6 days ago The Detroit Tigers iconic Old English 'D' has been worn on the team's uniforms well over 100 years, but I always thought if you saw one Old English 'D', you've seen them all.
How wrong I was.
4 weeks ago In honor of Michigan being named the cheapest place to buy beer in the nation, my listeners and I came up with this list of cheap beers you drank when times were tough.
But let's face it, times are ALWAYS tough. And while many of these brews no longer exist, they live on in our deep, dank memories. Bad, bad memories.
June 8, 2017 This week marked the 20th anniversary of the Detroit Red Wings winning the Stanley Cup for the first time in 42 years, resurrecting the Motor City into a hockey mecca.
Guess what? According to this survey, it still is, in spite of what that whiny friend from Chicago tells you.
June 5, 2017 Remember when you could kill an hour easy just perusing the Radio Shack at the Woodland Mall while you waited for your Mom and sister to get done school shopping?
Radio Shack put a bunch of stuff found in their offices up for grabs on the internet. So if you need a 1984 answering machine or a drawer full of remotes, this is the place to go.
May 26, 2017 In 1974, computers were known for helping with business applications and for the aerospace programs, but they were not known for helping with day to day function like human speech.
April 23, 2017 Erin Moran, who starred in the role of Joanie Cunningham on TV's "Happy Days", died on Saturday, April 22nd, 2017. She was 56. The cause of death was not immediately known.
April 21, 2017 Festival season is upon us again, and every small town to big city in our fair state has planned an event just for you! That is if you have a Jeep or like to eat sucker.
April 11, 2017 Is there a more appropriate place for Bob Probert's ashes other than the Joe Louis Arena penalty box?
I'm not positive because I didn't know the man personally, but if his wife thinks it's the best the place, who are we to disagree.
April 11, 2017 For the second time in as many days, a Detroit sports team bid goodbye to their home arena. This time it was the Pistons bidding adieu to the Palace of Auburn Hills, a place where they won three NBA championships.
April 10, 2017 For almost 40 years, Joe Louis Arena was the home of the Detroit Red Wings. A home that gave the Wings four Stanley Cups and had the word 'Hockeytown' emblazoned on the ice.
Yesterday, they said goodbye to the old tin barn down by the river.
April 3, 2017 The date was Tuesday, April 3rd, 1956. A huge storm was brewing in the Midwest that would set its sights on West Michigan. The strongest tornado to ever hit Michigan would pay a visit that day. These tornadoes were part of a tornado outbreak that took place on April 2-3, 1956, across the Midwest and the Great Lakes regions.
March 29, 2017 For the first time since the 1990 season, the Wings will not be a part of the NHL Playoffs. After 25 straight trips, the string is over.

Oh, we had tons of fun...
