Just A Bit Outside: The Premier Vancouver Sports Podcast

This episode is truly a podcast unlike any other. With this being Masters week, we pay our respects to one of the most iconic events in sports. We also remember a Vancouver sports broadcast pioneer we lost this past week, and give you a taste of his controversial work, courtesy of CKNW. All this plus our World Series picks, some awful officiating to end March Madness, and the final chapter of the career of a WWE legend at Wrestlemania. Garbage Time and shoutouts to end as always.

Now that the Raiders are officially headed to Las Vegas, the only question left is will fans show up to Raiders games in Oakland or will they burn the stadium to the ground? It's a legitimate question. Speaking of football, is the CFL finally learning how to market itself? We talk a little golf, since the best tourney of the year is coming up, and of course we continue the discussion on the Canucks rebuild and looking ahead to the competition for spots heading into next year. All this and more, including some "special" shout outs in Garbage Time!

Yes, Vancouver Canucks fans, there are three types. The question is, where do you fit? Geoff believes most belong to one group while Brendan makes his plea for a change in mindset. We also discuss the upcoming season for the Seattle Mariners and possibility of a major change for the Seattle Seahawks. Stay tuned for Garbage Time and we look into the theory that Shaquille O'Neal's poor free throw shooting may have to do with the fact he believes the world is flat.

In this world there are always winners and losers. Sadly, as this episode shows, there are always far more losers than winners. This week we applaud Adam Hadwin, Brad Gushue and the Calgary Flames on their winning ways. We also look NFL free agency, in particular moves made by the Browns, Seahawks and Patriots. Switching gears, we discuss TSN 1040 losing the rights to Canucks radio broadcasts and the continued drama surrounding the team. In Garbage Time we call out two major losers, the Ball family and the fans of Paris St. Germain.

There's a lot of hate out there for coach Willie D right now, but we have some love for him and the job his staff has done. Some shouts outs to the positives happening in the other Canadian NHL cities, and how one NFL prospect missed out on earning an island. All this and more in Garbage Time, with an honourable mention for Australia!

Currently sitting in his penthouse sipping some well deserved champagne is none other than Vancouver Canucks GM Jim Benning. This week we take a look at what was a fantastic trade deadline for Vancouver and watch a few fans in Canucks nation do some backpedaling. We also look at the Canadian teams who made noise at the trade deadline, plus we discuss the homophobic words of a former NBA player just days after receiving an MLK award, ironically enough for tolerance! All that and another installment of Garbage Time.

Apparently the Earth is flat, at least according to one athlete who "attended college". We have fact checked and confirmed it was NOT clown college. After that, we get into the over-under on how many times a former NFL player will get arrested outside of a strangers house while naked (it's 3!) We have extensive trade deadline coverage, including an angry rant by Brendan on bandwagon Canucks fans, plus some family drama and feel good moments in Garbage Time!

According to Geoff they are not just a great way to stay warm, but they are entertaining as well. The dumpster fire otherwise known as the New York Knicks leads us off today, with possibly the worst owner in sports acting like a petulant child. We talk some Canucks, and finally submit to a little deadline discussion, plus a reflection on Gustav Nyquist spearing Jared Spurgeon in the face.

Since we talked about ownership issues, we dive into the topic of owners and businesses doing whatever they can to make a buck, regardless of who they step on. It comes with a bit of life advice for dealing with these scenarios. Plus the good, bad, and ugly in Garbage Time!

If you haven't heard, there was a pretty epic Super Bowl to recap this week. Did the Patriots win it or did the Falcons choke? We argue that the answer has to be both. With the Canucks out on a six game road trip, we discuss what will be a make or break stretch for the team and what to expect heading towards the trade deadline. We also look at a couple of NHL coach firings and the possibility of the leagues return to the great city of Hartford. Stay tuned for Garbage time where Geoff proclaims Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson as a sleeper pick for the 2020 presidential election.
