Fighting the Oaks for sunlight
They traded the wrong guy.
good thing they scape goated Marner lol
Most of us listen to you in the background during our work day. We spend 40 hours a week there so not that hard to figure out where 10 of those hours go 😂
Lmfao u should have traded mathews and kept marner!! I no world do i take mathews over marner!!
One hour of your 💩💩💩💩💩 is way more than enough!!!
We were sold heavy cream but got whipped.
JD. Aside from family and friends, you are the only one I can share my sports pain with. I don't know what hurts more. The jays is losing. Or having to go back to watching the leafs
Yeah I turned the game off after 2 periods. I still do not regret it man. I do not like the teams tanatics. Robertson was the only guy…that was skating in 2nd. I was thinking are they just playing so passively bc it's the Berube new defensive system. Nah… they just have fallin out of love for the game.
I can't really think about Jays or baseball right now. Maybe around January I'll get back into it, but for awhile I just want to think about hockey and Australian football.
Glad you’re back on YouTube!
JD Bunkis facing an identity crisis, he has none!
Thank you, JD! I live in Detroit, Michigan, USA. I just wanted a team to beat the Mariners that beat the Detroit Tigers. The Blue Jays did me a favor! Then, I wanted the Blue Jays to at least not get swept. After they won the first game, I wanted them to do better than the Yankees in 2024. Then, I wanted them to win the World Series for Canada 🇨🇦. So, I was devastated when they lost. I'm not even Canadian and think of provinces like states. I don't even know who the leader of Canada is, but the Toronto Blue Jays made the World Series an actual Series outside of just the US. Thank you, JD, for helping me through the sadness 😔. At least the Raptors won a championship relatively recently 👏 . Go, Blue Jays, go!!
Crisis? As usual, everything is blown out of proportion for views.
This city and its fans need to collectively step back and look at these teams after the regular season and playoffs respectively. This constant overreaction a few games into any given season does no good. It’s a more sad state of affairs than the way the Leafs play a lot of the time.
@0:37 By "Once again an everyday sports show for 2 hours" What you really mean is You mean 2 hours total, 1+ hour Leafs, <1 hour all other sports.
The GO trains are run by Doug Ford and the Province BTW.
