“Auth The Horn” of ESPN was released for the last time on Friday after a race of almost 23 years.
One of the main competitors of the television game over the years, Tim Cowlishaw, has made a hit on ESPN in his last comments on the show.
“I would like to thank ESPN for the opportunity that I did not seek and I did not expect to return in 2002. I would also like to say that even if ESPN is currently approaching job athletes instead of journalists,” said Cowlishaw during the last episode of the show on Friday.

“Around The Horn” was made up of four different journalists who appear in the series and discuss current sports subjects. However, ESPN moves away from journalists in its programs in favor of the former athletes.
Some of the most prominent personalities in the network are athletes of former athletes like Pat McAfee, Jason Kelce, Kendrick Perkins and Ryan Clark, among others.

“We spent 22 years on a program where I felt impostor syndrome every time I entered this studio. I hope that the people of the next show of this time niche have fun and bring as many smiles in the next 22 years. I will count,” said Cowlishaw.
ESPN has not announced which show will take this time slot.

The hour and 5 pm on ESPN consisted in “forgive the interruption” and “around the horn”, two of the few remaining programs which presented media comments as opposed to the former athletes.
