Journalist/Broadcaster/Author Damien Cox talks about starting out from The Toronto Star’s Scarborough bureau [the Toronto Zoo beat], co-hosting Prime Time Sports with the Bobcat Bob McCown [otherwise known as The Cutting Edge...with listeners!], his afternoon show on The FAN and subsequent books with Gord Stellick, his stint on Hockey Night in Canada during the Strombo Years, his thoughts on the major players [Darryl/Lanny/Borje/Inge/Captain Video/Palmy/Tiger/Harold] involved in his new book on the 1977/78 Toronto Maple Leafs, his love for Wayne Gretzky and lack thereof for Leo Cahill & Pat Quinn, his unprecedented 10+ year handshake agreement with The Toronto Star, and why simply speaking his mind is what he does best!
