Watch me debate sports with an Olympic champion

It's not everyday you get to interview a true champion, much less have a friendly argument with one. I mentioned at the tail end of last week how I had the pleasure of meeting and interviewing on our live newscast the last American man to win gold in the marathon Frank Shorter.

Frank, who is also a lawyer and has previously chaired anti-doping efforts, was nice enough to come back on the sportstalk TV show I co-host with Brant McCreadie, and take part in "5-in-5", our debate of national sports topics. Brant mediated a lively discussion between Frank (left) and I (right) over the following issues:
  • What baseball record is most likely to br broken first - Ted Williams' .406 batting average or Joe DiMaggio's 56-game hitting streak?
  • Were the Eagles right to suspend Terrell Owens for the remainder of the season?
  • Who's your midseason NFL MVP?
  • Is this the Colts best chance to make it to Detroit for the Super Bowl?
  • Of the four major sports leagues (NBA, NFL, MLB, NHL), which has the better all-star game?
Download our debate (18.7 MB). Enjoy!
