Prime Time Sports with Bob McCown: Thursday, April 9, 2009 (6:00-7:00)

Host: Bob McCown
Co-Host: Stephen Brunt
Guests: Comcast SportsNet hockey analyst, Al Morganti, and Neil Smith, former NHL GM; Don Logan, president and general manager of the Las Vegas 51s; Doug Armstrong, Team Canada's GM for the world championships

Sometime ago, Morganti and Smith would appear on Prime Time Sports on a weekly basis. Not sure why this has stopped, as the insight they both bring is from different areas and very insightful. Predictions from both on the playoffs…

A quick note on the upcoming x number of days while Bobcat isn't on Prime Time Sports. Bob McCown IS Prime Time Sports. Prime Time Sports IS Bob McCown. Period. No matter who the guest host is, they pale in comparison to what Bob brings to the show. As such, when Bob McCown isn't on Prime Time Sports, the review will not be reporting.

The only guest host that came marginally close in Bob McCown's absence was Elliot Friedman. Too bad due to contractual obligations, he can't host (and even rarely be a guest) on Prime Time Sports.

Why is it that we rarely find out how long Bobcat's gone for when he takes these breaks?

Do you turn off PTS when Bobcat isn't on? Do you get this feeling of being cheated from something that's routine? DO you think McCown should be working 200+ afternoon's a year (I'm sure Bobcat would love that!) Agree? Disagree? Feel free to vent below.

Thursday, February 26 - 6:00-7:00

Host: Bob McCown
Co-Host: Jim Kelley
Guests: President and CEO of Sports and Entertainment L.P., Brian Cooper; NHL player agent, Anton Thun; Greg Logan, Newsday writer

The need for NHL clubs to have access funds is hitting an alarming rate. 50% of NHL teams need access to NHL reserves this year, but yet according to Bettman,life is beautiful:

(to the guys in Toronto with Bobcat, please don't show him the above link or he'll jump from the studio offices!)

$5.69/ticket for seasons tickets in Tampa Bay in the nosebleeds next year? Giddy-up! At least with the crappy economy, we'll see better deals for tickets. We've already seen the deals in Ottawa already. (Mind you, that probably has to do more with the Sens stinking up the arena, than the economic climate!)
