Yeah KG and Sager did that for like a decade. It was great. Deadspin found a bunch of them.

Sad as I am that Sager died, I can't be the only one curious as to what his burial suit will look like.

e - I also feel like KG needs to rip on the suit during Sager's wake for old times' sake.

It's a good idea because the previous channel ruled but the branding of it sucked rear end.

As I understand it, many of the contracts in the US for these sports are tied in with the Olympics so they have a wealth of poo poo they already have rights to without a significant place to showcase it.

Also NBC somehow manages to sell ads for stations with no audience so they can better take a risk on a small station.

Bill Burr had some of the funniest bits. Like he was comparing how Michael Douglas was walking on stage on an awards show to Montiana leading a drive in the Super Bowl. Normally when a guy like Simmons is doing it? it's hokie and lame.

Burr? Hilarious. Also Bill Burr doesn't constantly whine about boston sports on his podcast all the time.

Ol' Billy Baker boy is funny as hell but I still fast forward through the Boston homerism and his byzantine college sports allegiances

What's the context for this? Did Garnett just lose a tough game? Does he just always deadpan his smack talk? I was trying to find the humor but it just seemed mean. :(

I didn't see a problem with it. Seems like joking around between friends, or at least friendly acquaintances. Sager seemed like a guy with a good sense of humor and thought it was funny.

I could be totally off base and maybe Sager was pissed afterwards and/or KG was being a dick, but it didn't appear to be that way to me.

And o/t but I would watch the loving poo poo out of an Olympics channel.

It was sort of a tradition to hate on Sagers suit. KG was one of Sagers best pals and they joke around in every interview. KG was iirc the very first person to call Sager when he heard the news and sent him a ton of flowers as a get well present. I think one of the reasons it might have come off mean is if you haven't watched the NBA much but watch a lot of football where it is so sanitized that there is no personality. Craig was probably the most beloved person in the NBA and KG is also a legendary trash talker.

That suit was real bad though.

Don Cherry without question. Craig Sager wore suits that no one in their right mind could pull off. The dude carried himself with such swagger about his wardrobe that he could actually make most of them work.

holy poo poo look who's back :stare:

Woody Paige and Jay loving Mariotti are going to start a podcast on January 3

quote:

“Love the name of the show — and not just because I came up with it,” Mariotti said in an official release. “It means there are no filters, no mute buttons, no PC police, just honest and smart sports discussions in the current climate of fake news, trashy websites and corporate sanitizing. This is going to be a blast, going at it with Woody again. We were drawing about a million viewers some afternoons on ATH. Someone was watching, apparently.”

He didn't know who pft was and took the bait basically, as in the same thing pftcommenter always does set him off. Then Mariotta tried to pull some 'I'm important and you're a dumb blogger' thing when everyone else on twitter started making fun of him from what I can tell.

It was definitely the type of defense where he would have played the "I have more followers than you" except...well. Yeah.

e: Oh unless things have been deleted Mariotti just called him out for no reason and then someone ran his own bad tweets about bloggers back at him? I don't know.

Yeah they didn't really get into it. He just tweeted something like "Who is PFTCommenter and why is he afraid to use his real name?" and everyone made fun of him. So basically every Mariotti tweet.

Jay Mariotti really hates "bloggers," despite him quickly becoming one.

He hates them almost as much as he hates not beating his wife.

He also already has a "podcast" on his site with literally dozens of listens.

I feel so dirty for admitting this but I actually enjoy watching Around the Horn and I cannot adequately explain why. I guess I just enjoy Tony Reali? he seems to have the only good sports opinions at ESPN other than Lebatard.

Around the Horn's theme is currently performed by my favorite band, so for that reason alone it's cool in my book.

This is the appropriate reason to watch ATH.

When Realli mutes someone who's just getting going about how Matthew Dellavadova is better than LeBron James and they get all disgusted is the best.
