I would hang up on people, insult people on the air. And you know, success came almost immediately. People didn't like me, but they listened. The best preparation is an open ear. I've never gone into an interview with a list of questions. I may have a direction that I want to go in, but my philosophy for a long time now has been that an interview is nothing more than a conversation, and a conversation is predicated on reacting, rather than planning.

The key is not to be so caught up in your own role that you lose the ability to listen. Same thing with a list of questions — if you have them in front of you then invariably you're thinking about the next question rather than listening to the answer. The answer will give you the next question and then that answer will give you the question after that. The subject's response always sets the road map for the interview.

After it's over, someone might ask me, "Did you get what you wanted? And it was a real conversation. For me, that's the goal. I never went to broadcast school, but as far as I know they still teach this concept that dead air is a terrible thing and that as a radio host, your most important function is to fill it. I totally disagree. For me a silence in an interview can be a dramatic pause — either an exclamation point or a "dot, dot, dot" like a drumroll.

People don't change the channel. If anything they turn up the volume to see what's coming. Never quite understand how this guy keeps wearing sunglasses even while inside. I caught a few of his shows lately on Sportsnet and while he does have informative and opinionated comments, the sunglass just kills me man LOL Fashion statement? Eye problem? Same with poker players So that their opponents don't know what moves they are contemplating? I read somewhere that the people who wear sunglasses indoors falls into 2 categories: blind folks and a-holes.

Not to say Bob is either LOL but some food for thought! He wears them because his eyes are sensative to the bright studio lights. It's become his trademark now. I only learnt of Mr. Along with Jeff Blair, Mr. I will sorely miss Mr. In an effort to pinch the pennies, I hope Rogers can gain a semblance of understanding of what they have thrown away here. No one can replace what Mr.

McCown brought to the show, to the station, and to the Sportsnet consortium. McCown, Thank You very much for what you delivered on a daily and weekly basis. Your presence, knowledge, tact, and contributions will be sorely missed. Be well Sir. What a joke.

The only guy worth listening to and watching. Sportsnet is just awful in every other way. They must have their bimbo quota in every department. Ken Reid and Ivanka are absolutely horrible Greg Vaughn was fantastic. Sportsnet is doomed now. Bob was fantastic. Art Hindle…is a pinhead. Well written Howard.

I miss hearing your sports reports on the radio. I hope he ends up somewhere. TSN now my sports media of choice. When I see stories like this, about millionaire public figures it makes me think of the real world. I worked 30 years for an airborne survey company and was laid off at age 57 with no pension. I worked my ass off but price of oil and minerals collapsed in the great recession, which by the way looks like it is about to repeat. Six of my co-workers over those thirty years died in crashes.

What can I say? I think Bob McCown has no complaints.
