Prime Time Sports with Bob McCown: Monday, December 14, 2009 (5:00-7:00)

Host: Bob McCown
Co-Host: Stephen Brunt
Guests: Toronto Sun baseball columnist, Bob Elliott; Bob Nicholson, Toronto Argonauts president and CEO, The Golf Channel's Iain Page; Playoff PAC founder, Matthew Sanderson; Canadian curling representative at the Olympics, Kevin Martin.

On the eve of Doc being traded to the Phillies, Bobcat was in an irate mood. "The Jays are in danger of killing the business. The business and economic rationale I understand. I have never espoused the concept of keeping a player at the risk of losing him and getting nothing. Halladay is different. This is the time you had to take that risk."

I care that I don't care about the Jays anymore. …and by "don't care", I mean that I don't have an emotional connection with this team the way I used to. My only connection with this team is with guys named Barfield, Moseby, Bell, Carter, Winfield and Alomar. This team has taken me as a fan for granted for the years of support I game from '82 onwards. Attention started to waiver for me in 1998, and it's been downhill ever since.

McCown continued, "If you don't spend $120 million, get out of Major League Baseball cause you can't compete. If you think you can make money by spending 80 million, just wait. Just wait till this year, and let's see how much money you make by leaving $40 million on the table. This city has had enough building, rebuilding, promises, 3-year plans, 5-year plans - those days are over. To walk into another one is suicide. I think they are making a terrible mistake."

Matthew Sanderson sounded like an infant when being questioned by McCown and Brunt. Yep, the BCS is a mess, but c'mon dude…taking it to Congress???

Prime Time Sports with Bob McCown - Thursday, July 22 (5:00-7:00)

Bobcat - you are GIVING books away??? To whom?!? How'z 'bout you signing my book that was bought on the first day it was released (the FIRST edition!)

It must be hard for Bobcat to show restraint on Daly. After all, he has called the guy a liar before regarding the Coyotes mess (and truthfully, he is!) Having said that, today the two were cordial, and even 'playful' with each other. It amazes me that all the guys in the sports business, or most, have pretty thick skin.

Thanks Bob for not taking a run at the Sens when discussing the issue of the exercise bikes! It was a softball that you could have killed us on, and you laid off. Thanks for becoming an honorary Sens fan!!

So, what are the odds that Bobcat will be away on Monday....ohh, how I hate Mondays!!!

Been waiting for some semblance of discussion on the Heatley situation on Prime Time Sports
but for whatever reason, there hasn't been any. I'm sure there will be once he gets dealt. In the meantime, I'm being bored to tears with the golf discussion.

Did Obama short-hop his pitch to the mound in the all-star game? You decide!
...and Obama is a "lefty"...who would have guessed?

Wouldn't Carleton look good in the NCAA Final Four Tournament?
