What @woodypaige meant to Around The Horn’s watchability in the early days, @GlobeBobRyan meant as much to the show’s credibility. No need to Google any historical sports fact when Bob was on the show. (But he wasn’t above delivering a “pfffft” when he disagreed with something.)
The final Around The Horn today after 22 1/2 years. I want to salute first Max Kellerman and especially Tony Reali for their fantastic work handling the hardest hosting job in all of television. It’s been my honor and privilege to be there since Day 1.

It’s easier to come to grips with the end of @AroundtheHorn than it is to imagine the show continuing without @TonyReali . No, he wasn’t the original host but he infused the show with his persona while simultaneously elevating the panelists.
all the kind things people will say about tony are legit, but don't lose sight of the fact that i don't think anyone at espn was better at his job than tony. entirely irreplaceable. they truly made one of those guys, and i'm truly proud to know him.

And for anyone wondering the origin of the verb "Vanderjagted" I used to describe Tim Hardaway Jr.'s last shot attempt in the Good Word podcast:
JJ Redick made a calculated decision not to sit LeBron or Luka to start the fourth… and rolled snake eyes. From today’s episode with guest @jadande

Seeing so many posts about Autism, I decided to share a bit about my experience as a father and how a wrestler I didn't necessarily root for helped me out. Wrote this off the dome https://t.co/VAuRHBs314

Now is as good a time as any to remind everyone that the Negro Leagues Baseball Museum in Kansas City (@NLBMuseumKC) exists to tell a deeply important American story -- one that is ultimately about triumph. Our history, good and bad, is all we have. Learning it is our duty.
