Where are we at in society today? Come after me. I'm a man,
I'm forty. Go ahead, make my day every single week. I
put my freaking heart and soul into this. I don't go out there and
laugh. It's not funny. Nothing's funny to me. I don't want to
go out there and get embarrassed on Monday night football fund everybody. I think
that at the beginning of a beautiful friendship. So I ain't nothing changed from
yesterday. Still the same person I was yesterday, and I got the same
thing for you that I had yesterday. You know why I'm here. You
play to win the game. You don't play to just play it. That's
a great thing about sports. Get played a win, and I don't care
if you don't have any wins. You'll go play to win. You start
telling me it doesn't matter. There were time, get out for the matters,
right, all right? Good morning, everybody, Good morning Michigan.
Dennis fit the in with you here on x'es and bros. In for Matt
Shepherd on the Michigan Sports Network and listening to my voice for the first time,
say what's going on? Don't panic? Chef's just taking the day off.
And I filled in with him for him a few times. I can
now say this summer, because it is officially summer and we're ready to go
and lift off this weekend. Lot of sneaky things going on in sports that
you can find yourself interested in, and guess what we're going to talk about
all of them. But the big thing that is looming over sports on this
Monday is the Game seven tonight between the Oilers and the Panthers in the Stanley
Cup Final. Now you just say game seven and it gets oh, you
know, people are getting interested when you hear that. And then you get
it into the finals, and you get into the Stanley Cup Finals, and
then you add in the history of what is at stake here with the Edmonton
Oilers who were done and buried in down three in good Night and they were
already couldn't blame them, getting ready to engrave the Stanley Cup, getting all
the names out for the Panthers and everything else. But as you probably know
by now, this thing is completely flipped and Edmonton is I say, not
just come back, that's the story. They've come back, but they've just
pounced and obliterated the Panthers on the way to set up this showdown tonight down
in South Florida. But it just makes you think of all kinds of different
things when it comes to sports in a Game seven, when it's like this,
a lot of history, and then you start thinking about your own teams
when they've been in a spot like this. And we'll get to all of
that. In fact, coming up at seven oh one, I will be
recounting my own favorite Game seven. I will go back and give you my
favorite Game seven moment, and I'll be asking you that as well as the
question of the day. You're on x'es and bros. Your favorite Game seven
or your favorite Game seven moment. Of course, you can in this six
o'clock hour, jump right in across Michigan and answer that question. And from
my experience of six or seven shows now that the six o'clock hour is the
very best hour to get in. So if you've ever wondered, like heck,
man, I want I want to talk some Game seven. I'll talk
some hockey. I want I talk of Game seven in baseball or basketball,
well you know this is it. The text is also available for you.
Let me get the numbers out there for you eight six, six, eight,
three eight forty eight forty three. That's the Meyer hotline eight sixty six
eight three eight forty eight forty three, and you can text in by texting
sports Radio to twenty one thousand. Sports radio is all one word, So
that's the way it's done. So if you want to jump in on that,
that big question of today coming up in less than an hour from right
now, I'll be answering that. You know the rest of what's going on
in sports as we close down June. It always when you start July you
get the free agency. So it's something to keep in mind. So hockey
is going to end tonight one way or the other. I could get into
some overtime situation. Whoa Game seven overtime could get into a situation like that,
But it will end at some point tonight or this morning, and then
free agency cranks right back up a week from today in the NHL. So
that'll perk yourself up if you're an NHL fan, certainly a Red Wings fan
thinking about a free agency. We will talk with the color analyst from the
Detroit Red Wings coming up in just about an hour from a right now.
Paul Woods is his name, longtime color analyst for the Red Wings former captain
of the Wing Wheelers. Also in the NBA. The NBA has a big
week and the Pistons they are included in the NBA, but they not if
they have I don't know if it's the biggest week. But they have a
lot of new things happening, a new GM, they're in search of a
new coach. They've got a top five pick number five, so it's a
lot of things. That is a big week for the Pistons. And with
the NBA the draft will be Wednesday and then free agency on Sunday, so
that's big, you know, and you've got a lot of cap room if
you're the Pistons, around sixty million I say that, and you know you
can go on and get a big, big time player, maybe just one,
but you know, nobody's taken one gigantic player is not taking sixty million
for the Pistons. The big ones will be going somewhere else. So but
they've they've got some money there and they're you know, obviously some players out
there. We'll see what they are able to do when it comes down to
that. Some of the other thing that you know, you're a little neat
I don't know if they're neat sports or needs interest things that are talked about
dominating sports talk across Michigan. But over the weekend you had you had golf
the Travelers and Scottie Scheffler won it in a playoff, but you had six
protesters storming the green on the final hole and it was pretty wild. I
wasn't watching that live, but if you're just sitting back, I guess gott
to tip my hat to security. I don't notice, you know, I
don't notice security at golf events. But there were you know, like you
said, six protesters and all of them I don't know, a smoke bombs
or whatever kind of colored powder whatever they had. You know, they they
ripped up their messed up the green a little bit and they had to come
right back on the playoff and they had to move the hole, and you
know they were still they tried to, you know, do what they could
do with the green there. But I'll just give it up to security that
was able to get those of you know, six protesters. It was weird.
You know, come they're running through the sand trafts. The next thing
you know, you got security running out of the green. It was a
wild scene and uh, nobody got hurt. And you know, when you
think about a tournament and then could they have changed a hole or anything else
that went along with that, But that was just a that you know,
we've seen protests just see people running out the fields, but you know the
you know, drunk idiots a lot of times. And yeah, we have
seen some protesters, but here were a half dozen of them running out there,
and uh, it was pretty wild scene. Meanwhile, well we have
a Game seven in the Stanley Cup Finals. We've got a Game three.
It doesn't quite have the ring of Game seven a game three, but there's
only three games in the College World Series and we are going to a game
three with Tennessee and Texas A and M. So that's some drama. That's
pretty cool there. And you did have Clark and Reese yesterday playing. If
you keeping tabs on the WNBA, these are the two that are gonna I
don't know further the interest of course in the WNBA. And they squared off.
We'll get this. Some Tigers they pound the White Sox and they're now
they bring in the Phillies. So you've got the worst case situation, worst
team and now the best team coming in the extremes for the Tigers, but
coming up straight ahead. Just how big of a deal is this comeback that
the Oilers are on the precipice of Will get to that straight ahead with your
questions, your comments, your feedback. Dennis fifthean in for Matt Sheppard.

are turned in a little bit here this morning on Ex's and rods. Then
it's fit then for Matt Shepherd is we ask you and we dive into it,
just how big of a deal is coming back from an three deficit,
which the oilers have done. And I have this Game seven coming up tonight.
You can jump in on that. I'd like to hear your thoughts on
it. It involves the question of the day that I'll be answering coming up
at the seven oh one, your favorite Game seven or your favorite Game seven
a moment, But we do have this Game seven coming up here tonight,
and just how big of a deal is it now if we're just being technical
and at the start we will be technical that in the final. So it's
never been done in the NBA coming back from three. It's only been done
once in baseball history, and that was the Red Sox over the Yankees.
It has been done more than once in the NHL, and in fact it
has been done. Were we at four times, four comeback winners, But
it's only been done once. And the Stanley Cup Finals back in nineteen forty
two, the Leafs came back and beat the Red Wings. That's been over
eighty years. Now does it matter if it's the Stanley Cup Finals or if
it's the playoffs? Yet matters? I mean it's the biggest stage, so
that does matter. So if somebody's saying, well why is everybody buzzing about
this the game, Well, it's something that could happen tonight if Edmonton wins
four games. It hasn't been done in eighty two years. That's why it's
a big deal that it was against the Red Wings and Jack Adams and sid
Abel old bootnse for the Red Wings that you know, it does have the
local flavor back in forty two. But that's why it's a big deal.
There have been two hundred and ten teams that have been down three in NHL
playoff history and we have four comeback winners. The forty two Leafs, these
seventy five Islanders did it against the Penguins, and then two more recent the
Flyers did it in twenty ten, and then four year later the Kings did
it in twenty fourteen. That's it. Forty two Leafs, seventy five Islanders,
ten Leafs, fourteen Kings. That is it. So that's why it's
a big deal. And it said there have been zero in the NBA.
But last year the Celtics were down three to the Heat and they forced the
game seven. Sing a game seven is a big deal. You get where
this is momentum. And I thought Boston was going to win last year and
they didn't. But it's it's so it's never been done in the NBA and
just once in baseball, and because it's it's the finals, this would be
the biggest in the biggest comeback in in hockey history, really in in hockey,
baseball and basketball history, because it is the finals. Biggest sense if
you say, well, what about the leaves, this is bigger. You
know, it's a different game, they have to play more series, whatever
else. However, you I would say it's bigger now eighty two years later,
with all due respect to the forty two leaves. So that that's it.
Although if the Red Sox because of the rivalry between the Yankees and the
Red Sox, and you may hate the Yankees in the Red Sox rivalry,
it is it gets When it was happening, it was really shoved down the
rest of America's throat to the to almost a nauseating situation that you know,
you just couldn't every other game everybody talking, but you know, if you're
able to take a step back from that or hold your nose or whatever else,
you know, that was it had never happened in baseball, and you
know, and there we were, and then it did happen, and it
was pretty compelling, and that's it. You know, you you spend enough
time following sports and it was just like over this weekend, Now the Tigers,
they took two of three from the White Sox. Now the White Sox
are pitiful, They're the worst team in baseball. So you know, you
know, feel like it's a disappointment because it didn't sweep the worst team in
the majors. But if you follow enough baseball, you know how difficult it
is. It's difficult to sweep a team, even the worst team in baseball.
You follow it enough, you almost hear that one hundred times during the
year. That's just tough to sweep a team. And so you get to
the highest level in a Stanley Cup final and you know this is a three
game sweep to get a three to zero lead, that it's rare. And
I just know how I feel when a team gets down three to zero.
I look at it and yeah, it's over, because I do have history
in my mind, but I just also feel the the it's a disappointment.
Also, these guys have to feel the dejection where they just feel like they
have absolutely no hope. And I know that they're like, we just got
to go out and win the first shift in first period and then they go
from there. That's the kind of way they talk. I guess a fan,
you could talk like that too, but you can't help the you know,
like your your feelings about, well, this thing is just absolutely over.
But then to see them come back and just roll, you know,
after Game four, it's like Man eight one, you know whatever that was.
You know, the Mavericks they came back and pounded the Celtics a bout
like forty or fifty points or whatever it was to avoid the sweep. What
did Boston come back and do? Then they dropped a hammer on them they
were at home. The Panthers did not do that, as you know,
and then the Oilers forced this Game seven, and now the momentum is so
much Edmonton. I would think that the majority of the people out there,
you know, that's the tough part. You know what history says. I've
just talked about it for twenty minutes. Less than two percent of a chance.
If you're just talking about the Stanley Cup finals, it's less than that.
So if you're looking at the data, it'd be interesting that you know,
you're driving around Michigan and you're like, am I a data person or
am I a momentum person? Am I a left brain or am I a
right brain? Because if you're a numbers person, a history person, and
you look at it like that, you say, the Panthers are going to
win this game tonight. They're at home, and no team in eighty years,
over eighty years, has many able to do this. Meanwhile, if
you've watched this series, and you've watched these last three games, the way
that Edmonton has played, they are steamrolling the Panthers. Bbrowski, who's this
brick wall is now a sief and so now in the defense, and they
give up the first goal is and it is like they've got nothing. Their
heads are down talking about the Panthers. So you can, however you look
at it. That's the intriguing part of this. The odds makers have they're
the ones that don't care about history here. They don't care about them,
They don't caring about putting a line out here. They have Florida. They
have Florida as the slight, slight favorite. Now for me, when I
look at this thing here, uh tonight, I can recall there's been two
game seven since the Red Wings lost a Game seven in nine to the Penguins.
But I can remember, you know, being down there sifting through all
the numbers and what they said is that home heites really doesn't matter in the
Stanley Cup playoffs until a Game seven, and it really matters in a game
seven when you're at home in the Stanley Cup finals. The numbers were amazing,
not just talking about being down oh three, I'm talking about just game
sevens. And of course the Red Wings lost that one, so all of
that went out the window. So you know, the Panthers do have some
things to lean on home ice in history there. They've got two things,
a lot of history on their side. I don't know if that makes you
feel any better. I don't know how many p other fans are out there
all right. Coming up next big week for the Pistons and the NBA,
we'll touch on that a little bit. Ex'es and Rose on the Michigan Sports

I know. If you're Michigander, you're like, oh sweet, you
know Traverse City, let's go, or you know, mid Michigan. Some
of us feel like, you know, that's up north. Family has a
cottage and clear we feel like that is definitely up north. But our guess
that is coming up from. In the seven o'clock hour, Paul Woods,
the color analyst for the Detroit Red Wings, said, yeah, I'll be
driving back from up north tomorrow morning. And I should have said, you
know, like I don't know where are you coming from? Uh? You
know the upper who knows where he's coming from in Canada. All right,
though, we have been talking a lot of hockey with the game seven coming
up tonight between the Panthers and Oilers in Florida, and the question of the
day I'll be hitting on coming up at seven o'clock. I'll just recap my
favorite game seven, and I'm asking you your favorite Game seven or favorite Game
seven. Moment you can get to that. I'm going to turn my attention
to the NBA here this segment, but I present to you the opportunity of
open topics while I'm on That means, if you're really someone who wants to
talk about baseball, could be the Tigers, it could be the college baseball
because they have a Game three coming up tonight. Well you could jump on
in and I can handle it. I'll go from the NBA over to baseball,
to college baseball. If you're somebody that watched golf yesterday or the WNBA
and you wanted to get into that, well that's why I say it's open
topics for you. I'm trying to guide you along thinking what would be the
biggest stories. But is also why we present to you the open topic situation
here eight six six eight forty three on the Meyer Hotline. If you want
to take advantage of that, eight six six eight three eight forty eight forty
three. Can also speaking of taking advantage, hit the text by texting sports
radio all one word no space between sports and radio to twenty one thousand.
You type that your thoughts they're on the text and they come to us and
we read them over the air and we handle it that way. So yeah,
a bunch of different ways to get involved. You can also if you're
somebody who enjoys social media. I don't know, as the weeks go by,
it seems like more people don't like social media or like to complain about
social media. But whatever however you feel about that, you could text x'es
and bros. At XB mornings. I'm on Twitter at Dennis fifty and so
all of that is there for you. The NBA is fascinating in a lot
of ways. Now. If you're a Celtics fan and you know, it's
been a great season, one other championship, coronation parade, get ready,
it's all great. But the rest of the NBA, you know, now
gets ready for a big week in the draft coming up on Wednesday, and
then free agency, which technically for the NBA is Sunday. Oh, they
start talking, I would guess, you know, I don't know how much
they want to, you know, cross their wires from to Wednesday, but
after Wednesday in the draft, certainly by Friday, and they're already have been
players that like I don't know Maleikue Monk. He says he's staying with Sacramento.
Pascal Siakam, who's at the top of the list of anybody who would
want one of the big time free agents, you know, he says he's
gonna take the max deal at Indiana. So we've already seen some of that.
We'll see a lot more of that. Even though we're talking about Sunday
when it could officially happen, they are already wheeling and dealing behind the scenes.
So it's just official coming up on Sunday. So we'll hear a lot
about pending free agents and where they're going, and also the draft on Wednesday.
But you add in that the Pistons have a new GM. I mean,
they're the worst team in the league, but they you know, that's
why they have a new GM, That's why they are going to have a
new coach and they've got a top pick. Will they have a coach in
place by Wednesday? I would think that they would want to do that.
I would think that Trajan Langdon would want to bring in a coach that's going
to have a say and what they're going to want to do in the draft
this week. And then of course with free agency. That's why having it,
you know, not firing Monte Williams until last week was a little curious
that they couldn't get that done before because if we're just you know, talking
about the best way to do things, we can all agree that you do
want to get that coach in before that. But hey, it is the
Pistons, and it doesn't mean that this new era is getting off on the
wrong foot. But how much of a benefit of the doubt that they really
get considering how they've operated over the past ten fifteen years. Not a whole
lot you do get. You know, you don't want to just completely throw
these guys overboard and say, oh it's this is the same old Pistons under
Tom Gorris or whatever else. But that is there for them. Anyways,
as far as the coaches go, I think the top guy that if I
could just pick and say, okay, this one, this seems like the
best case scenario. This seems like the best guy. It's Trajan Langdon,
who was down in the New Orleans organization. Their assistant head coach, James
Barrego won two titles with the Spurs, and then he has been the public
assistant head coach, and so you work under Popovich, you're with you have
the connection with Langdon as a Pelican's assistant, he seemed like he would be
one option. The t Wolves assistant who's a former Piston's assistant is out there,
Nori Uh. He's a as a never of those doesn't matter. But
he's a funny guy, a lot of quips, a lot of you know,
a lot of fun post games. If he would be in there,
that doesn't matter for the team on there, you might be a fan.
You like that where it's gonna be, He's gonna have some fun. Another
former Pistons assistant is a guy named Sweeney who was along with Jason Kidd going
to the NBA Finals this year and was also with Kid when he was with
the Bucks. And then there's Jay be Bickerstaff who's got some previous head coaching
experience. Those are the ones that you would like to see one of those
guys tabbed before Wednesday and the draft. Now, the draft is not all
that interesting compared to where the draft has been, but at this draft,
the NBA Draft has been going this way for a couple of years. Back
in the day, the NBA Draft was a gigantic night. It was as
much fun as the NFL Draft. I know, you know, if you're
younger, you could say what are you talking about? But it was like
that you had watched ninety percent if not more, of these players that are
all going to get taken in the draft, and you know you've you had
a good feel about him. Now you don't have any of that percent of
the player you have not watched. And then you add in that this year,
yeah, the Atlanta Hawks have the number one pick, but this was
not the year that you wanted the number one pick. You add tense.
This is like having the Hawks in a regular year having the number ten pick.
Pistons at five, this is like having the fifteenth pick. So it's
a light draft. Just how the experts have looked at it and what they
say about it. I'd buy that now when I add the ten picks out
there, So the Pistons like have the number fifteenth, number fifteen, even
though they have number five. It immediately made me think of you know,
you can still we might not know, and we might not know for a
couple of years, but you know, two players pretty recently taken at number
fifteen in the NBA Draft, Kawhi Leonard, who went on to win an
NBA title with Toronto, and then Giannis the Greek Freak, was taken at
fifteen by the Buck. So you know, yeah, it's a light draft
on paper as we take a look at it, but you can find guys
and yeah, I mean you can go back and start talking about that,
Well, the Joker was taken to the second round. That's all true.
I was just trying to give you a little feel for it as you head
into Wednesday. But I looked a lot at the draft yesterday and this is
what I think is the best case scenario for the Pistons. I think this
draft revolves around the San Antonio Spurs. They won the lottery and they got
Wemby last year, and he's French and it just so happens that three of
the top prospects in the NBA Draft the French, and so San Antonio wanting
to surround Wembin Yama with you know, they want to make him happy.
He he loves France, He's got connections with these players. I'm thinking that
they want one, if not two of these top frenchmen that are going to
be available in the draft. On Wednesday. Now that's not a sure thing,
but it just so happens that the Pistons is talked about, and you
probably know they're at number five. Well, San Antonio has four and eight.
If one of those Frenchmen fall to four, maybe the Spurs would want
to give the Pistons a future number one to grab the other frenchmen. They
would. They might be a little nervous that he might not be there at
eight. You might roll your eyes and say that's too much to give up
for a couple of spots. But when you add in lottery protection and you
think about just how wembin Yama was last year and how how important it would
be. I don't know how important it really is to wembin Yama or the
Spurs organization, but it might be. It's just a thought of mine that
maybe the Pistons could pick up a future one by moving from five to eight,
and the Spurs could go and they they could potentially get two of these
top frenchmen, Zachary Orris Archer Hell, he could be number one, Alex
sar Uh he could be two. And then who's the other one? Tid
John Salon? Who you know, if you're looking you know, the odds,
the odds makers have a Archer and sar the two Frenchmen you know,
going one two right now. But could one of those guys fall the forb
easily? Easily it could happen. And then Salon who's looked at anywhere from
I don't know ten around around that area. Well, you know, because
of the there's not a lot of sure things as we take a look at
this, very easily I could see it. That's that's my thought on the
on the Pistons, the possibility of moving back and with the the spurs right
there now, if you do want to take a look at it. I
also cranked out a bunch of different mock drafts yesterday and taking a look at
it and from Yahoo to ESPN, to the Ringer, to Bleacher Report to
the Athletic one, two, three, four, five different sources, four
of them all have mocked drafted the Pistons to get the Lithuanian nineteen year old
Bousellis Matthias Boucellis, Matthaeus Boussellus. So that's who the people that cover the
Pistons or even league wide, that's how they think it's going to fall.
So boozellis the Lithuanian. I believe he just grew up in Chicago, though,
but I've watched two three minutes of him playing for the G League Ignite
last year, and he's rail thin, he's nineteen. He's not like this
knockdown shoot or anything. But you know, that's that's the kind of draft
that we're in. That's where it's at, and that's where the majority of
the experts think that he is going to fall to the Pistons. Now for
me, and since I don't, you know, I watched two minutes of
Boussellus, I watched a lot more of college basketball, so I would say,
you know, if there was if Trajan Langdon he says, Hey,
you know, you hadn't watched any of these French guys. You hadn't watched
the Lithuanian. You watch two minutes of the guy from McKnight, but you've
watched a couple of games of college basketball fifty and who do you pick?
I'd say, how about Reed Shepherd, the six' three knockdown shooter from
the Kentucky Wildcats. How about him? That would be He's the guy that
I am rooting for for the Pistons to take now. Is there anything that's
intriguing with the draft? Trying to set it up for you here on Wednesday
after the Pistons and where they might go. I think there's two names for
me that I'll be watching. Will I be sitting there all night watching the
NBA Draft? Probably Zach Edy. Ronto Raptors don't have a first round pick,
but Zach Edy, the big man, the two time player of the
Year in college basketball from Purdue. He is Canadian. Toronto would do well
by getting Eatie. If if I was in Canada right now, I'd be
pounding the phone line. Let's get Zach Edie. Let's move up. How
far they have to move up? That's the question. Last year at this
time, if you talked about Zach Edy being a first round pick, and
he laughed at you don't know. You don't know basketball. He doesn't do
any of the stuff that they're looking for in the NBA. He doesn't shoot
from outside, he's got stone feet, he can't move. But he's answered
that kind of criticism with how he performed last year, moved a little bit
better, and then what he's been able to do in these workouts. He's
moved himself into the first round. Take it from me. He'll go in
the first round. I'm ninety nine percent sure that that's going to happen.
So Toronto's going to have to move up how far it's it's interesting and for
me Edie, do I think he's going to take over the league? Would
I take him in the lottery? No? But do I think he could
be a ten minute impact player coming in at seven four, swat and shot,
somebody that could command double teams, somebody that could develop. It looks
like, you know, he's a good free throw shooter. His jumper looks
pretty good, you know, and sometimes when you're seven to four, you
don't have to, you know, have a step back and you just have
to knock him down. And he's got a pretty good looking stroke already.
I could see that that could be more than the ten minute impact that I'm
selling there. But he's going to go, So that's something to keep an
eye on. Then the other one is not something that I really latched onto
at all in the spring, but as we get closer to wedness, it
is something to keep an eye on. I guess they do a two day
thing now for the first round. And second round, and that's Lebron James's
son, Bronni. If another team would take them to try to screw with
Lebron James, or if the Lakers actually are like you know, you know,
JJ Reddick's coming in here and everything else. But will Lebronni James,
not Lebronni I'm sorry, Bronni actually go to the Lakers. And that's the
intrigue for the second round. But that's the intrigue. That's where it's at,
and that's how in what I'm looking at free agency. We'll get to
that a little bit later. I've got some ideas in a move that I
would like to see the Pistons make when it comes down, I've got a
handful of players I think that they could take a run at, and that's
what I would like to see. But coming up next, I ask you
to think about it and then call up your favorite Game seven or favorite Game
seven moment. We will get to that straight ahead. Also coming up at
seven eighteen, we'll talk with a Red Wings color analyst, Paul Woods here
on Exis and Bros. And a Michigan Sports Network. Hey Michigan, let's
go, baby, I'm humming more Alliance all Pro wide receiver and I'm talking

argued for a long time that Michigan is the most crazed golf state in the
country. Our window to play golf isn't very wide, is it. So
when you get that opportunity to have that golf outing with your buddies like I
have, and I treasure it. I mean, it's one of my favorite
things to do. You want to find a place that is going to treat
you right, be worth it, and accommodate you in more ways than just
golf totally. More is that it's the experience that you would have of a
golf outing lifetime. It is so prestigious, it is so beautiful. It
gives you two championship courses totally more and Saint Ives. It gives you a
place to stay where you can relax, unwind, enjoy the scenery. It's
luxurious and it's all affordable. It's as good as it gets just about an
hour north of Grand Rapids, not even that depending on who's driving. But
I mean it is a spectacular round of golf and a chance to unwind afterwards.
You've been to places right with your friends where you've played golf and it's
been good, right, and then afterwards you're looking around and go, what
are we going to you now? These accommodations aren't that great? We stayed
here for the golf. You get both at Tullymore. Don't settle for anything
less. You don't get an opportunity to do this very often, so when
you do, go with the best. Go to Tullymore and you can go
to Tullymoregolf dot com to make your reservations. Today, what's up, Michigan.
