Prime Time Sports with Bob McCown: Monday, November 9, 2009 (5:00-7:00)

Host: Bob McCown
Co-Host: Stephen Brunt
Guests: Dave Andrews, Richard Griffin, Ed Olczyk, Don Banks, and Da'Shawn Thomas.

It's a cross between writer's block and a lack of any content worthwhile of reporting on today's show. While I was on the bench, I did listen to all the shows and was hoping to catch-up on what I missed but there was very little that I was inspired by.

Da'Shawn Thomas was an interesting story who started in the CFL, now at Western and invited to the NFL columbines. Interesting, but not compelling. Even Banks commented to McCown/Brunt wake him up if he makes it past the columbines.

Agassi will be on Prime Time Sports on Wednesday. Two interesting things about this. Firstly, Sportsnet continues to promote the interesting Mike Danton story, but no mention of the Agassi interview anywhere. Secondly, on Jim Rome earlier in the week he trumpeted Agassi's character as being impeccable as this would be the only reason he would "lay it bare" for a biography. What Rome was missing was the hypothesis by McCown late last week - that Agassi revealed his story about drug use, etc due to the story about to come out anyways. It will be interesting if McCown confronts Agassi on this point specifically, and while the show isn't being advertised by Sportsnet should prove to be one on the more interesting interviews of the year.

Prime Time Sports with Bob McCown - Friday, July 24 (5:00-7:00)

Host: Bob McCown
Guests: Roundtable with Bob McCown, John Shannon, Rob Faulds, and Gord Kirke

A tale of two Bobs today.

The good - calling out Rogers Management for not taking a leadership position in the current predicament of the Jays. It's really ballsy (not to be confused with Balsillie) to call out your management (even if they are really higher-up, literally) on air. Bob has got nowhere to hide and has never held back firing at Rogers.

The ugly - Bobcat letting Erin Andrews she had nothing to worry about regarding the leaked photos of her, suggesting her body wasn't anything to be ashamed about. I was trying to think why Bob would have such a position, and if it was his daughter that was in a similar predicament, if he would give her the same advice.
