    George Ofman On The State Of Professional Sports In Chicago & His New Book: Tell Me A Story I Don’t Know.

    The last few years have been tough for Chicago sports fans, and it seems like this year is no different.
    George Ofman joins the show today to chat with John and Richard about Chicago’s bleak-looking baseball teams, the perpetually rebuilding Bears and Bulls, and the recent news surrounding Corey Perry and the Blackhawks.
    In an effort to keep things at least a little bit positive, we also spend some time talking about George’s book, 'Tell Me a Story I Don’t Know,' available now.

    An American Sports Journalist In Canada: Michael Farber On Life, Sports & Thanksgiving North of The Border.

    It’s Thanksgiving weekend for our neighbours to the South, and with multiple ties to the States here at The Bob McCown Podcast it wouldn’t feel right to ignore it.
    A Canadian citizen as of 2017, Michael Farber joins the show today to talk with John and fellow American born Richard Deitsch to give us his perspective on covering the sporting culture here in Canada, the evolution of our sport coverage and of course, celebrating American Thanksgiving in The Great White North.

    The Shohei Ohtani Free Agency Sweepstakes & The Toronto Blue Jays With Jon Paul Morosi

    The Shohei Ohtani Free Agency Sweepstakes & The Toronto Blue Jays With Jon Paul Morosi

    If we could, we would make MLB’s Free Agency Process A LOT faster… but we can’t… so we won’t. What we can do, however, is bring on one of baseball’s most informed reporters, Jon Paul Morosi onto the show to talk about it. So we did!
    J.P. Morosi joins us today to try to convince John and Richard why the Toronto Blue Jays have a legitimate chance at signing superstar pitcher, SHohei Ohtani. We then focus the rest of our time on what the heck the Toronto Blue Jays are going to do this summer if they can’t miraculously sign the Japanese phenom.

    With the NHL games in Sweden in the rearview mirror, the three take a look at what this could mean for international play in the future. They explore potential formats for a future World Cup before delving into the surprisingly good Vancouver Canucks, the surprisingly bad Edmonton Oilers, and everything else in between on today's NHL-centered show.

Excellent Show

Excellent show great to hear Bob coming on the show every few days!

Too much hockey

Needs to broaden conversations. This week was all hockey. I like hockey but it’s seems like this is all they talk about. The most recent one was about a guy who got his first win for the Tampa bay lightening…boring. I’ll start listening again if they talk more about other sports. John.. stop talking over others.
