Somebody actually counted the "points" Jay Mariotti and Woody Paige "accumulated" in a fake contest of skill, arbitrated by Tony Reali, and then published it on Wikipedia.

Yeah, it's called being an intern or research assistant on ATH.
Wins, not points. And they show the number of wins for the winner of each show. So yeah, not hard to tabulate into a simple form on Wikipedia.
And Mr. Tony is funny. He knows funny.

Yelling is funny. Falsetto rage is funny.

ATH is not a yelling show in the vein of First Take or SportsNation, for sure, but it is in no way a better show than PTI. Although you are right about the silly "skits" at times. But they always have smart opinions and back them up, whichever side they are on, and they often are on opposite sides but don't get pissy about it. And they almost always have a good guest for the 5-minute interview segment.
I think I just don't like ATH because of the panels more than the format. And I do really like Reali. There is rarely more than two people on ATH that I can tolerate at one time. Though I do watch more than I did when Marriotti was a regular.

I agree with all of this. ATH isn't my favorite thing, and I realized I slagged it a bit earlier in this thread, but I do think it's the best of the yelly-shouty shows. Like, they do have some good debates from time to time, it's just that you have to deal with a lot of Woody Paige being ridiculous to get to it. And I think Reali did do a good job as the hall monitor, and rewarding the better guys with wins. (I'm sure it's compiled somewhere on the web, but I think J.A. and Bob Ryan won more than the Mariottis and Paiges of the world.)

Not even close to right...Mariotti/Paige have a combined 800.5 wins. Cowlishaw, Plaschke and Adande have 883. So the goofballs win.

Try sorting it by their winning percentage.

Yeah, seriously. Wins are not a good barometer of how good a shouting head is. Amirite?!
