Bad Coaching and Gamesmanship

We open the show with some clean-up with the NHL, NBA, Ryder Cup, F1, Toronto Argonauts and how soccer referees in Ontario will now be wearing body cams. We then jump right into baseball with the Toronto Blue Jays clinching back-to-back postseason berths since 2015-16. Are we feeling optimistic about it? ALso how are the rest of the Majors shaping up as only 12 teams remain? Finally we get right into the NFL, tying a neat bow on week 3, and giving our picks for week 4. Are the Dallas Cowboys true contenders? Are the Dolphins frauds? Keep the vibe alive! #NFL #nextlevel #bluejays #MLB #CFL #Argos #leafsforever #tabsontheHabs #NHL #F1 #keepthevibealive

GOATkovic

No Cruz this episode, so Andrew Mi-Lonely keeps the House running! First, Andrew shouts out the Argos 11-1 record, their chance for the season wins record, and increasing attendance. We congratulate US Open winners Novak Djokovic and Coco Gauff. A look back at Canada’s bronze medal over the USA at the FIBA Basketball World Cup. I look into the NBA’s new rules for resting players and ask whether or not it will work. I unpack all the madness from the Singapore GP in Formula 1. I look at a crazy offseason week in the NHL with Vancouver and Winnipeg naming captains, and a series of incidents involving Mike Babcock. How do the Blue Jays chances look after getting swept by Texas? And I look back at week 1 of the NFL, and give my picks for week 2.
