I was lucky to watch this in person the day this aired.

If you're not familiar with the show, Around The Horn (ATH) is basically a discussion/game show program with 4 panelists. The 'host' of this show was one of the panelists, Woody Paige of the Denver Post. Positive points are good, but negative points are bad. (He changed the scoring around just for this episode) Points are based on how strong the arguments are on a certain subject (e.g. A-Rod scandal.) The panelist with the most (or least, in this case) points wins.

Hope you enjoy it!

ATH is great. The Woody/Jay/Reali dynamic pretty much makes the show. I really can't stand Jackie MacMullan. She's just incredibly annoying. I miss Michael Smith.

He is an idiot, that's what makes it good! :lol:

Yeah, I really dislike Ryan. Mariotti is good, Adande is fine by me, don't really have a problem with plaschke, Jackiemac is fine.

Saw the real episode when it aired, pretty funny. :lol:

amen, trademark
amen.

but i agree, the whole paige/mariotti feud keeps the show alive.
can't remember who the old host was, though...

You know what was so crazy? Michael Smith actually came back yesterday!

But then they had MacMullen today. :cry:

Guess it all evened out.
