Episode 72: The Jekyll and Hyde season(s) continue

Episode 72: The Jekyll and Hyde season(s) continue

Author: Craig Hutcheon November 6, 2025 Duration: 57:43

The Lions continue their up and down season by losing to the Vikings after the bye week. Is it cause for panic or a natural part of a long season? The NFL trade deadline also came and went with the Lions making zero moves. Is Brad Holmes making the right decisions? Or is it time to get more aggressive?


Michigan has won it's last two games, but in underwhelming fashion. Is Bryce regressing? Who's fault is it if he is? Is Moore the man to lead this team going forward?


The Pistons and Red Wings have started out hot, as has Michigan's hockey season. We talk about their success before touching on the Tigers off-season plans, then dad hosts 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.
