Tony Reali is awesome and i love the ATH show. Back in the day, it was filler space for me til PTI came on but now i just watch only ATH now. Since he took over, the show has grown into a major success. ESPN has taken notice by place Reali and the gang on different shows and projects.

Approve. I like that he makes fun of the sportswriters on his show.

The fact that he's surrounded by Mariotti and Page every single day and hasn't killed an intern is means enough for an approve.

My instinct was to disapprove but i think that's because of the other baffoons on his show. The guy coined the term "willybuns" which, I hope actually pisses Wilbon off.

Approve.

Seems like an okay kid. Not like the typical just-out-of-Syracuse, auditioning-for-a-gig-at-The-Chuckle-Hut idiot ESPN (and the sports media in general) likes to try to foist upon us regularly.
