Fumblin' Around Detroit Sports

Lincoln Park's finest middle school teacher Mr. Brian Amorose joins Stiner on this episode. The two talk high school sports as football is now moved to the spring, as Coach Amorose and Stineman try their best in leading young men during a pandemic. We also talk about schools opening up with some disagreements. Knowing you can't judge or shame anyone on how they feel, but instead coming together as safety for the community is the number one priority.

Alex Fast joins Fumblin' Around to talk a lot of baseball. Alex is one of the best fantasy analyst and host of Around the Corner podcast for Pitcherlist.

This episode features mostly college football talk around Michigan and Michigan State. Will Michigan put it all together finally under Harbaugh? We know MSU has a top ranked defense from last season, but can that putrid offense from last year turn it around? It will need to if they want a chance at the Big Ten Title? We mention other Detroit teams, you know on how bad they all suck. Very fun episode! Back to the Future Fantasy Baseball starts at 1 hour and 39 minutes into the recording. We are heading into the last week of the season and things are up for grabs more than ever. So many teams are vying for spots in the playoffs.

What an amazing episode, everyone should give this week's guest Caitlyn Shea a listen. Farm team member, hockey lover, former tom boy, and just all around bad ass Caitlyn joins Stiner and they discuss being not naturally talented at improvising instead both had to work hard and go through bombing (trying to be funny but ends up being cringy and hard to watch). Would you rather be naturally talented or have to work hard for something? Hey guess what Tigers and Lions still suck! Jay Z is joining the NFL and some our upset about Colin Kaepernick situation including Eric Reid of the NFL. Stiner is losing it guys and conspiracies run amuck.

Look I try not to be a conspiracy theorist, I like real data. But somethings just don't add up. Tim Dockery on a previous episode told me about the conspiracy behind Chester of Linkin Park and his supposed suicide. Well the Epstein situation stinks of you know what. This might be the one thing left and right agree on, that he is a scum bag, but where we disagree is who might be connected with him. Another scandal Stiner talks about is the one of Biogenesis and Major League Baseball regarding steroids and HGH. Again if you think MLB top ranked officials didn't know what was going on, well you might be not be all there, bless your heart. Is Michigan overhyped again? Also talk about Lions beat down by the Patriots and the last place Tigers. At 38 minute mark I go into Back to the Future Fantasy Baseball. The regular season is ending. Stiner has his trade vetoed at the deadline, almost made it with minimal drama. Enjoy!This podcast is powered by Pinecast.

Stand up comedian and improviser Ellen Stachowicz joins Stiner on Fumblin' Around this week. Ellen and Tom tell each other how they first go to know of each other, and it really couldn't be two different scenarios. The episode is a lot of fun, but also gets real. Ellen gives Stiner some personal experience of being a woman in comedy. There are inequalities and harassment everywhere including in the local comedy community. Issues like this need to be discussed and worked on to make sure all are feeling safe and included. We cannot be losing people in the community to harassment, we must listen to each other and try to understand. Thank you Ellen so much for coming on and being vulnerable. Also for listening to me rant on how bad Al Avila and the Tigers are along with the other noncompetitive sports teams in Detroit.

What a fun episode with two great local improvisors Michael Duprey and Jason Petterson. Was Jason surprisingly a misbehaved child or did he have crappy babysitters? Everyone is loving wrestling these days, what is your finishing move? Michael Duprey has a finishing move that you might want watch out for. You have to give this one a listen if you like fun. You like FUN right? If you don't listen, Michael will put you into submission! Back to the Future Fantasy Baseball is back for all you fantasy heads and starts at 1 hour and 39 minutes into the episode. The league is as close as it has ever been. No drama so far (no season has not had drama), is it looming? A lot to catch up on, so give it a listen. This podcast is powered by Pinecast.
