UFC Freedom 250 in discussion

Saturday, June 13, 2026 • Duration 21:59

Host Brenden Escott and Technical Producer Kellen Kennedy dive into one of the most controversial combat sports stories of the year on 880 CHED's Inside Sports. The duo discusses the UFC's proposed Freedom 250 event, scheduled to take place on the grounds of the White House in Washington, D.C., and the political, logistical, and public reaction surrounding the unprecedented fight card. Will a UFC event at the White House become a historic moment for mixed martial arts, or is it a publicity stunt that has sparked more questions than excitement? Escott and Kennedy break down the debate, examine what UFC Freedom 250 could mean for the sport's future, and explore the challenges of hosting a major MMA event at one of the world's most recognizable landmarks. Listen to Inside Sports for expert analysis, spirited discussion, and the latest updates on UFC Freedom 250, Dana White, mixed martial arts, combat sports, and the intersection of sports and politics.

Canada Soccer discussion

Saturday, June 13, 2026 • Duration 20:54

Host Brenden Escott breaks down a historic result for Jesse Marsch's Canadian side, including Cyle Larin's dramatic 78th-minute equalizer—his first goal for Canada since July 2024—and why the national team remains unbeaten whenever Larin finds the back of the net. We dive into Canada's encouraging performance, highlighted by 60 percent possession, a number of dangerous attacking sequences and strong contributions from the bench, including Ali Ahmed, Promise David, and Jacob Shaffelburg. We also discuss the areas that still need improvement, from missed scoring opportunities to Canada's struggles in aerial battles, where Bosnia and Herzegovina held a clear advantage. Plus, we examine the standout performances from Stephen Eustáquio and a Canadian backline led by Alistair Johnston, Richie Laryea, Derek Cornelius, and Luc De Fougerolles, who delivered a determined 90-minute effort in front of goalkeeper Maxime Crépeau. With Canada's first World Cup point finally secured and the expanded 48-team tournament creating new opportunities, we look ahead to what comes next and assess the team's chances of advancing out of the group stage for the first time in program history.

Peter Berce from SiriusXM NHL Network Radio

Saturday, June 13, 2026 • Duration 22:44

With the World Cup in full swing, we check in from Toronto to discuss the excitement surrounding the tournament and what it's like to be in one of Canada's soccer hotbeds during the biggest sporting event on the planet. We also break down a Stanley Cup Final that has swung firmly in Carolina's favour after back-to-back Hurricanes victories. What's changed since the start of the series? Is Vegas dealing with a goaltending issue, a defensive issue, or both? Plus, we discuss the impact of William Karlsson's absence and what the Golden Knights must do to force a Game 7. The Edmonton Oilers remain one of the NHL's biggest stories as the organization awaits the outcome of the league's investigation into Mike Babcock. We discuss the reaction around the league, whether the game has evolved beyond Babcock's coaching style and where Edmonton could turn if he isn't an option. Could Darryl Sutter be a realistic candidate? Plus, the latest on the Maple Leafs' coaching search, reports that Darnell Nurse may be open to a trade out of Edmonton and whether the surging Toronto Blue Jays are finally starting to look like a legitimate contender.

Brenden Escott opens the June 12 show

Saturday, June 13, 2026 • Duration 20:24

Canada has officially secured its first-ever point at a FIFA World Cup, drawing 1-1 with Bosnia and Herzegovina at Toronto Stadium in a match they could have easily won. Cyle Larin provided the breakthrough in the 78th minute, and Canada now turns its attention to Qatar in Vancouver next Thursday. In the Stanley Cup Final, Carolina edged Vegas 4-2 on 880 CHED to take a 3-2 series lead. We break down how the Hurricanes’ goaltending change has stabilized things in net, and how their structure has effectively suffocated the Golden Knights’ attack. Around the NHL, Darnell Nurse has agreed to waive his no-move clause as he and the Oilers explore a trade, while there is still no update on the Mike Babcock situation. Meanwhile, Connor McDavid and Evan Bouchard were both honoured as NHL All-Stars, and McDavid finished runner-up in the Hart Trophy race to Nikita Kucherov. In the NBA Finals, the New York Knicks completed a stunning Game 4 comeback to take a 3-1 series lead, highlighted by a dramatic late tip-in from former Raptor OG Anunoby—who is firmly in the NBA Finals MVP conversation. And in MLB action, the Toronto Blue Jays open a key series against the New York Yankees with Trey Yesavage taking the mound.

Stingers captain Nick Hornsby

Thursday, June 11, 2026 • Duration 22:50

Edmonton Stingers captain Nick Hornsby joins Brenden Escott on Inside Sports as he returns for his fourth season with the club after another successful campaign overseas in Indonesia. We discuss the differences between international basketball and the CEBL, how he stays connected with the Stingers while playing abroad and why Edmonton continues to be the place he calls home every summer. Hornsby also shares his thoughts on this year's roster, the growth of the CEBL since he entered the league, his relationship with Head Coach and General Manager Jordan Baker and what it means to serve as captain of one of the league's flagship franchises. Plus, we examine the expectations surrounding the Stingers and why he believes this group has the potential to do something special.

Sportsnet’s Adam Stanley

Thursday, June 11, 2026 • Duration 21:34

We preview this week’s Canadian Open at TPC Toronto at Osprey Valley, breaking down everything from course setup to championship expectations. What kind of test will players face this weekend, and are we in for another low-scoring birdie-fest or a setup that brings strategy and patience into play? We look at how weather conditions might shape scoring and which style of player is best suited to contend on this layout. The conversation also dives into the strength of this year’s field—being called the deepest in 25 years—and why so many of the game’s biggest stars are making their way north of the border. We also explore one of the event’s signature experiences in “The Rink,” and how it has helped create a unique atmosphere that sets this tournament apart on the PGA Tour schedule. Finally, we hear insights from Tournament Director Ryan Paul and close with predictions on what the biggest storyline will be when the final putt drops on Sunday.
