  • Show has struggled since the new format

    Show has not been the same since they moved to 2 hours. Segments are often rushed , or missed completely. When they try to get 2 insiders on the show , the 5 of them are talking over each other.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

OverDrive - June 11, 2026 - Hour 1 - Ernie Johnson/Bob Weeks
Q: What was the mood in the building during the Knicks' comeback?
Johnson described it as an electric, pandemonium-filled atmosphere where celebrities roamed the floor and the crowd's energy carried the game's final minutes.
Corrado on if Mike Babcock is a good fit in Edmonton, Jordan Staal's Conn Smythe case, and which players need to step up in the final stretch
Q: What needs to happen for Carolina to close out the series against Vegas?
Carolina must clean up breakaways and avoid over-committing defensemen, while their stars like Ajo and Sveshnikov need to elevate their play to balance the lineup and create scoring chances.
Corrado on if Mike Babcock is a good fit in Edmonton, Jordan Staal's Conn Smythe case, and which players need to step up in the final stretch
Q: Bruce Cassidy or other coaching options: how would you respond to a hypothetical call offering a Leafs coaching job?
I would politely decline, emphasizing that Cassidy is a strong coach but not the right voice for the Maple Leafs at this moment.
Corrado on if Mike Babcock is a good fit in Edmonton, Jordan Staal's Conn Smythe case, and which players need to step up in the final stretch
Q: If someone called you and asked whether Edmonton should hire Mike Babcock, would you say yes or no?
I would say no, and I'd explain that while he's incredibly detail-oriented, managing people and day-to-day bench duties aren't his forte, so it wouldn't be the best fit right now.
Nantz on his experiences at the Canadian Open, his backyard Par 3, Golf Canada and more!
Q: How does Trevor fit into your broadcast prep and on-course storytelling?
Jim describes Trevor as exceptionally well prepared, blends data analysis with on-course tendencies, and helps frame the tournament narratives that emerge as the weekend approaches.
