Editor’s year-end picks: Celebrating 10 years of PTI, hailing CrossFit Games

Editor’s note: As 2012 approaches, Front Row will revisit a few of our most popular posts from our first nine months of existence — just in case you missed them the first time.

In October, Front Row celebrated the 10th birthday of Pardon the Interruption with a Podcast interview with Matt Kelliher, the show’s producer. Kelliher discussed the show’s beginnings, the use of the then-innovative “rundown” bar, and the relationship between co-hosts Tony Kornheiser and Mike Wilbon. Listen to the Front & Center Podcast interview conducted in October below:

In the video above, Kornheiser and Wilbon celebrated the 10th birthday milestone with a very special guest.

In the video below, we share some of the highlights from that first PTI show which aired on Oct. 22, 2001.

ESPN has several employees who are devotees of CrossFit training, and the network aired several episodes of the 2011 Reebok CrossFit Games.

Our October post regarding the fitness craze was also one of Front Row’s most popular.

The video below highlights the 2011 Reebok CrossFit Games marathon which airs Jan. 1, 2012 beginning at 1 p.m. ET on ESPN2.
