Note from Al: The question mark is added as we're still tentative in regard to Canseco.  Eno spoke with him this afternoon, and we're almost sure he'll appear. We should know more in the next couple of hours.

Update: As it turned out, almost is not definite. Canseco asked if we would try him again next Monday. So doing us a huge solid, appearing with little notice, our guest tonight is Matt Hutter, a Featured Red Wings columnist for Bleacher Report. Matt is a long-time Red Wings fan who is based out on the Left Coast. Yes, a Wings fan in Cali.

On tonight's show: Our run on celebrity boxers continues, but this celebrity is a bit more well known than our last boxing guest, Marvin Hagler Jr. Our special guest tonight is former 1986 AL Rookie of the Year and 1989 AL Most Valuable player, the best selling author of "Juiced," the infamous steroids tell-all, and now a celebrity boxer, Jose Canseco!

Canseco will fight Todd Poulton in match sanctioned by the Celebrity Boxing Federation November 6th in Springfield, MA. The bout will three rounds of one minute each featuring fighters with heavy 18-ounce gloves and headgear. Canseco's last fight was against former child star Danny Bonaduce of 1970s TV show "The Partridge Family," which ended in a hotly contested draw. Expect Jose to be his normally outspoken self as he talks to The Knee Jerks about boxing, baseball, (maybe) steroids and anything else which may be on the outspoken outfielder's mind!

As Jose had to cancel, our guest tonight is Matt Hutter, a Featured Red Wings columnist for Bleacher Report. Matt is a long-time Red Wings fan who is based out on the Left Coast. Yes, a Wings fan in Cali.

After we talk with Matt, we'll get down to brass tacks, and talk Detroit sports.

Detroit Lions: Was your confidence in the new regime shaken by a bad loss to the Rams? Stan Kwan, enemy of the people, or the anti-Christ?

Detroit Pistons: From the first 3 games of the season, is it too soon to think we are watching a lottery team? Or are they a playoff team with so many new parts, they need time to gel?

Detroit Red Wings: Injuries, injuries and more injuries, as Valtteri Filppula is out at least 6 – 8 weeks with a broken wrist. What's next? Wait...I don't want to know...

Michigan Wolverines: When asked by the Wall St. Journal, the Michigan brass said they would have patience in regard to Rich Rodriguez. As an example, president Mary Sue Coleman used Tommy Ammaker, who got 6 years to run the basketball program into the ground. That was at least 2 years too much, if you ask fans of the Woilverines.

Michigan St. Spartans: The Spartans had much higher expectations than the Wolverines. If Rich Rodriguez is on the hot seat, shouldn't Mark Dantonio be on an even hotter seat?

At the end of the show, The Knee Jerks will name their respective Jerk of the Week!

Tune in at 11PM every Monday night for the latest and greatest in sports talk...sports talk with a Detroit attitude! Of course, if you can't tune in live, the podcast will be available for download and streaming at our show page Tuesday morning!
