Welcome back to The Thursday Report with Ewan, Will, and Alex. This week, the guys cover a packed lineup of sports stories, including the Packers' embarrassing loss to the Falcons, Marvin Harrison Jr.'s disappointing start in Arizona, the Edmonton Oilers' upcoming season, the Edmonton Elks' wild CFL matchup, and Vladimir Guerrero Jr.'s controversial comments. The episode opens with a quick introduction from Ewan, who explains the schedule change and sets up an episode filled with NFL, NHL, CFL, and MLB discussion. The NFL conversation begins with the Atlanta Falcons' dominant 35–14 win over the Green Bay Packers. The guys break down Bijan Robinson's huge rushing performance, Drake London's monster receiving game, Atlanta's ability to control the line of scrimmage, and Green Bay's shocking lack of a rushing attack. They also debate whether Jordan Love is good enough to lead the Packers to a Super Bowl, whether Matt LaFleur should keep his job, and how difficult Green Bay's upcoming schedule could become. The discussion then shifts to the Arizona Cardinals and whether Marvin Harrison Jr. would benefit from a change of scenery after a disappointing start to his career. The NHL portion focuses heavily on the Edmonton Oilers' upcoming season. Will, Alex, and Ewan share their expectations for the team under new head coach Mike Babcock and discuss the importance of starting the season strongly. They also make individual predictions for the Oilers, including:The team's most important goaltenderExpected save percentagesConnor McDavid's projected point totalThe Oilers' leading goal scorerEdmonton's overall point totalTheir expected position in the Pacific DivisionThe group also discusses Frederik Andersen, Tristan Jarry, Devon Levi, Ike Howard, Matt Savoie, Ryan Shea, Darnell Nurse, and the Oilers' defensive changes heading into the season. The CFL segment covers the Edmonton Elks' frustrating loss to the Toronto Argonauts. Despite strong offensive numbers and a productive game from Cody Fajardo, the Elks came away with a defeat. The guys discuss Fajardo's two interceptions, Edmonton's lack of a rushing game, the Argos' explosive passing attack, Vinny Blankenbaker's missed field goal, and the Elks' playoff outlook. Finally, the episode closes with an extended debate about Vladimir Guerrero Jr.'s controversial comments and his disappointing season with the Toronto Blue Jays. Alex explains why the comments were especially frustrating for fans, while Ewan and Will discuss leadership, accountability, Guerrero's massive contract, his lack of home-run production, and whether the Blue Jays can bounce back next season. The guys also discuss the future of the Blue Jays, Chris Bassitt's possible final appearance with the team, the upcoming NHL season, the growth of hockey, and the atmosphere at Rogers Place during playoff games.Full timestamps00:00-05:39 — Introduction, schedule change, and the week in sports05:39-20:29 — Falcons dominate the Packers and expose Green Bay's problems20:29-28:53 — Marvin Harrison Jr.'s struggles and a possible change of scenery28:53-34:10 — Edmonton Oilers season expectations and the impact of Mike Babcock34:10-38:48 — Oilers predictions: goaltending, McDavid, and goal scoring38:48-45:41 — Oilers point totals, Pacific Division predictions, and playoff expectations45:41-54:55 — Oilers roster changes, Ike Howard, Frederik Andersen, and the home opener54:55-62:52 — Edmonton Elks lose a wild CFL game despite strong statistics62:52-75:50 — Vladimir Guerrero Jr.'s comments and the Blue Jays' disappointing season75:50-80:51 — Guerrero's accountability, Chris Bassitt, and the Blue Jays' offseason80:51-84:52 — Hockey's growth, the NHL salary cap, and Canadian sports84:52-87:57 — Final thoughts, upcoming games, and closing remarksBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-manning-show--6448210/support.

Born in Oshawa and raised in Whitby, Jason Pottinger began playing football at the age of nine after watching his older brother Matthew play at the Oshawa Civic Recreation Complex.Jason Pottinger played his early years of football with the Oshawa Hawkeyes city football club, receiving numerous team MVP awards. In 2002, he was selected to represent Ontario in the prestigious Canada Cup tournament, held that year in the nation's capital. Team Ontario defeated Team Manitoba in the championship game and Jason was awarded Most Valuable Defensive Player of the tournament.When he was in Grade 11, Jason began to receive recruitment letters from several American Division I and II schools, as well as Canadian universities from coast to coast. Jason opted to attend McMaster University in Hamilton, Ontario, to play linebacker for the provincially-ranked number one McMaster Marauders. In both 2004 and 2005, Jason was named a Canadian Interuniversity Sport (CIS) First Team All-Canadian – an honour given to the best Canadian football players in the CIS – and awarded the President's Trophy as the defensive MVP of the Ontario University Athletics (OUA) league.Following his stellar university football career, Jason was drafted in the first round (2nd overall) by the BC Lions Football Club in the Canadian Football League (CFL) where he helped his team win the 2006 Grey Cup Championship in his first year.

JB is away this week, so 3DownNation's John Hodge returns to the co-host chair for the first time since 2024 as the Toronto Argonauts head to Winnipeg for a Friday night matchup with the Blue Bombers. There's some breaking news to discuss, with signs of actual movement toward CFL expansion in Quebec City. Then it's on to the Argos, beginning with the loss of Tarvarus McFadden. The defensive back has been placed on the six-game injured list with only four games remaining in the regular season after injuring his hand while making the game-clinching interception against Edmonton. Ben and John discuss McFadden's remarkable road from being released by Toronto, then Ottawa, to becoming a Grey Cup champion and key part of this Argos secondary - and, most importantly, who can possibly replace him. Toronto has also added an intriguing potential replacement in Nic Toomer, a long, athletic defensive back with experience throughout the secondary and some striking physical similarities to McFadden. Then comes a bigger football question: Do you actually need a running game to win in the CFL? Toronto somehow won last week despite finishing with minus-one rushing yard, which John notes is a record for a Canadian CFL team. But the issue goes beyond the rushing total. The Argos possessed the football for only 21 minutes, leaving their defence on the field far too long. Ben and John debate whether Toronto can simply lean into being an elite passing offence or whether developing a credible ground game is essential before the playoffs arrive. There's also the latest on Chad Kelly's contract situation. Kelly and his agent have reportedly shut down extension talks for the remainder of the season. Is that actually something Argos fans should be concerned about, or simply business that can wait until the games are over? In Pick Six, which potential West Division crossover opponent Toronto should fear most. The Argos have shown they can beat anybody, particularly at home, but Edmonton, Saskatchewan and BC present an uncomfortable common problem - Toronto hasn't consistently demonstrated that it can run the football against those kinds of fronts. Then it's on to Winnipeg. Toronto has already secured second place in the East, so this game carries considerably more urgency for the Blue Bombers. Plus, OCDC, the Injury Report, One Thing, Put Me Down for 20, and John takes over Challenge Flag. It's Argos-Bombers, Hodge is back in the co-host chair, and we've got you covered on the Xs and Argos Pregame Walkthrough.

It's perhaps the definition of a trap game, for those who believe in such things. Fresh off a convincing Labour Day victory in Hamilton, the 6-6 Toronto Argonauts are back at BMO Field on a short week to face a very well-rested Ottawa Redblacks team with nothing to lose. Ben Grant and JB get you set for Toronto's third home game of the season on this week's Xs and Argos Pregame Walkthrough. The guys start with the latest transaction involving Jordan Herdman-Reed before taking a look at the bigger picture in the East Division. With six games remaining, it's time to start talking Magic Numbers. What does Toronto need to do to secure a playoff berth, and where do the Argos stand in the race to host the East Semi-Final? With Ryan Dinwiddie returning to BMO Field, how different is he from Mike Miller as a head coach and offensive mind? Ben and JB discuss two coaches who actually have plenty in common, but also some fascinating differences. Then it's on to a game Toronto absolutely cannot afford to overlook. Ottawa comes in rested, motivated and with players fighting for their futures. Dinwiddie would undoubtedly love to beat his former team, and the Redblacks have nothing to lose. Meanwhile, Toronto is coming off an emotional Labour Day victory and has had little time to recover and prepare. The message to the Argos: bring everything you have. In OCDC, Ben looks at how Ottawa can attack Toronto by turning the game into a physical battle for the Argos' linebackers. For the Argos, the plan starts with something that worked extremely well against Hamilton: Kevin Mital as part of the protection scheme. But this time, Toronto can use that tendency against Ottawa by showing the same protection looks and leaking Mital into routes. And against a Redblacks defence allowing more than 130 rushing yards per game, there's no reason to abandon the ground game either. Plus, the Injury Report, One Thing, Put Me Down for 20, and Challenge Flag. Toronto has fought its way back to .500 and taken control of second place in the East. Now comes a different challenge: beating a team everyone expects you to beat. It's Ottawa at Toronto, Ryan Dinwiddie is back at BMO Field, and we've got you covered on the Xs and Argos Pregame Walkthrough.
On this episode of Ticats This Week, Rick Zamperin, Simoni Lawrence and Matt Bucknor reflect on the Hamilton Tiger-Cats Labour Day loss to the Toronto Argonauts and discuss what the team can do to show some progress in the final stretch of the season.
On this episode of What Happened With Simoni Lawrence, 21 gives you the full breakdown on the Hamilton Tiger-Cats 37-22 loss to the Toronto Argonauts in Week 14 of the Canadian Football League season to drop their record to 4-9.
Now that is how you respond. One week after a frustrating loss in Saskatchewan, the Toronto Argonauts went into Hamilton for the Labour Day Classic, outplayed the Tiger-Cats and came away with a convincing 37-22 victory in one of their most important games of the season. Ben Grant and JB break down a true full-team win on the latest Xs and Argos Postgame Reaction. Defensively, the challenge started with Tre Ford. Toronto did an excellent job containing one of the CFL's most dangerous athletes in the first half, preventing Ford from taking over the game with his legs and forcing Hamilton to find other ways to move the football. The defence bent at times after halftime, but the outcome never really felt in doubt. Offensively, Chad Kelly was dealing, but some of the biggest plays of the afternoon belonged to his receivers. Damonte Coxie, Jake Herslow, and Dave Ungerer III each found the end zone, and all three touchdowns were impressive physical plays in their own way. Toronto's receivers repeatedly put their bodies on the line to finish catches, turning accurate throws from Kelly into some of the defining moments of the game. And then there was Lirim Hajrullahu. Five games after missing a game-winning field goal in Hamilton and subsequently landing on the injured list, Lirim returned to the scene of the crime and looked every bit like the veteran professional Toronto has come to trust. He was a perfect 3-for-3 on field goals and 4-for-4 on converts, including a booming 52-yarder. There was no late-game heartbreak this time. The offence made plays. The defence did its job. Special teams delivered. And after letting a very winnable game get away in Saskatchewan, the Argos responded with one of their most complete performances of the season when they needed it most. Toronto is back to .500 at 6-6, has won the season series against Hamilton and has put itself firmly in control of second place in the East. It's Argos 37, Ticats 22 in the Labour Day Classic, and Ben and JB break it all down on the Xs and Argos Postgame Reaction.

Labour Day! The 5-6 Toronto Argonauts head down the QEW for the annual Labour Day Classic against the Hamilton Tiger-Cats, and this year's edition could have enormous implications for the East Division playoff race. Ben Grant and JB get you set for one of the biggest games on the CFL calendar on this week's Xs and Argos Pregame Walkthrough. The guys start with a surprising transaction: Toronto has released rookie kicker Brady Lidster, who handled the kicking duties for the past five games while Lirim Hajrullahu recovered from a hamstring injury. With Lidster gone and no other active kicker on the roster, is a familiar face about to return? There's also some off-field CFL news to dig into. The league has launched its new website, and Ben and JB discuss the early returns before turning their attention to the CFL's upcoming field-dimension changes. USPORTS and Football Canada won't be adopting the new dimensions in 2027, creating some logistical questions for teams that share facilities with university programs. This week's Pick Six asks a question that takes us back to the days of Condredge Holloway and Joe Barnes: whatever happened to quarterback tandems? If Chad Kelly is struggling, why not give Nick Arbuckle a series or two? Ben and JB examine why modern offences have largely moved away from rotating quarterbacks and whether there are situations where it could still make sense. Then it's time for the Labour Day Classic. The stakes are enormous. A Toronto victory would put the Argos four points ahead of Hamilton with a game in hand and secure the season-series tiebreaker, giving them a commanding advantage in the race for second place in the East. A loss would pull Hamilton level on points, hand the Ticats the tiebreaker and turn the final stretch of the season into a fight for playoff positioning. There's also some potentially significant news in the Injury Report, as a big name makes his return to practice. In OCDC, Ben looks at how Hamilton could use both Tre Ford and Harrison Frost - even within the same drive - to take advantage of a Toronto defence that has been forced to prepare for two very different quarterbacks. For the Argos, the question is how they respond if Hamilton follows Saskatchewan's second-half blueprint and leans heavily on man coverage. Ben wants Toronto to start with the running game, use stacks, bunches, reduced splits and motion to manufacture separation, and make Kevin Mital a central part of the plan. If Hamilton wants to turn its back to the football and challenge Toronto's receivers to beat man coverage, the Argos need to make the Ticats regret it. Plus, One Thing, Put Me Down for 20, and Challenge Flag. It's Argos-Ticats. It's Labour Day. And for a Toronto team trying once again to get back to .500, this one could go a long way toward deciding where the East Final road runs through in November. We've got you covered on the Xs and Argos Pregame Walkthrough.
On this episode of The Milton Report, Steve Milton takes a look at sports tribalism while also recounts some of the most memorable Labour Day Classic games and performances as the Hamilton Tiger-Cats and Toronto Argonauts are set to renew their rivalry on Labour Day Monday.

This very quickly became a quarterback-themed episode. The 5-5 Toronto Argonauts head back on the road looking to climb above .500 again as they take on a Saskatchewan Roughriders team that has dropped two straight. Ben Grant and JB get you set for the first half of Toronto's two-game road trip on this week's Xs and Argos Pregame Walkthrough. The guys start with the latest transactions, including the release of defensive back Anthony Wilson and the addition of an intriguing new quarterback. Paxton DeLaurent arrives in Toronto after a monster season in the Indoor Football League, where he threw 64 touchdown passes, completed more than 70 percent of his throws and was named Offensive Rookie of the Year. What does the former Southeast Missouri State star bring to the quarterback room and why sign him now? And speaking of quarterbacks... The people have spoken. Our inbox has been flooded with Chad Kelly contract extension questions over the past two weeks, and paranoia about Ottawa's involvement, so we thought we'd take a look at some of the smoke. Kelly is scheduled to become a free agent following the season, while smoke continues to build around the possibility of a reunion with former Argos head coach Ryan Dinwiddie in Ottawa. There's nothing remotely concrete, but with the Redblacks' quarterback situation deteriorating and Kelly potentially able to hit the open market in February, should the Argos be trying to get ahead of this and extend their star quarterback ASAP? This week's Pick Six keeps the quarterback theme going. How difficult is it for a QB to join a new CFL team in the middle of a season and actually play? Ben explains why learning the plays isn't necessarily the biggest obstacle, but learning an entirely new language is. Then it's on to Saskatchewan. The Riders are banged up and have lost two straight, while Toronto is coming off one of its best performances of the season against Hamilton. Chad Kelly is also 4-0 in his career against Saskatchewan. Can the Argos keep the momentum going and move above .500 for the first time since June? In OCDC, Ben looks at how Saskatchewan can protect an older, intelligent quarterback with an elite release by leaning on quick-game concepts and essentially replacing parts of the running game with short passes. For Toronto, the starting point is simple: don't forget what worked last week. Establish the running game again, then use Saskatchewan's response against them. Plus, the Injury Report, One Thing, Put Me Down for 20, and Challenge Flag. It's Toronto at Saskatchewan, and we've got you covered on the Xs and Argos Pregame Walkthrough.

This was an ugly one. The Toronto Argonauts went into Edmonton looking to build some momentum after last week's dramatic home win over Calgary. Instead, they leave with perhaps their most concerning loss of the season, falling 42-12 to the Elks and dropping to 4-5. Ben Grant flies solo for this edition of the Postgame Reaction to break down a game where the final score doesn't necessarily tell you which unit struggled most. Believe it or not, Toronto's defence played pretty well. The Argos came in with an excellent plan for Justin Rankin, completely neutralizing one of Edmonton's biggest weapons for much of the afternoon. But after repeatedly being put back on the field by mistakes elsewhere, the defence eventually ran out of gas. The bigger concerns came on offence and special teams. Toronto turned the ball over six times, struggled to establish any kind of running game and had a series of costly drops - including one from sure-handed Damonte Coxie that turned into an Edmonton pick-six. Special teams contributed two missed field goals, a shanked punt, and a fumble on a kickoff return. But perhaps the most troubling development was up front. The Argos' offensive line struggled to protect Chad Kelly even when Edmonton rushed only three or four defenders. When a defence can consistently generate pressure without blitzing, it can drop eight or nine into coverage and make life extremely difficult for any quarterback. Ben breaks down why that's such a major concern going forward - and some of the schematic answers Toronto can use to combat it. There are also some coaching decisions to discuss, including a pair of questionable third-and-short calls, an unusual penalty decision late in the first half, a head-scratching challenge, and the decision to go for two following Kevin Mital's huge catch. And then there are the injuries. Jonathan Kongbo, Kevin Mital, DaShaun Amos, LP Gauthier, Bubba Bolden, and Dave Ungerer all required attention at various points, although most were able to return. There isn't much to celebrate after a 30-point loss, but there is plenty to break down. What went wrong? What can be fixed? And after reaching the halfway point of the season at 4-5, what should concern Argos fans most about this team going forward? It's all on this edition of the Xs and Argos Postgame Reaction.
After an underwhelming lone season in Edmonton, Trev and Reid tackle the ultimate question: Is Jeff Skinner the single worst free-agent signing in Edmonton Oilers franchise history, or is that harsh? Then, the boys run through a full Pacific Division Preview! Which team is poised to take the division crown, who is destined for the basement, and which team will be the biggest surprise when the dust settles next spring? Plus, Trev puts Reid on the hot seat for a rapid-fire round of Oilers "This or That" player predictions heading into the upcoming season, along with a quick check-in on the Edmonton Elks as they prepare for a Saturday afternoon showdown against the Toronto Argonauts at Commonwealth Stadium!

The Edmonton Elks are 6-3 and sitting near the top of the West, but back-to-back losses to Saskatchewan and Montreal have raised questions about just how close this team is to the CFL's elite. We sit down with defensive back Tyrell Ford to assess the Elks' impressive first half, the identity and confidence of their defence, his breakout season in the secondary and what Edmonton learned from its toughest stretch of the schedule. Plus, Ford previews a matchup with Chad Kelly and the Toronto Argonauts and weighs in on whether the Elks have officially established themselves as a legitimate contender.

Fresh off a wild 33-30 victory over Calgary at BMO Field, the 4-4 Toronto Argonauts head west to take on the 6-3 Edmonton Elks in a rare Saturday mid-afternoon matchup. Ben Grant and JB get you set for a fascinating test against one of the CFL's best teams. This week, the guys start with the latest transactions as Toronto makes a couple of moves involving major NCAA programs, bringing former USC defensive back Akili Arnold back into the fold while moving on from former Florida State offensive lineman Darius Washington. Then it's time for a deep dive into late-game clock management. Toronto's final drive against Calgary ended with the win, but did the Argos leave the Stampeders far too much time? Ben breaks down the difference between Clock Preservation Mode and Last Possession Mode, explains when an offence should make the transition, and introduces his formula for determining how much time you should leave on the clock as you move into scoring territory. The guys also tackle one of the biggest questions surrounding the Argos through eight games. Chad Kelly's aggressive style has produced spectacular results, but also plenty of interceptions. This week's Pick Six asks whether Toronto should try to rein him in or accept the turnovers as the price of having one of the CFL's most dangerous quarterbacks. Then it's on to Edmonton. Ben and JB break down the matchup, including how the Argos can prevent Justin Rankin from taking over the game and how Edmonton can use its running backs to put Toronto's defence in conflict. On the other side of the ball, Ben explains why Toronto's receiving corps is perfectly suited for an option-based passing attack and why mesh could be the concept to watch on Saturday. Plus: The latest Injury Report OCDC One Thing Put Me Down for 20 Challenge Flag The Argos are back to .500 and sitting second in the East. Now comes another opportunity to show that the team that emerged from that brutal opening road trip is ready to make some noise in the second half of the season. It's Toronto and Edmonton, Saturday at 3:00 p.m. ET, and the Xs and Argos Pregame Walkthrough has everything you need to get ready.
Edmonton's 6-2 start took a hit in Montreal, as the Elks were beaten 48-30 by the Alouettes in a game where Montreal controlled all three phases. Blake Dermott joins us to break down what went wrong defensively against Davis Alexander and the Als' balanced attack and whether Montreal exposed any legitimate weaknesses in Edmonton's defence. We'll also dig into Mark Kilam's late-half decision to take three points instead of going for it on third down, the limited workload for Justin Rankin and whether there were any positives to take from an offence that struggled to keep pace. Plus, with Edmonton now 2-2 against Montreal and Saskatchewan with another matchup against the Riders still to come, what does that tell us about where this Elks team really stands? And with Chad Kelly and the Toronto Argonauts coming to town Saturday, how does Edmonton bounce back?

Home sweet home. After seven straight games on the road, the Toronto Argonauts finally returned to BMO Field and somehow found a way to pull out a wild 33-30 victory over the Calgary Stampeders. It certainly wasn't easy. On a night when the Argos' offence seemed determined to give the game away, Toronto's defence delivered its most complete performance of the season. The Double Blue held Calgary to under 250 yards of total offence, intercepted Vernon Adams Jr. twice - his first two interceptions of the season - and didn't allow him to throw a single touchdown pass. Those turnovers were especially important because Toronto was having problems of its own. Chad Kelly threw four interceptions as the Argos lost the turnover battle 5-3, yet a special teams touchdown and an outstanding defensive effort kept them within striking distance all night. And then, when they absolutely had to have it, the offence finally came alive. Trailing late in the fourth quarter, Toronto battled back, Sam Hicks ripped off a huge 40-yard touchdown run, and rookie kicker Brady Lidster gave the Argos the lead before Benji Franklin's interception slammed the door on Calgary. Ben Grant and JB break down one of the strangest and gutsiest wins of the season. How did the Argos survive five turnovers? What changed defensively after Calgary put up 58 points in their first meeting? And what can we take away from an offence that struggled badly for much of the night but still produced when the game was on the line? Plus, the guys discuss the other star of Toronto's long-awaited home opener: the new and improved BMO Field. From the pristine grass surface to the upgraded lights, sound system and video boards - and the brand-new North Pavilion boxes enjoyed by several Home Suite Home winners - the World Cup renovations have transformed the Argos' home. After two months away, the Argos are finally back at BMO. And they're back at .500.
Brent Gunning and Sam McKee kick off the final hour by welcoming Toronto Argonauts head coach Mike Miller to the show! They discuss the challenges of starting the season on the road, this evening's last-awaited return to Toronto, and his experience coaching in the CFL. The guys then break down Mike Sando's latest quarterback rankings, debating the futures of J.J. McCarthy and Caleb Williams, while comparing Joe Burrow and Lamar Jackson. Later, Yahoo Sports baseball writer and Céspedes Family BBQ co-host Jake Mintz (27:10) joins to discuss the Blue Jays' series win over the Astros, the surprising Red Sox, and the American League Wild Card race. Brent and Sam wrap up the show with some final thoughts on Toronto's playoff chase.
