NFL broadcast thread (née ABC to kill MNF?)

I've heard of both of them but am not overly familiar with either since they've mostly done college fb work and I watch very little college ball. Still, there is no way on earth they can be worse Joey Leg and Millen.

Also, Gus Johnson's contract at CBS is up and he may or may not jump to FOX.

ESPN will now carry MNF basically forever after they agreed with the NFL on an 8-year contract extension.

Gruden is awesome and I hope he stays in the booth, unless he's brought in to coach the Birds.

Gruden's okay. His dynamic with Jaws is what makes it good. It seems like they finally found some chemistry in the MNF booth.

Sounds about right, as 1,000 x 0 = ............

Gruden has a limited vocabulary, but his understanding of the game is second to none, and he appeals to both Joe Q. Football and uber-nerds with relative similarity. He's perfect for his job.

ice grillin you · September 08, 2011, 03:14:38 PM

its amazing how many times he predicts exactly what is going to happen before it actually does

youngins like the lil guy are more into entertainment than analysis....not that i dont enjoy some guys who give that value but id much rather have someone who knows the game

PhillyPhanInDC · September 08, 2011, 03:21:45 PM

I like Gruden quite a bit. He's only going to get better as he continues to settle into the nuances of the job. I also get a kick out of how he busts Jaw's balls. He's usually spot on with what is happening on the field, and my only bitch is the lovefest he has with the quarterbacks.

I'll take him over Theisman, I know that much.

PoopyfaceMcGee · September 08, 2011, 03:44:03 PM

I'd much rather have MDS and IGY in the booth than Theismann.

MDS · September 08, 2011, 04:02:15 PM

i know gruden knows the game, but his delivery THIS GUY is awful and irritating

collinsworth is the king right now and thats the barometer
