“Around the Horn” of ESPN was broadcast for the last time on Friday after a race of almost 23 years.
One of the main contestants in the game program over the years, Tim Cowlishaw, hit ESPN in his final comments on the program.
“I want to thank ESPN for the opportunity that I did not look for and never expected to return in 2002. I would also like to say that while ESPN is currently preparing more towards the hiring of athletes instead of journalists,” Cowlishaw said during the final episode of the program on Friday.

“Around the Horn” consisted of four different journalists that would appear in the program and discuss current sports issues. However, ESPN is moving away from journalists in their shows in favor of old athletes.
Some of the most profile personalities of the network are former athletes such as Pat McAfee, Jason Kelce, Kendrick Perkins and Ryan Clark, among others.

“We had wonderful about 22 years in a program in which I felt the impostor syndrome every time I entered this study. I hope that people in the next show at this time have so much fun and bring so many smiles in the next 22 years. I will tell,” Cowlishaw said.
ESPN has not announced which program that time interval will take.

The ET time of the 5 PM in ESPN consisted of “forgiveness of the interruption” and “Around the Horn”, two of the few remaining programs that presented comments from the media instead of old athletes.
