5 million viewers for the Grey Cup?? Not surprised. But the furor over the game not being televised on CBC and TSN instead seems to have passed from discussion.

Tiger Woods isn't going to lose a dollar from this on-going drama involving his wife and golf clubs. Unless it turns into a criminal matter.

Some cool inisghts from Bob in the 5-6 hour talking about how he never wanted to be part of radio, and got into it by accident as a supplementary income to his golfing job. …and Bobcat used to own an art gallery too? Who knew! (I eat this history stuff up!) Too bad Bobcat couldn't get his pen in order for me to make some Prime Time Sports xmas shopping! Hopefully next year.

Fantastic musical Mariachi piece at the onset. Not sure about the product placement guys with Salsa and Tacos all over the studio…but heck, I forward through all the commercials normally, and now am stuck watching Old El Paso right on my TV in the smelly Prime Time Sports studios!! Ah well, Bobcat's got mouths to feed!

Kelley was at Woodstock in '69? Who knew??? Although, I can definitely see him in a Grateful Dead T-shirt.

Man 'O man - either Holland was tired of the questions he was getting, or really thinks about each questions for a good 5 seconds before he answers. Either way Kenny, hurry up with the answers and quit the heavy breathing will ya?!?! McCown pulled a Donahue in his interview skills when he followed up the question of the Jiri hit during the playoffs. Listen for it.

Prime Time Sports broke the news of Balsillie bid to purchase the Coyotes. No one had this before McCown - it's too bad all the media outlets didn't source him (including parent company Sportsnet!)
