Sean Baligian and Michael Bochenek dive headfirst into the Detroit Tigers’ 2025 collapse and Scott Harris’s now-infamous “privilege” comments. From a failed trade deadline and fading stars to fans who keep defending mediocrity, Sean and Michael lay bare the hard truths about a franchise stuck in neutral.

They take on Tarik Skubal’s uncertain future, the illusion of “progress” in the AL Central, and why Detroit’s baseball apologists might be the team’s biggest problem. Plus, a quick spin through Michigan football chaos, Lions takeaways, and a little Baker Mayfield redemption arc.

Brutally honest. Deeply Detroit. Off The Air, uncensored.

It was a brutal weekend for Michigan sports fans, and Sean Baligian isn’t holding back. From the Lions’ late-night loss in Kansas City to Michigan State’s collapse in East Lansing and the Tigers’ disappointing end-of-season presser, Sean and Todd dig into all of it.

Sean breaks down why the Lions’ loss isn’t the end of the world—but the Tigers’ trade deadline failures and Scott Harris’s spin are a different story. He questions whether Jonathan Smith and Sherrone Moore are the right long-term answers for their programs, praises Dylan Larkin’s leadership, and shares his frustrations with Detroit’s “apologist” culture in sports management.

It was an ugly day in Michigan college football. Sean Baligian breaks down a disastrous Saturday for both Michigan and Michigan State — from the Spartans’ collapse in East Lansing to the Wolverines’ playoff hopes taking a major hit out west. He questions whether Jonathan Smith’s time at MSU is nearing an end, if Sherrone Moore is the right guy to lead Michigan post-Harbaugh, and why James Franklin’s Penn State squad continues to spiral.

Sean also looks around the national landscape, highlighting surprise contenders like Miami and Georgia Tech, and revisiting his take on why a three-loss at-large team still isn’t making the playoff. He closes with a little Detroit Tigers talk, frustration at the trade deadline, and a dose of hockey sanity to end a brutal football weekend.

Listen in for unfiltered, honest analysis — the kind only Sean Baligian delivers — plus your comments, questions, and cathartic venting after a rough week in local sports.
