Former Olympian Puts Canadian Basketball Run in Perspective

Ben starts the show with Michael Grange who will be up early for Canada’s semi-final against Serbia.

Then his thoughts on the US Open, the rise of Ben Shelton and why ratings and attendance in the US are soaring during the tournament. Later, former Raiders CEO and CBS analyst Amy Trask looks ahead to Week 1, why Chris Jones can still find his way into the game tonight and what’s caught her eye heading into the start of the season (49:38). We close with former Canadian basketball star Todd MacCulloch who was on the last team to play in the Olympics on what’s it been like following Team Canada at the FIBA World Cup (1:16:40).
