I literally had to stop my car to type this. Disheartening to hear but like Alex, you will be back on your terms. Respect to those that quit and move on to other things.

[@jaspinderbirdi9593]

Thank you Will for everything 🎉🙏🏼🙌

[@soulstice99]

Whatever your take cant deny Will's dedication and prodigious output for the Raptors over the years

[@Bilnation]

Congrats on a great run Will, and look forward to subscribing to what you cook up next.

[@cool_awesome_dude]

I'm teary eyed watching a show about the Toronto Raptors lol. I haven't even watched the last 10 Raptor games, but I still watch the show. Good luck Will, I'm gonna follow where ever you go! Smeagol and Deagol forever!

[@kattmeating8315]

Will, as a raps fan you’re the only guy that i find interesting and informative to listen to about the team. You’re the man good luck wherever you’re going!

[@Legendary91]

Appreciate you Will.

[@hoalanho]

No Alex = no Will? I hope there is a reunion, in a medium that allows for your combined creativity to shine.

[@wilseph1]

That inevitable Will Lou x stevenlebron reunion is going to be glorious!

[@hoalanho]

Now it's clear that the earlier round of guest hosts were actually try-outs to replace Will.

[@Pewa4real]

Damn.. well this is a lesson to embrace change! Let’s see what sportsnet does to keep us engaged and tuned in for us Raptors fans who’ve come here for this show!

[@rickirodriguez2378]

Thanks Will you & Alex were the only Podcast I looked forward to listen to every day appreciate you brotha 🙏🏻💪🏼💯

[@sungjooann]

Stopped watching after Alex left. Somehow the video came up as a suggestion and the title caught my eye. Wishing you nothing but the best Will. Will be following your next venture

[@FrancisSiuChock]

Will, you deserve every bit of your success through your dedication and hard work! Following your passion and never giving up means so much to us die-hard Raptors fans. I wish you nothing but continued success and good luck. I really hope the Raptors Show continues, especially with Blake on board!

[@seanjjpaul]

Damn that’s upsetting. Been watching and listening you for a long time Will

[@DeepSweetSoulful]

Will is an exceptional contributor to the Raptors community and has done an great job with this program. Top class. Thanks and continued success.

[@steveshaw5643]

You'll be MISSED Will! Thanks for everything man!

[@TheShwa]

You are the voice of the Raptors to so many of us.

[@notDonaldFagen]

Tbh, I mostly enjoyed Banter Pods with Alex. Will's solo post-games, And player/staff interviews. I do like Blake a lot too, I'll still tune in. But I need more 'memey' content, for the lulz, and cultural jokes, some cussing, and being less PC, like the peak Yahoo days.

[@rkbones9377]

I miss Alex on your show so what ever you decide to do I hope Alex is involved. The show sorely misses him.

[@lootcharlie9668]

Thanks for everything will!! Please hire Amit sportsnet!!

[@user-vs4qu5pi6g]

This is heartbreaking! There's no Raptors show without the brilliant mind and father of the Gerald Henderson award!

[@bigboi3512]

Next year will be a good year, good luck in the future

[@notDonaldFagen]

I hope Amit gets the call. Samson maybe, too.

[@lumpyrex007]

Es could get the call. I wanna see Zarar :D Lindsay Dunn could surprise everyone.

[@lootcharlie9668]

Amit would be great! He can hoop too so I trust his take

[@user-vs4qu5pi6g]

The comedic and improv between Will and Alex has been missed but Blake offered a good dynamic to the show.

[@chrisrandles857]

Hope all the best for Will! Sportsnets should look at Samson Folk to join the show.

[@jamietaylor9549]

You will be missed, looking forward to what you have next. Why did McDaniel's get a 2 year deal? Since we're discussing things that are difficult to understand right now.

[@cissem4025]

2:09, this why they loved fred, can't blame them, hes a very respectful person, but the biased reporting prob led to more people disliking him

[@Matty-vw8vw]

He WAS your host, Will Lou.

[@edissa9076]

What happens next with the show

[@jackuzzi5251]

Yeah good one Will. I could see this coming when a few months back you said (I paraphrase ) something about not being fair to the audience trying to report good stuff on a sub par team.

[@mollyweir9350]

This was on Darko to hold thise guys (OG & Pascal ) accountable. It wasn't like it is the 1st time their names were in trade rumors. That would have never happen under NN, Ime or Thibs. This is why IQ defense is nit as hood in Toronto b/c the coach don't hold guys accountable on that end.

[@michaelwhiter4308]

Not sure on this coach

[@MrStick-hx1ph]

Har har har

[@MrStick-hx1ph]

Sup

[@Htiy]

NOOO WILL NOOOOO

[@MrStick-hx1ph]

Heweo

[@69gvfb]

So who is taking over? I can't listen to the entire episode

[@1800LUNATIC]

Hasn’t been announced yet. I probably will not tune in anymore, but the new pod that will and Alex start will be great I’m sure

[@WUDAT]

Bring back Jack and get some knowledge on the show. Maybe throw in Sherm Hamilton and/or Jonesy.

[@amberm2168]

love them all but they can't run a daily show. their analyses are great before and after a raptors game but a daily show. will and alex had it for this show, and will have it when they move on to their next project. if it's going to be just blake, all the best to him, but will and alex are the reason why i began listening on sportsnet

[@michaelwhiter4308]

OG was a better on ball defender than Scottie

[@nickrael5693]

This has to do with something with Alex which I was glad he left. I bet he teams up with him again on his next personal podcast show. Lame. Thought him Blake were great for basketball

[@n5brown]

Please replace Will with someone with personality. Blake is BORING and his stats are nauseating. If Blake is the main guy I won't be watching. That said, the Raps are gonna stink for years. Its a waste of time to focus on them. I'd prefer that they do a broader NBA show

[@vivivixen09]

Blake is a snooze fest sorry. Hope they cancel this show now without Will.

[@djkash3]

Pensare is better

[@lumpyrex007]

Pensare can't take any push back. Very weak ego and talks down about others in an instant. But his takes in general are good and objective. Its like autism or Asperger's or something.

[@BeLeaf789]

Major cringe

[@sunnybasil4742]

yea, only to those who are spineless

[@alborzbohloli4312]

Will had a very negative tone, and I never liked him as a host. I’m glad he’s gone.
