Welcome back to your Monday morning episode of Tall Can Sports, this week with Matty Laing. The guys start things off discussing the horrendous performance of the Toronto Blue Jays of late. And more importantly, how they're likely to handle the impending return of star closer Roberto Osuna. Is there any chance he pitches for the Jays again or might their corporate overlords - Rogers - make that decision for them? Speaking of corporate overlords, Matty addresses the move Lebron James has made to the LA Lakers and what the motivations might have been. Given his road to a championship just got immeasurably more difficult, was this move more about business than sport? Is he more interested in glitz and glamour than winning titles? What does this mean for the rest of the Western Conference in the NBA? And speaking of business and sport, the guys talk about John Tavares merging his brand to the Maple Leafs brand like Lebron is doing with the Lakers. What are Matty's thoughts on Tavares finally being the Ontario kid to come home after so many before him passed? What does the move mean for the rest of the league and did Mike Babcock actually foreshadow this the day he high profile coach landed in Toronto? All this and lots more as we kick off another week with you with tons of great sports talk.

Join us for another weekly edition of the South of the 6ix Podcast! The Raptors are currently riding a 6ix game winning streak during this West Coast swing. The starting unit has played exceptionally well, with a net rating of +25.8 during the streak. Jonas Valanciunas is finding his footing and is being more productive in limited minutes. Jakob Poeltl, in response, is taking advantage of a more expanded role and is making it increasingly difficult for the Dwane Casey to limit him moving forward. Serge Ibaka is starting to find his stroke and is starting to build off of each positive performance. DeMar and Kyle are playing like the All-Stars that they are and continue to make the case for being the best back-court in the entire NBA. Joining me to discuss these and other topics is a new guest - Curtis Panke of TipOfTheTower.com. After dabbling into some Buffalo Bills and Toronto Blue Jays chatter, Curtis and host Adam Corsair get into the aforementioned topics and explore other areas of conversation that surround the Raptors during this heat streak the team is on. Can this be sustained? Which team this coming week poses as the biggest threat? What will the reaction be when DeMarre Carroll returns to Toronto?

Following a wild UFC 196 card, the UFC finds itself in an odd position as they build towards their UFC200 super card with some of their top stars coming off big losses. And in a more broad sense, has the company been a bit of a victim of it's own success when it comes to the casual fan? Later on, Dion Phaneuf made his return to Toronto with the Senators on Saturday night to a warm reception. Why was he such a polarizing figure in Toronto? All this and more.
