Prime Time Sports with Bob McCown: Monday, May 11, 2009 (6:00-7:00)

Host: Bob McCown
Roundtable with Stephen Brunt, Doug Smith

Are we going to be talking' about Balsillie all summer?

To have heard McCown through all these years and be passionate about it enough to start a blog, one could deduct that I have a passion for the periphery of the sports landscape including the business of sports. That would be correct. The story regarding Balsillie's bid to buy the Coyotes is gripping to say the least with tons of implications not only for the NHL, but the entire professional sports industry.

Unfortunately, the timing couldn't be any worse. Ovechkin and Crosby are on the even of a game #7 in a gripping series. The Hurricanes and their insane fans are close toppling the mighty Bruins. The Canucks just choked against the up-start Blackhawks and Wings-Ducks look prime to go 7 games. The playoffs have never been this gripping before.

All of this, and what is the media in the US reporting? "The dogfight in the desert for the Phoenix Coyotes promises to be the most interesting contest in hockey this month." Unfortunately, this is both sad and true.

(Here's a post I made on Fadoo on the topic.)
