Around the Horn: NFL, Olympics & Blue Jays

The FAN Morning Show

In the final hour of The FAN Morning Show this week, Brent Gunning and Matt Marchese start off on the Blue Jays’ page discussing Vlad Guerrero Jr. and his incredible hot streak at the plate. They welcome on Sportsnet’s own Ben Nicholson-Smith to share his thoughts on what this recent run could mean for Vlad's off-season trajectory, before getting into the need for management to build around him. Next, we turn our attention to Paris 2024 and chat with Canadian Olympian and World Champion Hurdler, Perdita Felicien, who is working as an analyst for CBC during the Games (16:48). She offers some great insight into being an athlete competing with an aggravated injury (i.e. Andre De Grasse) or an illness (i.e. Noah Lyles), before discussing what it will take to medal in the 4x100m relay for both the Canadian men's and women’s teams. To end the week, the duo check in with veteran NFL linebacker turned analyst, Sam Acho, for some of the main training camp storylines, before sharing how much stock players actually put into the preseason (31:55).
