Reposted on: 8.11.09 0823.52 | I don't think i've seen a thread about this new show yet. Which i thought I would after the wildy popular PTI. But here it goes.
Has anybody seen this show yet? I kind of like it, the Max Kellerman and Woody Paige feud is good, and I would love to be in Max's shoes and be able to mute any of the reporters that I wanted. Also I've always liked Bob Ryan. This show is pretty much a daily Sports Reporters show, only it's like a competitive thing with points. The parting shots, are usually the best part of the show, like Sports Reporters. My only two gripes are that it's been the same 5 guys so far, I think they should get more people from other places. And also I can't stand Max's blatant biasedness towards the Yankees.
It's not as good as PTI, but it's a nice little warmup to PTI. | Promote this thread! |             | Simba

Reposted on: 8.11.09 0859.04 | | I've only seen one episode and I thought it was okay. I think it's going to take me a little time to warm up to Max Kellerman, though. Still, it's a better option than Uscripted or Jay Mohr. | tomvejada

Reposted on: 8.11.09 1737.42 | | I like Max on boxing, but I can't really warm up to him on this show. Nuke the guy from L.A., leave Woody and Ryan and the guy from Chicago, and just make it a hybrid Sports Reporters/PTI without the points and Max's Yankee bias. | Teppan-Yaki

Reposted on: 8.11.09 1752.00 | The problem with AtH is that too many cooks spoil the soup. By the way, Jay Mariotti is the Sun-Times columnist from Chicago. I usually hate his articles 95% of the time.
PTI works, and so spin-offs are spawned. Usually, they don't work. Joanie Loves Chachi, anyone? | redsoxnation

Actually, compared to that mirroring season of Happy Days with Flip and Casey, Joanie Loves Chachi doesn't look bad. | odessasteps

This pretty much sums up what I would write.
There was "lots of tinkering" going on with ATH when I visited the PTI set last week.
It just looks too much like a game show for my taste. | drjayphd

That doesn't say much, ya know. 
I have yet to see it... never around a TV at 5:00. Maybe over Thanksgiving break... should I make a point to watch it? | spf

Reposted on: 8.11.09 2232.40 | | This show wouldn't be so bad, except for the fact that Jay Mariotti is on the show, and I think it's possible that Mariotti might just be the Antichrist. He has the incredible ability to hammer on a point for months, and then if God forbid one of the Chicago teams follows his advice, he then spends months berating them for it a year or two later. He is an ass-clown, and his being on a show is an easy way to keep me away from it. | Iron Mike Sharpe
