Eric joins from a log cabin he panic-booked four hours before the show to bury his head in the snow after the Leafs’ latest game seven heartbreak. The boys recount their most painful sports moments (warning: some scars never heal). Then we lift the mood with our first ever Destiny Draft — Spoon rips two fresh packs of baseball cards, and we each pick a fantasy team to ride with for the week ahead. Spoiler: we pulled some heat.

Plus:
•⁠ ⁠Spoon’s Good, Bad & Ugly from the week
•⁠ ⁠Eric and Spoon’s best picks heading into the weekend

Eric’s spiraling because the Maple Leafs are one game from golf season, Spoon’s suspiciously calm, and Rolsey’s mic sounds like it was recorded in a broom closet — but we press on.

This week’s Weekend Pickoff covers: the rules of our upcoming Baseball Card Draft Destiny (yes, it’s unhinged), Eric’s frozen Toronto sports soul, Spoon’s rare moment of peace, and best bets for the weekend.

Ignore the mic issues. Blame Rolsey. Embrace the degeneracy.

We sat down with MLB Pipeline’s Jonathan Mayo — draft guru, prospect whisperer, and (probably) way too knowledgeable about 19-year-olds who rake — to break down the pointy end of the college baseball season.
Who should casual fans actually be watching? Which future big-leaguers are lighting it up? And yes, we squeezed in a very biased Brent Iredale + Arkansas Razorbacks question because we’re professionals.
