Personally, I think they should can the entire team.

 

Is it bad that I didn't know what "MNF" stood for until reading the article?

 

They should have kept the old Sunday Night Team?????

 

I can't stand Joe Theissmann's announcing - you could pair him with anyone and there'd still be no rapport because no one else likes to talk about Joe Theissman like he does.

The list of possible replacements isn't particularly impressive either. Emmitt Smith?

MNF is a mere shadow of its former self.

 

maybe Jaws will be good?

 

yes it is

I'll never forget when he wanted to kiss that reporter lady and said "I couldn't care less about the Jets, i just wannt kiss you"

 

Jaws would be a good replacement. He knows his shit.

Theismann is a blowhard. Like Madden, every player who happens to make a play, or even be close to play, is "one of the best in the league at <fill in the blank>"

 

I believe that was Joe Namath. Although Jaworski and Theismann could also probably care less about the Jets too.

 

you're right. i guess it was too early in the morning for me

 

And lo and behold, Jaws is indeed replacing Theismann...

I like the upgrade. He's got an energy about him that isn't about himself, sort of like a Madden without an ego, and minus 45 breakfasts and 2 lbs of makeup.

 

Unreal. Joe goes and they KEEP Kornholer...

 

Well...it's a start, howabout canning Kornheiser and Tirico as well...? To be honest, why don't they hire Tom Jackson? I always liked his analysis and comments on Primetime.

 

Not until TJ gets some teeth whitening treatment. Dont know if he's a smoker, but he has some of the nastest teeth.

I rather have Joe Buck as the play-by-play guy. But I'm sure he's contracted with Fox...

 

One idiot down, two to go...

 

Tirico is not bad. He and Jaworski would be just fine, IMO. Kornheiser is not the best third man, but he's a quantum leap better than Paul McGuire.

 

Dunno, MNF is just not the same without Michaels, Dierdorf, and Gifford.

 

jaws was on espn radio earlier, and he said he wants to do a lot of x's and o's with his commentating. personally, i think that's a good thing.

 

They had good chemistry.

 

For the love of God, get rid of Paul McGuire too. I've been bitching about from the start.

Michaels, Dierdorf, and Gifford was the dream team

 

 

That's what I was thinking... I can't fucking stand Kornhole.... he makes me almost not even want to listen to MNF.... They need to get Aikman on there... he is by far the best analyst that they have.

 

OH GAWD...WTF, are you serious?

 

You guys are fucking nuts. Dierdorf is a piece of shit and a complete hyprocrite. He's said sooooo many stupid things over the years. The most recent one I can remember is the Chargers/Bengals game where McCree lays the wood on Houshmanzada. And he starts ranting and raving about how it was a cheap shot and the league should fine him and all this other bullshit. And only MINUTES prior, he was talking about the old days and how he had to play dirty and what not

The guy shows favortisim and no one calling a game should do that.

 

heh, I only remember Dierdorf from my adolescent years. Maybe its more of a nostalgia thing. Dierdorf was probably making stupid comments then and I never picked up on it. I understand more about football now than I did then.

<-- Hall of Famer
