Thankfully, since Dubas left hes stopped being a leafs gm fanboy.
Really wish Cassie would come back to replace her.

I get that the NFL isn’t necessarily his wheelhousr, but I had to laugh when he asked today if the Eagles had a goon they could send after Mahomes to take him out of the Super Bowl
Why does Kyper shill so hard for Marner? It makes the show unlistenable.

IMO it’s even worse when Hayes and ODog don’t know basic football news…….more than once I’ve seen them talk about the guy in the gas mask and the coach in the hospital bed in the same segment and they don’t know the connection.

The best is their takes on the NBA. My son catches it sometimes when he is over for supper and he is openly offended by their commentary and takes. lol
They should probably just stick to hockey, some NFL when Luke is on and avoid the rest. I know they know golf, but I literally turn off the show when they go into it. Just not my thing.

Their basketball takes are probably 10,000 foot as well. I turn it off when they have a basketball segment, which isn’t too often, thankfully.

He doesn’t shill. He evaluates what he sees and offer the opinion that Marner would get ~14 million on the open market and gives his reasons why that would be good or bad.

He shills every player, pretty much. He's a staunch PA guy, so he wants them all to get as much as possible.

I mean he could with the cap increase, seems high but he would certainly have a better idea than the average fan.
Shill to me means he can have some affect on what's happening, I don't see how his comments affect anything.

They didn’t talk as much about the Super Bowl as I expected.
I wonder how the ratings will turn out? On one hand you have the Chiefs Eagles in New Orleans which is aesthetically unappealing to watch on TV and a lot of people know the city is one of the worst in the country. On the other there’s chance of a 3 peat, Swift, and the first time a sitting President is attending which could stir up interest.
No one is. It's crazy. There is some serious apathy around this game to say the least.
Luke was on yesterday and his first comment was, "this place is gross' lol. He and 3 or four others from TSN are down there (James, Kara, Sanchez).
I don't think there is excitement around either team outside their own fanbases. Not sure there is a lot of excitement around the halftime show either.
The ratings will be through the roof though, so no one needs to worry lol.
