're talking about the big tent country. Let's talk about UCLA and
all the travel and everything else back and forth. But where it sits right
now with coach and program, USC and Oregon and Washington, Man, these
are these are red letter games there. This is not Michigan State playing Northwestern.
This is not Michigan Purdue. Well, these are games the history between
Michigan and USC, Michigan in Washington for instance, same thing with Michigan State
when you look at some of this. So I like that it's a bigger,
big time games in the conference. I like that the Big Ten championship
game is gonna be a better championship game the Big Ten West. They never
won a Big Ten title. They never had a team that could do it.
Now you're gonna have a big ten championship game against the top two and
no divisions. I like that. Even if if it's like let's say a
Michigan Ohiose State one week and then a Michigan Ohiose State the following week,
it's not gonna water it down enough where you're gonna be like, oh,
I'm not gonna watch this game. Now, you'll still watch it. I'm
not with that argument. And then a twelve team playoff is pretty awesome more
than the four team now already talking about, Oh, let's go to sixteen.
Let's calm down a little bit on that. Let's let this one play
out for a little bit before we start. They haven't even played this one
and they're already like, let's jack it up. That's the way things go
now. I don't mind talking about it, but let's stay with the twelve
teamer and let that breathe for a while. Let's see what it looks like.
So I'm looking forward to the changes in college football and how that is
going to play out. Now, let's go to the Tigers and the feeling
on the team. It's tough when the prospects are a five hundred for the
team, that's how they've played, and you know they're sitting here one game
above five hundred, which is, you know, record wise, a little
bit better than okay. But they're coming off, you know, the their
worst road trip, their biggest series where they lost two out of three,
and so it's tough to be You get excited when you know, it's human
nature. When they're sweep a series or win two out of three against a
divisional opponent, you're gonna feel a little bit better. But overall, I
feel luke warm to where they're at. I've had some feedback on the Tigers
and how people are feeling about them on Twitter. Derek said he has seen
nothing to suggest this team's improved it all from last season. If anything,
the offense and the young core pieces have regressed. Safe for Green and then
CW says he feels like, even if they develop a team full of superstars,
don't just leave for the Yankees or Dodgers. And he's talking about the
need for a cap. I think that's a little of that extreme. Matt
talking about the Tigers says, honestly, a mixed bag. It's like rolling
a dice or rolling a die to see which Tigers we get the low offense,
stellar pitching team, the high output offense terrible pitching team, or the
average offense, bullpens screwing up team. Miz says hopefully that road trip was
a slap in the face for him. As much as Hinch wants Torque to
work through his hitting issues in the show, he still thinks to trip down
to Triple A is necessary that and he hopes that when Geo finishes his rehab
that he can get the defense and extra base bats going. Yeah, the
thing about Torque, if everybody else was rolling and and Tork was the one
that was stick it out like a sore thumb, I think they may have
been able to say, you know, let's uh, let's go have him
work it out. How much when there's so many automatic outs, you can't
send everybody now. And I think that's where they're They're they're sitting right now
when it comes down to Tork. They already sent medals. Now, I
send cold Keith down next then, and I'm gonna send Tork. He's third
in line there. That would have really been something if they said, yeah,
we're gonna swap out Keith tork Meadows. We're gonna bring up the mud
Hens. That's the way we're going to go about it. Interesting. And
then one more the Tigers from SPP. He says, really good pitching,
very weak hitting, defensive struggles due to versatile players being below average due to
playing multiple positions. The one thing about baseball that I think is always held
true is that. And it's good the way that they've been able to perform
on the mound this year. But when you don't hit, what happens is
it's boring to watch. For sure. It's not like the postseason where you
love one nothing games or two to one games. In the regular season,
especially if you're going to the game, you want a little offense. But
what happens every single time when the team goes through a lot of offensive production,
it looks like they don't care. And then if you combine a lack
of hitting with kicking it around in key moments with your defense, then it
looks like you're poorly managed and don't care. And some of that jumped up
against the Yankees and the Guardians. You know, almost every team that's made
a name change. It takes a little while to get it going, and
you know, people still screw up. You know, it's the San Diego
Chargers. You still have people saying that, and you know, once in
a while, you know, you still slip in the little Indians. I
think I did it even earlier today. But I'm just just saying the Tribe
over the Guardians. I've been talking about the Tigers now. Earlier when I
asked about the playoffs, it's Freddy that says he just it's been so long
for the Pistons winning in the postseason and other Red Wings as well. It
just couldn't get into what's going on nationally. And I really understand it.
It really takes effort and you just have to find different ways. If you're
let's just say, like, if you're a Red Wings, Pistons, Tigers
fan, they don't you don't have that problem with the NFL because it's so
popular. But I get it. I remember, I don't know how many
years ago it was now with the Nationals won the World Series. So the
Tigers that were down so bad that I thought, but you know, when
I'm willing to find another team, this was my effort that I put in.
I'm going to say I'm going to pick a team and I'm gonna pick
a player, and it just so happened. My friend, who is really
into collecting cards, baseball cards in particular, he had a Wan Soto card
and he gave it to me. He said, this is kind of guy
you want to get behind. So I said, all right, this is
my guy, Wa Soto, and I'm going to root for the Nationals.
And the Nationals went on they won the World Series, and Wa Soto's is
a hell of a player. He's one of the best players in baseball.
But it compared to the Tigers doing something if the Tigers getting to the playoffs
is a ten and the Tigers being the worst team in baseball as a zero,
the Nationals winning the World Series, and Juan Soto the guy that I,
you know, hand picked to be like my player and my new team,
or at least the team until the Tigers were competitive, it barely rated.
I don't know, would I give it even a one, not really
give it a half. Just he goes, hey, this was my team.
I trained with the Astros two of the year. They won because Verlander
was there and I thought, eyah, I'd like to see him. What
a World Series, and he did it, and I watched and I was
kind of like, but it didn't do anything. I mean, it was
hard. So I put that effort through and it just it didn't work.
I've I haven't really done the same thing with in terms of picking another team.
I've watched the Pistons these last couple of years, and a lot of
what happens is I watch, but it's very easy to turn off and it's
very easy to miss games. A little bit like that with the Red Wings
too, pools, fantasy leagues. Oh yeah, gambling that can help a
little bit, you know, to get the interest. There were a couple
of years. Maybe you love hockey, you're gonna watch you love basketball,
kind of the same way. But it's just the you've got to find some
way somewhere in there to find something rather than just like for it to grab
you, to find that effort to go through it. You got to do
that. How those are some of the suggestions, you know, to get
through it. Somebody telling you. It's a little bit like I found out
over the years with the w NBA. Let's say, oh, I don't
this is oh the women's game, and it's just kind of like, no,
thanks, but then it just grabbed me. Last year with Iowa with
LSU, it certainly happened there. And you know, here I was today
when I was watching the highlights, They're like, here's the Fevers last preseason
game before they start the regular season. And in the years passed out if
tuned out of that so fast, And here I was like, eh,
kaylen Claire, they grabbed it. So it'd be nice to see the other
sports be able to do that for Detroit fans. I want to thank Ben
Zos on the Variable Resistors producing a show. Thank you very much, ben
