Show Notes

Postmedia/Toronto Sun journalist Steve Simmons talks about Ironman Phil Kessel’s never-ending Hot Dog story, why Raghib ‘The Rocket’ Ismail was a real pill, expanding his Sunday Notes column from 600 to 2200 words, paring down his 9,000+ columns to select the best mix of 89 for his book A Lucky Life, leveraging Cliff Fletcher’s real estate transactions to score the front page of the Calgary Herald, American blowhard Keith Olbermann calling him ‘the worst person in the world’ [not once but twice!], why Bryan Colangelo became obsessed with the definition of ‘bafflegab,’ the voracious appetites of the wide-bodied Oliver Miller, why Isaiah Thomas was the ‘smiling assassin,’ the charisma/financial manipulations of Bruce McNall, why Larry Murphy wasn’t really as bad as Maple Leafs fans would lead you to believe, and ponders “whatever became of...Condredge Holloway/Rocky Saganiuk/Doug Christie/Dave Stieb/Terry Greer?”

Steve Simmons’ A Lucky Life: Gretzky, Crosby, Kawhi, and More From the Best Seat in the House is available now from your preferred bookseller!
