PTI is straight up just two curmudgeons bytching about how things are today, especially Wilbon.
It'll be like Happy 38th birthday Clayton Kershaw
and then Wilbon will go on a rant about analytics and the death of starting pitching and they brag about not watching an event. I've noticed that there's a market for legendary sports talk figures where they have pods or shows where all they do is complain... unless their team does well. Then everything is awesome.
Lol yeah right. That shyt dead dead. Maybe Paul and Gilbert backlash might bring some regular shyt back though with Skip decaying before our eyes.bytches need to bring back them ESPN Classic shows
That block of programming that always ended with PTI transitioning into Sportcenter was great back in the day. We got older and mainstream sports media reverted to puberty 
Smart phones also made them irrelevant.

I loved that block as a kid. Probably haven’t sat through it since 2008 though.That block of programming that always ended with PTI transitioning into Sportcenter was great back in the day. We got older and mainstream sports media reverted to puberty
Reason I thought Max was better is because he would go back at the panelists with legit points of discussion. It took Tony a VERY LONG TIME before he was comfortable doing that. He would just let the panelists run over him until he just hit the mute button and let someone else talk. Max controlled the show more and was more interactive with counterpoints. Marriotti in particular started getting wild loose.

He never hosted a show before. Once he got his experience up he surpassed Max.

PTI and Around the horn still comes on?!?!?!Man cable being cut really shifted how we watched TV.
I remember when Around the Horn legit used to be the building block for writers to become broader personalities. But honestly, there's no need for a show like that now. Podcasts, and general social media have become the preferred method for getting your brand out there. And the PTI format is in a weird place where it doesn't really offer long enough windows to get off nuanced points or effectively explain the thoughts behind the takes. I'd say the show could almost benefit from being longer, but I think that'd defeat he purpose of the timed talking windows that make the show unique. Either way, it's still nice seeing David Dennis Jr in there at times. I remember way back when he used to write for The Smoking Section.
PTI, on the other hand? It's time to go. It's become a parody of itself as time has gone on, and the few occasions that I've watched over the last few years have been pretty rough. I appreciate how great the show was back in the day, but it's over.

I legit haven’t watched PTI and Around the Horn since 2009
Both shows have stayed way past their expiration date.
YouTube has transformed the way we consume sports media. All you need is a camera, microphone and an interesting opinion.
