The Knee Jerks - Eno and Big Al - Red Wings broadcaster Ken Kal

Approyo

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! This week's podcast features a very special guest - Detroit Red Wings radio play-by-play man Ken Kal, the voice of hockey in Detroit for the past 2 decades. We talk to Ken about his life in broadcasting, the ins and outs of play-by-play and touch on the latest Red Wings news. In the second half of the show, we deep dive into the latest Red Wings, Tigers and Lions news. Topics include: Ken Holland and the Detroit Red Wings release their expansion draft protected list, raising questions about the future of their surprisingly unprotected number 1 goalie, Petr Mrazek.The Detroit Tigers have issues with their frustrated fan base and in the standings, while playing the victim in the media as Fox Sports Detroit adds to a toxic mix. Meanwhile, K-Rod complains to the media about his role (but can't back up his talk) and Victor Martinez is hospitalized.The Detroit Lions lose left tackle Taylor Decker 4-6 months due to a shoulder injury, and scramble to temporarily fill the position via the open market. As always, Eno and Big Al also play The Birthday Game and name their Jerk of the Week!
