I LOVE IT.
Ever since I subscribed to my new channel dedicated to American sports about a month ago, I've never looked back. With such great shows like Pardon the Interuption and now NFL Live starting with the upcoming preseason it's amazing.
But Around the Horn is THE top show to watch, except when they're on about boring baseball, which I can't wait till the end of the season. Now the little NFL pre season things have just made the show awesome. Ricky Williams, Quincy Carter, cocky draft picks.
All the hot sports news in one program presented by the cocky but cool stat freak Tony Reali with a host of great/funny/annoying/loud sportswriters. I can't believe I've missed out on the show until a month ago. The yanks always rip off British shows, we should rip this one off.
Around the horn is a very good show indeed. But I prefer Pardon the interruption. Those guys make such a great team and they know their shit.
where's Tony and Wilbon at
oh and Around the horn is good but was better with MAX

this is the time of year i HATE. Football is all they show on Sportscenter. The first 15 minutes of this morning's sportscenter was about quincy carter and the lewis guy and i was pissed. don't get me wrong, i love football as much as the next guy, but i'm more of a baseball and basketball fan.
Haha, I can't wait till baseball season is over. Just aint for me, it's cricket in a diamond with a hell of a lot more useless stats.

I can agree with you on that, useless stats and all.

I watched it everyday with Max. I barely watch it at all now. -Pat
Stephen A Smith is cool, but Jay Mariotti is the guy to watch. He's a hoot man.

I like baseball & basketball, but there is NOTHING worse (except maybe Neckcar/NASCAR highlights)than watching Sports Center with 25 minutes of baseball highlights when there is nothing else going on sports-wise. All Sports Center will show are homeruns and a nice defensive play now & again. Football highlights are soooooo much better. Can't wait for NFL Priiiimetiiime. One month until NFL & NCAA kickoff.

I couldn't agree with you more, Turi. This show is fantastic. And Jay Mariotti is the BEST. I too love it when him and Woody Paige go at it in "The Showdown", when it's considered as a "ratings day". I have no problem with Tony Reali, since he absolutely loves stats. Very high-paced sports talk, which is right up my alley. PTI is also a great show. ESPN couldn't have come up with any 2 new programs better than these.
