Co-Host: Stephen Brunt
Guests: President of Hockey Canada, Bob Nicholson; basketball columnist for the Toronto Star, Doug Smith, Rogers Sportsnet hockey analyst, Nick Kypreos; Aaron Fox, lawyer representing Eric Tillman, Co-author of "The Ultimate Book of Sports Movies", Glen Macnow; USA Today's Michael Hiestand; Justin Bracci from Tatics Armoured Hockey Socks.
No real compelling guests nor topics, with the exception of Eric Tillman's lawyer (with apologies to 3D TV and sports movies!)
What really interests me is McCown's revelation that long time Prime Time Sports guest Eric Tillman will be on PTS later in the week. I'm quite curious to see how McCown will juggle the on-air discussion with Tillman. Of course what Tillman did (accident or otherwise) is reprehensible. Will McCown get into the sordid details of the event? Does McCown discuss legal strategy and why Tillman was so adamant of his innocence only to plead guilty? What about how he navigated the Roughriders to a CFL final behind the scenes last season. You can be sure there will be discussion about his future in the CFL, and if Tillman is fired from the Roughriders before he comes on PTS, the job in Toronto. To what extent Tillman will be willing to discuss any of these matters is another matter all together.
I don't remember McCown ever having a guest like this come on PTS who has a history with the show in this set of extraordinary circumstances.
An explosive beginning to the year for sure. I am really interested in hearing how McCown handles this one.
