Tony Reali hosts a fun, irreverent half hour of discussion and debate on sports-related topics called “Around The Horn”. Reali chooses the topics and gives each of the panelists, sports writers from major newspapers, a chance to share their opinion, giving them points based on point-of-view, style, and information. He also has a mute button for each participant which he uses to penalize and direct traffic. At the end of each round, the contestant with the lowest score is eliminated until only one remains. I don't fully understand the shows point system but it seems the panelists get the most points when they crack jokes about the players or the team. For example, on the episode I just watched a woman named Ramona Shelburne was talking about the Philadelphia 76ers and how Ben Simmons won't be playing this season and she stated “ You throw 60 million dollars at a guy and he still say no because he doesn't want anything to do with the process they had going on in Philadelphia. Last year Jamal Crawford got a huge deal from the 76ers and he said I just can't do that I'll take less money to stay in LA then I will to go to Philadelphia” Shelburne then received over 10 points toward her personal score in her small segment while others who just basically talked no jokes really only received around 4 points toward their score.
