Big ESPN shakeup: Jaws is out of MNF

[Deus Irae]

Jaworski’s expanded role won’t include the job he’s most famous for: Monday Night Football. ESPN is moving to a two-man booth in 2012: Jon Gruden and Mike Tirico.

I don't get this one, since he was the only person in that broadcasting crew who was worth listening to.

they all sucked IMO

 

[JackBauer]

They need to get Joe Buck in there somehow.

Probably because Jaws dropped an S bomb on air. He was the lesser of three evils. I don't even know why Tirico is on there. He needs to stick to basketball.

Joe Buck needs to just announce everything. Every sport, every game, public company's earnings, engagements, pregnancies -- you name it.

Agree... his fact-based analysis trumped the silly knee-jerk seat-of-the-pants analysis that Gruden always threw out there. More Chucky = more of the mute button for me.

I'm sorry, no.

I would not mourn if Joe Buck developed a permanent case of laryngitis.

Yup... I think Jaws brought the best analysis to the table of the bunch but he was insufferable with his giggle-fest with Gruden.

 

[TheBeers]

I don't mind Tirico, solid play-by-play. To Me Gruden and Jaworski are the same guy. They both have basically the same role on the show.. maybe this will tone down the overall ball washing those two go over the top with. I absolutely cannot stand Joe Buck.. right there with Dierdorf as most annoying voice in the business IMO.

 

[Rob0729]

Gruden is going to have to step up his QB ball washing this year. Jaws will leave a big void in that area. Jaws is a great analyst, bu a crap color guy.

 

[BradyFTW!]

I'm neutral on Tirico, Jaws and Gruden both bug me. In general, I prefer two in the booth over three (I'd prefer 1 or 0...), so I guess this is an improvement

Greetings,
It seems like whenever a player makes a big play in a MNF game or has a big game, no matter how inconsistent he is or how bad of a player he is Gruden acts like the guy deserves a Pro Bowl spot or All-Pro credidentials.

I want Herm Edwards in the booth!

Buck and Aikman are the best announcers in the NFL. Lemme gues, you like Simms and Nantz?:bricks:

 

[PatsFanSince74]

My first reaction was, geez, he was kind of part of my Monday Night routine...so, maybe the suits at ESPN just wanted to shake things up a bit.

I'm ok with it...just no more Dennis Miller experiments please!!!!!!!

 

[midpack]

Maybe they'll put Tedy Bruschi in there

Not sure if serious....

Aikman is fine (although an idiot) but Buck is the worst play by play guy of our time, IMO

Who cares?

I've never watched a game or not watched a game b/c of the announcers. They could have no announcers and I'd still watch.

 

[THELAWFIRM226]

I don't know or care what others think, Gruden and Jaws were/are 2 of my favorite announcers. Tirico is whatever, I don't really have an opinion on him. I did really like Jaws though, I felt he was fair to all sides and gave an objective view of the game. Gruden can be a handful but he's easily the most entertaining.

 

[blackglass3]

I blame Jaws for coming up with the phrase "Blueprint to beat the Patriots", even though I am not positive he was the first one to say it. However, besides that, I found him tolerable. I can't stand Tirico...if you're going to axe anyone it should have been him.
