The Very Funny Colin Murray
I don’t know how many people still watch Around The Horn on ESPN but if you’re one of them, you should stop watching and start listening to Fighting Talk hosted by the very funny Colin Murray. Around The Horn came first but Fighting Talk is definitely the superior show. Sure, I enjoyed it when Max Kellerman hosted ATH but since he left many, many years ago, I lost interest.
On both Around The Horn and Fighting Talk, the host asks guests questions that involve sports and pop culture (more on Fighting Talk) and guests earn points on the content and cleverness of their answers. Points are awarded by the host at his discretion. The guest with the most points wins. Simple.
I’ve been listening to Fighting Talk since Colin Murray started hosting in 2006 so I don’t know how much better or worse the previous hosts were but Murray is hilarious. Sometimes I don’t get what or who the guests or Murray are talking about but his delivery and wit make me laugh. To be honest, all the guests are funny on the show, even Greg Brady. I say that because I’m familiar with Brady from his days doing sports radio on 1130 WDFN in Detroit and he was a bit of a nerd.
If you haven’t already listened to it, check out Fighting Talk. It’s available as a free podcast on iTunes or you can listen to it on the BBC 5 Live website. You can thank me later.
