Ben starts the week with the Jays/Rangers series with serious playoff implications, and to put that into perspective, we speak with Ryan Dempster – Canadian MLB pitcher and now on MLB Network. Later, Mike Trout trade rumours and what it’s like for a player when they are traded in the media and, in Ryan's case – without conversation – despite having a no-trade clause. Next, Alvin Williams recaps the incredible run by Canada, why the tournament doesn’t resonate in the US, LeBron trying to recruit the next Dream Team and why the Olympics are the top of the mountain for international hoops (25:56). Later, Shi Davidi from Rogers Centre on the Jays/Rangers, whether David Schneider needs a regular spot on the roster next year, plus, reports today that Alek Manoah is out for the rest of the season (1:02:56). We close with Peter King of NBC on Week 1 in the NFL and how the weeks ends in New York City on the anniversary of 9/11 (1:18:22).
