Bob McCown provides his own unique take on the sports stories of the day.
Bob and Steve Simmons end the week of podcasting with a potpourri of sports topics to bring us into the weekend. The two break down what they have seen from MLB’s Wildcard games and prepare for round two of the playoffs before breaking down Kirk Cousin’s dominant Thursday Night Football showing and ending the show with a discussion on Nick RObertson’s equally dominant pre-season for the Maple Leafs.
A bunch of things ready to be discussed in the sports world as Bob and Steve go from hockey, to baseball and end the show with a bit of basketball. The two break down everything that is known so far about Boston’s contract dispute with star goaltender Jeremy Swaymen, preview the MLB Playoffs and analyze the Toronto Rapotrs’ defensive situation on the penultimate episode of the week.
Quite the day for Blue Jays fans as Mark Shapiro and Ross Atkins had end-of-the-season press conferences - while what was said, or not said, was frustrating - Bob and Steve attempt to find some good out of today’s exit interviews and look into the future for this struggling baseball team.
Pete Rose, the all-time hits leader in Major League Baseball, has died at the age of 83 - Bob and Steve Simmons spend the first portion of today’s show remembering his legendary career and the controversy that came with it. With gambling becoming a staple in the sports world, Bob and Steve question MLB’s stance on keeping Rose out of the Hall Of Fame and wonder if and should that change before discussing the two NFL games that took place last night.
Fresh off the Raptors' media day in Toronto, Steve Simmons joins Bob to kick off the week with a preview of Canada’s only NBA team as they set their expectations for the 2024-25 regular season. Bob and Steve also react to the Buffalo Bills' big loss to the Ravens and touch on some of the key storylines coming out of Major League Baseball as we approach the postseason.
One of the only positives of the Toronto Blue Jays’ season is that they have given us lots to talk about. Expanding on previous conversations from the week, Bob and Steve theorize on off-season plans and roster moves before touching on the Presidents Cup in Montreal & ending the week of shows with an evaluation of the Toronto Maple Leafs’ pre-season output.
Does anyone care about the Presidents Cup? Bob and Steve start day 4 of Steve’s tenure as co-host by breaking down the field in Montreal, asking themselves… why do people make a big deal about this tournament?Â
With golf out of the way and the Indiana Fever’s season coming to a close the two dig into  Caitlin Clark's impact on the league and wonder how the WNBA can keep this momentum going before re-capping week 4 of the NFL’s Regular season.
It’s hump day on the podcast with Bob and Steve this week and it like this recent MLSE deal is the gift that keeps on giving - Now that Rogers media has full control of the entity some are speculating that owning an NFL team could be the next venture for the media company. Bob and Steve bounce ideas and options around when it comes to where, when and even if that could happen before addressing some things the two aren’t too fond of regarding the Blue Jays and the way they seem to dismiss their failure.Â
With the NHL Season right around the corner, Steve and Bob deeply dive into the Toronto Maple Leafs on today’s episode.Â
From the moves they have made to the ones they didn’t…the two make predictions on how this year will play out for a team desperate for some playoff success.
It’s Simmons week as Steve joins Bob to co-host the next handful of shows. The two continue discussing one of last week’s biggest Toronto sports stories: Bell’s nearly five billion dollar exit from MLSE. Steve shares his opinion on the matter before they shift focus to the Blue Jays.
After the break, they dive into basketball, reacting to the recent news of Vince Carter’s jersey retirement in Toronto, sparking a conversation about other players who might deserve the honour before Vince.
There are many things to talk about before Bob and Richard take off for the weekend – the most significant? Shohei Ohtani’s 50 home run and 50 steal regular season. The two wonder if greatness like this has ever been seen before as they shift the conversation to TSN’s omission of Alex Ovechkin from their top 50 NHL players evaluation. They end the show with discussions on Canada’s soccer program and the Ryder Cup.
