"Joe Theismann is out as a "Monday Night Football" analyst after one season, a person familiar with the decision said yesterday."

This better be true.

I like this too: "Theismann is expected to be offered another job at the network." (ESPN)

My first nightmare thought was that he'd get a job announcing on NFL network.

Now they just need to get rid of the other two guys and the producer.

Kornheiser I can stand, Joey Sunshine is just a meathead though... no real comment on Michaels. Iffy...

Kornheiser's okay, kind of funny sometimes. He says the word "underpants" a lot, and that's a funny word when a grown man says it on television.

I like Kornheiser.

I LOATHE Theismann.

I love Jaws.

Briing on the season!

i like theismann . t cornhole is great on pti but is pathetic on mnf.i also think three guys in the booth is to many .i tune in to watch football not to hear those clowns flap there gums all night .

 

[patsfaninpa]

Great news. He was very,very,very,very,very aggitating!

 

[WhiZa]

I'm not sure what to think about Kornheiser and Jaws together. Since it's the only game on I will watch no matter what.

i like theismann .corhole is great on pti but is pathetic on mnf.three guys in the booth is far to many anyway .

Agree that Kornheiser is better on TV, and probably best on radio. What these guys don't seem to realize is that when we watch them on TV/listen on radio, we WANT to be entertained by them. When they are broadcasting, we are there to watch the game and their job is just to facilitate that, not to entertain!

Thank god Espn is finally waking up.. First Irvin, then Thiesman, please can it be we could get rid of Sean Sailsberry..

This is excellent (and overdue) news!.

Isaac - just curious how you first came across this story in a Honolulu newspaper of all places.

kornheiser sucks worse than joe. atleast joe knows what a fotball is!!!:singing: :singing: :singing:

Theisman said some stupid stuff but I never minded him that much. What bothered me the most is the knee-jerk, blanket statements he would make. I was watching a Cowboys-Rams game and Theisman says definitively "refs NEVER call offensive pass interference." Offensive pass interference proceeded to be called about three times during that game lmao. The stupid things he says can be pretty entertaining. This change doesn't bother me though becaus I like Jaws.

LOL, I was wondering if someone would catch that. I heard the end of something on the radio then used google news to figure out what happened. It was the first to pop up.

All Kornheiser does is talk about his fantasy team.

They just traded up even more than when Pitt moved from Aniston to Jolie.
