Pardon the Interruption
 

Anyone watch this show on ESPN? I try to watch it every night, I'm definitely a fan. Kornheiser and Wilbon are good hosts, and unlike other shows, it really doesn't lose too much when one of them is off (like last night Bob Ryan from the Boston Globe was a co-host).

Anyone else like the show?

my boyfriend got me stuck on this show. i can only watch when he is around. i think the topics/discussions are really good.

I'm a big fan of PTI and now Around the Horn that they've got Stat Boy running it.

There's just something about the format that i like, and i think Wilbon and Kornheiser are hilarious.

I do hate on Around the Horn when they refer to Tim Cowlishaw as "Texas Tim". He may be from Dallas, but like most states with 2 large cities, there's a difference in Dallas-think and Houston-think.

Houston being the better.


Woody Paige cracks me the shit up.

is that the show where they only have a certain amount of time to talk about a certain topic? if it is, i love that show!

Aside from Kornheiser thinking Dog Show was a sport and that the dogs are athletes, I enjoy both shows.

I actually liked Kellerman. Stat Boy just seems more preppie and more stifler-like. He picks one writer to be a dick to every show, and it's almost often Paige, who rules.

Besides, Kellerman took the second best writer on the panel

1) Woody Paige
2) Michael Holley (Now at FSW on I, Max with Kellerman)
3) Marriotti
4) Plaske (sp)/Bob Ryan
5) JA Adande/Michael Smith
6) Jackie McMullen
7) Calishaw
8) Blackistone (sp)
9) Burgess
10) Dan Chanoff SUCKS AND NEEDS TO GO

As a future sports writer, I can't get enough of both shows.

Around the Horn is more of a game played by really good writers. PTI is more of an in-depth discussion with a time-limit.

I liked Michael Holley on there as well - he was back to writing columns for the Boston Globe again, but now that he's gone out west he's not doing that anymore; it's a shame, he's a good writer.

Jackie McMullen is a solid sportswriter...she's another one who should write more columns in the Globe.

I'm not as big a fan of Around the Horn - for some reason the host bothers me, although the sportswriters they have on are hilarious (especially Paige).

that's the one

used to watch it everyday now its old news and i could care less. The only time it is good is when Tony and Mike are the ones hosting and saying "your boy insert name is in the news, what do you think."

pti is a very consistent show that doesn't take itself too seriously -- but is never way off the pace. around the horn is dull.

I love that show. :) I actually preferred Max Kellerman to Statboy on ATH but now I watch him on I, Max, so it's all good.

While he spends a lot of time off in the ozone, Paige is a great writer. Strange guy personally.

I watch it whenever I get a chance. Good Show.

To quote Tony Montana:
"Hey, you weren't kidding mang..."

I don't watch now that there aren't any sports I care about in season right now, but in the fall and winter I watch religiously. I'm trying to get my friend a job as Stat Girl...she knows more about sports than any guy or girl I've ever met (and don't start hating).

That sounds like a challenge...
