I get chills everytime I see this

A little reminder of when the Leafs used to be good.

Gotta love the old Maple Leaf Gardens and vintage Bob Cole.

Down goes Brown

To go with yesterday's Sportsline post.

Classic call by the Great Joe Bowen - the best play by play man in the business.

Glad to see Sportsline back

I saw the commercial for Sportsline a few days ago and it brought back some great memories.

Before the coming of all the sports network stations on TV, there was Sportsline. I remember watching it every night at around 11:30pm and it was the best sports show around because it had the full highlights that the regular news wouldn't cover.

And the hosts - Mark Hebscher, Jim Tatti, and Don Martin rocked. They were funny and just plain cool. The Hebsy Awards were great too. I think I had an old VHS tape somewhere will each month's collection on them - I gotta find that thing.

Anyway, the show is back on CHCH. Although it is just Hebsy returning.

What is Jim Tatti up to? Real Estate - likely more money in that anyway. He still talks sports with his blog.

And Don Martin? I don't know where he is right now but the last time I ran into him he was playing golf in Ballantrae. Many moons ago we played the old shinny game together, and as a reporter a few times when he had a better position than me in a scrum of reporters he generously grabbed my tape recorder for me to get my voice quotes. A really good guy.

Anyway, glad to see that the show is back. I hope all those guys are doing well though.

Check out this vintage footage of when Bob McCown hosted the show.
