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.

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.

The Blue Jays are still alive. Toronto avoided a sweep in Texas with a much-needed 7-2 win over the Rangers on Sunday, improving to 77-79 with six games remaining. The Jays enter the final week of the regular season three games behind the Chicago White Sox for the final AL Wild Card spot, with Chicago owning the head-to-head tiebreaker.On game 157 preview of Flight Deck, Dan Riccio breaks down Toronto's season-saving win in Arlington. The Blue Jays put together 11 hits against Jacob deGrom and the Rangers, with Nathan Lukes and Charles McAdoo each driving in two runs. Brett Bateman was the catalyst at the top of the order, reaching base three times and scoring all three times as Toronto finally generated consistent offence.The game broke open in the seventh inning, when Toronto scored four runs to turn a one-run lead into a comfortable advantage. Spencer Miles provided three scoreless innings as the opener before the bullpen combined to shut Texas down the rest of the way, allowing the Jays to escape Arlington with at least one win.But the victory came with another injury concern. Vladimir Guerrero Jr. exited in the fourth inning with lower-back tightness, an issue that had already been bothering him entering the game. John Schneider said the Blue Jays were being cautious and hoped Vladdy would be ready for Monday, making his status something to watch ahead of first pitch.Dan will also get into the latest concern surrounding Dylan Cease. Toronto's ace was sent for an MRI on his right shoulder after experiencing decreased velocity in his latest start and has already been scratched from Wednesday's scheduled outing. With only six games left, could the Blue Jays be without their best starter for the remainder of the regular season?Looking ahead, Trey Yesavage returns from the injured list to start the series opener in Baltimore. Yesavage enters at 5-5 with a 3.65 ERA and 91 strikeouts after missing time with left-knee inflammation. Toronto is expected to limit him to roughly three innings or 45-50 pitches, putting plenty of pressure on an already heavily used bullpen.Baltimore counters with Shane Baz, who enters at 6-15 with a 4.11 ERA and 152 strikeouts. The Orioles are 75-81 and coming off a three-game sweep at the hands of Milwaukee, meaning both AL East teams enter this series desperately trying to keep their fading postseason hopes alive.There is no room left for a prolonged slump. Toronto's postseason elimination number is down to three, and even winning out may require help from around the American League. Can Yesavage give the Jays what they need in his return, can the offence build off Sunday's 11-hit performance, and can Toronto keep its season alive for another night?We finish with Dan's picks presented by bet365.LIVE every game day one hour before first pitch right here on the Blue Jays Nation YouTube channel and on Instagram @BlueJaysNation.Subscribe and turn on notifications so you never miss an episode of Flight Deck.Thanks to our partners:bet365: http://www.bet365.caTable Fare + Social: https://www.tablefoodhall.com/#BlueJays #TorontoBlueJays #MLB #BlueJaysNation #FlightDeck Hosted on Acast.
