The Knicks Jeremy Lin (and a giant throng of media) are in town tonight to play the Raptors. Isn’t the Linsanity a little early, five games into his Knicks career?

Wonder what the Beeston interview is about. Natural Grass maybe?
Natural Grass is supposed to be amongst the topics discussed…
This is Beeston’s first appearance on PTS in quite some time (although I believe he was on Blair’s show a few weeks ago)……………in addition to the natural grass topic, hopefully McCown & Brunt will also ask him about the Yu Darvish auction……………and the dubious “payroll parameters” remark at the winter meetings………………and the recent “we will make the playoffs 2 or 3 times in the next 5 years” comment to season ticketholders
gotta laugh at/admire TSN’s approach: Duthie, McKenzie, Siegel, Dreger … all within the space of 2 hours. The FAN does this as well, but not nearly to the same extent. A question to the hockey pucks here: do you like hearing from the in-house experts every day?
MIB – I try to listen to Ferraro and Hayes each day as their talks are usually enjoyable and Ferraro has a good sense of humour. Dreger takes himself WAY too serious. McKenzie same thing – I’d give him more of a chance but his segments are way too short… short segments are good because you don’t want over exposure but I’d rather he go a bit longer mon wed fri say.
Beating a dead horse, but why did tsn stop full podcasts? Back to segments only.
It’s bad enough I have to see these “insiders” on tv, why would you want to hear the (probable) same thing on the radio?
