Prime Time Sports with Bob McCown - Friday, July 17 (5:00-7:00)

Host: Bob McCown
Co-Host: Bruce Arthur
Guests: Roundtable with Bob McCown, Bruce Arthur, Mary Ormsby, and Gord Kirke.

Bob, when will you learn that Ormsby's bite is worse than her bark! You could hear McCown recant when he said that the reason the leading candidate for the Jays GM role didn't come to Toronto as the wife didn't want to be here. "Always blame it on the wife, eh? That damn Janet
Gretzky!!" quipped Mary. My long-time crush on Mary Ormsby continues!

All-Star games do NOT get "ignored" by Prime Time. It's the same discussion every time..."how can it be improved?"..."wasn't it great the way it was?" Bobcat also "ignores" soccer. The difference? Soccer is never talked about, but all-star games (nhl, nba, nfl, mlb) are discussed every couple of months. If it isn't relevant, and you hate it as we all do, then kill the discussion!!

Bobcat can raise 100 million to help fund an NCAA team coming to southern Ontario? What's wrong with this picture - Bobcat gets excited by the potential of bringing the NCAA to Ontario but things the NFL is a pipedream?

Prime Time Sports with Bob McCown - Monday, July 13 (5:00-7:00)

Host: Bob McCown
Co-Host: Bruce Arthur
Guests: Bob Elliott, Toronto Sun baseball columnist; boxing writer and historian, Bert Sugar; roundtable with Bob McCown, Bruce Arthur, and Michael Grange.

I'm back! Mommy and babies are doing well. RIP Michael Jackson.

I am liking Bruce Arthur. Second time I've heard him, but really impressed with his facts and putting Bob in his place a couple of times. He doesn't seemed intimidated by the Bobcat like the others in the co-host chair have been (including at times, Brunt.)

How do the Jays hang their all-star, moneyball pitcher, Doc Halladay out to dry at the all-star game? Someone who has meant this much to the team and the city. It's a shame that more people aren't going to watch games, especially when he's pitching. There isn't a 'bump' in
attendance when he's pitching, so maybe the fan reaction to him leaving will wake Rogers up. Maybe not this year, but in years to come.

Sugar was so poetic (yet again), in discussing the death of Gatti. Love to hear Brunt's take on Gatti's passing.

Part of the Round table discussion about all-star games and their worth...ho hum...same discussion 3x a year, and it's getting old (the game AND the discussion).
