Default I can't watch MNF

I have to say that product has lost its luster for me. It's a crappy product.

1. Overload of Commercials.
2. Non stop jibber-jabber even during play.
3. A little football.

Do you remember game 7 of the 2003 ALCS? There was so much hype involved in that game because of the Pedro/Roger match up, and the crowd was going nuts... And for the first half inning, the announcers didn't say a word. The only audio they broadcast was the crowd noise and the normal sounds of the game. It was a rare show of good judgment by Fox, and it was wonderful. Unfortunately it only lasted the half inning.

I think most sports announcers are unnecessary and detract from the game, but the MNF crew is worst than most. And MNF is supposed to be the premier show the NFL has to offer. Tirico is good and Jaws is acceptable, but they are both dragged down by Kornheiser, who in intolerable. I like him on PTI, but on MNF he's awful.

Why does MNF feel like they need to have a gimmicky announcer in the booth? (see also, Rush Limbaugh, Dennis Miller)

I find Tony entertaining, plus the guy loves praising the Pats, what can I say.

Also the Dolphins holding the Steelers scoreless, not into the fourth quarter is great.

This announcing crew is awful. I didn't think it was possible to replace the previous crew with one that is probably just as bad.

I agree the games are terribly over-produced...At least there's no guest tonight...

Also, the Sunday Night package with the Flex has gotten the better games.

The only announcer I find flat out annoying is Madden... He talks like he don't know what he's talking about, like he's reading it off a piece a paper or monitor or something... Wasn't he a coach or something because he sounds like a effin idiot? Fire Madden... I don' t mind the announcers on MNF...

I don't mind any of the guys on that crew. In aggregate, and with their mission statement, though, they just never allow any breathing room and open space for thinking and reflection. It's wall to wall chatter, sometimes about non-game issues, and while play is going on.
