Re: Theismann out, Jaws in on MNF
I agree about ESPN using MNF to cross-promote other things. But I do not like it. I'm with Matty and the rest of ya about getting it back to football basics. We are the audience--football fans. Football itself is enough to keep people's attention, as is shown by the football ratings every year. We don't need additional comic relief or any other BS.
As for Joey T, I am one of the haters (maybe that's a bit strong, but...): something about his prima-donna style always rubbed me wrong. I liked him as a QB, but he really does love Joey T. TK is useless in the booth, IMO. We'll see about Jaws: at least he knows some football.
What's needed is a professional play-by-play guy like Buck or Michaels, and a good, impartial, insightful color guy. How hard can that be to find? The game will promote itself--just call it and get out of the way!
