TSN’s OVERDRIVE Celebrates 10 Years as Hayes, Noodles, and The O-Dog Share Their Top 10 Most Memorable Moments
– TSN’s fan-favourite weekday talk show marks a decade of informing and entertaining Canadian sports fans –
TORONTO (February 23, 2026) – TSN’s beloved weekday sports talk show, OVERDRIVE Presented by FanDuel, celebrates its 10th anniversary today, marking a decade of being an afternoon staple on Canada’s Sports Leader.
As Canada’s #1 sports talk show, OVERDRIVE has provided fans with a decade’s worth of entertaining insights into life in the sports world, including interviews with players, coaches, reporters, and industry insiders, along with a healthy dose of hilarious banter from hosts Bryan Hayes, Jamie “Noodles” McLennan, and Jeff “The O-Dog” O’Neill.
“Hitting the 10-year mark means the world to us and we don’t take it lightly. We’re so lucky to be able to turn the mics on every day and shoot from the hip,” said Hayes. “The longevity of OVERDRIVE is built on the way we try to attack every topic with energy and enthusiasm. We have great chemistry, and we’ve grown a lot over 10 years, but the core principle of the show hasn’t changed a bit: have fun. We’re still having a blast.”
“The memories all blend together because we’ve blinked and it’s been 10 years,” said McLennan. “The show works because it’s three friends talking openly and honestly about everything: sports, pop culture, our own experiences, and silly things that happen in daily life. With the respect the three of us have for each other, and with our great fans along for the ride, it still feels like we’re going strong.”
Jeff O’Neill could not be reached for comment.
