It's Like the Unholy Demon-Child of Stonehenge and the Loch Ness Monster
Today, one of life's great mysteries was finally solved. No, they didn't discover the cameraman's Bigfoot suit or the elusive alien autopsy evidence, but I finally know why Tony holds a logoed sign in front of his face and whispers "PTI" at the end of each episode of Pardon the Interruption.
I know that by revealing the answer here I am spoiling your sense of curiosity and wonder, like telling you that David Copperfield didn't really walk through the Great Wall of China, but I feel it is my civic duty. At the close of today's episode, after the screen went black, the logo came up on the screen and a female voice whispered "PTI". This is apparently their "closing credits" screen that they never show. So because they never show it, Tony impersonates it by holding up the sign and whispering the letters himself.
As excited as I was to discover the truth, I was also naturally saddened and disappointed that it wasn't something crazier and more elaborate, like a coded message or a communication with a dead relative in the great beyond. Sometimes we are better off letting our imaginations do the explaining...

i take it u're new to watching to show. they used to have the female voice do the closing everytime. but, i guess espn got on them about going overtime, because now they hardly ever have the normal close.
