Probably that post Yom Kippur anger, damn Jews.

tony is ok. theisman is horrible, my pops just whined to me about him, and he can barely hear anything. and that stupid scorebox in the middle of the screen is annoying. espn really blows. yet, they continue to get record cable ratings, so its not really holdin them back in the cash flow.

as much as i like tony on PTI, i have to admit he is also pretty bad on the show. maybe thats the fault of having to work with thiesman, but as of now they arent working. and talking too much? i could have counted 3-5 awkward silent moments when tony had no corny joke to make and thiesman was wiping his mouth from performing fallatio on favre.

jaws, vermeil, and a play by play guy would work.

they are really bad...espn just doesn't have it's act together yet.  i've seen more than 1 time when they put a graphic on the screen that made no sense.

something like..."PLAYER NAME AAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGG"...was on the screen for a couple seconds last night.

haha I saw that too, it was under McNabb, I thought for a second they were trying to be clever by implying that he was frustrated.

That happened during the Skins-Vikes game too.

Another game they were doing they put up a generic player information template that had no picture, no height/weight and no college.

And they still have that stupid goddamn scoreboard in the middle of the effing screen.

[QB Eagles]

The AAAAAAAAGGGGGGGG thing is a generic box that someone accidentally put up to the screen without putting information in it. I think I've seen it at least three times on Monday Night broadcasts. It always disappears quickly.

I saw that too. I thought I was seeing things.

I had the sound off and thought it was part of some bit about how he played in the first half.

[ice grillin you]

i thought it was the sound buck makes when one of his knees blows up

As others have mentioned, those inadvertent displays of bad graphics have been going on since MNF went to ESPN.  I've noticed them in every game.  It's an amateur operation they're running, at best.  Talking over the play, putting up bad graphics, etc.

And they don't have to do any better because people will keep watching.

I thought the same thing.  They also showed it once after the Packers messed something up.  May not be a bad thing, after a player screws up cue "AAAAAGGGGGGG".

The same thing happened on the last MNF game. If you're familiar with YTMND.com, someone edited the clip of that error with a scene from the "Holy Grail" where "aaaaaargh" is written on the cave wall.

True.  I forget that most people who watch MNF are casual fans, not obsessives like us winners.
