UZI Suicide 0 Report post Posted July 13, 2005 PTI was terrible today. I tuned in and caught that fat tub of horse shit Jason Whitlock saying Lance Armstrong isn't a real athlete, and Michael Smith doing his worst Kornheiser impression. I'll be tuning out until Tony and Mike return. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kkktookmybabyaway 0 Report post Posted July 13, 2005 Oh lord. I'm glad I missed that episode. Of course that fat bastard wouldn't consider Lance a real athlete... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mik 0 Report post Posted July 13, 2005 I like Michael Smith but I've just erased it the past few days without even watching it. Jason Whitlock is horrible. Why do they keep trying to call him a pimp and a ladies' man. HE IS 400 POUNDS. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cabbageboy 0 Report post Posted July 13, 2005 Whitlock is ok on the Sports Reporters but there he has Lupica, Ryan, Albom, etc. to call him out on whatever bullshit he comes up with. When he actually gets to present an entire side of an argument that's when he comes off like a dick. As far as the 400 lb. ladies man goes, hey it works for Viscera. As far as LeBatard goes, does he really play the heel? If so I'd say it's X-Pac type heat cause you can hear everyone around the country groan when he shows up.

Dangerous A 0 Report post Posted July 13, 2005 Off topic, but still related to an ESPN show, did Cold Pizza get rid of Jay Crawford? Hope so because he came off like such a tool. Something tells me he is on a long vacation or something, but I haven't seen him in a few weeks, which makes me want to tune in. I still haven't forgiven Cold Pizza for getting rid of Thea Andrews and replacing her with that new gal who's name escapes me at the moment. On the website, they have bios for Woody, Skip, and Jay, but not the new gal. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
King Kamala 0 Report post Posted July 13, 2005 As far as the 400 lb. ladies man goes, hey it works for Viscera. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Don't forget Meat Loaf! PTI is just not the same when Wilbon and/or Kornheiser are absent. It's just like the sports debate show equivalent of Coy and Vance on Dukes of Hazard. I'd almost rather have them put on a classic boxing match instead of PTI, if the hosts aren't there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mik 0 Report post Posted July 13, 2005 So that was the big surprise that Stat Boy mentioned yesterday. Nice. Sucks that I opened this thread and read it before I hit the Tivo later, but it's not exactly earth shattering. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mik 0 Report post Posted July 13, 2005 Woody said something today like, "Michael, it's good to have you back. Whatever happened to that other guy?" And Reali said..."Ok, that's enough of that." I'd be pretty pissed if they brought Max back. I think Stat Boy is a better host. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cheech Tremendous 0 Report post Posted July 13, 2005 What's everyone's problem with Max (curiosity, not flaming). I know he can be a little obnoxious from time to time, but he seemed to be one of the few talking heads who actually knew his shit. He subbed a few weeks back on for Dan on the Dan Patrick Show, and did a fantastic job, in my opinion. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dangerous A 0 Report post Posted July 13, 2005 It's like you said, it's his obnoxiousness. That, and he is quite full of himself. That's not to say Reali is the most humble guy in the world or anything, but it's a different kind of arrogance he projects. It's all a matter of taste really and Max just annoys me while I think Reali is pretty cool. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Star Ocean 3 0 Report post Posted July 14, 2005 Arrogant Max can be entertaining. It doesn't always seem sincere, more like it's to make an interesting TV character. He did allow himself to be completely trashed on his own show with those e-mails, that counts for something. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dangerous A 0 Report post Posted July 14, 2005 Max Kellerman is a million times better than Tony Reali. Max made that show. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I guess ESPN must be dropping the ball then because Reali is still hosting and Max is doing, well, who cares what he's doing? If Max was so much better than Reali, then why didn't they ask for him back or give him a new show? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bruiser Chong 0 Report post Posted July 14, 2005 Whitlock was funny during last summer's Who's Number 1? specials on ESPN. "You take away a kid's McDonalds and of course he's going to become a criminal!" But yeah, he's terrible on PTI. In fact, I think everyone but Wilbon and Tony are lousy on the show. I don't mind Smith and Marriotti on ATH, but for some reason, everyone but the actual hosts seem wooden and unnatural on the show. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Star Ocean 3 0 Report post Posted July 14, 2005 Isn't PTI made for Tony and Wilbon? The format fits their style, so it's no surprise other people don't do as well with it. The Dana woman on 1st and 10 seems to really want it, she kept going on about wanting to get married and wanting Woody to look at her. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mik 0 Report post Posted July 15, 2005 I'd imagine that you don't really need a reason to hate Jay Mariotti. Does anyone else crack up everytime Reali says "Aaaandruw Jones" in the voice of the TBS announcer? Gets me everytime. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest StylesMark Report post Posted July 15, 2005 It has been horrible since they are gone. Whitlock always comes off like a dick. Kornheiser and Michael Smith wasn't even THAT good last week. But much better than what's going on this week. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
