  • Brent Gunning has to go

    Ben is amazing. I only listen to the show when Brent is off as I find him overwhelming and agitating.

    Please replace Brent with Sam McKee or another host and I will listen regularly.

Mitch Marner's Playoff Breakout + Jon Morosi!

Blue Jays Homestand with Dan Shulman + Masters Recap

Leafs Front Office Takes Shape + Michael Grange's Game 5 Preview
Q: Grange, what do you make of the Cavalier playoff situation and the East this year as we head into Game 5 tonight?
Grange explains there is a show-me attitude in Cleveland, skepticism around the team, and that the Cavaliers' high salary commitments raise the stakes as they try to translate past regular-season success into deep playoff runs; he also notes the Raptors' growth and how Scorby Barnes has emerged as a driving force for Toronto in this series.
Raptors Playoff Takeaways with David Blatt & Michael Grange
Q: What is the biggest takeaway for you from watching this seven-game series?
