Prime Time Sports with Bob McCown - Thursday, September 3 (5:00-7:00)

Host: Bob McCown
Guests: Phil Esposito, NHL Hall of Famer; USA Today's media columnist, Michael Hiestand; interim executive director of the NHLPA, Ian Penny; ESPN baseball play-by-play announcer, Dan Shulman; Kevin McGran of the Toronto Star

Bobcat simply put, you should have hung-up on Penny's ass. It was an absolutely hideous interview with me as a listener getting nothing except for frustration from his lack of answers...

As a fan of hockey, the NHLPA firing matters. When Kelly first came onto the scene (oh, those many days ago), his candor was something that I came to worry about. He was a top prosecutor and his comments worried me about future labour strife. Through the months, his willingness to discuss tough issues and common-sense approach was one I came to really respect (especially when interviews were done on Prime Time Sports.)

Kelly's departure leaves a lot of unanswered questions, and Prime Time Sports is normally where questions are answered. This week has been disappointing for me as a listener when ultimately we are talking about the 2nd most powerful man in hockey.

The future of the NHL has never looked as bad as does now (and that's saying a ton!)
