On this episode of the Motown Rundown: Ryan Rabinowitz, Ryan Collins and Trent Balley have a fully-loaded show! The show opens with some banter about KISS, Kevin James and summer plans. As the first order of Motown business, the guys react to Pistons coach Dwane Casey's contract extension through the 2023-24 season (7:38). Then, with the conclusion of the Red Wings' season, Rabs gives a thorough wrap-up of the team's 2020-21 campaign (16:34) before he and Collins give some insight on coach Jeff Blashill's murky future (37:38). Next, they hop back on the optimism train with the Tigers, as the club has gone 4-1 since the guys were upset (to put it lightly) a week ago (47:24). Finally, they react to the Lions' schedule release (1:03:22) and give some way-too-early record predictions for the 2021 season (1:05:52). TB wraps up the show with a quick edition of "Trent's Trifecta" (1:15:05).
