Justin Arenburg and Brandon Brown are back for episode 29 of the Second Look Sports podcast minus Alex Mandarino who was at a wedding, no, not his own. Justin and Brandon start the show by talking about the Toronto Blue Jays, possibly the world’s best baseball team at the moment and why general manager Ross Atkins might deserve some credit. Later the guys talk about the NHL free agency window with the winners and losers, Mitch Marner going to the Vegas Golden Knights, Nic Ehlers going to the Carolina Hurricanes and a lot more. To wrap up the show Brandon plays a little game to remember what the Toronto Maple Leafs just lost with Mitch Marner.

The two kick things off chatting a mild OKC Thunder NBA championship celebration (4:16) before diving into a lacklustre NBA draft (11:38), despite some controversial moments, including a questionable reaction for Toronto Raptors first round pick Collin Murray-Boyles (15:28). The crew then transition over to the NHL, where the Utah Mammoth made a splash before the NHL draft (30:03), snagging JJ Peterka for a less than desirable haul.

The duo wrap up by celebrating Max Scherzer's return to the Blue Jays rotation (52:16), and wonder if there is a more beneficial use for the right-hander for both team and player (53:18).

Alex, Justin & Brandon are BACK, just like the Edmonton Oilers and Florida Panthers in the Stanley Cup Finals for the second year in a row.

Later, the team transitions over to hoops, where they discuss the commanding nature of the Oklahoma City Thunder, and whether they likely already have the NBA Championship locked up (1:28:10). Finally, the guys touch on the Eastern Conference Finals (1:43:15), and if the Stefon Diggs signing in New England is already proving to be damning (1:48:57).

On Episode 23 of Second Looks Sports, Brandon Brown and Justin Arenburg start by taking a deep dive into everything that went wrong for the Toronto Maple Leafs over the last decade with special guest Anthony Petrielli. The boys stick with hockey afterwards to discuss whether or not the NHL is entering a regrettable phase with four teams, nearly repeating in the conference finals, before switching to the NBA to discuss the choke job by the New York Knicks. Quickly, the guys switch gears to SGA and debate now with the MVP, does he become the best Canadian basketball player ever? Finally the boys wrap up with Scottie Scheffler's PGA Championship victory and why he might be entering GOAT status in the golf world.

Alex, Justin & Brandon kickstart this episode by dissecting an excruciating night for Toronto hockey fans as the Leafs drop Game 5 to the Panthers in familiar fashion (0:30). The trio then offer praise for the Edmonton Oilers as the first Canadian team in the Conference Finals, making light work of their series with Vegas after Kasperi Kapanen's over time winner (24:19).

Finally, the crew weighs in on a wildly entertaining second round in the NBA playoffs (1:19:32), before judging a highly....convenient....NBA Draft lottery (1:36:16).
