“I’ve been watching and, subsequently, listening to these two for 19 years now. For a very long time, they were maybe not always insightful on certain topics, but they were at least sharp enough to be able to understand things, even when they disagreed with them. But recently, they have gotten very, very stuck in their attitudes, and unwilling to admit that they can be wrong. They have become a pair of brick walls. For instance, as I type this, they just published an episode where they begin by covering the impending release of Russell Wilson from the Broncos. Wilbon, needing to get his digs in against the “analytics people”(who don’t make acquisition decisions, which you would think a guy covering sports since the 1970s would understand by now, but we can’t let that get in the way of a narrative!), starts mocking the “analytics” that told the Broncos to trade for him, before then… telling us Wilson actually “didn’t play badly” and blaming his performance on the rest of the team. Which… if that’s true, then the “analytics” boogeyman he hates so much did a decent job, right? He even advocates for Wilson getting another starting job! And this is fresh off the intro to the show, so it’s not like he’s had time to have his attention waver. He just leans on his ignorant narratives and says the same pointless nonsense every day(well, every day that he shows up, which is like 2/3 days?). I could get a list of the show topics 20 minutes before it was recorded, and by the time he starts to talk, I could tell you exactly what he’s going to say the entire show, minus his occasional anecdotes from 30+ year old encounters with coaches and executives, which he just uses as a vehicle to complain more about young players in every sport, as usual. Kornheiser at least occasionally seems like he’s trying, but winds up looking lost more often than not if you watch the video feed or pay attention to his pauses. It’s sad to see them aging like this.”

“Great show and I usually try and catch it on TSN, that is unless it's Thursday or Friday. Then the braintrust running the programming at TSN decide that we'd rather catch the 1st & 2nd round of a meaningless golf tournament instead. For a MAJOR golf tournament I can understand....but...”Read full review »

“I love being able to get PTI on my ipod for free. Definitely one of my favorite podcasts. ESPN should do Around The Horn on podcast too.”
