The Bob McCown Podcast

Jon Paul Morosi joins the show today so Bob and John can pick his brain on some of the ongoing story lines in baseball.   Before ending the show by dissecting the Toronto Blue Jays and their roster problems the fellas get into some more general baseball talk, digging into some of the teams who have performed well so far this season. We also spend some time looking at the disparity between the level of play within the two leagues - Should Major League Baseball continue to have inter-league games during the season? Or should in-season play stay strictly within the respective leagues?

Just Bob and John today as the two break down some of the most recent news going on in the sporting world.   With the NBA Coaching Carousel in full gear, Bob and John reflect on the Philadelphia 76ers' hiring of former Raptors head coach Nick Nurse and look into some potential candidates to replace Nurse back in Toronto.    With the Conference Finals finished up in both the NBA and NHL, we also do a little preview on both the NBA Finals & The Stanley Cup Final and try to predict the outcome of both events to end the show.

Burnside and Duhatschek reporting for duty on today's roundtable as we take a look at tonight's game between the Vegas Golden Knights and the Dallas Stars, The Florida Panthers & their extended break in between the Conference Final and the Cup Final and The Toronto Maple Leafs' quest to replace Kyle Dubas.

The NHL's newest General Manager, Craig Conroy, joins the show just a week after being promoted to the General Manager position within the Calgary Flames.   We take the opportunity to talk to Craig about the process that went into him getting the job and find out who he has used as inspiration to mold his own managerial style before shifting focus to find out what exactly he will bring to the Calgary Flames after such a disappointing season. Craig schools us on how he would like to operate within the salary cap and as he lets us know what changes he'll be making and who he's bringing into the program to help bring the Flames back to Stanley Cup Contender status.

Lots to talk about with Kevin Weekes today as the three react to the FLorida Panthers' series sweep in the Eastern Conference Final yesterday against the Carolina Hurricanes.   We wonder what has clicked with this Panthers team after entering the playoffs with the lowest amount of points amongst the 15 other teams - We talk about Sergei Bobrovski's resurgence as a top goaltender in the league and the performance of their coach, Paul Maurice.   Before we go, the three switch over to the Western COnference as we look at the possibility of another series sweep from the Las Vegas Golden Knights over the Dallas Stars.

After a 20-1 win over the Rays last night the Toronto Blue Jays' recent struggles are finally over as we bring Rob Longley back onto the show to fill us in on what's been going on with the Jays, who have only won three of their last 10 games.   We talk to Rob about the future of Jays Manager John Schneider and find out why Rob thinks his job is safe as of right now before taking a look at Toronto's roster. With the feeling of there being something missing still lingering - Bob, John and Rob speculate about who on the roster should get traded or sent to the minors.   Before we go, we spend some time on the Jays' pitching staff as we try to figure out what's been causing the poor play from Alek Manoah.   Get 4 Extra months and a 30-day money back guarentee when you buy NordVPN by heading to NORDVPN.com/BOBCAST

Richard Zokol and Ian Leggatt stop by the podcast in a rare post tournament breakdown as we reflect on all of the major headlines to come out of last weekend's PGA Championship.   With the winner of the Championship being a LIV Tour Member in Brooks Koepka, we get into the politics of the LIV vs. PGA saga that has dominated story lines and try to anticipate what will come next regarding the cohabitation of the two before shifting focus to the play of Canadian Corey Conners and the heartwarming story of Club Pro, Michael Block.   Get 4 Extra months and a 30-day money back guarentee when you buy NordVPN by heading to NORDVPN.com/BOBCAST

With the hangover of a quadruple overtime playoff game still lingering, Bob and John welcome Greg Millen Back to the show to end the week off with some hockey talk on the podcast.   The three break down the Panthers win last night over the hurricanes and wonder if it's time to start implementing 3 on 3 overtime periods in the Playoffs like they do in the regular season.   We then move on to the hottest team in the NHL for all the wrong reasons: The Arizona Coyotes.   We talk to Greg about the NHL's persistence on keeping the Coyotes in Arizona and throw around potential landing sites for the new team before getting some insight on just what the instability of this franchise does to its players. Before we go, we fit in some more general puck talk to end off this week in sports news. Get 4 Extra months and a 30-day money back guarentee when you buy NordVPN by heading to NORDVPN.com/BOBCAST
