Sportsbash Friday: NHL Cancels Winter Classic, Plus a 6-Pack of NFL Picks

Did you miss the Sports Bash or do you just want to listen to it again?

The Sports Bash ON DEMAND gives you the chance to go back and hear what you missed. Its the Sports Bash with Mike Gill and Todd Ranck.

Here is today’s show: Friday November 2nd, 2012.

Margate Bridge Charging?!?

Mike and Todd open up "The Sportsbash" talking about The Margate Bridge Company charging people for entering and exiting the city of Margate while they are trying to get back into their homes and assess the damage. The bridge later rescinded the toll and it is now free until at least tomorrow. Still, yesterday's social network outrage proved just how effective it can be.

Injury Report

Our resident Injury Expert, Joe DeRosa, called in to talk about the latest injuries effecting the sports world.

Our Eagles Insider, Ryan Messick, a resident of New York City came on with a rant on Mayor Bloomberg's decision to still hold the New York City Marathon this weekend when the whole city and all of it's boroughs are still under water with no power/water.

Barry Melrose Talks Lockout

ESPN Barry Melrose called in to talk about the NHL Lockout as they have canceled the Winter Classic. Melrose said he is shocked that they actually canceled it because that was one game that could keep both sides together. "This could wind up being an all-year thing here, the owners are very serious," Melrose said. The main issues, according to Melrose are: the contracts and the maximum length that they can be.

KC Joyner

Talked with KC Joyner on the Eagles/Saints MNF matchup here and he confirmed for us that the Saints defense is abysmal. We didn't need confirmation for this, but it's just reaffirmation in case you had no idea. Joyner believes that the Eagles are still putting too much offense through Mike Vick and they need to involve LeSean McCoy much more. Read more from KC Joyner here.
