Matt Shepard and Sean Baligian break down a jam-packed week in sports, starting with the unlikely World Series story of the Toronto Blue Jays’ rookie phenom and the economics shaping baseball’s future. The conversation shifts to the Tigers’ uphill climb, looming MLB labor tensions, and what’s really coming in 2027.

From there, Shep and Sean turn their attention to the gridiron, from Heisman chatter and college football chaos to Michigan State’s search for the right coach (and why “safe hires” never win big). They wrap with a deep dive into the Detroit Lions’ rise as one of the NFL’s smartest franchises and a heartwarming hockey moment that’ll change how you see Brad Marchand.

Smart, sharp, and packed with passion — this week’s Shep & Sean is a must-listen for Detroit sports fans.
