NFL broadcast thread (née ABC to kill MNF?)

[ice grillin you]

kornheiser jumped the shark like 7-8 years ago...his original radio show before it went national was incredible...once he went to espn he started going downhill big time and now he tries way to hard and is actually very not funny...sometimes painfully so

but even were he still funny he has absolutely no business being on a football broadcast...last night was an embarrassment to the legacy that is MNF

[General_Failure]

So I'm the only one that barely even noticed the announcers last night?

[phattymatty]

this crew is better, much better than the previous Sunday night crew of McGuire, Thiesman, and Patrick

amen.

[ice grillin you]

i noticed them because i was purposely focusing on them and it was pathetic

tirico is ok but hes small time....should be doing mid level college football games

theisman much the same....i dont mind him but he shouldnt be doing anything more than a browns-lions sunday nite game

kornheiser needs to stick to pti...youre not funny and you know less about football than any person in sports


this is monday night football and it deserves better...nbc did a great job in filling the sunday nite slots with michaels madden costas et al....espn went in the opposite direction...es[pecially when you consider their prime time sat nite cfb team is better than their monday nite pro guys

they are having a team of Nessler, Vermeil, and Jaworski do the 2nd MNF game on week 1.  i would take that as the permanent team, i like Nessler alot and Vermeil was always good when he did college.

[Rome]

Agreed, Mo.

definitely

now thats a good team....nessler is smoove as it comes and you have two excellent football guys....

tho if i had my choice there would never be another three man booth again in any sport....exceotion to the rule is herbie and corso on the espn thrusday nite games...those two are more entertaining and funny than kornheiser will ever be and they know football...and this year fowler is in the booth with them....should be good stuff

Sold!

i think the whole 'did joe get tony's joke?' routine is going to be fun to watch.

[Rome]

It would be if Joe had any chance of getting just one of them.

[The BIGSTUD]

Why did they even pick Kornheiser anyway? I'd assume they would want to go with an ex-player. Someone that can add something to the program other than annoyingly witty comments. I'm not looking for comedy relief when watching football.

[phattymatty]

just because someone played football doesn't mean they're not an idiot when it comes to their football opinions.  i'll take kornheiser over theisman anyday. 

[MDS]

its called trying to emulate cossell's mnf teams where people would watch specifically for cossell. it cant hurt to try, considering people arent gonna stop watching football because the announcing team sucks.

[The BIGSTUD]

Theismann is bad, but he's not as bad when he's not with Patrick and Maguire. Kornheiser doesn't add anything to the program. Theismann can at least add some insight when Kornheiser really has nothing to add.

[SunMo]

i'm not looking for comedy relief, but you do need someone entertaining.  i like both Phil Simms and Troy Aikman because they are informative but they are also not boring
