Prime Time Sports with Bob McCown: Wednesday, September 16, 2009 (5:00-7:00)

Host: Bob McCown
Co-Host: Stephen Brunt
Guests: Glendale, Arizona council member, Phil Lieberman; Bob Elliott, baseball writer for the Toronto Sun; Don Banks from Sports Illustrated; ESPN's Mark Fainaru-Wada; NFL player agent, Leigh Steinberg.

First segment McCown and Brunt talked about books, and writing. Whatever happened to the two books McCown was to produce next year?? Know what's going on? Drop us a line in the comment section. A book of fiction selling well Bobcat? How about a book about the leafs winning the cup thousands of years in the future (if we're talking about true fiction?)

Hearing from Arizona Council Member Phil Lieberman was a hit of reality on the Phoenix issue. Who will assist the small businesses that will suffer with the Coyotes departure? Certainly not the NHL nor the Balsillie camp, both of whom are out for themselves. Balsillie only cares about getting a team in the southern Ontario market. Bettman only cares about getting those lucrative expansion/re-location fees on his terms.

Line of the day when Bob Elliot was introduced..."Bob's not hear, it's Doug MacLean!!" ...and Bob Elliot agreed with McCown too saying McCown "was right". Interesting. Guests that skirt around the MacLean issue never get a full diatribe on the subject as McCown has remained steady that he won't discuss it anymore but if others want to discuss it, he'll listen.

Wednesday, March 4 - 6:00-7:00

Host: Bob McCown
Co-Host: Jim Kelley
Guests: Leigh Steinberg, NFL player agent; SportsBusiness Journal's Daniel Kaplan; Glenn Howard, Canadian curler
Daniel Kaplan and Leigh Steinberg spoke about the NFLPA and where things are headed with the search for the new union boss as well as the economics of the NFL. Normally, I'm a sports business fan, but didn't really enjoy both interviews…you do get the sense Bob is doing the sniffing around the NFL issues to take direct aim at the NHL.

The shot of all shots happened earlier this week (and I'm not even *close* to being a curling fan.) Below is the shot that legendary curler Glenn Howard hit. Just remarkable!


Bob asked, "Was there performing enhancing drugs involved with that shot", and Glen responded, "Just beer!". Bob's best quote from earlier in the day,

"The fact that Burke isn't pissed at the new fighting rules tells you everything you need to know about it's effectiveness"

…and a Happy Birthday to Neil Smith's Mom! (Ahhh, good 'ol Bobcat, a softie at heart!)
