An unexpected and involuntary summer hiatus for Eno and Big Al comes to an end, the guys returning with rants aplenty!\n\nThe show kicks off with a discussion of the Detroit Tigers and Kansas City Royals, the Tigers taking first place in the AL Cental thanks to winning 6-of-7 games while the Royals were treading water. The question raised and debated is if the pressure of a pennant race adversely affecting the Royals and their under-fire manager, Ned Yost?\n\nMoving on to the NFL, the Jerks talk Detroit Lions, who looked like world beaters in knocking off the New York Giants on Monday Night Football, then turing into the "Same old Lions" while losing badly to the Carolina Panthers. The guys also give their takes on the recent stumbles of the NFL, Commissioner Roger Goodell, Ray Rice and Adrian Peterson - Love the game, hate the league?\n\nEno and Big Al also cover the latest stuggles of the Big Ten and Michigan football, Greg Monroe turning down big, long-term money from the Detroit Pistons in order to sign a qualifying offer and become an unrestricted free agent in 2015, and Fox Sports Detroit experimenting with a 3-man booth, adding Jack Morris to the Tigers' broadcast team for 6 games this past week.\n\nThere's all that and more, including "Whose Birthday Is It?" and our "Jerk of the Week!"\n\nLong-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 is released every Monday on the Sports Geeks Radio Network!
