Comparisons To Other ESPN Talk Shows
The show was similar in format to ESPN's other afternoon sports talk programs Jim Rome Is Burning, Around the Horn, and Pardon the Interruption.
What made the show different from others was its use of two panelists who talk about topics without any scoring system (as on Horn) or set amount of time given to a topic (PTI). Also, there are no "theme" segments or interviews with athletes and celebrities (several of the other shows), nor do either of the panelists face "elimination" at the end of a segment (also a feature of Horn).

Famous quotes containing the words comparisons, talk and/or shows:
“Decade after decade, artists came to paint the light of Provincetown, and comparisons were made to the lagoons of Venice and the marshes of Holland, but then the summer ended and most of the painters left, and the long dingy undergarment of the gray New England winter, gray as the spirit of my mood, came down to visit.”
—Norman Mailer (b. 1923)
“His talk was like a spring, which runs
With rapid change from rocks to roses:
It slipped from politics to puns,
It passed from Mahomet to Moses;
Beginning with the laws which keep
The planets in their radiant courses,
And ending with some precept deep
For dressing eels, or shoeing horses.”
—Winthrop Mackworth Praed (1802–1839)
“That which shows God in me, fortifies me. That which shows God out of me, makes me a wart and a wen.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
