The Steve Warne Project - Ottawa Sports Talk

Former PGA Player Brad Fritsch joins us to discuss Rory McIlroy finally winning The Masters and joining an exclusive club of six men to win all four majors. We talk about the next Canadian to win a major. And we get into some Ottawa Senators discussion as they clinch a playoff spot.

We're closing in on our 1000th episode. Whoa. We discuss Alex Ovechkin breaking Wayne Gretzky's record and how it all sounded on Sunday. We get into how ridiculous the disparity in spending is in baseball. The Senators are going to make the playoffs. Actor Val Kilmer passed away last week. The Masters is looming. Jimmy tells us about a special interview he has coming up with a 9-11 survivor.

Welcome to Sports and Whatever with Steve Warne and Jim Jerome, your go-to podcast for all things sports, pop culture, and everything in between! This week, the boys talk about:

• The generation gap between Jim and his daughter,
• Ottawa Senators are rolling,
• Ovechkin's pursuit of Gretzky's record – is it the most impressive record in hockey or not?
• John Tortorella’s firing in Philadelphia,
• Jon Cooper hits 12 years as coach in Tampa,
• a review of the TV show The Pit.

Whether it’s sports analysis or just a good laugh, we’ve got you covered.

Jim talks about his curling exploits and Rachel Homan's second straight world title. We discuss our early days in radio. Paul Bissonnette's star continues to rise on NHL broadcasts on both sides of the border. The Senators are looking good with a win over the Devils, but Sheldon Keefe was a little cranky afterward. And a little golf talk as we look forward to The Masters.

This week, the boys reminisce about childhood memories, Jim's experience buying a very used car for his son (without inspection), and DIY car repairs using YouTube. They delve into the emotional aspects of life in the NHL, reflecting on player trades and the grind of the sport. They get into Aaron Rodgers' career decisions. They touch on recent sports updates, including the Ottawa Senators' winning streak and Corey Connors’ performance on the weekend. And as always some TV /Movie recommendations.
