On Thursday's edition of the JD Bunkis Podcast, JD is joined by Sportsnet NHL insider Elliotte Friedman to break down the latest from Leafs media day! The pair question what a "lame duck" GM looks like in season, if the regular season matters to Toronto, what Auston Mathews' next contract might look like, and if Timothy Liljegren's absence could change Rasmus Sandin’s contract situation. Later on, Peter Walker and Josiah Bosch return to offer their thoughts on tonight's Thursday Night Football matchup between the Browns and Steelers (28:50). Then, former running back and current NFL Network analyst Maurice Jones-Drew continues the Thursday Night Football conversation to preview how the Browns' running back duo will fair tonight against the Steelers, and if Mitch Trubisky can overcome his early season struggles (33:22).
