MNF on ESPN

[MrBlahh]

I forgot why I never watched sunday night football. These announcers are horrible. Im not sure which is worse...these guys spending time discussing how great the quarterbacks are at throwing the ball away when under pressure (they even had a stat) or the Tom Cruise love fest that went on when Fox spent the entire second quarter in the box.

Anyways, go Vikes!!

I REALLY miss the way it used to be - and i especially miss NFL Primetime.

The only carry over from Sunday night is Theismann (who I can't stand).

I like Kornheiser because he seems unafraid to point out when undue praise is being given.

Kornheiser is a joke. I don't know why they insist on having 3 people in the box. Theismann is an idiot, but tolerable. Tirico isn't bad IMO.

I personally like Kornheiser for the reason mentioned above. I'm afraid that they (ESPN) will axe him because it seems like he rubs up against Theismann and 3 people seem not necessary.

I don't care much for him in the first place, and he isn't funny which is why they brought him in in the first place. From what i've seen, he seems lost most of the time too...

He definitely still seems a bit uncomfortable getting comments in. The sad thing is that producers are making a mockery of him with that inane "Tony, Tony, Tony" segment.

I hate Theismann as an announcer.

I had the TV muted, but noticed the camera repeatedly showing Tom Cruise as well as Jamie Foxx. What was the discussion about? :roll:

The discussion was Tom Cruise and Jaime Foxx. For about 30 minutes. The game was secondary

Wow, they just shot to them again. They seem to be under the impression that it will increase their ratings or something.

I'm just all screwed up. Some games on Fox. Some on CBS. An early and a late one on NBC. Two of them on ESPN on Monday.

I've just been so used to CBS & Fox doing the Sunday day games. ESPN having the crappy late Sunday game. And then ABC doing a (usually) fairly anticipated MNF game.

Don't forget this is a Monday Night Double Header.

San Diego Chargers at Oakland Raiders up next.

Who will the TV announcers be for the second game?

Dick Vermeil, Jaws and some other guy (who had a decent joke at halftime that no one picked up on).

Is this the plan for the rest of the season, or are they only having one game henceforth?

I'm pretty sure the double header is just for opening weekend.

How did NBC get some games? I thought ABC was going to get the sunday night game.

Almost exactly my thoughts. Tirico has a very good TV / radio voice but he's not the smoothest play-by-play guy for football. Theismann, OMG, he's annoying! And the PTI dude, why is he even there? He's annoying on PTI, and surprise! annoying on "Is It Monday Yet" Night Football. :roll:

I like him on PTI. but i agree he is not a good football guy. but then again i hate all of them.

oh and whoever is doing the SD oak game suck bigtime also

It's gotta be tough to be a Raiders fan. Moss is probably thinking this is going to be a LONG year. Roughing the kicker to give the opposing team a first down? LOL

Did anyone watch Jerry Porter laughing on the sidelines, and pump his fist when Brooks got sacked? What a POS
