  • Too much screaming at a mic

    Good content but too much rage and ranting. Screams into the mic way too much. Shame they let Scott McArthur go

  • Dull

    Pointless and meandering. Boring jock with an empty personality. Only reason to listen is for the informative James Mirtle segments, but if you’re expected to sit through hours of Scott Mac droning on to get there, you lost me.

    Why has TSN snared one of their most knowledgeable analysts (Mirtle) to this random show? Give Mirtle a segment on Overdrive so we can actually hear him. No one wants this show. Literally no one is asking for Scott’s opinions.

    We can do better.

Q: What's the biggest difference you see between this Jesse Marsh‑led Canada and the Herdman era in 2022?
The coach's system under Marsh is more attack‑minded and proactive, aiming to press and create chances rather than sit back, which should translate into more goal-scoring opportunities and a more dynamic group phase, provided the players stay healthy.
