Ep. 2 | Verlander is Back, Pistons Love Fist Fighting, I Finally Met Chris Osgood

from To Be Frank · host Champagne Athletics

Recorded 2/11/2026Was that the most forgettable Super Bowl in recent memory? Frank breaks down why the biggest game of the year somehow lacked the usual juice, then shifts to a storybook reunion as Justin Verlander returns to Detroit on a one-year deal meant to add veteran leadership to a contending rotation. He also reacts to the chaos in Charlotte after a Pistons-Hornets brawl led to multiple suspensions, including seven games for Isaiah Stewart. And to top it off, a full-circle hockey moment as Frank finally meets Chris Osgood… the same goalie who handed him a stick back in 1999 and signed it decades later.Intro (0:03 - 3:43)Housekeeping/Showcase (3:43 - 6:14)Superbowl Recap (6:14 - 11:33)Verlander is a Detroit Tiger Again (11:33 - 19:42)Pistons Love Fist Fighting (19:42 - 27:39)Osgood Story Time (27:39 - 50:51)
