Jaws and Gruden in the booth at the same time. Dare we hope that the MNF broadcast will actually contain some football analysis-like substance?
I never understood fear of flying, but I guess that's why they're phobias. There's not always a rational explanation.
Myself, I have always had a very bad case of gephyrophobia (fear of bridges), and that probably sounds pretty damn silly to anyone who doesn't have the same problem.
Kornheiser was always pretty good on the radio. I'm sure he'll go back to doing that.

why not just leave it at Tirico and Jaws? I don't understand why MNF (or any sporting event) needs 3 broadcasters.

I haven't heard anything official, but all of the coverage I did hear, sounded like they presumed that he would go back to a daily D.C. show in addition to the PTI stuff and the sort. On a related subject: obviously you liked his local show. What did you think of his National show? I don't know that I ever heard any of his local show, other than maybe a stray comment or something. He wasn't one of my favorites though Nationally. But he did have some of the best guests on. So I was sort of "torn." |

Tony should go back to print and PTI. He was fantastic as a writer and he's good on PTI. But he obviously has very little interest anymore in actually watching sports, so maybe not.

The difference in intellect and sense of humor between Mr. Tony's nationally syndicated show and the show that replaced it was roughly akin to the difference in the same areas between your typical Georgetown alum and the only Florida alum I know who posts on Georgetown's message board. Can anyone tell us what Colin Cowherd has to say about that? |

So obviously you're not very pleased with the potential move, since -- should Tony return -- you could potentially lose what you view as the "end-all, be-all" humor show on radio.

I whole-heartedly agree. It wasn't that he was "bad," as much as it was that he was a bad "fit," in a very similar way that both Dennis Miller and Rush Limbaugh were bad "fits." Regardless of what we think about any of them in particular, their "strenghts" were not complimentary to the overall product. That doesn't mean they couldn't excel in different arenas.

I think it is good to have a former coach in the booth -- assuming Gruden is a good media guy.

Loved Gruden at the draft on NFL Network.
