The Good Hour with Ben Ennis + Leafs Hot Takes with James Mirtle

The Good Hour kicks off with Ben Ennis and JD Bunkis looking into whether this current Maple Leafs' group can still be viewed as polarizing, the impact of Toronto's sports media, and the rising temperature of Leafs Nation (00:23). The guys switch gears to the hardcourt to chat about the Raptors’ sneaky potential to contend, before discussing the most hated teams in North America and where the Houston Astros rank on that list (27:35). Later on, Senior Editor for The Athletic James Mirtle joins JD to talk about the early season storylines surrounding the Maple Leafs! The pair question if the numbers ten games in tell a story, the next steps for this group, and what's on the horizon for Sheldon Keefe (50:18). Afterwards, we look ahead to Week 9 in the NFL to sniff out some intriguing betting lines, presented by Draft Kings! (1:22:41) JD wraps up with the biggest stories we missed today including Kevin Durant's comments on Toronto, and more! 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 affiliates.
