I must be the only person on earth who doesn't understand the hatred for Joe Theismann. Even some Redskins fans can't stand him. Colin Cowherd said today that the email and complaints against him are higher than for any other broadcaster they have -- something like 80% against. The rest are in the 60% range at most.

I still say that the networks tend to overwork this a little. I honestly don't think the viewers care as much as ESPN thinks as to who the announcers are and whether they have enough "chemistry". Just show me the game.

It all started going downhill for ABC when the Al Michaels/Frank Gifford/Dan Dierdorf team was broken up. Gifford at some point had to be shown the door, but otherwise, I think they messed up a good thing, and haven't been able to fix it yet.
