Prime Time Sports with Bob McCown: Friday, December 4, 2009 (4:00-7:00)

Host: Bob McCown
Roundtable with Bob McCown, Stephen Brunt, James Deacon, and Michael Grange.

Yes! More Leaf discussion!! ...and the rest of the country on "the nations most listened to Sports Talk presentation" rejoyce!! Ah well, they are "Canada's Team" after all, so we all should be thankful! Covering a team that the roundtable asked to "at least try hard", tells you all you need to know. (Hey, does sarcasm translate well on a blog??)

I'm an ardent Bills fan from Ottawa and would much rather spend the cash to head to Buffalo than Toronto. I'm paying for the experience, and something about being outdoors, tailgating, in a different environment is appealing to me compared to being in Skydome. Given the results of the past couple of Bills games, Toronto fans feel the same way.

Grange brought up an interesting point. How could Rogers let this asset devalue so much, especially with the rise of the Candian dollar. Here is the history of the Dollar for some key years for Jays fans:
October 1992 - 1.2453 CAD
October 1993 - 1.32629 CAD
October 2009 - 1.05427 CAD

20% more funds coming into Rogers this year compared to the budged Interbrew had in 1992...I wonder where it's all going?? Must be to that great customer service we all get, eh?

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.

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.

A touching intro by Kirke who just returned from Kandahar with NHL stars, and Canadian celebrities. Another earth shattering revelation this week - Bob McCown and Alan Frew from Glass Tiger are 'buds'…another who knew moment!

The boys discussed the World Baseball Championship in the first segment. If I'm Rogers, I spend the extra dough to get a more competitive team asap. At least spend money to bringing in someone brighter than non-productive, pencil necked tool that is JP.

Interesting discussion on Goaltending. McCown pondered, "Stanley cups are certainly a function of the team you have in front of you." Man, the Sens wished that were true Bobcat!!
