Greater Media announces former Detroit Piston Lindsey Hunter and Program Director Dave Shore have been named as the new afternoon drive team on Detroit Sports 105.1FM. The duo can be heard weekdays from 2-6pm beginning on Monday, March 21st.

Hunter enjoyed a 17-year NBA career as a player (1993-2010), including spending twelve seasons with the Pistons. He advanced to the playoffs 12 times, won two NBA titles, and was originally selected by Detroit with the 10th overall pick in the 1993 NBA Draft.

Shore joined the station in March of 2015 as Program Director. Prior to that, he was on air and the operations manager of ESPN LA 710 in Los Angeles, California. In addition, Shore was the pre-game host of the Los Angeles Lakers broadcasts as well as other programs.

He has hosted nationally on ESPN Radio, and served as a sideline reporter for ESPN Radio’s national college football radio coverage. He handled TV play by play for the last four years of Bob Knight’s stint at Texas Tech, and has held positions as a pre-game and sideline reporter with the Dallas Mavericks, and reporter for the Dallas Cowboys. He has also been on air in Portland, OR, Raleigh, NC, Lexington, KY and Evansville, IN.

Shore and Hunter take over the afternoon slot which was previously held by Matt Dery and Drew Sharp. That duo occupied afternoons for less than five months, taking over for Drew Lane who left the station when a new agreement couldn’t be reached.

If you’re serious about Fantasy Football, the Sports Gambling Podcast Network is bringing back a tradition you’ll want to pay attention to.

For the second year in a row, Ryan Kramer will draft 24 different teams over the course of a 24 hour marathon that will be streamed across multiple video platforms.

“Fortunately, the analytics research is done so I can focus now on news coming out of the camps to sharpen my views and deliver the well-reasoned selections that people need to get an edge in their drafting,” Kramer said in a press release. “It’s a bit of an audacious undertaking, but the growing phenomenon of Fantasy Football deserves this level of commitment and our SGPN audiences always respond.”

The event begins at 3 pm on Tuesday and is dubbed “Draft Day 2.0”. All of the content will originate from the Sports Gambling Podcast Network’s studios in Los Angeles.

The marathon will also be a fundraiser. The network is using GoFundMe to raise funds for a colleague named Darryl injured in a motorcycle accident earlier this year. A portion of proceeds generated from the sale of Sports Gambling Podcast Network branded apperal will also go to the effort.

Though there’s still some time before a finished products reaches bookshelves, but ESPN’s Paul Finebaum is reportedly set to get a nice six-figure advance by Penguin Press.

According to John Ourand of Sports Business Journal, Finebaum will make $700,000 plus royalties for the deep dive into the rivalry between the two SEC head coaches.

Back in the spring things came to a head between Alabama’s Nick Saban and Texas A&M’s Jimbo Fisher, as the two engaged in a verbal spat in separate press conferences over name, image and likeness.

Saban said Fisher and his staff utilized NIL and “bought every player” in the Aggies’ spring 2022 recruiting class.

Things got so heated and drew so many headlines that SEC commissioner Greg Sankey had to step in and try to get the former colleagues to cool it.

Finebaum is teaming up with Alabama beat reporter John Talty to write the book.
