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)
