    Another Disappointing Weekend For Toronto Sports Fans With Richard Deitsch.

    Building off their conversation from Friday’s episode with Adnan Virk: Richard Deitsch, Bob, and John start the week reacting to a disappointing outcome in Boston for the Maple Leafs and the bleak showing of baseball seen from the Blue Jays over the weekend.
    The Toronto Blue Jays aren’t good, and it’s obvious. The three spend the first half of the show talking about the disappointing progression the Blue Jays have shown over the last few years and try to figure out what the team has to do to course-correct and when.
    After the break, it’s all Maple Leafs. Bob, John and RIchard try to figure out whats next for this organization after a strikingly familiar end to yet another year of unmet expectations and frustrating results.

My favourite podcast

I was a long time listener to Prime Time Sports and was thrilled when Bob returned to broadcasting. The podcast format makes his show more accessible - thank you. I have listened to each episode (544?) and have never been disappointed. Compared to the other shows that I listen to (both Canadian and U.S.) this podcast provides consistent quality and value. John, I obviously do not have any information about your remuneration, but whatever it is, you need a raise! (Although I do not not understand why a hockey expert of your calibre does not know how to skate.) Keep up the great work. I am not prone to writing online reviews, but wanted to add my voice of support. Happy New Year!

Agree with previous reviews. Since his return McCown has been absurd and downright nasty at times. Actually calling John Shannon stupid one time. And making outrageous statements simply to draw attention. Case in point, saying Scotty Sheffler is as good or better than Tiger Woods in his prime ! Come on ! This is not the same show and oddly it’s much better without McCown.

Unlistenable

Listened since day 1. I loved it. Bob has his health scare and I stuck through despite the rotating hosts, it was still good but no where near the level it was. I was so excited for his full time return at the beginning of the year. He seems to be in better health. But he just argues for the sake of it and comes across completely clueless, his takes have become asinine, he doesn’t listen to anything anyone is saying and just wants to be a contrarian and have baseless arguments. It’s an awful awful extremely frustrating listen now. It’s not a conversation, its an old man yelling and repeating himself. I don’t know how much longer I can listen in hopes it improves, I’m about to give up and delete it from my rotation.
