The Bob McCown Podcast Fadoo Productions

Steve Simmons from the Toronto Sun joins Bob and John for todays episode.

The three discuss the growing interest in Soccer in Canada and question whether the viewership we have seen with our Canadian Men's Soccer Team will translate to Major League soccer or if this affinity to the game will stay at the international level.

We also look at the apparent declining interest in the Olympics, why we think that is and wether the popularity of the Olympic Games will ever get close to what it once was.

To start the week off, Mike, Scott, Bob & John discuss the second half of the NHL season and the NHL Trade deadline as we are only a month away.

The four talk about Jack Eichel's return and the strong Western conference before shifting over to the topic of the trade deadline on March 21st. The four debate about why a team should or should not push for a trade this late into the season and what teams will be buyers and who will be sellers this month on todays episode.

Friend of the podcast and sports writer for The Athletic Ricard Deitsch joins the show to go over his thoughts on both the labour stoppage in Major League Baseball and the Beijing Olympics. 

We discuss how long we think the two sides will take in order to get Baseball back up and running again and the current state of the Olympic Games - predominantly the women's free skate figure skating event, the IOC's lack of action when it comes to the Russian doping scandal and the medias involvement in the issue.

We could have gone an hour more a couple weeks ago and we can say the same for today's episode as we bring Mike Milbury back to give us some more stories from his playing days as well as some pretty hot takes.

We talk about how Mike got his way into the NHL, playing for Head Coach Don Cherry & with an all time great in Bobby Orr.

Jon Paul Morosi stops by to chat with Bob and John about the current situation regarding Major League Baseball's work stoppage. 

But, as always before we get into baseball, we give J.P. some time to talk about his second favourite sport as we discuss Jack Eichel's return to play and the Vegas Golden Knights impending cap problem.
