Same old Lions; Playing bad teams + gambling on college sports; Detroit City FC upset win

All things Detroit sports. First, despite the hype of the HBO Hard Knocks special, Fletcher Sharpe talks about how the Lions are still the Lions and he has a low opinion on their season. Second, we talk about Michigan on the podcast (Michigan State, too) and whether we should be playing teams we can blow out, and instead teams that matter. Plus, should we bet on college sports at all? Finally, Detroit City FC. Le Rouge had an upset win over the Colorado Switchback over the weekend. Fletche...

Media today; Finding common ground; The Detroit region's future + more ft. Craig Fahle

Today's show is a conversation with Craig Fahle. His voice, if you’ve been following the Detroit conversation for awhile, should sound familiar to you. He’s a long-time radio host and now communications professional. His newest thing for your ears is the VVK podcast, an occasional show that does deep dives into important and interesting issues. Me and Craig have talked without microphones around a number of times, but this is the first time we’ve taken it on air. And there’s a wide-range we c...

Should Detroit restaurants have public grades?; Historic Unity Bell refurbished; Buick wants dealers all-in on EVs

Today's show is in three parts. Detroit could get public restaurant grades in windows, whether it's a letter grade like some cities or a color scale. Should we? What do you think? The Detroit Unity Bell is being officially unveiled this week. A cool piece of Detroit history, restored. Plus, Buick wants its dealers to go all-EV. Some dealers are hesitant, and GM is offering to buy them out. Feedback - dailydetroit - at - gmail - dot - com You can become a monthly member on Patreon: https://w...

Auto InsuranceTodd BergMichigan Auto Law

Part of Michigan's 2019 no-fault auto insurance reform was ruled unconstitutional. What's next? (ft. Todd Berg)

Attorney Todd Berg from Michigan Auto Law joins me to talk about the impact of the Michigan Court of Appeals ruling last week that part of the massive no-fault auto insurance reform passed in 2019 was deemed unconstitutional. So what's next? What about catastrophic claims? Did we misguidedly give away too much from the claims fund? What about when crash victims who have been getting services since before the 2019 reform - when might they get help? And what about costs, have they gone down for d...
