The Pistons officially named Trajan Langdon as their new President of Basketball Operations on Friday and things could not have gone much worse. Langdon seems like a really good hire and hopefully could be the man that can restore Detroit basketball however Owner Tom Gores once again stole the show in embarrassing fashion. Not only were Gores and t…

The Tigers are in a tailspin and quickly have found themselves out of the playoff race. With virtually no core members there is little belief that Detroit can contend next season. So what do you do with Ace Tarik Skubal who has 2 seasons of control remaining after this year and could potentially win the Cy Young Award. 97.1 The Ticket’s Pat Caputo …

The Tigers season is slipping away. They’re not making the playoffs. They’re not a good team. And, they really should trade Ace Tarik Skubal to help speed up their rebuild. However, we know all this! What today’s podcast is about is how the Houston Astros totally disregarded their fans and really their players in a game against the Tigers yesterday…

It’s been about a week since the Tigers sent Spencer Torkelson down to the minor leagues and he’s been hitting, like a ton. Tork recently took some time to do his first interview since his demotion and he was very revealing. Are his issues more mechanical or mental? How tough was it to find out he was getting sent down? Where is his confidence leve…

There’s not a ton to talk about in the month of June when you make a living being in Sports Radio. Some have stopped watching the Tigers, many don’t care about the NHL or NBA Finals and football season seems way too far away. So, when it comes to topics, you do hear a lot of NFL related opinions. How good can the Lions be? Is it really Super Bowl o…

Everybody has an opinion about the Detroit Tigers. Some fans are happy with the progress the team has made this season while others are frustrated that it seems like another lost year.

The Detroit Tigers announced that former Tigers Manager Jim Leyland will be getting his number 10 retired on August 3rd of this season. Seems like a great reason for a celebration, right? But, not according to everyone. There is a significant part of the fan base that believes that Leyland getting his number retired actually cheapens the wall fille…

It had to happen and the Tigers knew it. First Baseman Spencer Torkelson was sent to Triple-A Toledo after struggling severely over the course of the season. A month ago the team denied even thinking about sending the former first overall pick down however things have gotten so bad recently that they had no choice. The Team has called up Justyn-Hen…

As the Lions wrapped up their second week of OTA’s, Detroit Offensive Coordinator Ben Johnson stepped to the podium yesterday to address the media and he could not have been more honest or insightful.

Everybody has an opinion about what the Detroit Tigers should have done this season to make them a more competitive team.

The Tigers iconic Old English D has to be the greatest logo in sports, so why is the team benching them in flavor of the new alternate City Connect Uniforms? The answer is easy! They’re winning! Detroit has won 3 straight after a 5 game skid and will wear the new, uglier uniforms until they drop a ballgame or maybe 2? If Detroit wins their next 2 g…

The Lions went from playing 6 playoff teams last season to 8 this year and they open the season against their former QB, Matthew Stafford on Sunday Night Football. Jeff Riger breaks down the …

It’s a Detroit tradition…whining about the Comerica Park dimensions. Home players have done it like Nick Castellanos, Juan Gonzalaez, Victor Martinez and Miguel Cabrera and so have visiting players.

Jeff Riger brings you one of the more interesting questions that you might have never heard? Who needs who more? Does Jared Goff need the Lions more? Do the Lions need the QB more?

While most Tigers fans are focusing on Spencer Torkelson as the problem with Detroits offense, Jeff Riger blames someone else…President Of Baseball Operations Scott Harris.
