Prime Time Sports with Bob McCown: Wednesday, December 2, 2009 (4:00-7:00)

Executive producer of studio production at Rogers Sportsnet, Nelson Millman, Ed Olczyk, NBC and Versus hockey analyst; owner of the Hamilton Tiger Cats, Bob Young, Darren Rovell, sports business reporter for CNBC; president of Ryerson University, Sheldon Levy.

Wow - Nelson Millman gone. This will be really interesting, specifically how Millman's departure affects Prime Time Sports. His effect on the FAN 590 and building the radio station through the many changes will be felt for years to come. What was the first all sports radio station format has morphed into the hub of Sports, arguably in North America. How's the new guy gonna handle the ego that is McCown?? "The enemy you know vs. the enemy you don't - you can't possibly prepare him for what he's getting into", quipped McCown!

MORE STORIES OF THE HISTORY OF PRIME TIME!!! With Millman on, there was so much stuff that I really love, and I'd imagine most long time listeners do too! As time goes by, Prime Time is as much an intriguing part of sports and sports history and definitely fascinating to hear the inner stories of those who have to deal with McCown on a regular basis, and how McCown became the personality he is.

Round Table coming up at the end of the week. Bobcat, bring back my girl Mary Ormsby!!!

Prime Time Sports with Bob McCown - Thursday, July 16 (5:00-7:00)

Host: Bob McCown
Co-Host: Bruce Arthur
Guests: Paul Beeston, interim CEO of the Toronto Blue Jays; Hamilton Tiger Cats owner, Bob Young; Kevin McCabe of Fox Sports Net; Jeff Blair, Globe and Mail sports columnist; USA Today writer, Michael Hiestand.

LOVED the discussion about Bobcat listening to the Beatles as a 12 year old at Maple Leaf Gardens. Well told memory. Having Bobcat talking about Letterman and the Beatles is a bull's-eye on my love of Music, Sports and Comedy. I also LOVED Arthur's annihilation of Leno. I also hate Leno with a passion and agree that he's brutally over rated. "Letterman's last show will be something you can't miss. Leno's last show was NOTHING!" I now like Arthur that much more! Great first segment.

So Beeston and company haven't talked to Doc about an extension, but have openly talked about being open to offers? How's that first chat with him gonna go?
