About TPL

Welcome to the new home of The Production Line, your multi-media platform for all things Red Wings, including – but not limited to – jailsexing you nasty. Three displaced Detroiters — and a lifelong Californian — find themselves spread all over humanity, but are bound together by a deep-seeded love for the Winged Wheelers. We’re proud to introduce our new space — and welcome the newest member of our brotherhood — and promise to bring you the insight, analysis, snark, and cartoons you’ve come to expect from the TPL brand.

Rob Discher :: @512Disch

A Michigan native and lifetime Wings fan, I’ve been described by longtime friends Salt N Pepa as having “a body like Arnold with a Denzel face” in their 1994 hit single “What a Man.” I currently reside in Austin, Texas and work as a PR flack.

Michael Petrella :: @mpetrella

Born to diehard Red Wings fans in Metro Detroit, I started skating as soon as I could stand upright. I played hockey my whole life – all the way up through college before moving to New York to work in television. Now fully entrenched in enemy territory of Pittsburgh, PA. While the other fellows speak in a well-educated manner, I tend to use low-brow expressions like “OH YEAH?” and “c’mere a minute.”

Chris Hollis :: @chollis

A displaced Red Wings fan and Detroiter living in the hockey “hotbed” of Seattle, Washington, I’ve spent the last two years covering the Red Wings over at Motown Wings and Winging it in Motown before finally settling down at TPL. Professionally, I share in the PR flack brotherhood with Rob, although I think he writes better press releases than me.

Stevie Roxelle :: @stevieroxelle

A latecomer to hockey, I immediately became a Wings fan despite living in California my whole life. Even though I’m known for my cartooning skills, I actually have a degree in biology and I’m currently getting my Master’s in duck courtship and pay bills by teaching freshmen about body parts.
