RIP Around The Horn

[Songbird]

I miss the SportsCenter reruns. And BodyShaping.

Bring Gilad back.

We laugh, but for a brief moment poker ran sports television.

I was working at ESPN during that period when a ESPN official (a name who shows up now and then on these threads) told me, “we’re enjoying this while we can. As soon as an Asian guy wins it, we’re done.” When is the last time you saw WSOP anywhere?

Kellerman is far more accomplished than Reali.

For a while in the early 80s, the America’s Cup got built up like it was Ali-Frazier. And workaday PGA tournaments solved the problem of what to show on Thursdays and Fridays for a huge chunk of the year.

I just miss random ass NFL Films magazine shows. Art Donovan was a folk hero of my generation for that alone.

I was alarmed to see last Super Bowl that ESPN doesn’t even run the NFL Films Super Bowl recaps on ESPN2. That used to just be on in the background for 10 hours that weekend.

Bring back the fitness block on ESPN2.

Bring back random paid-for athletic events from 1 pm to 4 pm weekdays on both of them. Looking at you, PRCA rodeo, cheerleading and AQHA America’s Horse.

Hell, let’s go all the way: Bring back the Great Outdoor Games.

Artie was the Buddy Hackett of sports TV. Always left us laughing.

"SQUAT?? ... OK, if you insist."

On SJTV every day at 6.

I actually learned something tonight while watching that clip, so I guess I'll just have to watch it every day now.

Bring back Kiana Tom.

I had to look her up. She seems nice.

He was on Letterman a lot.
