Episode 69: What a difference a week (or two) makes.

Just kidding, Michigan and the Lions are back!


We discuss the last wins of both teams, starting with Michigan's impressive win over Nebraska. What did we think of the Bryce's performance and what does it mean going forward? Is it coincidence or an alarming trend Michigan has played it's best without Sherrone Moore?

The Lions are back on track after the win over the Ravens on MNF. What did we think of the performance? Any negatives? And is this sustainable going forward? How much of the Lions success should be attributed to Dan Campbell?

The Tigers might not make the playoffs after being up by over 8 games less than two weeks ago. Will they still make the playoffs? And where is the leadership in the clubhouse?

I host athlete 20 questions.

The Motown Family Sports Rant is a weekly dose of Detroit sports conversation straight from the living room. Hosted by Craig Hutcheon alongside his two sons, this podcast captures the unfiltered, often hilarious dynamic of a family deeply invested in the fortunes-and frequent misfortunes-of their hometown teams. You’ll hear three generations dissect the Lions, Tigers, Red Wings, and Pistons with a mix of passionate analysis, generational perspectives, and the kind of heated debate that only relatives can have. The tone is less polished sports radio and more like eavesdropping on a kitchen table argument after a tough loss or an unexpected win. While knowledge and strong opinions are plentiful, so is the inevitable good-natured ribbing, especially when dad confidently butchers a player’s name. It’s this authentic, chaotic, and heartfelt family chemistry that defines every episode. Tune in for the sports talk, but stay for the relatable family moments, the shared history of Michigan fandom, and the genuine laughter that comes from knowing your co-hosts will never let you forget a bad take. This is a podcast for anyone who understands that sports are as much about the people you watch them with as the games themselves.
