Monday night relief

[dinoa2]

just saw that the wonderful Tony Kornheiser is finally leaving MNF. didnt even see that Gruden got fired in tampa but he is replacing him.

one down and two to go. dont know why they didnt leave it as it was when they took over MNF.. Theisman , Paul McGuire and the other guy were pretty good in my opinion

I can't agree with you more....

It's ashame no more Madden but I am so glad that Tony Kornheiser left the show. The funny thing is because of his fear (at least that's what being circulated):

"Kornheiser added: “I am totally grateful for the MNF opportunity that I truly enjoyed the last three seasons. I feel we got better each year. My fear of planes is legendary and sadly true. When I looked at the upcoming schedule it was the perfect storm that would’ve frequently moved me from the bus to the air. I kept looking at the schedule the past month and wanted to find a way to quietly extricate myself."

For whatever the reason, thank goodness I can now enjoy MNF again.

Tony Kornheiser,,,,,not sure how he even reamains on TV. He could have been replaced by a monkey. My apologies to any monkeys who may have read this post.

I'm really sick of ESPN and that is why I have not watched Monday night since they took over. So I don't care who does Monday night football.

on behalf of all monkeys, I take offense at the comparison but am glad that some others feel the same way I do about him

They have really messed MNF up trying to get "color" guys for commentary. There are plenty of ex football players who can do the job. The triviial diatribe that goes on ruins the game

I hope he doesn't let the door hit em on his on the way out.

Oh and best of luck to him of course...

We will always miss Madden...

Dgar lines up behind J.C. it's a stacked right formation!



The thread is hiked as Slyder slips a block and Bam! lands a shot to the head as he gets past J.C.

Legion-cl follows in close behind the blitzing Slyder! jadeg001 appears to be undecided on his assignment but fortunately gets some blocking help from the right tackle NCStogie.

J.C. and the Eating Couch flatten the blitzing Doogie, BOOM!

Madden rolls out to the right avoiding the defensive attack!

Jack Straw is OPEN having run a perfect post pattern!



J.C. has recovered and makes a great open field block on Slyder a moment before he was going to drag down Madden from behind!!

Madden recovers his balance and fires downfield! The pass is caught! The PASS IS CAUGHT!"





"Now the way they did that was" and repeat lines 4 thru 10 . LOL!

Boom hes gone!



Nuthin but love baby! . Dafiddla!
