When did ABC hire Limbaugh?PATSummerallofthe80s said:I remember Kornheiser was a finalist for the job when ABC hired Rush Limbaugh.
I am somewhat disappointed to see this line up. I thought Mike Patrick did a fine job and the chemistry between Theisman and Paul McGuire had some decent entertainment value.

Limbaugh worked for ESPN during the so-called McNabb controversy.PATSummerallofthe80s said:It was either two or three seasons ago. He was dismissed after a couple of games for contraversial remarks he made about Donovan McNabb.

Could be, the few times I've watched PTI I've been unimpressed, but I ignore most broadcast teams for their constant drivel anyway.PATSummerallofthe80s said:You are correct. I got confused as I now remember him being on ESPN Game Day at a desk by himself. My fault.
I think I confused it because there was one year that he was being considered for the MNF announcing team.
But I also know that about Kornheiser as he was a finalist one year.

Who is Madden's partner now? I thought it was Bob Costas---so if Costas is doing pregame, does that mean Michaels is there now?
