Excellent but underrated film

Admirable film.

In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.

This story has more twists and turns than a second-rate soap opera.

Around the Horn is pretty much proof the sportswriters have no business passing themselves off as experts. Usually, this show's panelists are unbearable to watch. Most of the time they know almost nothing about the subject they're taking a stand on and come off as arrogant fools. The general sense of arrogance is the biggest turnoff. These guys love to hear themselves talk, and they don't care about giving any actual insights to the topics they talk about. The exceptions, as someone mentioned, are JA Adande, Michael Smith, and Tim Cowlishaw. The show is interesting to watch when they're on.If you want an entertaining sports talk show, wait the half hour until this is over and watch PTI. Wilbon and Kornheiser are smart, funny, and never try to pass themselves off as geniuses. Don't bother with this crap.3/10, because the show is occasionally good when the aforementioned writers are on.

this show is very fun to watch. the humor that all of the sports writers bring is very funny, not to mention the good-humored rivalry. and you catch up on the latest sports news and hear the good, bad and ugly of every sports situation. you have the loud mouths, the smart asses and the "serious" sports junkie. so there is a personality available to every kind of fan. most topics are so up-to-date that local sports pages haven't even been printed yet. sports fans of all ages can watch and enjoy this show without feeling overwhelmed by all of the sports jargon. not to mention they cover all sports (granted most of the time they talk about whatever sport is in season, but that is just a given). bottom line-nothing and no one is off limits for this show.

I come home every day, grab some Cheese Nips and a Coke, and sit down and watch Around the Horn. It is extremely humorous, yet it still gets to the point like no other sports show except Pardon the Interruption. I truly believe that ESPN has struck gold with Max Kellerman and company, because this show is simply magnificent as far as 30-minute television goes.

I just saw where ESPN's other "entertainment show" had several people commenting on it and I didn't want this one to feel slighted in the least. When ESPN announced they were debuting some new shows in 2002, I like many hard-core ESPN and sports fanatics, were skeptical to say the least. My skepticism turned to apathy when I heard Max Kellerman would be the host. From what I knew of Max, he would turn up every time a major bout took place in the world of boxing (and he is a regular on Friday Night Fights on ESPN), and I found him extremely annoying. Some may still after viewing the show, but I have done a 180 turn on Max. He is wonderful in his position as the host as he keeps it moving and manages to be funny and fresh as well. What really makes the show, however, is the panelists, who are journalist for major newspapers around the country. It is enlightening to get views on sports from different coasts and time zones from the men who cover it daily. After experimenting with several different panelists, they seem to have found 4 regulars and they are Woody Paige(Denver Post), Jay Mariotti(Chicago Sun-Times),Bill Plascke(Los Angeles Times),and Bob Ryan(Boston Globe). Michael Holley(Boston Globe),Kevin Blackistone(Dallas Morning News),J.A. Adande(Los Angeles Times),and Michael Smith(Boston Globe) also appear at times. Each one has their own characteristics and traits that make them unique. Woody's humor and mispronouncing of words make me smile after a long day, and Jay Mariotti is almost always right on the money in my opinion. These guys argue or debate topics in the sports and entertainment worlds and garner points for good answers,and are muted for bad ones. Guys are elimintated until a one-on-one showdown determines a winner, who in turn gets 15 seconds of face time to say whatever he likes. But after watching one time, you'll see the points system isn't important. Well, I've said enough I guess but I really wonder why ESPN didn't think of this show sooner. I know for a fact it is a hit among college males and people of the 18-49 demographic. Several people I talk to are regular viewers and can't miss a day. The only thing that sucks is that ESPN continues to air these golf tournaments that 90% of the people could care less about and that causes this show to be preempted at times. All in all folks if you are a fan of sports or missed the previous days stories regarding not only sports,but music,tv,and movies as well,then this is the show for you. And remember, "it's out of bounds where it's all in-bounds".Woody Paige: Why do always have to be the one to straighten you guys out?
