For anyone who has yet to sample The Bottom Line Sports Show, here’s an anecdote that’s indicative of just how entertaining—and unexpected—it can be: Five months ago, while retired NBA great Penny Hardaway was on announcing his intention to try and rejoin the Miami Heat to play side by side with newly-signed superstar LeBron James, Larry Fitzgerald dropped in to join the conversation.

Many of the tops stars from the world of sports and entertainment regularly appear as guests.

And for our female listeners we’ve got actress Cherie Johnson of Punky Brewster and Family Matters fame, who does a regular segment called “What’s Cherie’s Commentary?” In short, The Bottom Line Sports Show is a heaping portion of sports talk with a double shot of humor.
