00:07city of detroit goes by many names the motor city motown detroit rock city how about the
00:15most stressed city business insider has dubbed us the most stressed city in the country what
00:23plays into that oh i mean things like you know work stress family stress i have to imagine
00:29sports teams play a factor in your stress level so i'd love to hear from our listeners today and
00:36john we're going to ask the question which sports storyline is stressing you out most
00:46um god there's so many take your pick i mean look if you lay this out there you could point
00:51out that
00:52our baseball team is indecisive well i don't know there's no direction baseball because it's the one
01:02that's most current i think the one that is the most exhausting because it's been going on literally
01:11for two years when it was hey they traded flaherty to the dodgers at that time we were talking about
01:17should they trade tarik skubel he hadn't even won a cy young yet he was in the middle of his
01:22first
01:23cy young season but this is the one that is the most exhausting i think the storyline for me that
01:31is stressing me out the most and and you tell me if this breaks the rules there's no rules john
01:38do what
01:38you want it is the trade deadline storyline for all the teams for all the teams because it's it do
01:47we
01:47buy do we sell we we've we have all these scenarios and we have this anticipation hey the the lions
01:54are
01:54the one seat what do they need well hey aiden hudginson's out do they go get a an edge and
01:58they
01:59they actually did yeah but it didn't push them forward and then it's last year with trajan langdon
02:08it's been a few years with scott harris and i mean what do we say about steve eiserman and the
02:16trade
02:16deadline these days like that is the one every time we get close to it and even when at the
02:21beginning
02:21of the season what were we talking about with the with the tigers well hey they could stay in it
02:26long
02:26enough just to get to the trade deadline we were talking about the trade deadline before they even
02:30threw the first pitch so the trade deadline stresses you out as a sports fan more than any
02:35other story because it's it's something that it feels like it's something that we bring up
02:39on nearly every single show throughout the course of the year now that's not the case
02:45but it sure does feel like it look i i would love to see where the majority of the responses
02:50are
02:51because i think this is one of those questions that has seemingly unlimited answers i mentioned our
02:55baseball team's bipolar directionless nobody knows what the hell's going on at the center of that
02:59is skuble skuble is exhausting in and of itself but then if we're talking about athletes that are
03:04exhausting how about the captain of the detroit red wings how about hockey town at large which is burning
03:09a general manager who was fired late in the game and still no moves there another offseason of
03:14nothing how about offseasons of nothing trajan langdon mr margins what you take your pick and we just
03:21got done talking kirby joseph does the the health of our football team stress you out does the lack
03:26of moves in the secondary stress you out does the weight of trying to win a title with this core
03:31stress you out you tell us but maybe it all comes back to that two word trade deadline 248-539
03:39-9797
03:40we're the most stressed city in america and yeah it could be because of things at home but
03:45let's play in our sandbox the world of sports i just i mean and we hear it from our listeners
03:52all
03:52the time it's not like we're always the ones that bring it up but it's hey you go out and
03:56you sign
03:56framber valdez you bring in jv in response to reese olsen and you spend the money on the pitching staff
04:05you bring in kenley jansen and then it's even before the season started we said hey the pitching staff
04:14should be dominant the pitching staff should get us to the trade deadline and then you're going to add
04:19that bat and before the season even starts with hockey we're talking about what do you got to do
04:27to be buyers at the deadline like that to me is it's the one thing that none of our teams
04:34seem to
04:34participate in yet we discuss all the way up until the moment it happens or doesn't happen
04:44the one for me is the red wings just because because you're a a card carrying member a paying
04:51client pcc paying customer costa but also i i love this hockey team and they are the least relevant
04:59they took a proud branding of hockey town slapped it on center ice and did the collapse again
05:05the gm's out late legends gone captain still wants out no answers no offseason to speak of
05:11the gears aren't turning the engine's dead that that is the other ones can be interesting in pure in
05:19pockets right like the pistons can be interesting in this discussion the problem is it drags on
05:23the lions could be interesting the tigers deadline can be interesting there the red wings aren't offering
05:29me anything it's tough to be a wings fan it certainly is 248-539-9797 uh before we get some
05:38responses what sports story stressing you out the most we're the most stressed city
05:42in the country on the kirby joseph story kirby's knee is screwed he will never play more than eight
05:49to ten games in a season that's sawyer in howell 11 months of rehab and he still can't play how
05:55is
05:56there anything positive to this john 10 months of rehab and you're going to give him two more weeks
06:01to help him he's done no no it's not two weeks to help him it's just two weeks if the
06:05plan was
06:06hey you're a vet you're not you're not some rookie that's coming in trying to learn the nfl
06:13but we don't want you to practice for the first two weeks so we're going to make it impossible for
06:18you to practice for the first two weeks whatever that length is yeah if there was a prop bet for
06:24how
06:24many working knees kirby will have for this season and it was set at one and a half i'm taking
06:28the over
06:28i believe jameel in a truck okay all right uh texas uh no twitch comment says i don't get stressed
06:36about things that i can't control yeah but have you ever been a sports fan yeah i'm with you jim
06:42on
06:42the wings right now like i can't believe that there is zero like there's no smoke at all on who
06:49the gm's
06:49gonna be why did they wait so long on eiserman why don't they have another name ready why is dylan
06:57larkin still here why is the offseason consist of absolutely nothing yeah edmondson still unsigned
07:05the brinkets in the final year of a deal i'm supposed to celebrate victor arvidson like that's
07:10my life as a red wing fan that is stressful the reason my answer isn't the tigers and the deadline
07:15and school i'm exhausted from it right the stress is gone i'm ready to tap out okay well they did
07:21this
07:21weekend right splitting with kansas city they did it for you so when when they moved steve eiserman
07:31up or he moved out whatever you want to say it removed some of the stress for me simply because
07:38now i can i can sit there and say okay we're entering a rebuild of a rebuild right there's
07:43direction yeah and there's less expectation going into this season can they parlay dylan larkin into
07:49what the lions did with matthew stafford completely different level yeah but can they get a return
07:55that that propels them to future stanley cup championships or at least being in the stanley
08:03cup playoffs yeah i mean current stressors would be are they going to screw up this scoobal thing are
08:08they going to do what's right and trade him can trade and keep up in the east current stressors are
08:12what's going on with my safeties do we have any hope of having both healthy it's 97 one
