1/14/10 - @totalpts, CHFI, TSN, Kelley, Fay Vincent, Marvin Miller

Host: Bob McCown
Co-Host: John Shannon
Guests: Phil King, president of TSN; Sportsnet.ca's Jim Kelley, Dan Shulman, ESPN broadcaster; NHL executive Colin Campbell, NFL writer for Sports Illustrated, Don Banks; former commissioner of Major League Baseball, Fay Vincent; Clint Hamilton, CIS president.

"What's with the weird music around here? We've turned into CHFI!"...and so it began. Poor @totalpts getting slagged but thanks for playing some Oasis for me (note how Bobcat didn't get peeved over that one, eh??) More on our bud @totalpts coming soon!

Interesting to have the president of TSN appear on PTS. Has the president of Sportsnet ever appeared on PTS? Does Doug Beeforth ring a bell?? Not to me, so I'd be willing to bet he hasn't been on.

These segments with Kelley in fine form are also becoming classic! Is it me, or is Kelley much better as a guest than a co-host. I'm not sure why, but he is!

I am a big time Fay Vincent fan. He has a "Bert Sugar"-type adoration by Bobcat, and in turn the listeners. More gripping radio as a listener. McCown asked Vincent about Mavin Miller being in the Baseball Hall of Fame. Vincent called it an "outrageous scandal". Not being given the context ahead of time and having no clue on who Marvin Miller is, I decided to google him, and it's a fascinating story. He's alive at 92, and in an era where there is only Andrew Dawson going into the BHOF, he really should be put in to acknowledge the work he's done for Baseball.

Prime Time Sports with Bob McCown: Tuesday, November 17, 2009 (5:00-7:00)

Host: Bob McCown
Co-Host: John Shannon
Guests: Hockey commentator for Rogers Sportsnet, Nick Kypreos; Buffalo Bills sideline reporter for Rock 97, Rich Gaenzler; Fay Vincent, former MLB commissioner; lawyer representing 14 female ski jumpers, Ross Clark; David Shoalts, Globe and Mail columnist.

Another stellar day on Prime Time Sports. Kypreos was in studio talking about the drug culture in the NHL. Fay Vincent was an epic interview with lots of topics covered including, umpiring in baseball, McGuire coming back to the Cardinals and why there will never be a salary cap in baseball.

The Olympic / Female-Ski Jumper controversy will become a big deal in the games. Without question. Canadians won't stand for rights that are violated and Female Ski Jumpers rights are being violated. This will go to the Supreme Court. The key question is whether the IOC will fight this battle on the land in which the games will be held in front of the entire world.
