ESPN Ending Around The Horn in 2025 EDIT: Last Episode Will Air On May 23

[FTBS]

I haven't watched PTI in like 10 years I used to DVR that ish and watch every day back in the day

I was a loyal watcher for years. One day I fell off and I didnt watch for a comparable amount of time. When I did watch again, after years of Bomani and Foxxworth and other younger cats on pods etc it felt like watching my dad and his friends yell at clouds . Makes sense that they would be highest rated, as thats the demo that still watches TV.

Hated that dude

If I'm not mistaken, PTI is their highest rated show. They're safe until one of them decide to hang it up

I've always fukked with Kornheiser and Wilbon but I think I slowed down in watching the show once they stopped appearing together consistently. Nothing against Pablo or Frank Isola, but I preferred their dynamic with each other. The irony is I think Kornheiser's absences were due to the podcast he started, which is the same medium that's gonna kill these type of shows.

So why did they beat around the bush months ago when initially asked about it?

Sucks for some of those talent as it helped give them the reps to get more comfortable talking on live TV.

Wonder where this leaves Realli though as they don’t have a replacement slot for him? Also, wonder what does this mean for PTI?

PTI ain't too far behind, but that one will end with a little more fanfare.


I still don't get why they're deading this. It's probably the best talking head show they have. But I guess you can never have enough time to talk NFL

Damn. I haven’t watched this show since Bron was in Miami.

Man I would watch cold pizza in the morning for the hot takes then go to class. Get to work around 4 and this and PTI would be on the tvs.

End of an era

ATH really gave a lot of people their start on a national scale. I never would've known about Blackistone, Woody Paige, Cowlishaw, Mike Smith, Mike Holley, etc because they were all tied to their local sports markets. Bomani was on there. The first time I heard of Mina Kimes was on there. More importantly several black journalists got put on and had a voice especially during events where sports and social issues intersected. They even had shows with an entirely black panel. Some shows had an all female panel.

I just watched the other day and Woody still had jokes

They need to send the show off with a trip to The Adande Lounge.

He always tried to make it sound classy, but you just know those celebs were doing drugs in that lounge.

Wonder what Tony does next

 

[dtownreppin214]

This was peak college cafeteria tv.

 

[K-Apps]

A one hour PTI

 

[Trojan 24]

A one hour PTI

The corpses of Tony and Mike are more entertaining then the rest of their trash anyways, but I doubt the guys themselves would do it

 

[Legal]

A one hour PTI

Nah, nobody needs that.

Man, as love as I love PTI and I am a loyal watcher. An hour of Mike Wilbon would be insufferable. He has become annoying and the old man yelling more times than not. I fukk with Tony a lot more.

 

[FTBS]

Its funny how all the shows they birthed are an hour...usually 2...some got to 2.5 and even 3 yet they been 30 minutes this whole time. I wonder why they never thought of that or if they did why they never went for it. I remember they used to have an extra segment during SC. So they definitely tried to milk it.

 

[HandyWithTheSteel]

I haven’t watched PTI since the Heatles era. ESPN seriously can’t find any young talent?
