Tall Can Audio - A Pint Of Canadian Sports Talk

On an all new episode of TCS, the boys have a ton to cover on the slowest sports day of the year in North American sports.

Up first, former Ottawa Senators goaltender Ray Emery passes away at the age of 35. The guys look back at some of the most fun memories of one of the league's biggest personalities. How did we get here and are there lessons to be learned from this sad story?

Following that, we're joined by our NBA expert Matty Laing to discuss the Toronto Raptors huge move as they trade possibly the best player in franchise history to bring in a controversial figure who, if healthy, could be a top 5 player in the league right now. Is this a good day for a Toronto team who has been beating their head against the wall for a couple years now? Are fans right to be upset after seeing a guy who loved the city shipped out of town?

And then, the guys touch briefly on the Columbus Blue Jackets and whether or not they are about to lose their biggest scorer over the fact that no one in the city speaks Russian.

Also on this edition, Terrell Owens has triggered a stand off with the Edmonton Eskimos that has forced them to make a contract offer to the 44 year old retired receiver... or let him walk, likely to a different CFL team. What's going on here? Does this guy seriously want to play in Canada or is this a strange publicity stunt? Where else might he fit in the league?

And finally, is there untying to worry about inside RNation as the REDBLACKS sit at 2 and 2 after 5 weeks in the CFL. Did their QB make an ass of himself with his half hearted stand after their most recent loss?

For supposedly the slowest day in North American sport, there sure is a lot on the agenda. Buckel up and join us for some summer sports talk.

Welcome back to your Monday morning episode of Tall Can Sports, this week with Matty Laing.

The guys start things off discussing the horrendous performance of the Toronto Blue Jays of late. And more importantly, how they're likely to handle the impending return of star closer Roberto Osuna. Is there any chance he pitches for the Jays again or might their corporate overlords - Rogers - make that decision for them?

Speaking of corporate overlords, Matty addresses the move Lebron James has made to the LA Lakers and what the motivations might have been. Given his road to a championship just got immeasurably more difficult, was this move more about business than sport? Is he more interested in glitz and glamour than winning titles? What does this mean for the rest of the Western Conference in the NBA?

And speaking of business and sport, the guys talk about John Tavares merging his brand to the Maple Leafs brand like Lebron is doing with the Lakers. What are Matty's thoughts on Tavares finally being the Ontario kid to come home after so many before him passed? What does the move mean for the rest of the league and did Mike Babcock actually foreshadow this the day he high profile coach landed in Toronto?

All this and lots more as we kick off another week with you with tons of great sports talk.

Pretty simple premise on this episode of the flagship - Matt and Rob rip on the ridiculous stuff America does to celebrate the 4th of July including contests to see who can shove the most food down their fat necks at once and how far you can fling your car off a cliff - all in the name of independence.... I guess.

That and much more on the latest Audio Whiplash.

After all the chaos surrounding the John Tavares saga began to calm down, the guys remembered there were 30 other teams who made moves. Can you believe it?

Matt and Rob give some attention to the other signings and trades that we've seen over the last week or so including WTF the Canucks are thinking, the big Sabres deal with the Blues, the departure of a couple long time Leafs for new teams, the Flames grabbing another top end shooter and lots more.

The guys finish up the show with the latest on the Karlsson and Ottawa Senators contract/trade talks. It continues to get ugly in the nation's capital.
