On the final hour of today's FAN Morning Show, Ben Ennis and Brent Gunning welcome on Daily Faceoff's Frank Seravalli!

After the break, the guys are joined by Jared Carrabis from Underdog’s Baseball is Dead podcast to discuss Game 3 of the World Series, the Yankees teetering on the edge, and the comforting certainty that the 2004 Red Sox playoff feat will remain unduplicated for another year (22:08).

Ben Ennis and Brent Gunning kick off hour two by discussing how the re-signing of Jake McCabe does not appear to be a concern for the Leafs and their 'developing' defensive core. They then praise a moral Raptors triumph in another loss, as well as a Monday Night Football game in which Daniel Jones 'dressed up' as himself in prime time once more. They are then joined by Trey Wingo (25:12) of the Alternate Routes Podcast to talk about Week 8 in the NFL.

Ben Ennis and Brent Gunning begin the show by analyzing a Maple Leafs victory on Monday night, which highlighted players' increased skills. They discuss Max Pacioretty's strange, but immediately impactful move to the second line, the 2024 version of John Tavares dressed as his 2018/19 self, and the power play units morphing into actual NHL powerplay units. On the other hand, they try to make sense of the Yankees' offense not 'dressing up' like their regular season selves, the Dodgers' pitching staff being inflated as a fully loaded one, and hip-hop artist Fat Joe attempting to emulate Ice Cube's ability to energize a home crowd (27:50).

In the final segment, the pair connect with Thomas Hickey of NHL Network (27:10). They shift the conversation back to the Maple Leafs to preview tonight’s matchup against the Winnipeg Jets.

On hour two of The FAN Morning Show, Ben Ennis & Brent Gunning welcome Sportsnet 590 Leafs Analyst and Insider Gord Stellick.

In the second half, the boys look at Week 8 in the NFL discussing the battle of the number one and two picks and the miracle 52-yard Hail Mary TD that will forever connect them (25:51).

The FAN Morning Show goes into its final hour of the week and the focus is Toronto sports teams and their early season returns. Brent Gunning and Sho Alli start with the Maple Leafs, who after playing their most complete game in recent memory, had two very poor performances against teams viewed as lesser them then. To discuss why that may be, today’s morning pair welcome on Sportsnet’s own Jason Bukala. The founder of the Pro Hockey Group weighs in on the shortcomings of Toronto's the power play, some bad habits continuing, who has been the team's most underwhelming player, as well as who has been the most consistent in the way head coach Craig Berube wants to play. Next, we turn our their attention to the Raptors alongside Vivek Jacob, writer of the weekly newsletter "Raptors in 7" on Substack and Sportsnet contributor (30:38). The trio discuss what and who needs to be better, Scottie Barnes' growth this season as the leader and what a successful season in Toronto would look like, before quickly hitting on a few other stories around the league centred around former Raptor, Kawhi Leonard.

On hour two of The FAN Morning Show, Brent Gunning & Sho Alli look at Sunday’s slate of Week 8 in the NFL and if the Thursday Nighter was any indication, it should be a good one. The duo quickly reset on the game between the Lions and the Rams before bringing on Charles Davis of the NFL on CBS. The trio then dives deeper into the two divisions, the NFC North and West, to determine who should be seen as the favourites. Next, they welcome MLB Network’s Jon Morosi (27:14) for his thoughts on who holds the upper hand heading into the Fall Classic.

Brent Gunning & Sho Alli kick off The FAN Morning Show discussing if they should be worried about the Toronto Maple Leafs after the team threw up another dud of a game last night. The duo broke down how for the second game in a row, they came out super flat again and seemed to have no energy or legs. This has been a recurring problem for Toronto in the past so can Berube fix the tall task and eliminate these types of games? B&S give you their thoughts on it and what they say from Joseph Woll in his first game of the season. In the back end of the hour, today’s morning pair give some thoughts on the World Series which gets going tonight and the Thursday Night Football game that was quite entertaining (31:43).
