I love Michael to death, but I just can’t listen to that voice anymore. The needless shouting and worsening hoarseness has become unbearable

Mike and Tony are still excellent. And Frank is pretty good. Pablo Torre is insufferable. I refuse to listen or watch any episode with him. When will ESPN learn?

Love these two together!

I love PTI!! I do not like Pablo filling in, however. He doesn’t want to be there!!! The episode on Friday was rife with his complaints about the show. I would imagine thousands of sports talkers like Pablo would kill to be given this opportunity and he’s treating it as a punishment. Send him back to Lebatard.

Love Tony and Mike and their witty takes on all things sports, started listening 30 yrs ago. However recently the ads are SOOO much louder than the broadcast, I can’t listen to them at my favorite time, before bed—It’s like an alarm goes off every 7 minutes! This only happened recently—please go back!

Why is the audio level so bad!! You can’t hear the guys talking and the commercials blow your ears off.

You 2 are a Legendary Institution when it comes to TV Sports Media. A Trailblazer for sure! Please speak out and what we just watched in the Women’s Boxing I. The Olympics. We NEED to SPEAK UP! That looked like Domestic Violence to me and yet…. the Mainstream Media is silent. Do the right thing Fellas! Respect! 💯🇺🇸

Love Tony but Wilbon is such a narcissist. Every topic has to somehow link back to someone he knows, likes, or has some connection to Chicago. Today, he linked the Olympic gymnastics team to the Cubs! I enjoyed it but now I’m done.

He’s just as aggressive/ angry/nonsensical. Makes no sense.

Tony and Michael.Their curmudgeonly chemistry is the best banter available.No disrespect to the other hosts but..I want Tony and Mike!Long live (and host)

“I can, and I just did, and I’ll say it again”. That my friends, is exactly why we love Tony

Great show! Move to Fox. Woke ESPN is a joke.

Anyone else out there tired of only getting Tony and Mike three out of five days a week? Talk about phoning it in. And while we are on the subject, can we mix up the guest hosts just a bit? I like Fill-in Frank and Ivy League gasbag Pablo as much as the next guy, but how about expanding our horizons a smidge? Oh well. Anyone is better than Mina Kimes I guess. I think I just ensured that this review does not get published with that last sentence.

Who are you that is reading through the reviews going, gee, let me see what all these people think to decide whether or not I want to give this a shot? Have you not heard of PTI before? Do you not know exactly what it is? Are you 7 years old perhaps and your parents don’t let you watch TV? Or maybe you are not a sports fan? In that case, this show is not for you. I suppose if you’re not from America but are looking for the number one sports talk show that will give you a quick rundown of the big topics in sports (as viewed from the US), then sure, maybe you need a review. Well, look no further. You found it. It’s better if you can actually watch the TV show but honestly I have been getting by with just the audio for years now it’s still pretty good.

This is my favorite show of all-time. Love the chemistry between you two. What can I say, something's are meant to be perfect and that's you two. Keep it up please. BUT TURN UP THE SOUND!!!!!!

I’ve been watching and, subsequently, listening to these two for 19 years now. For a very long time, they were maybe not always insightful on certain topics, but they were at least sharp enough to be able to understand things, even when they disagreed with them. But recently, they have gotten very, very stuck in their attitudes, and unwilling to admit that they can be wrong. They have become a pair of brick walls. For instance, as I type this, they just published an episode where they begin by covering the impending release of Russell Wilson from the Broncos. Wilbon, needing to get his digs in against the “analytics people”(who don’t make acquisition decisions, which you would think a guy covering sports since the 1970s would understand by now, but we can’t let that get in the way of a narrative!), starts mocking the “analytics” that told the Broncos to trade for him, before then… telling us Wilson actually “didn’t play badly” and blaming his performance on the rest of the team. Which… if that’s true, then the “analytics” boogeyman he hates so much did a decent job, right? He even advocates for Wilson getting another starting job! And this is fresh off the intro to the show, so it’s not like he’s had time to have his attention waver. He just leans on his ignorant narratives and says the same pointless nonsense every day(well, every day that he shows up, which is like 2/3 days?). I could get a list of the show topics 20 minutes before it was recorded, and by the time he starts to talk, I could tell you exactly what he’s going to say the entire show, minus his occasional anecdotes from 30+ year old encounters with coaches and executives, which he just uses as a vehicle to complain more about young players in every sport, as usual. Kornheiser at least occasionally seems like he’s trying, but winds up looking lost more often than not if you watch the video feed or pay attention to his pauses. It’s sad to see them aging like this.

This podcast has degraded to the point of no return. The hosts are terrible and the content is horrible. These guys are out of touch and are too old to keep up with today’s sports stuff. They should go babysit their grandkids instead of wasting others’ time. There’s is no integrity and honesty with these guys and they continue to sugarcoat things. Stay clear of this podcast and look for something honest and reliable.

I have listened for years. Corporate bought. Do we really believe they watch women’s sports. Yeah right. Deep down, they are old school.

The guys continue to be the excellent grumpy old men we’ve come to know and love, and the sound mix from show to the commercials has improved a lot! Now if we can just get them to stop running that AT&T 5G helmet ad we’ll really be in business. Honestly it’s been running on this show for so long it makes me cringe at the mere mention of AT&T now.

Someone please tell Wilbon to stop yelling about men’s b-ball and “one and done.” This shows he has not been paying attention for several years. Look at the rosters. Look at how NIL is keeping almost everyone around longer and longer—some high profile one and dones, but very small numbers.

Been on forever That doesn’t happen if these guys are bums and the show isn’t any good. Quick, concise, entertaining… Enough said!! Thank you gentlemen for decades of entertainment and news!

Brian Wyndhorst is clearly a gay boy. I’m sick of listening to him talk about how hot he thinks basketball players are.

Hey this is an old episode. Where is Mich vs UW?

you put out the wrong episode today.

Four stars because whoever is responsible for uploading this podcast is often asleep at the wheel. Sometimes episodes just cut off in the middle, while others are posted with totally wrong dates. The upload dated 1/9/24 was an older episode from mid-January 2023. Inexcusable carelessness. I struggle to think of any other podcasts that suffers from so many basic technical issues. Ruins the experience despite the amazing regular hosts.

Make it stop!!!!!!

Love the show, going to lose my mind if I have to hear about whatever the Gallaudet Bisons are. Incredibly annoying stupid commercial on wayyyyyyyy too much.

WILL THEY FIND A HOME, SPONSORED BY GEICO! Blows out my ears at the end of every podcast unless I can fast-forward in time. I really don’t need to hear about the futuristic AT&T helmet every single day for two minutes, either. That’s another instant skip.

Come on, Wilbon. You don’t have to be an elder to know about Kitty Hawk and don’t care about TikTok.

OMG STOP WITH THE HELMET AD!!!! I hate AT&T now!!

The ads are blowing my ear drums. I love this podcast but I’m deleting it for a month to see if they fix it. They are seriously 10 levels louder than thé regular podcast. It seems to only be thé Geico ads. They are causing hearing damage.

Love the pod but the BLASTING of the ads is enough for me to stop subscribing. Why does anyone think that helps the show or the advertiser? It only sours the listener on both.

I love Tony and Mike but spend some cash on sound equipment because everything is loud and that Geico commercial is the worst but otherwise it’s good

I love Tony and Mike, but I will unsubscribe if you don’t get rid of the speaker-blowing, eardrum-splitting Geico commercial. Either that or I will sue for damages. You are literally affecting my health. TURN THE VOLUME DOWN ON THE COMMERCIALS!

The mix has the show volume low and the ad volume level super high - like damaging your ears high. Use the mixer to adjust the volume levels even, especially the ad at the end of the podcast after the show ends. It is deafening.

Love PTI, but to whom it may concern… Please, please, please turn down the volume of the commercials. It is significantly louder then the show and it is awfully starting and hurt my ears when the commercials come on. Please just make it the same volume.

Please keep the advertisement sound level the same as the show. It is absolutely annoying, and makes me skip the ads even faster because the loud sound is so jarring. Love the show- and have been watching since it started. Please change the ad volume.

This show and my life work in sync. Everyday on my way home, I religiously listen to Tony and Wilbon such that when I don’t, I feel empty inside. Sure, nothing is perfect, like the occasional distracting yelling or entire segments devoted to golf, but this podcast is one of the only constants in my busy, chaotic life. Thanks to you knuckleheads for providing history that predates me, good information, and some fun to go along with it.

I have been watching/listening to this show since it started. It’s part of my evening routine. Grab a beer. Sit on porch and play today’s episode. Enjoy it while u can!

Best of ESPN & sports media

Used to love this show and would catch every episode on TV. Lately it seems like every headline is biased and their takes are hypocritical based on who the subject is. Deion mentions culture isn’t important and Michael slurps that up… Booger mentions how important culture is to a team like the Lions and Michael is agreeing with him head over heels. I get having an opinion and having one differing than mine is refreshing and provides perspective… but don’t be so quick to flip flop when it comes to your stance on something just to stay in someone’s good graces.

I used to LOVE this show. Listened or watched everyday for years. This past year or two though I find Wilbon is becoming more and more insufferable. Every episode he just yells constantly, continuously calls people stupid, and is generally always under the assumption he’s 100% correct on every argument. He also allllllllllways introduces race. Like ALWAYS. It’s gotten really annoying. I’ve found myself listening less and now I really don’t listen at all.

Mike and Tony are great and deserve 5 stars but the production quality of this podcast is very inconsistent. Sometimes an entirely wrong show will be posted. Random days are delayed or missed. Ads are very loud. It’s clear the podcast format is very much an afterthought for this show.

This is one of the best sports show out there. Look forward to it everyday. Tony and Wilson are a perfect match.

LOVE Tony and Mike together. The technical part of this is the challenge. There sometimes two of the exact same segment uploaded, yesterday I downloaded PTI and got Around the Horn, sometimes the show is cut off before it actually ends, sometimes it actually starts a few seconds after they have started talking, and sometimes the sound equalizing is way off.

I love the show and always have, with Wilson’s wisdom and Tony’s humor it makes the perfect show if it weren’t for the sub-par choice of topics, the good topics are enjoyable but when they talk about someone’s birthday who stopped playing 20 years ago and barely made the hall of fame it gets a little annoying, but overall, it’s a great show

He is an arrogant and despicable person. He’d be nothing without Tony and all the others who have carried him to the place he is today.

Wilbon should retire, LeBron should play another year. #CancelMichaelWilbon

Two old men, yelling about how anything not old is bad.

It’s the off-season. You don’t need to spend 1/3 of every show on dumb off-season topics. There are more relevant sporting events going on now…
