Theismann out, Jaws in on MNF
Sorry to see Joe go. He's got a mouth, but he's not afraid to go against the grain, and speak his mind. Rare these days. However, I have a lot of respect for Jaws. Long live the King
ESPN.com - NFL - New MNF booth: Jaworski joins Tirico, Kornheiser

Re: Theisman out, Jaws in on MNF
They should have booted Tony instead.

What happened to MNF?
JAWS is annoying and an Eagle. |

Re: Theismann out, Jaws in on MNF
I doubt I'll be able to watch any eagles game that Jaws announces. Talk about an unabashed homer.

Didn't think they'd make a change.

Re: Theismann out, Jaws in on MNF
Not that Joey Sunshine was all that in the booth, but he beat the heck outta Tony Kornheiser. Tony should've got the boot. And JAWS goes down your spine like a rusty nail.

Re: Theismann out, Jaws in on MNF
If anyone was going to go you'd have thought it would've been Tony. Joey T was with the Sunday crew for years and gets just one season on Mondays? Maybe there's more to this?

Re: Theismann out, Jaws in on MNF
I am very excited to have Jaws in the booth. He is one of the most informed analysts in the business.

Re: Theismann out, Jaws in on MNF
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. |

Re: Theismann out, Jaws in on MNF
Joey T. isn't my favorite, but he certainly isn't the worst one on the Monday night crew, Tony talks about his fantasy football team more than he talks about the game

Re: Theismann out, Jaws in on MNF
I like Theismann as an announcer (yes, I know I'm in the minority). Although I must admit Jaws is a very reasonable repalcement.
This completely sidesteps the issue that there are a BILLION things worse about ESPN monday night football than Theismann could ever be, starting with the guest rapper of the week in the middle of the 3rd quarter. WTF????? So I'm even more angry that in trying to "fix" it they are going to miss the things that are really wrong. |

Re: Theismann out, Jaws in on MNF
When JT first became an announcer I was not much on him. I'll have to say that over the years I grew to like him and his view of the game. I thought he did a good job of explaining things and why play worked or did not work. I really just listen to them as filler and for who's who playing.

Re: Theismann out, Jaws in on MNF
there isn't anyone who watches more game film, or is more knowledgeable then jaworski. now that i have said that, why does mike tirico keep getting a free pass? he is about the worst, unknowledgeable( yes, I'm making up my own words) play by play man in the business.
