I like Kornheiser.  For some reason, his being in the booth doesn't bother me at all.  I actually look forward to what he'll bring.

Michaels to NBC with Madden with this move, as he's not even doing basketball anymore. Mike Breen is the new main PBP man. After like 20 years, Michaels is out at Disney.

BTW, the poll on ESPN.com asking if people liked the new MNF team: 53% said no.
Zero hour, Michael. It's the end of the line. I'm the firstborn. I'm sick of playing second fiddle. I'm always third in line for everything. I'm tired of finishing fourth. Being the fifth wheel. There are six things I'm mad about, and I'm taking over.

Tirico isn't the best, but he's better than the rumored Costas and much better than Patrick who was in the spot before him.

This team is definitely an upgrade over what they had, but will it be the best team? I severely doubt it with Theismann there. I don't think it will be bad though. At least it'll be fun to tune in and get some fresh blood to listen to.
Calling it right on the $ since day one.
Just pointing laughing, and living it up while watching the Miami Heat stink it up.

if they were going to take someone who did college for them, i would've preferred either Brad Nessler or Brent Mussberger, they are both better than Tirico.  not that Tirico is bad.

He's mighty fat these days, though.
Anyone but Reid.

The BIGSTUD

I hate Mussberger, but I would've peferred Nessler over Tirico for football too. Nessler and Tirico both suck at doing basketball games. So did Michaels.

I don't know, I don't like his voice. I find it annoying.

They shouldve put Tony with the old SNF team, just so he would eventually crack and make fun of them.

At least he'll still get to tell The Leg how full of shtein he is.

QuoteNFL | NBC confirms Michaels' hiring
Thu, 9 Feb 2006 06:20:00 -0800

Neil Best, of Newsday, reports NBC confirmed many reports broadcaster Al Michaels would join its new Sunday night package as the play-by-play man. Michaels and analyst John Madden will debut on NBC at the Hall of Fame Game Aug. 6, the weekend Madden is inducted into the Hall. NBC will precede its games with a studio show as part of what it is calling "Football Night in America.'' That show will be co-hosted by Bob Costas and Cris Collinsworth.

the fact that an American network is copying anything from Canada makes me sad.

Tirico should stick to golf because he sucks cock as a football announcer.  He sounds like a squeally little bish.

Theismann is a joke.

Kornheiser sounds like McEnroe on crack.  He's fine on PTI because Wilbon is there to smack some sense into him and to cut him off when he starts whining like the Long Island/Queens/New York queer that he is.  On MNF, who is going to shut him off?  Tirico?  Ha!

Worst.

Broadcast.

Team.

Ever.


Here's hoping the Birds only appear once or twice on MNF this year.
