ESPN’s “Around The Horn” was sent to last time Friday after a nearly 23-year-old race.
One of the most important participants in the game in the years, Tim Cowlishaw, took a ironing on ESPN in his last comments on the show.
“I would like to thank ESPN for the opportunity I did not seek and never expected to come back in 2002. I would also like to say that while ESPN is currently more ready to hire athletes instead of journalists,” Cowlishaw said during the show’s last episode on Friday.

“Around Hornet” consisted of four different journalists who would appear on the show and discuss current sports topics. However, ESPN moves away from journalists on his shows in favor of former athletes.
Some of the network’s highest profiled personalities are former athletes such as Pat McAfee, Jason Kelce, Kendrick Perkins and Ryan Clark, among others.

“We had a wonderful 22 years on a show where I felt Imposter -Syndrome every time I went into this studio. I hope people on the next show in this schedule have just as fun and bring so many smiles over the next 22 years. I count,” Cowlishaw said.
ESPN has not announced which show will take that time game.
