Tigers’ Playoff Concerns & Lions Expectations

Sean Baligian is back with a jam-packed Labor Day edition of Off The Air. He opens with a fiery take on the Detroit Tigers’ shaky starting pitching and why trusting Jack Flaherty in a playoff rotation should have fans nervous. From there, Sean recaps the wild weekend in college football, including sloppy offensive play, overhyped quarterbacks, and a throwback “Catholics vs. Convicts” showdown between Notre Dame and Miami.

Looking ahead, Sean shares why next week is make-or-break for Michigan and Michigan State, weighs in on Brent Venables’ shaky future at Oklahoma, and revisits the SEC’s claim as king of college football. The show also dives into Bill Belichick’s surprising college experiment and a few food tangents (BLTs and bacon debates included).

Finally, Sean sets the stage for the week ahead: it’s Lions season, and it’s Super Bowl or bust. With kickoff just days away, expectations are high, and Sean makes it clear—2025 is a pass/fail year for Detroit.

It’s unfiltered football talk, Tigers frustration, and plenty of late-night laughs—exactly what you expect from Off The Air.
