Around the Horn?

14
Vote

by user Jamel

I just saw an article on ESPN shows. I wanted to see what people thought of my favorite show: Around the Horn.

It's funny. It's witty. Good guys on it. Just a good old "armchairgm" kind of fun feeling.

Do any of you guys watch it?

I can't stand half of the folks on Around the Horn. THe day that ESPN cancels it will be a great day in my opinion.

Are you kidding me? It's the best show on ESPN hands down.

I have to agree with Jamel here, despite my hatred for the contributers, ESPN is an ENTERTAINMENT network. This Sh*t is entertainment. I despise Mariotti and I suspect there are handjobs (multiple) involved with the host there, but I try to tune in because it is a great combo of sports and entertainment. Just like ACGM. Manny and Tyrone - you guys got a real chemistry here - both have sports knowledge and a feud! If you two could combine forces and get beyond the whole you're gay, or you're a fraud - we've got a real winner here. (I'd negotiate a contract if there's actually money possibilities involved)

Regards,

Clarence

So in otherwords you are trying to say this:

1. Manny should admit he is gay 2. Tyrone should admit he is a fraud They should both shake hands (or weiners) and move on?

That sounds reasonable to me

Oooooo here we go again. Now Manny won't admit he is gay. We'll never get anywhere if you 2 don't admit the truth. Admit to being a fraud about your wife's cooking- I think you once said it tasted great- we all know it doesn't- admit that you lied about that, Manny can admit to his thing, and we can all move on

Haven't seen you around here lately Davis, welcome back! Watch it for the Mariotti/Paige feud! Also, it's like condensed soup - you got all the sports gossip and idiotic commentary in one half-hour!

I've been around... Anyway, whenever I watch Around the Horn, I just get angry. Angry that these worthless clowns actually get paid to spout their ignorant opinions. I don't need to hear anything they have to say. There are kindergartners that are more knowledgeable about sports than Plaschke.

I actually do like Around the Horn. I liked Kellerman as the host more, but Tony has grown on me. In many ways Around the Horn resembles life around here on the Chair, and I dont mean that as a knock. If the Sports Reportors are the parent, Around the Horn is the artistic child

Tony is by far the best part of the show- the guys gets to rip on all of them and tell them to shut up whenever he wents- imagine a MUTE button here at armchair- that would be great!

Cheers to another great brief story from Jamel - I know there are haterz out there but this is a great point of contention among sports fanatics - I know this one can be ANOTHER story that sparks a big debate between two heavyweight commenters - will it be??? PS - how many minuses and bitching will result from all of this? ACGM has to get some Bodog action!

Best moment I have seen on ATH- Mariotti/Fucktard- discussing Kobe's flying elbow when he shoots the ball. Mariotti/Fucktard states that Kobe is doing it on purpose and proceeds to show a real life demonstration on how you are suppose to throw a basketball. Anyway, Tony rips on him and says "Since when did you become an expert on this?". Mariotti/Fucktard looks at him bewildered and says "Well I was around for like 6 championships!"- Tony immediately mutes him and takes away all his points- ohhhhh the power he holds!

PTI is a better show than ATH, based on the fact that you only have 2 people talking instead of 4. When Kellerman was the host, Bob Ryan was pretty much the winner all of the time. ATH had it's hayday with the disembodied voice.

So who do you guys think is the biggest douchebag on ATH- Fucktard/Mariotti gets my vote

(the youtube video is Woody swearing)

But a harder question is Who is the best person on ATH- and Tony doesn't count!

I like Mariotti and Paige because watching them fight is what makes it entertaining. Plus they can back up most of their opinions. They just don't say, no. They say no, and then a legit reason.

And gets muted instantly for both. Love the message that sends. ESPN signs a huge deal to broadcast NASCAR races, but we don't care enough for you to talk about NASCAR on our piddly little, don't-you-dare-take-us-seriously show.

Hey, at least NASCAR gets mentioned. ESPN owns a piece of the AFL and it never comes up at all, even thought Planske, Paige, Marrioti, and Cowilshaw all have playoff teams in their towns.

Michael Smith is very good and I also enjoy going to the JA Adande lounge. Woody Paige can get pretty high on the Unintentional Comedy Scale, especially when he practically gives Michael Vick a blow job.

It seems I'm the minority here, but I just think that Around the Horn represents all that is wrong with the 4-letter in one little segment. Very little substance, but a lot of yelling. Personally, I would prefer less yelling and selling and more actual journalism and intelligent insight from the network.

Cheezer I wrote this just to create controversy- the show is horrible yet for some strange reason I watch it- you are right- no substance- they have NO IDEA what they are talking about or discussing- Woody and Fucktard Mariotti bitch back and forth like Manny and Tyrone over who has the bigger dick- I just wanted to see what people thought of the show-
