Guests: Jerry Reisman, bankruptcy lawyer for Reisman Peirez & Reisman; James Toback, director of the film documentary "Tyson".
When I created this blog, I thought it would be good to have an outlet to share my thoughts about the program with other listeners. Today's show was one of the more memorable ones that I'm glad I have the outlet of Prime Time Sports Review for. McCown went on a micro level with Reisman, assessing the intricacies of Balsillie's assault on the NHL. Then instantly, it changed to a discussion with Toback, director of the "Tyson" film, and as intriguing, (past?) long time sports gambler. I hope all of you get a chance to listen.
If any of you have any interest in the bankruptcy proceedings and can stomach legality details, listen to the first 1/2 hour of today's show where McCown and Kelley talked to a bankruptcy lawyer. I don't even know where to start, or how to summarize what I just heard. All I'll say is, it seems Balsillie has leg to stand on. VERY interesting stuff indeed. (I think I need to listen to it again to re-hear what I heard, if that makes any sense!)
Too bad that Brunt couldn't be here the week they were interviewing Toback. Boxing being his passion, I'm sure he'd be really interested in the subject. Although Bobcat seemed to revel in the discussion with Toback/Vegas/Gambling discussion.
While Bobcat doesn't share the details, you get the sense through past discussions about the gambling subject that he himself had a past addiction to gambling. While he hasn't confirmed this (that I am aware of), the types of questions he asked in this interview can only be from someone that has this sort of history, or at least, intimate connection with the subject.
In previous posts, I have written how it seems as McCown is getting tired of the show, and the "same-old-same-old" discussion. Today's show was refreshing as a listener, and I'm sure for him as an interviewer. It's the kind of show that would probably convince Bobcat to stay as host for a couple of years (if he could guarantee a show like this on a regular basis!)
"Wow that was fun", McCown quipped at the end of the show. Bobcat, agree with you 100%. Great show.
