PTI at #3 is huge spew

This Week in Baseball with Mel Allen is hugely underrated. once upon a time there was no nightly sportscenter and the only way to get baseball highlights (other than reading box scores from the local newspaper) was to watch TWIB once a week.

Seems like a weird thing to complain about since PTI was revolutionary when it debuted, and somehow Speak for Yourself is #8 on the list, which is shocking that it's even on the list in the first place.

Some of the programs on here are for legacy reasons and not because they are really that good anymore.

I like Michael Wilbon.

Kornheiser is a curmudgeon though.

I thought the same thing. Not interesting.

I remember watching PTI back in like 2006 and tony would openly say he doesn't watch any sports besides golf and someone people would still care about his opinion. It's amazing it's still on.

I religiously watched PTI for probably half a dozen years or so. It really is one of the best. People like to hate on TK, maybe it was the MNF stint but the show was great for the pairing with Wilbon, and the format. Easily the best format of all those types of shows.

ATH can be entertaining
as can Highly Questionable
High Noon is pretty good

PTI might have been good when it first came along, but other shows have lapped them
now whenever i watch it now their awful old man takes piss me off so damn much
like Feldman said, they don't even watch anything anymore, just fire off some casualfan takes written by some intern or whatever
no accounting for taste tho...

PPl that still watch PTI, like me (occasionally), watch it for Wilbon and TK and their comeraderie (sp?), not their scorching sports insight, which they don't have. They haven't been interesting or 15 years but they're still entertaining on TV in small bits from time to time imo

Highly Questionable was great with Dan and Bomani, and now has been overtaken by High Noon (because of Bomani).

No need to misrepresent the allegations, they’re awful enough as it is. Your link says one count of bodily harm and one count of death threats.

Good point, my bad. Wonder what the distinction is in Canadian/Quebecois law.

ACBH seems to be between simple assault and aggravated assault, where there are fairly significant injuries but not disfigurement or disability or such.

I like how the Ringer is all like 25 year olds and they have to pretend they're way into 80s nostalgia to placate Simmons.

Aren’t you in your 50s? Top Gun is definitely not before your time.
