Is This the End A Fan Favorite Show? Major Changes at ESPN Could Mean the Show’s Final Countdown!
For over 20 years, ‘Around the Horn’ has been a cornerstone of sports debate and analysis, delighting fans with its lively discussions and sharp insights. But recent reports suggest that this beloved show might be nearing its end.
According to the New York Post, there are rumors swirling that ‘Around the Horn’ could be pulled off the air before the start of the 2025 NFL season. While the exact reasons for this potential move haven’t been disclosed, and ESPN has remained tight-lipped on the matter, the speculation has certainly got fans talking.
Currently hosted by Tony Reali, who took over from Max Kellerman in 2004, ‘Around the Horn’ features a rotating panel of sports analysts who engage in spirited debates on a wide range of topics. The show’s format, where panelists earn points for their arguments, has kept viewers engaged and coming back for more. Over the years, sports personalities like Bob Ryan, Tim Cowlishaw, Jay Mariotti, Mina Kimes, Woody Paige, J.A. Adande, Pablo Torre, Frank Isola, Jemele Hill, and Michael Smith have all made their mark on the show.
The potential cancellation comes at a time when ESPN is undergoing significant changes, including the departure of several high-profile figures. This period of transition has raised questions about the future of various programs, including ‘Around the Horn.’
Fans are now left wondering if this iconic show will continue to be a part of their sports routine or if they’ll need to say goodbye to one of their favorite platforms for sports debate. The show’s distinctive style and the voices of its regular panelists have made it a staple in sports media, and its possible disappearance would certainly be felt by its loyal audience.
As of now, there’s no official word from ESPN about the show’s fate, but one thing is clear: the future of ‘Around the Horn’ is up in the air. Fans will have to stay tuned for any updates and hope for a resolution that keeps the show’s unique brand of sports analysis alive and well.
