Vern Gagne 0 Report post Posted February 11, 2005 I'm starting to like 1st and 10. Bayless wasn't always a favorite, but he has opinions and he sticks by them. Woody Page is also more relaxed during that show. It's 2nd overall to PTI. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cabbageboy 0 Report post Posted February 11, 2005 1st and 10 is actually a concise version of what Bayless and Paige do on Cold Pizza. I've become a reasonably big fan of that show. Bayless still comes off like the biggest queen, heh. At least he and Woody seem to be buddies offscreen, unlike on ATH where Woody and Mariotti really seem to hate each other. And yes, Woody is more relaxed than his usual ranting on ATH. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

"and then there 3" "he GONE" "we're on a 23 1/2 hour break, see you tomorrow Around The Horn" oh and he needs to stop with the "throwing the paper ball at the camera" schtick...reminds me of Jimmy Fallon and his lame "throw the pencil at the camera" thing on Weekend Update...

cabbageboy 0 Report post Posted February 12, 2005 I dunno, dude. When Skip and Woody argue and tease you can tell they are just doing a schtick. I can't imagine Mariotti and Woody even wanting to be in the same room together. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

"and then there 3" "the rest of you remain seated" the 23 1/2 break goes way back to Max, though.

kkktookmybabyaway 0 Report post Posted February 12, 2005 Well too bad that black guy from Texas has all the personality of my crap, and that Boston guy whines about being held down by the man. I still like them though, and the guy from LA, too. I never detected any hatred among the ATH columnists, but Jay Mariotti has made remarks about Tony K. from PTI hating him...

Smith and Adande win often. Mariotti was stuck at 98 wins for like a week. The only reason he has 98 wins is because HE'S BEEN ON EVERY SINGLE DAY SINCE THE SHOW BEGAN. (Almost.) Seriously, is he that lonely at the Sun-Times offices that he has nothing better to do than ATH every day? Poor Jay. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mik 0 Report post Posted February 18, 2005 They shouldn't. Statboy is easily a better ATH host than Max Kellerman. Woody was solid gold on ATH yesterday. He kept bringing up obscure 1974 stories for every topic even when they had nothing to do with the subject at hand and he ended up with -2 before he was eliminated. Woody Paige and JA Adande are the best things on ATH. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Brett Favre 0 Report post Posted February 18, 2005 Another good moment was when Colishaw (sp?) won and started to talk about Nascar before being muted, and stripped of his 30 seconds. Woody ended up taking them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mik 0 Report post Posted February 19, 2005 Yeah, they eliminated him before the show as kind of a gimmick. He had a Dream Job requirement and I guess they couldn't find a 4th person. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest NaturalBornThriller4:20 Report post Posted February 19, 2005 Paige, Adande, and Michael Smith are the only ones who know what the hell they are talking about. Over the past month or so i've been watching Cold Pizza and I actually prefer 1 and 10 over ATH. Paige is at his best there. P.S. Now that I,Max is over, bring back Michael Holley!

Not that they don't have enough writers to choose from, I wonder if they would let Micheal Holly, and Bill Wolf back? I doubt it, ESPN seems like a vindictive station.

kkktookmybabyaway 0 Report post Posted February 19, 2005 I don't want Holly back. He was my favorite Boston talking head when he was on ATH, but once you leave for greener pastures don't come back. And I laughed on Friday's show when Kevin B. admitted he had a NASCAR fantasy league team and spent his 30 seconds talking about bowling. One of the reasons I like that show is because the people on it don't take it seriously (or at least they appear to)... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
