In Episode 5 the guys switch it up. Kim is out this week but the rest of us somehow made it through without him. Rather than jumping all over the sports world, we analyze what we think is wrong with the Toronto Maple Leafs (1:33 - a conversation led by Steve who, admittedly, hasn't watched more than 45 minutes of hockey in total this entire season) and then we answer the burning question "Who Do You Root For When Your team Is Out?" (14:55). Please rate, review and share The (new) Athletic Supporters.
