Valenti and TJ Lang (in for Rico) spent the majority of today's show with their reactions to what Dylan Larkin (didn't) have to say during his comments to the media today. They heard from a bunch of equally frustrated Red Wings fans while they also mixed in some Lions talk ahead of their Thursday Night Football matchup against the Bills.

09/17/2026 | 38 mins.
Mike and TJ jumped right into Dylan Larkin's comments to the media today, in which he refused to address his trade request from the Red Wings earlier this offseason. They closed out the first hour with some NFL takes and whether each was an overreaction or no reaction.
HOUR 2: Can The Lions Pull Off The Upset Tonight? + Further Reactions To Larkin's Comments
09/17/2026 | 38 mins.
