Are the NBA being draconian by limiting player pregame rituals to just 90 seconds? Is the Serbian government being serious about punishing those that tainted the end of Tuesdays Under-21 match against England?

Here is what Scott MacArthur said on 1050 about the NHL lockout:
“These two sides are literally on different planets”
Does anyone know what the word “literally” means anymore ????
Bob Ryan needs a new phone, this is not the first week the connection’s been bad.
RIP Toronto Sports Media….How about a blog post once and a while, wow…..
Thanks for the note Ben. Sorry I’ve let you down
Loved bob going thru tim and sids wallets (metaphorically withmthe latter). Seemed very old school Stern.
McCown’s interviews
with Smith and Ryan were just brutal. After 35 years in the business, he still
doesn’t know you have to indentify the person you’re speaking to – its radio for
chrissakes!
And yet he and some
posters here claim he’s a great interviewer.
you raise a really good question: what makes for a great sports interview on the radio?
there are a range of styles on TSN and SN right now. maybe this could be a weekend blog, as well as a poll question.
Agreed…………..he is an interesting guy to have on every week but if they can’t make sure he is on a decent phone line I’m not sure it is worth having him as a guest
He’s right. You use to be my go to place for blogs and info, now…..it’s a shell of its former glory
Agreed. That was hilarious.
Believe these problems to be related to the Skype line they’re trying out. The question should be, are the cost savings worth the blips in service.
He’s barely intelligible at the best of times.
I hear him weekly on The Tony Kornheiser Show, and every week it sounds like he has pulled over inside a tunnel and is getting one bar of signal.
I’ve noticed that when he talks with his friends (or people he is friendly with), he sometimes neglects to mention who they are, and very rarely will bring it up again during their conversation.
