Enjoy this special feed drop from our sister show 'In This Economy?!'. The biggest World Cup ever is over – with 13 matches played on Canadian soil. The Canadian men's team saw a fair bit of success on the pitch, but it's more difficult to define success for the host cities, Vancouver and Toronto. Many contend there were some big positives to come out of the event – some of them unexpected. In this episode of In This Economy?! host Kris McCusker speaks to Royce Chwin, President and CEO of Destination Vancouver and Andrew Weir, President and CEO at Destination Toronto about how they measure success, why it might take time for all the “results” to be in, and how this could lead to more big events in the future. We love feedback at The Big Story, as well as suggestions for future episodes.

Dr. Beckett recaps his Toronto card show trip, highlighting how the experience felt almost like the National—spending nearly as much but 90% of his purchases were hockey cards. He describes strategies for finding value and dollar boxes, negotiating volume deals (especially late Sunday), and a key monster-box purchase he immediately dropped off at COMC after securing trust via Jeremy Lee. He details aggressive bargain-pulling (including 400 top-loaded cards in an hour), navigating mixed “$1 and up” boxes, and learning how structured pricing reflects smart dealer business strategy. Beckett shares a vintage type-card reality check on pricing, notes positive interactions with Canadian collectors, and explains that his customs fears proved unfounded despite being prepared with receipts.   00:31 Packing Cards and Customs Worries 01:07 Show Vibe and Finding Value 02:05 Monster Box Deal at Close 03:42 Jeremy Lee Check Assist 05:16 400 Card Dollar Box Sprint 07:11 Negotiating Mixed Price Boxes 09:52 Vintage Type Cards Reality Check 13:32 Customs Non-Issue 14:22 Friends and Show Encounters

What do the following Toronto sports teams have in common: the hockey Leafs, the basketball Raptors, baseball's Blue Jays, soccer's Toronto FC, hockey's Marlies, and the football Argonauts? Answer: Rogers now owns them all. What does that mean for the communications juggernaut, and more importantly, for those of us who expend too much emotional energy cheering for those teams? See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

A set of rivals came to an unexpected agreement recently. Rogers Communications Inc. bought BCE Inc.'s 37.5-per-cent stake in Maple Leaf Sports & Entertainment – the umbrella company that owns the Maple Leafs, the Raptors, the Argos and Toronto FC – for $4.7-billion. The deal makes Rogers the majority owner of all of Toronto's major professional sports teams. Andrew Willis a columnist and reporter for The Globe and Mail's Report on Business and he explains how Rogers has the money to do this, why Bell sold their stake and how one day investors may be able to buy their own stake in their favourite sport team. Questions?

Brian Cooper joins Bob and Richard today to continue yesterday's conversation. The three dig a little deeper into the details of Rogers' 4.7 Billion Dollar Deal To Takeover MLSE, speculating on how it happened & what is to come regarding the future of Rogers, Bell, MLSE and Toronto Sports. 

On hour two of The FAN Morning Show, Ben Ennis & Brent Gunning turn their focus to the return of Bo Bichette around the team. They look at the tough season Toronto's shortstop has had, if it's important to have him around the current squad as well as why or what we hope to see when he returns to the line-up. Next, they welcome Joshua Kloke of The Athletic to talk about his recent piece on the Canada Soccer drone scandal that has questions still regarding John Herdman's role in it (26:23).The views and opinions expressed in this podcast are those of the hosts and guests and do not necessarily reflect the position of Rogers Sports & Media or any affiliate.

Bruce Arthur and Dave Feschuk take a final tour through Toronto's recent sports history. They touch on the bean-counting days of the Ontario Teachers' Pension Plan and Rogers to the more ambitious days of Bell and Rogers, with Larry Tanenbaum in between. They muse on the bad old days of the Leafs, Raptors and Jays to the current era of Brendan Shanahan, Masai Ujiri, and Mark Shapiro in Toronto sports. They consider the end of Alex Anthopoulos, the Raptors title (and the subsequent idea that Kawhi Leonard and Paul George could have come to Toronto), and the many failures, big and small, of the Toronto Maple Leafs. How could it have been different? How do you fix it now? Are the Jays doomed to corporate mediocrity, are the Raptors too far from their championship peak, and have the Leafs accumulated too much baggage to actually have a championship contending window? Arthur and Feschuk take you through the whole big ball of failure, and more.

Daren Millard is filling in for Bob today as he and John welcome Dave Hodge and James Sharman for a two-for-one podcast special.

Building off their conversation from Friday's episode with Adnan Virk: Richard Deitsch, Bob, and John start the week reacting to a disappointing outcome in Boston for the Maple Leafs and the bleak showing of baseball seen from the Blue Jays over the weekend.

The three spend the first half of the show talking about the disappointing progression the Blue Jays have shown over the last few years and try to figure out what the team has to do to course-correct and when. After the break, it's all Maple Leafs. Bob, John and RIchard try to figure out whats next for this organization after a strikingly familiar end to yet another year of unmet expectations and frustrating results.

They talk about the decision to start Martin Jones, the team's composure and persistence to send the game to OT and of course Auston Matthews 30th goal. B&B discuss if a game like that shows that both he & the team is different from ones in the past. Next the morning duo hit on the new-look Raptors who had also had another impressive win in Memphis; then end with a quick discussion on Jays' GM Ross Atkins' comments yesterday (27:05).The views and opinions expressed in this podcast are those of the hosts and guests and do not necessarily reflect the position of Rogers Sports & Media or any affiliate.

Shayna Goldman, NHL writer and co-host of the Too Many Men podcast, joins the show to break down Alex Ovechkin's scoring drought (10:00). JD then offers his Toronto Raptors and Seattle Seahawks thoughts, before ranking the most unwatchable Toronto sports teams of the past decade (50:00). JD and the fellas get into the most beloved athletes to end the show.  The views and opinions expressed in this podcast are those of the hosts and guests and do not necessarily reflect the position of Rogers Sports & Media or any affiliates.

Ben Ennis, co-host of The FAN Morning Show, and Sam McKee from The Real Kyper & Bourne, join JD in-studio to go through the biggest 21st century heartbreaks in Toronto sports (00:00). Next, James Mirtle, Senior Managing Editor with The Athletic, comes on the show to discuss John Tavares' 1000th point moment and reflect on his past, present and future (54:00).

Guests: Toronto Star hockey reporter Kevin McGran, basketball reporter Doug Smith and Deputy Sports Editor Patrick Ho Our sports department spent much of a year compiling historical information and debating tough questions on a simple, maybe even silly, question: when you look at jersey numbers, who is the ultimate Toronto pro athlete to have worn each one? It's a fun assignment, but more difficult that it might seem. At #27 forever, you have at least two bone fide Toronto Maple Leafs legends and a potential Blue Jays legend in the making. Kyle Lowry would seem to be a shoe-in at #7 for Raptors fans, but he's up against a Leafs defender who is a household name across Canada. Meanwhile, the eccentricities of the project mean for some numbers, we're left with an athlete who may leave even seasoned sports fans asking, “who's that?” Our panel goes over some of the most interesting and contentious numbers on the list, including the only one we know of that was retired in honour and then unretired in disgrace. It's the most fun kind of sports conversation, the kind where you remember some players and debate the most interesting and exciting moments from the history of the Raptors, Argos, Toronto FC, The 6, Furies, Blue Jays and Leafs. Produced by Julia De Laurentiis Johnston, Paulo Marques and Edward Keenan Audio Sources: Toronto Blue Jays, Heritage Hockey, NBA, CBC, Global News

Peter Mansbridge joins the show today to scratch a couple of his itches - sports and polotics.    We start with some baseball talk with the Toronto Blue Jays in a tough stretch of poor play. We take a look at whats going wrong with the team before getting into the frustrations the Blue Jans fans face year in and year out... eventually broadening the conversation to Toronto sports fans in general. In the second half of the show, we talk to Peter about todays political climate and find out if theres any part of him that wishes he still was a news anchor.

On the final hour of The Fan Morning Show, live from the 14th Annual Joe Carter Classic at Glen Abbey Golf Club in Oakville, the man himself Joe Carter sits down with us to talk about his great tournament, how it all came together, and how much he still thinks about the home run heard all around Canada in 1993. Soon after, three-time silver slugger and six-time All-Star José Bautista joins us to talk about his time with the Toronto Blue Jays, the love he has for the city of Toronto, the importance of playing in the Joe Carter Classic, and of course his iconic bat flip (11:48). Later on, former Maple Leaf Nazem Kadri chats about winning the Stanley Cup with the Avalanche, his time Toronto, and what it was like to see Phil Kessel win his third Stanley Cup (22:01). To finish the show, former Leafs Captain Dion Phaneuf grabs a headset to chat about his time with the team and why he loves playing in the tournament (32:57). The guys close the show by presenting their best bets of the day, presented by Betano! The views and opinions expressed in this podcast are those of the hosts and guests and do not necessarily reflect the position of Rogers Sports & Media or any affiliates.

Dave Hodge joins us today as we end this week in sports with a conversation about the two active Toronto Sports teams - The Maple Leafs and the Blue Jays.   We preview the Leafs' game five matchup between Florida as we look for indicators that Toronto can actually win this series... and we don't find much. We talk about the pressure Joseph Woll is facing with the series on the line, the lack of production from the teams stars and more before shifting focus over to the Toronto Blue Jays as we try to figure out if this team is the World Series COntender that we all thought they were or if they're just the same team as last year.
