Attention whore?  Or just a regular whore?

Kevin Acee, the Chargers beat writer, is saying that if SD fires AJ Smith then he will end up in STL and will hire Gruden as the HC.

Jason Taylor will retire at the end of the season

Former NFL head of officiating and current FOX analyst Mike Pereira was just getting started when he ripped Jon Gruden on Twitter during Monday night's game.

With more time to think about Gruden's failure to understand NFL rules, Pereira only got angrier.

"[Gruden] was a loudmouth as a coach who constantly disrespected officials and he is a blowhard in the broadcast booth who spouts off when he doesn't know what he is talking about," Pereira wrote in a column for FOXSports.com.

God I hope Gruden takes a HC job so I can turn the volume back on during MNF. I'd occasionally like to hear what Jaws has to say if Gruden would just shut up for 3 milliseconds, but he is nonstop unlistenable.

gruden is a god.....other than the king of queens the best television in the last 25 years has been the gruden one on one johnsons with qb draft picks....must watch tv

[MDS]

so to recap

1. king of queens
2. jon gruden talking to rookie qbs before the draft
?? the wire

[ice grillin you]

it was established like ten years ago that the wire is not tv

SNF is so much better than MNF it's ridiculous. 

[hbionic]

Times eleventy-billion!

MNF almost sucks as much as Thursday night football on the NFL network. Almost as much.

Tirico is bad enough.  The polock makes it worse.

Who is this Gruden fellow?

[MDS]

if you want the short mnf/snf history from the espn book here it is:

the old mnf crew were all espn people, but when they took over mnf, were then labeled as abc people. the people took over the old snf were the in house guys.

so when espn got mnf, and nbc got snf, mark shapiro (idiot former head of espn) went with his "in house" guys for their lone nfl broadcast...even though the mnf guys were better.

so the mnf guys went to nbc, and now they are putting on a 30000x time better broadcast, regardless of the fact that their games are better.

and mike tirico is a funhole.

[reese125]

that was hands down the worst short story ever.

[Sgt PSN]

it was established like ten years ago that the wire is not tv

It's HBO.
