Timestamps Approximate

We kick off in Football Fancave (02:05) with Owen reporting on Toronto FCs historic signing in the MLS of Lorenzo Insigne. Some College Football talk recapping Alabama/Cincinatti and Michigan/Georgia. Lastly NFL Week 17 recap talking the Bengals stunning the Chiefs, the Titans ending the Dolphins run, Browns tantrum, and next weeks Chargers Raiders match up.

In BBall Storylines (16:25) we cover LeBrons belated happy 37th birthday gift to himself 43 pts against the Trailblazers, DeMar DeRozans insane back to back buzzer beaters and the All Star Starter Status that he might have solidified. Ja Morant's wonderful night against the Nets, as well as Trae Young's even more special night in a losing effort that provoked some unusually candid comments from GM Travis Schlenk.

We wrap up with a somewhat dismal talkin' Hockey (33:23) voicing distress and confusion at the lack of hockey in Canada right now, before taking some time to highlight Oveckin's record, a sweet thrashing of the Senators, and hope for similar handling of the Oilers
