Is Toronto a Tough City to Play In? + Championship Sunday Recap

Ben Ennis and Sho Alli end Monday morning by chatting with Maple Leafs historian Damien Cox. They discuss Mitch Marner's return to Toronto, his mixed reception from fans, and whether the perception of the city as a tough place to play has changed over 25 years. Damien weighs in on the team's playoff potential and trade options as the deadline approaches, as well as the impact of potential coaching changes. After the break, they welcome Trey Wingo (21:55) to analyze the AFC Championship game, Sean Payton's controversial decision-making, and the Patriots' resurgence. They also touch on Sam Darnold's impressive comeback and the strengths of this year's Seahawks team, giving credit to coaches Mike McDonald and Mike Vrabel for their teams’ quick turnarounds. Ben and Sho wrap up by sharing their first impressions of the upcoming Super Bowl.The views and opinions expressed in this podcast are those of the hosts and guests and do not necessarily reflect the position of Rogers Sports & Media or any affiliate.
