Is it time for the Toronto Blue Jays to blow things up and start all over again? We aren’t at the often talked about 60 game mark but Warren Sawkiw seems to think so.  The three take a look at the struggling Toronto Blue Jays and, while they can’t fix the team’s problems themselves, Warren, Bob and John try to see a path where this Blue Jays team could still make the playoffs this year despite a difficult start to the regular season.

After 38 seasons as a coach in the NHL, Rick Bowness has retired from the game of hockey… or at least from coaching the game of hockey.  With his future in the game, Rick’s future is undecided. As he joins the show to end the week of podcasting today, the three take a look back on his career, figure out what went wrong with the Winnipeg Jets in the playoffs and discuss his other former team, the Dallas Stars, as they try to take down the Edmonton Oilers in the Western Conference Final to reach the Stanley Cup Final for the second time in four years.

Announced just a few days ago by the Columbus Blue Jackets, longtime NHL executive Don Waddell has agreed to a multi-year contract to serve as the club’s president of hockey operations, general manager, and alternate governor. Bob and John speak with Don today and learn about his expectations and those set upon him with his new hockey team. As the conversation continues, Don reflects on his time in Carolina with owner Tom Dundon and, with multiple teams sending him job offers, why he chose Columbus as his next challenge.

Jon Paul Morosi joins the show today to talk about the Blue Jays with Bob and John. From the team's management to their players' performance, J.P., Bob, and John assess the job that this organization has done over the last five years and try to see where they went wrong. With a depleted farm system and a tendency to draft poorly, the Toronto Blue Jays are in a tough spot when it comes to the future. Bob, John, and J.P. try to figure out where the team should go from here on today's show.

Bill Walton, a National Basketball Association Hall of Famer and one of the sport's biggest broadcasters, has died at age 71. Richard Deitsch joins the show today as the three reflect on Walton’s career in both basketball and broadcasting. Given Bill’s involvement in social justice issues, Bob, John, and Richard spend some time discussing the social impact an athlete can have. The three wonder whether or not the influence professional athletes have should be used to tackle the world’s issues, and if so, how much weight should these opinions hold?

It’s the beginning of the week, and McCown and Shannon are joined by Arash Madani for some general sports talk. John Shannon said it best - Arash is the type of guy who can hit any curveball you throw at him, and he puts it on full display today. The three bounce from conversation to conversation, starting with the upcoming Summer Olympics and the details behind Canada’s men's basketball team, their roster, and their hopes for gold at the games. International basketball shifts to NBA action as the three break down Dallas’ win over the Timberwolves last night. After the break, the three get into some baseball talk, with the Toronto Blue Jays dropping yet another series, this time to the Detroit Tigers.
