Description
Brent Gunning and Sam McKee host! Sam opens the show by detailing his experience witnessing a hole-in-one and triple play on Monday. Then, the guys discuss Shohei Ohtani’s epic bat flip against the Yankees, his historically-good 2023 season, and if Ohtani is currently the biggest must-see attraction in sports. Afterwards, Brent and Sam reflect on the five-year anniversary of the Raptors landing Kawhi Leonard, why his departure is one of the biggest “what if” scenarios in Toronto sports history, and how the Raptors have fared in the years since Kawhi’s one-and-done season. Later, the guys close out the hour by chatting about Ross Colton’s multi-year extension with the Colorado Avalanche and Sheldon Keefe’s reputation around the NHL (37:37).
