Before every fall Monday show when I worked at the flagship, we’d get a flood of calls begging us not to talk Detroit Lions football. When our show began, we were flooded with calls about Detroit Lions football. That is how I knew Lions football was king in Detroit. That played out in our latest…
Gordie Howe did not make the list. Neither did Al Kaline, Steve Yzerman or Joe Louis. There is a reason they were omitted from a poll of Woodward Sports Network personalities and nitwits to name the all-time best athletes in Detroit history.

Detroit’s fifth-round pick Kendrick Law has the athleticism to make highlight reels — a 42-inch vertical, 21 bench press reps, and the ability to literally hurdle two defenders on one play.
