The Bob McCown Podcast Fadoo Productions

Do consumers have too many options when it comes to watching sports? That's the question Bob, John, and Richard Deitsch ask on today's show as the discussion begins with the Stanley Cup Final and the NHL’s attempt to grow more fans in the United States.
Building off their initial conversation, the focus turns to Copa America and soccer’s attempt to grow in popularity in North America. From there, the three transition into talks about the Toronto Blue Jays and the team’s glaring need for change from the front office down to their roster.
After the break, it's all NBA draft talk as the league prepares for its draft tonight. Bob, Richard, and John look into who they think the Toronto Raptors should draft at 19 before noting the lack of talent in this year’s draft pool.

Carter Verhaeghe notched a goal and an assist, Sam Reinhart found the back of the net, and Sergei Bobrovsky recorded 23 saves as the Panthers triumphed over the Edmonton Oilers 2-1 in Game 7 of the Stanley Cup Final at Amerant Bank Arena on Monday.
The Panthers, who have been part of the NHL since the 1993-94 season, secured their first Stanley Cup championship after three previous unsuccessful attempts in this series. After taking a commanding 3-0 lead, they dropped the next three games and were on the brink of becoming the first team since 1942 to lose four consecutive potential clinching games in the Stanley Cup Final.
 
Eric Duhatschek and Scott Burnside join the show today to talk about it all with Bob and John.

Much to John’s dismay, and to Bob's amusement, the suspension of one of the Blue Jays’ top prospects has forced the two to dedicate the first half of today’s show to baseball talk.
Rob Longley joins the podcast first to give Bob and John his analysis of Orelvis Martinez’s 80-game suspension after recording his first MLB hit over the weekend. Rob gives them an idea of how this will impact the Blue Jays going forward and what to expect from the team as they try to get over yet another hump in their tumultuous season.
After the break, Mike Futa joins the two for some hockey talk as we prepare for one of the league's most anticipated Game 7s in recent history, with Edmonton in Florida to play the Panthers.

With both the Euro and Copa America taking over summer sports, if you turn on your TV,there’s a good chance soccer is going to be on.
Reacting to Canada’s 2-0 loss to Argentina last night, James Sharman comes on the show to give his thoughts on Copa America’s opening match and what to expect from our Canadian men. During the second half of the show, James shifts focus to the Euros as we get a breakdown of everything happening in the soccer world to end the week.

Paul Jones joins Bob and John for some hoops talk. The three begin by sharing their reactions to the Boston Celtics' convincing 4-1 series win over the Dallas Mavericks to take home the franchise's 18th NBA Championship. 
Next, they delve into the Toronto Raptors' offseason, discussing the team's goals and expectations for the upcoming season, including insights on Gary Trent Jr. Finally, the trio wraps up with a look at Canada Basketball, analyzing their training camp roster and setting expectations for their performance in the 2024 Olympic Games.

Baseball is on the agenda today as Bob and John welcome Dave Hodge and Gregor Chisholm onto the show.
At the age of 93, one of baseball’s legends has passed away. Bob, John, Dave, and Gregor start today's show by remembering the Hall of Famer in a tribute to one of the game's greatest to ever do it.
After the break, it’s all Blue Jays. The four discuss the inconsistent play that has essentially been the only consistent trend with this team over the last year. There seems to be more bad than good with this team as the four take a look at their long list of things to improve and try to decide where this organization should start first, as one thing is clear: this is not the team the front office wants fans to believe it is.
