The last half-hour of the [[ESPN]] network's afternoon block of "journalists yell about sports" shows (along with ''[[Numbers Never Lie]],'' ''[[Dan LeBatard
The show follows a set format of segments.
Line 24:
{{tropelist}}
* [[Ascended Extra]]:
** Reali got his start on this show before replacing Max Kellerman as host of ''Around the Horn''.
Line 46 ⟶ 45:
* [[Crossover]]: Several panelists from ''Around the Horn'' have hosted the show.
** After J.A. Adande won what Reali called "the worst Odds Makers ever," Reali said "Let's go to the lounge!" Adande then said he wanted this win to be added to his ''ATH'' win count.
** A ''[[Sports Nation]]'' Halloween episode involved ''[[Sports Nation]]''{{'}}s set being dressed up to look like the ''PTI'' set. Kornheiser appeared on the show to demand that the ''[[Sports Nation]]''{{'}}s hosts "stop stealing [their] stuff!"
* [[Deadpan Snarker]]: Reali does this a lot during Odds Makers.
* [[Double Entendre]]: The show usually opens with Wilbon mentioning an interesting news story (usually non-sports related) and asks Kornheiser a relative question about it tying into his personal life ("Have YOU ever..."), usually resulting in Kornheiser giving [[Dirty Old Man|an easy double entendre answer]].
Line 52 ⟶ 51:
* [[Fan Nickname]]: "[[Exactly What It Says on the Tin|Heads on Sticks]]" for "Role Play."
* [[Follow the Leader]]: You see those other shows up in the intro? ''All'' of them exist because of the success of ''PTI''. The format has also been used in segments of local and regional sports shows around the U.S.
** And parodies, like [[The Onion]]'s [https://web.archive.org/web/20130621022207/http://www.onionsportsnetwork.com/ Get Out Of My Face.]
* [[Fourth Wall Mail Slot]]: Used in the "Mail Time" segment; the letters originally came from the viewers, but are now made by the producers.
* [[Full Name Ultimatum]]: Whenever Reali appears for the "Odds Maker" segment, he's introduced as "Anthony Joseph [topical nickname] Reali." Sometimes, the topical nickname is long enough to make it an [[Overly Long Name]] gag as well.
Line 83 ⟶ 82:

"And I'm Mike Wilbon. Same time tomorrow, knuckleheads!"
"Good night, Canada!"}}
