Winning spring trifecta: Tigers, Detroit City and Michigan Panthers

Show notes

For the most part, spring is off to a really strong start when it comes to sports. Outside of the Detroit Red Wings (we'll have to cross our fingers ont them), the Detroit Tigers, the Michigan Panthers and Detroit City FC all have strong beginnings. 

01:20 - The Michigan Panthers won their home opener, and Fletcher Sharpe was there for the epic field goal kick to win it by a guy who hadn't put it through the uprights in a game since high school.

06:44 - The Detroit Tigers are undefeated to start the season, a welcome change from years past.

09:39 - Detroit City FC looks like a new club out there on the pitch. Fletcher Sharpe gets into the 2.5 reasons he thinks the club is better this year, and we look ahead into the season.

As always, you can find Daily Detroit on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you download your favorite podcasts.
