re: Is it just me or is Theismann an Idiot on TV

I think we are Fortunate that Joe is doing our games. He has always been a little irritating, but he is a Redskins great. I don't like all the criticism. He may be suffering from some sort of brain issue from playing football. I still say we are lucky to have a guy that played for us and reached the top of the commentator chain. He was the Monday night guy for God sakes. He is commentating for comcast now. Give him a break. He is not doing it for the money, he loves the skins like we do.

Here on Ocean City the game was on MASN, so I got the Ravens feed. Daryl Johnston and another guy. They were actually really good.

Daryl Johnston is very good. As is Troy Aikman. It's aggravating that two Cowboys have turned into such great broadcasters. For my money it doesn't get any better than Troy Aikman and Joe Buck, although I have a feeling I'm going to really enjoy Jaworski's outstanding film breakdown on MNF.

The no down and distance thing drives me insane.

I like Joey T. in the booth though. Yeah he's annoying at times but overall he's a good color guy IMO. There are certainly those that are much worse.

re: Is it just me or is Theismann an Idiot on TV

That broadcast had me talking to the screen last night. It's amateur hour all the way. And I swear there are more commercial breaks in these games than at the Super Bowl. If it weren't for the ads they could have played most of the game. And when they finally came back from commercial there's Joey T holding a pizza box like a big dope. I need the regular season to start post haste. I'm actually looking forward Fox's C-Team of Sam Rosen/Kenny Albert and whoever. Give me Jerry Glanville at this point. I hate to admit it but I watched the abbreviated second half on MASN with Dick Stockton and Moose Johnston.

Exactly. Give Joe some credit. You can point to his quick boot from MNF, but consider that he did Sunday Night Football for ESPN for YEARS, and the network was apparently satisfied with his work during that time period, or at least did not think he stood out for his incompetence. And to think that between Tirico, Kornheiser and Joe, it was JOE that got the boot?! What?! Tirico is a creep, (see deadspin.com for stories, which I can't link to b/c I don't have enough posts yet), Kornheiser is a blowhard, and Joe is the guy they fired. Go figure.

The football player and the broadcaster are two different guys. Theismann is a dope in the booth.

When it comes to the Redskins he is objective unlike us fans.

JT isn't bad IMO. He makes mistakes now and then but his football knowledge is pretty good IMO.

I've always thought JT leaned to the side of being a Skins homer more than anything.

I've never really noticed him gushing over the Skins. He does praise them when they deserve it and he rips on them once in a while.
