I can’t wait for Bobcat to get back, Blair makes me want to change the channel (or move to the next podcast) real quick
Blair and Cox,i like what i have heard from them.Chemistry is there,hearing them tell stories while on the beat have been fun to listen to.
When Blair opened the 6:00 hour forecasting a lot of hockey ahead I was stunned and hit the power button on my radio. Quite simply hockey in a July heat wave is just lazy radio.- you can do better Fan, Blair and Cox but it takes effort.
Which radio-station has the hair-gel guy at the top of the screen? I want to be sure to avoid that one. 🙂
i think Blair and Cox have actually had a pretty good chemistry and their shows have been far superior to TSN and definitely Bill Watters (hehe) this week.. I also agree hockey in the summer is a little bit tedious, but there was plently of interesting stuff going on today in the hockey world, so it deserved coverage. Good show in my opinion
is there a reason Wilner is on so often when Bob is away, and so infrequently when Bob is hosting?
I get the feeling that maybe Bob isn’t a huge fan of Wilner (regarding his baseball opinions anyway) and Blair is.
The Summer of Rog is becoming The Summer of Blair! Make it stop!!!!!
My “Bring Back Peter Loubardias” campaign isn’t going very well. SKIIYORESS.

I’m sure he’ll be back soon enough.

I listened to a few clips and I agree. They work well together. Must be the print in them.

Like it or not, they feed the beast. Toronto audience want hockey, hockey and more hockey.

too funny!

It’s a good pairing when McCown is away.
mike in boston said “is there a reason Wilner is on so often when Bob is away, and so infrequently when Bob is hosting?”
Coincidence? I think not.
Daniel said “I get the feeling that maybe Bob isn’t a huge fan of Wilner (regarding his baseball opinions anyway) and Blair is.”
The evidence seems to agree with that, whether there is an issue or not I don’t know.
Tom said “The Summer of Rog is becoming The Summer of Blair! Make it stop!!!!!”
You can’t really be comparing the two can you? Curious how the Rog is on the air while still doing his new gig.

huh?
Bobcat could not stomach the last bluejay GM.Wilner stood his ground and basically sided with Riccardi.Bad move in the Bobcat world,Wilner was banned…
Sam,
And yet, Bob absolutely loves the current GM, Anthopoulos.
Not sure why considering they’re not doing as well as they were when JP was running the show.
Wilner was already in the doghouse for defending JP and Cito repeatedly, guys that Bob thought had long since failed the organizatiuon.
Wilner is dead to me for his bullshit comment that sports fans judge the Jays too hard becasue we always compare their failures to the Leafs and how “they are building and doing it the right way”…such utter and complete bullshit…18 years out of the playoffs is 18 years out of the playoffs, either in hockey, baseball, soccor or football.
Mike in Boston is right…………..I don’t remember Wilner ever appearing on PTS when McCown is there……….and in the last several years he almost never had Berger on his show either, which is a bit strange since Berger used to be the producer of that show…………I get the feeling McCown doesn’t have much time for the guys on 590 who cover the home teams, although he does have Smith & Jones on his show from time to time to talk basketball
Bob does whatever the hell he wants to at 590.
He’s an institution – I’m not a fan anymore of him but the Rogers bosses know they’ve got to give him complete control of the show. How else do you explain when he goes on for 10 minutes about having to buy another piece of jewelry for his wife – no other host would or could do that? That’s when I jump over to TSN radio.
When it comes to local sports guys, he only has HIS friends on and obviously Berger and Wilmer are friends of Bob (FOB).
For news rumours and everything else in the sports world i go straight to TSM.All other outlets are way behind or to scared of the fall-out if they take on the GMs in this city.If you are not an FOB you are SOL.

Banned never really means banned though to Bob does it?
Mike in Burlington said “Wilner was already in the doghouse for defending JP and Cito repeatedly, guys that Bob thought had long since failed the organizatiuon.

Wilner certainly has pissed off many sports fans in Toronto by his attitude.

Odd given that baseball and the Blue Jays are the one topic that McCown seems to really enjoy. I get the sense that baseball is “his game”

No question, he does what he wants.

TSN or TSM? 🙂
I have pumped the tires of TSN maybe just a tad,ok a lot lately but TSM is the first read of the day.Keep up the good work!
