Matt Bonner is doing a great job on the telecasts and on the Raptors radio show at 11am. I've always liked him particularly since he continues to take the TTC to work as he did when he played for us. He shares some great stories of his experience with coach Pop.

I like when Mirtle is on with JD.
JD is growing on me. I've yet to actually listen to his show, just catch him on Leafs Talk post-game.
The Athletic podcast would be so much better without Jonas. Mirtle brings interesting points, but his partner is a purposely obtuse, overly negative, STOOGE. Nobody likes this guy, why does he have a gig?
I have generally enjoyed Jonas, but totally agree that (for me) lately he has been very negative. Recent example was after the McCabe signing, he seemed legit pissed. Mirtle was calling him on his bs going through logical reasons why it made sense for both sides.

He did a 180 a couple of summers back. Literally from one episode to the next.

I went for the annual subscription, but next year I will have to pay more as well:
How is it cheaper to get it on Bell fibe app, it's only $10 and you can use the sportsnet apps as well.

I guess I'm lucky i get the base cost of the bell fibe app as a free credit on my fiber internet account.

but speaking of the app. They updated the Sportsnet app on the Amazon Firesticks, and it's been horrible. any show or event that you restart while its still airing is 5 minutes behind, so you have to fast forward exactly 5 minutes for it to start.

Not to mention the constant errors during games or shows like "unauthorized" or "not available in your region" etc etc...

I don't have any TV services. I went from full cable to just a handful of subscriptions this year. I saved a lot of money each month.

yeah i cut the traditional tv cord in 2015. used a gray market sports streaming site for maybe 6 years before it was shut down, and since then i've just added sportsnet ($10) or sportsnet+tsn ($15) on the bell streaming app that they provide as a bill credit (normally $15, like "basic cable").
