While Bobcat is on vacation, check this post from Fadoo out...
Absolutely fascinating stuff here. Cito and McCown meeting to discuss charges of racism years back?? WOW! McCown writes, "In 1997 Cito Gaston called me a racist..."

Prime Time Sports with Bob McCown: Monday, May 4, 2009 (6:00-7:00)
Host: Bob McCown
Roundtable: Roundtable with Jim Kelley, and James Deacon
May the fourth be with you.
McCown started the first segment with the following: "I'd fix the (national hockey) league in a week and the first thing I'd do is say 'the hell with America. I don't give a flyin' Fadoo about how the playoffs affect America." With the talk of Balsillie taking ownership of the Coyotes and moving them to southern Ontario heating up, the whole discussion of hockey in Canada vs hockey in the USA is JUST beginning. …I get the sense it won't be a long argument.
McCown argued that the 92 Jays batting line-up may be the best of all time. I love how Bob McCown throws stuff out there that is completely moronic and then begins to persuade you to his side of the argument.
I would love to see McGuire and McCown engage with each other for just one segment - heck, it doesn't even have to be about hockey. Both of them are really knowledgeable, passionate, stubborn and persuasive (all good things in my books.) Hopefully the unholy alliance of Bell-Rogers will facilitate this (right Brunt?)
"Sidney, get an apartment." God bless Bob McCown.

Prime Time Sports with Bob McCown: Friday April 24, 2009 (5:00-7:00)
Host: Bob McCown
Roundtable: Stephen Brunt, James Deacon, Gord Kirke
The name of the book mentioned in the first segment is called "Old City Hall", not "City Hall" (no sponsored links either.)
McCown is working on two books that intrigue the heck out of me:
- one for the fall 2009 (McCown hasn't started yet) - a book regarding the last 20 years of Prime Time Sports. REALLY interested in this, but as the big guy hasn't started anything and the roundtable didn't know anything about it.
- one for the fall 2010 (McCown to write with David Naylor)
I'm a big time fan of McCown's previous book, The 100 Greatest Hockey Arguments. I'm pretty sure that Brunt had some sort of encouragement for Bobcat to do the book in the first place. I also think that McCown was a bit surprised by the reaction of the book. What I wasn't a big fan of was the re-release of the book and the ability to get an autographed copy for the SECOND version of the book. I bought the first version of the book as a die hard Prime Time Sports fan, and would have gladly forked over the cash if an autographed copy was available the first time around. When the second version came out, it seemed like a cheap cash grab to me. Ah well, 'tis the world of publishing and Bob's "got mouths to feed". This definitely won't take away from my thirst for McCown related media including literature.
A week or so ago, a cryptic comment was made here by 'someone' perhaps posing to be Bobcat. I held onto a bit of hope that perhaps it was McCown, but McCown said on the show today, "there's no danger of me reading someone else's blogs on the internet. Unless they are on my site, in which case I read all of them, and they are excellent." *sigh* Ah well, Bobcat will hopefully find this site one day.
Kate Jett - va-va-voom Bobcat?
When it comes to Bettman, both Brunt and McCown have been on the same page. Brunt seemed to divert from this when he disagreed with McCown on bringing another NHL team to Toronto, especially with regards to Bettman's handling of the Balsillie situation. Brunt surprised me (and I'm sure McCown) by taking Bettman's side - "(Bob) I think you make it way to personal. You make it sound like he's (Bettman's) omnipotent, like he's this dictator running the league. He's not. I think he's trying to save the owners butts, legally. I don't think he's sitting there casting lightning bolts at people (like Balsillie)." McCown retorted, "I'm quite comfortable that it was personal (at Balsillie)." There is no question that McCown has inside information from the Ballsille camp, if not the Balsillie himself.

Prime Time Sports with Bob McCown: Monday, April 20, 2009 (6:00-7:00)
Host: Bob McCown (welcome back!)
Co-Host: Stephen Brunt
Guests: Doug Smith
Welcome back Bobcat…and with Brunt no less! LOVE IT!
As great as Prime Time Sports is, at the heart of it, the show is really about the "perimeter" of sports - money issues, business, legal, management etc. If you really think about it, the game is discussed very little. The great thing about the NHL playoffs is we actually talk about the game itself. The first segment was completely on this subject, and it was great (but fast) radio.
Canadiens continue to be scary bad, even in the post season. They really look identical to the Sens demise of 07-08. None of it makes sense. …and following this, it looks like the Habs will continue to do what the Sens did after last season's collapse - NOTHING. It looks as if the Habs will think that this year was a 'blip' and leave everything status quo. Gainey = Murray?
In the second segment, my ears were bleeding after hearing the high-pitched Smith defending the Raptors holding onto Bosh this year. Hey Smith, is Martin in Florida a genius for holding onto Bouwmeester?
I was waiting for McCown to give his BURKE-SPIRACY theory on Fadoo. Surprisingly he didn’t. I wonder why? This smells of Fadoo-ghost writing, dare I suggest!

Fadoo - McCown's Burke-spiracy Theory
Now tell me that Bob McCown's theory regarding Burke's "love" for Tavares doesn't make perfectly logical sense (from Fadoo.ca:)
Leafs really targeting Hedman? C'mon - this is straight up Burke GENIUS (and I HATE the leafs!)
ps. welcome back Bobcat - last week was way too long...
