Shams Charania Writes Loving Note as Ex-ESPN Rival Adrian Wojnarowski Enters Hall of Fame

Almost a year ago, when ESPN’s gem, Adrian Wojnarowski, stepped away as the senior insider, his former colleague took over. Shams Charania, the then-insider for The Athletic, soon took over Woj. He turned the broadcasting giant’s studios into his usual playground. But those roots from his days at Yahoo Sports? He still remembers them.

Once Woj’s teammate at Yahoo Sports, Shams Charania now makes headlines as ESPN’s insider rival. But on Thursday, something grand turned the blockbuster news-breaking X handle into a place for tribute. The ever iconic Adrian Wojnarowski is now a Curt Gowdy Hall of Famer.

Therefore, Charania, adding a picture of himself with Woj from their Yahoo days, wrote:

“Huge congrats to @wojespn on the Curt Gowdy Hall of Fame award. You set the example and raised the bar for everyone. I will always cherish our time working together. It was truly an honor learning from you, and all of your advice is appreciated to this day.”
