    Typical Toronto sports media. Slanted, factually incorrect coverage at times. Of course, The Toronto Sports Network has no integrity, so no surprise there.

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Gavin McKenna gets benched... | OverDrive: Oct. 16, 2026 - Hour 1
Q: Who would be your MVP of the league today?
Joe Thomas picks Josh Allen, praising his ability to lead the team, run or throw as needed, and do whatever the moment requires.
Gavin McKenna gets benched... | OverDrive: Oct. 16, 2026 - Hour 1
Q: Can you spin it positively that Denver is four and two, tough sked, with Bo Nix playing this horribly?
Joe Thomas says Denver's pass rush is dominant and can carry the team, while average quarterback play from Bo Nix could make the Broncos a serious contender.
Maple Leafs beat the Blue Jackets + Dylan Larkin's trade list | OverDrive: Oct. 21, 2026 - Hour 1
Q: Of what you know of Scottie Barnes, how do you anticipate he handles now playing off Kawhi as opposed to, you know, he's kind of, he's been the man?
Armstrong describes Barnes as selfless and focused on the team's success, and says the young Raptors group can benefit from Leonard's experience and ability to draw defensive attention.
Johnston on Hellebuyck's future, Larkin's next steps and the Maple Leafs adding players
Q: Is there any reason to believe that's the case? What makes this week different than any other when it comes to Dylan Larkin?
Johnston has no information suggesting a trade is imminent. He believes Detroit would still like to keep Larkin if possible, though he ultimately expects Larkin to be traded.
Johnson on Matthews' redemption season, McDavid chasing records and Tkachuk's return to Ottawa
Q: Is this the best he's ever played? In your opinion, best he's ever played?
Johnson says McDavid has had important playoff moments, but his start may be the best regular-season stretch of eight to ten games he has ever had.
