The End of the 2026 Jays w/ Ben Nicholson-Smith

JD begins the show reviewing the Toronto Blue Jays' disappointing weekend series in Texas before being joined by Sportsnet's Ben Nicholson-Smith (12:35).

Afterwards, JD shares his takeaways from Week 2 in the NFL and first impressions from Leafs preseason action (43:15).
