Like the name says: We're AVID about the Vancouver Whitecaps, Canadian soccer and basically anything we feel like talking about.
Holy fuck, everyone, we're back with a vengeance – mostly through Mike's hatred of Peter – to recap the Vancouver Whitecaps' controversial loss to LAFC and what's next. Spoiler: (and get the tissues ready) Mike is actually **optimistic!??!** about the club's future!
Mike, Peter and one Michael J. Halford, from the SNFTG studio (the Sportsnet 650 studio), gather for a special edition of AAS to recap the Canadian men's national team's first World Cup in 36 years and whether it could be perceived as a disappointment despite some positives to take.
Mike and Peter are fuckin' back (after a longer than necessary hiatus) now that the Vancouver Whitecaps look all but toast in their quest to make the playoffs. What awaits them in 2023? Could another coaching change be coming? It's another Whitecaps post-mortem, folks... #SNFTG FOLLOW US ON TWITTER: AAS: @AvidAboutSawker Mike Martignago: @MikeMartignago Peter Galindo: @GalindoPW
Have we gone back in time to the 2020 MLS COVID Cup? Because the guys are back already after a week. This time, however, Mike and Peter are joined by their first-ever guest: Mike Halford of Sportsnet 650 fame. They recap a seismic win over LAFC, Andres Cubas' strong start to life in Vancouver, who Canada might play in September and so much more. Plus, the two Mikes debate #SNFTG vs. Steve Nash Love That Guy.
No, your tear-filled eyes aren't deceiving you: Mike and Peter are back after an eight-month hiatus, despite Mike's best attempts to kneecap Peter upon arrival at the AAS studios. They discuss the Vancouver Whitecaps' confusing season so far, whether they're building something sustainable, the Canada Soccer clusterfuck – as Mike called it in the rundown – earlier this month in Vancouver, the 2026 World Cup host city announcements and so much more.
After the Whitecaps won the Derby di Giovanni on Wednesday night, Mike and Peter reconvene for an urgent edition of Avid About Sawker to recap the win, somehow explain how they are pulling this off and what the future holds if this continues.
No, this isn't a sick fucking joke, we are back! Mike and Peter make their much anticipated returns to the airwaves after a months-long cancellation. They discuss Canada's World Cup qualifying campaign, what they have to do to book their tickets Qatar and look at the Whitecaps' turnaround under GIOvanni Sartini. Are they actually going to make the playoffs!?
Mike and Peter return with a semi-emergency edition of the show. They talk the Whitecaps' eight-game winless run, what it means for Marc Dos Santos' future, the Ali Adnan and Derek Cornelius situations, the potential for the logo coming to Toronto and if it's (the Euro title) coming to Rome.
Mike, the rhyming master responsible for this episode title, and Peter are back to examine things in Whitecaps land. They are bleak (again) so they try to make sense of everything that's happening. They also dive into some Canadian men's national team chat, Euro 2020 and much more.
Mike and Peter (The Homies) are back to talk about The Homie and his Vancouver Whitecaps following their 2-0 win over CF Montreal and 1-0 loss to previously point-less Minnesota United. Are they showing positive signs or is the House of Negativity rearing its ugly head? They also talk MLS salaries, what astounded them (positively and negatively) and Canada's Gold Cup prospects. Oh, and Mike talked about Serie A again.
Mike and Peter return after more than three months to dissect the Vancouver Whitecaps' opening three games, what to make of the other Canadian teams so far (lol at TFC) and Jose Mourinho to Roma (!)
Mike and Peter have triumphantly returned, thanks to Peter actually *recording* this episode, unlike the lost episode in December. The smarm peddlers react to the Vancouver Whitecaps signing Deiber Caicedo, ask why the Whitecaps are asking fans to sign up for season tickets, Mike contemplates what he'll do if Sebastian Giovinco moves to Los Angeles and he's all aboard the AC Milan hype train.
Holy shit, they're back. Mike and Peter examine the Whitecaps' ridiculous 2020 season, what happens next and why there are so many question marks surrounding the club's future.
In an episode that will surely lead to billions of listens, Mike delivers a 13-minute rant after the latest defeats by the Vancouver Whitecaps.
Blame Peter for the delay of Episode 11 (he explains himself) but we are back after the latest debacle from the Vancouver Whitecaps. What the fuck happened? Is it time to worry about Lucas Cavallini? Is he "paid too much to be doing that?" Is there any semblance of a plan in Caps land? Mike Martignago and Peter Galindo go in depth on all this with their raw, unfiltered thoughts.
Episode 10 - Executive directors of fabrication distribution by Avid About Sawker
Mike and Peter are back to talk about the team no one cares about anymore! What's next for the Whitecaps? Is Marc Dos Santos a dead man walking? Is there anything to look forward to? They also recap Alphonso Davies' season and Lionel Messi's bombshell decision to leave Barcelona.
Mike and Peter discuss the Vancouver Whitecaps' loss on penalties, Thomas Hasal, why they got tattoos of him on their lower backs, their player of the tournament, concerns over Hwang In-beom, the Míchel to Vancouver rumours and the reformatted Concacaf World Cup qualifiers.
Mike and Peter return to discuss the Whitecaps being full of (clean) sheet, somehow beating the Chicago Fire and providing an update on the Jerry West of the show, who is making waves in Australia.
Mike and Peter are back in record time for the millions (and millions!) of AAS fans. The latest falsehoods include a recap of the Whitecaps' latest defeat to the Seattle Sounders, where they go from here, another attempt at a glass half-full approach from Peter, Mike defecating on Steve Nash again and the Ballon d'Or being cancelled this year, robbing Alphonso Davies of his first of 17 Ballon d'Or awards.
Mike and Peter are back again to break down the Vancouver Whitecaps' collapse to the San Jose Earthquakes. What takeaways can be made from one game, four months after their last one? Should there be some tactical concerns? Who stood out? Who didn't? All of that, plus an ode to (rant about?) the Jerry West of Avid About Sawker.
As the title says, what is going on with the Vancouver Whitecaps?! Mike Martignago, the spreader of falsehoods himself, is back after a three-month long sabbatical and is joined by Peter Galindo as they bring back Avid About Sawker to discuss the bizarre departure of Whitecaps CEO Mark Pannes. What led to the move? What could've possibly led to it? Why is this such a bad decision? Can the Whitecaps recover from this? All of that and more is answered.
This past weekend was full of (clean) sheet for the Vancouver Whitecaps. Mike and Peter recap the 1-0 win for the Whitecaps over the LA Galaxy at the Stadium of Many Names in Carson, CA. They also answer your Caps-related questions.
The spreader of falsehoods is back in your earholes! Mike is joined by co-host Peter Galindo to recap the Vancouver Whitecaps' opening game of the 2020 season. Was it a sign of more of the same from 2019 or is patience required? They get into all of that and provide an update on Avid's latest adventures down under.
