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

[br82186]

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

No because those hacks are too busy paying Stephen A, Pat, and Shannon that money.

ESPN haven't been the same since the whole Kaepernick/Trump situation in 2016 where it felt like they had to pick a side where in the end it costed them alot of favorites, Jemel Hill, Michael Smith, Dan Le Batard, Max Kellerman, Mina Kimes, Mike Hill and others.

I'll still catch ATH after work, nice fun show with a cool format that doesn't take itself too seriously. It's good to cover anything you may have missed in the sports world that happened within the past day or two all in just 30 minutes. A habit I picked up in college after class and just kept watching.

So what’s the plan for when it goes off air? What happens to Toni Realli? Sucks for him the the GMA years ago failed. How will new ESPN talent get their feet wet and get reps when it comes to on air speaking and debate?

Surely the overhead wasn’t that much.

Whatever happened to Jay Marriotti? They got him out the paint and I haven't seen his face in 10 years.

Him vs woody made for hilarious banter

Get rid of PTI instead. Tony Korn is cool, but that partner of his gotta go.

Yeah I feel like they’re canceling the wrong show. PTI has outlasted its usefulness. All Wilbon does is whine. Some of the cool stuff they used to do they don’t do anymore. They’re rarely in the same room. I remember when their 5 good minutes segment actually had someone who wasn’t a colleague on it. Around the Horn gave shine to reporters and writers. Being on that show is probably one of the only ways people know about the people who work at Andscape.

But does anyone ever watch the cornballs on ATH? I'd have to imagine PTI with two olds guys complaining is doing way better numbers

Whole network is a complete joke now outside of showing games

They keep replaying the same 30 for 30 shyt, especially THE U

These cornhole events, old college basketball games from a few days ago

And pat show is garbage, first take is dried up, pardon is ok when I happen to have it on

NBA live isn’t bad especially when Chiney ass is showing

and the problem is?

I don't watch either anymore but ATH at least has reporters/media personalities that still actively cover the sports/topics that they discuss, neither Wilbon or Kornheiser know wtf is going on anymore and haven't for well over a decade. That is when I tuned out on PTI because it was clear both of them were clueless.

Yeah I agree, but both shows have definitely become the background visuals of airport bars throughout the country. Not a lot of people checking for either show but at least ATH put on different journalists. Not sure if they’ve done it already but it would be cool if they had journalist vs athlete shows every once in awhile. Might bring the show more motion by bringing in athletes with big platforms.

PTI last time I checked was the highest rated show on ESPN lol
