Tony Kornheiser insists on calling the game...!

[FunBunch7]

I've counted at least 5 times in the 2nd half that he wants to declare the game over...

"Okay Tony, the Eagles are up by 22, yeah they are going to win...do you have anything insightful you want to add?"

This guy is a joke...he's just a bit better than Dennis Miller.

I feel sorry for Theismann and Terico for having to babysit this guy.

[Oldskool]

I refuse to have the volume on during MNF games. I hate Kornheiser as much as any other "sports journalist".

[bubba9497]

one man's poison, is another man's meat


I like him

[Destino]

It's football there is only so much to talk about when a good team is beating the crap out of a joke.

[Alabama Man]

Theissman is the joke.

"Its not a td he didn't cross the pylon"

"Joe, ever heard of around the world?"

---

"AND ITS A TD, GREAT PLAY BY MCNABB!!!"

loser

[richard saunders]

Kornheiser was right though, the game was over...

[DWinzit]

They are all................okay. Turico has screwed up a few times on calls, Tony has become to comfortable so talks to much and Joe T, well enough said!

[Boss_Hogg]

I think they are all bad.

[Colesfan05]

I know Theismna makes mistakes but I find it kinda unprofessional how Korheiser insists on pointing out every one of his mistakes. He just needs to let some things go.

[Kosher Ham]

Listening to that broadcast was unbearable. I turned on some satellite radio instead. Gotta love Super Shuffle.

[rebornempowered]

I think Kornheiser stinks in general. I've never liked him and MNF has made my dislike for him even worse.

[Jethrodsp]

I would love a Korheiser-Madden-Michaels combo.

Thats just me though.

I like Korny, think he brings a new perspective to the booth.

[boobiemiles]

I hate the combo of Theisman and Tony. Tony is a journalist. Stick to writing Tony. Howard Coussell, you're not.

[Elvis Nixon]

Does anyone know if Tony plays Fantasy Football? :laugh:

I mean c'mon, dude mentions his picks at least twice every game. Almost as much as Madden mentioned Brett Favre.

I was about to say the samething. I'm really not interested in who's on his fantasy team.

[stwasm]

I think the glory days of "Monday Night Football" all long gone. :mad:

[ouvan59]

I like Tony in general but I'm sort of undecided on his MNF gig at this point. What I hate most about the ESPN broadcasts are the sideline reports. All I want out of a sideline reporter is injury updates and that's it. I could care less that Donovan McNabb likes to watch Brett Favre play. I could care less that Suzy Kolber wants to make the game a big hugfest. Shut the eff up and show me the replay of the previous play instead.

[CPortJGibbs89]

I actually like what he brings to the booth. He actualy says some football related commments that are pretty good. He is not like miller who the entire game thought it was a damn comedy show. I hated that guy. But like others said he rips on Joe alot, but joe also says some of the most dumb and obvious crap.

[sjinhan]

I agree Korny just brings the persepective of an average football fan. The thing about how the game is over and such at the start of 4th quarter... unless you are some hardcore fan i think most tv viewers were thinking of the same thing. I dont get why people are so upset with korny just saying out loud what most people were thinking at time.

However for the MNF thing to work either Joe T. or Korny needs to go.

[codeorama]

I like Korny... I have no problem with him being in the booth. I like Joe T as well. Madden and Michaels sucked, glad they are gone, too bad NBC picked them up.

[Warhead36]

I like Kornheiser. He's not Marv Albert or anything but he's alright.

[EersSkins05]

I like Kornheiser in the booth. He'd be much better with a color guy that didn't constantly contradict himself.

Meanwhile, my all-time nightmare booth tandem would be Joe Buck with Paul McGwire. Oh, my head hurts just thinking about it.

[SC3]

Tony has some funny things to say (like the Giants plastic bag joke) otherwise he should try to blend in. Right now, it seems as if Joe and Mike are trying not to interrupt him.

[CoachingWinsChampionships]

The funny thing is that he said the game is over, yet kept saying that "with Brett Favre on your team, you're never out of it." WTF?

BTW--I friggin love Brett Favre.

[kevinklein]

Kornheiser has one of the worst voices I've ever heard, and he does himself no favors by saying the stupidest things.

A bad choice for MNF. :(

[UltimateSkins]

I like what he has to say more often than not. Honestly, whod want to sit through Packers vs Eagles anyways thats not a fan of either of thsoe teams?

[FedExFielder]

Grades on a Good Day

Tirico: C+ I've never liked him
Theisman: B
Kornheiser: I for incomplete, the jury is still out on him

but Al Michaels and John Madden are an A team for sure. Say what you will about John Madden being old and rambling but he knows his stuff and has done more for the game in the last ten-fifteen years besides Mr. Tagliabue.

[Who Del]

How many times did Theismann refer to the William Penn statue as Ben Franklin? The guy is a complete and total moron. Sorry Skin fans. Maybe he belonged on the field but in the broadcast booth? NOOOOOO!!!

[Eagle091]

Kornheiser needs to stick with pti. he's terrible. i just want him to stfu and stop trying to be funny in in-oppertune times.

[skinsngibbs4life]

yeah, he kinda reminds of that comedian that they tried in the booth a couple years back. I cant even remeber the name he was so bad

[roanoker]

I hate the combo of Theisman and Tony. Tony is a journalist. Stick to writing Tony. Howard Coussell, you're not.




I agree. Tony is good around keyboards and I liked him on the radio. He just doesnt seem to fit on TV...

[diesel22]

Remembered this thread while I was watching the game last night. At first, I thought this thread was a little off-base but I was oh so wrong !

He was trying to call last night's game in the FIRST HALF !! :doh:

I am too young to remember Cossell -- but I truly miss Al, Fank, and Dan. That was the only night of the week (during the school yr) that my dad would let me stay up. I remember being so jealous that my friends got to go to Indy for a Halloween Monday night game -- they came back with masks of Al, Frank, and Dan that were passed out at the game. Those were the days....
