The Knee Jerks: Eno and Big Al - Calvin Johnson retires, Red Wings stagnant

Approyo

This week The Knee Jerks thoroughly cover the retirement of Detroit Lions' wide receiver Calvin Johnson and GM Bob Quinn's signings in the first week of NFL free agency. Then talk of the Detroit Red Wings' playoff chances turns into a wide ranging discussion of the current state of the Red Wings franchise, asking if keeping the playoff streak alive is causing the team to become stagnant and complacent. The guys end the show giving thewir takes on the controversy swirling around Bryce Harper ripping baseball's "unwritten rules" and Goose Gossage essentially yelling "get off my lawn" by calling Harper's comments "disrepectful" and saying on-field celebrating is "acting like a fool," while breaking out the "NERDS" card about advanced metrics. Eno and Big Al also play The Birthday Game and name their Jerk of the Week! Long-time Detroit sports bloggers and podcasters, Greg Eno (aka the man who knows a lot of things about a lot of things), and Big Al Beaton are The Knee Jerks! Eno and Big Al's podcast archive can be found the Sports Geeks Radio Network.
