I used to love PTI but Michael Wilbon is now an angry man who shouts over Tony and gets irate on almost every subject. I wonder if he is trying to copy Stephen A. Wilbon comes across as going through a life crisis. I do not find his thoughts very insightful whereas Tony usually is reasoned and calm when expressing his opinions.

View Morethis show is scripted. the opinions are not real. the writers write it, the actors say it. if you want to hear legitimate sports discussion, get away from espn and hit up the old fashioned am/fm radio, you can find honest and much more detailed analysis there. nothing more needs to be said, so in response the the ten lines of text requirement, i will just repeat myself. this show is scripted. the opinions are not real. the writers write it, the actors say it. if you want to hear legitimate sports discussion, get away from espn and hit up the old fashioned am/fm radio, you can find honest and much more detailed analysis there.
... View MoreWhat else needs to be said? There's "PTI" and then there are the rest. I've not missed this show in four years-I refer to Mike and Tony when discussing sports topics as if I know them personally. Watch PTI once and you will too. I also love the fact that the show features a Jewish man, a black man, and an Italian man-and that Michelle Tafoya, when she's been a guest, has demonstrated that the woman can hold there own with the men. But there's nothing like Mike and Tony, because of the fact that the show is an outgrowth of their 20 plus year friendship.Even though he gets on my nerves, when Dan Lebartard fills in it's quite interesting. I do miss Steven A. Smith. Even if you're not a sports fan, you'll love PTI. PTI-The Best!
... View MorePTI or Pardon the Interruption has become an awful show. Simply this is due to the main panelists Tony Kornhieser and Mike Wilbon. Both are rather awful. In fact it amazes that this show continues to be on the air daily and gets decent ratings. For a much more enjoyable show try "Around the Horn," this is a similar type of show with some format differences. But Around the Horn is enjoyable3 because of the diverse personalities and the better format. I continue to watch "Around the Horn," but have stopped watching or recording "Pardon the Interruption." BTW: If you like to be insulted and called a knucklehead by Tony Kornheiser right off the top of the show you will like PTI. Kornheiser is simply awful and Wilbon is right behind that.
