I am sick of Kornheiser sweating his FF team on MNF
 

I mean come on not to mention all the other problems with MNF, this is getting really annoying. Anyone with me?

I blame TAF.

Re: I am sick of Kornheiser sweating his FF team on MNF
 

I think it's pretty funny actually. I've never seen an announcer talk about his FF team like that before, I like it.

Re: I am sick of Kornheiser sweating his FF team on MNF
 

if this is your biggest gripe with those guys, they must be doing a pretty good job

Re: I am sick of Kornheiser sweating his FF team on MNF
 

A.) I have nothing to do with the MNF production

B.) I can't bring myself to watch football today

C.) You've sure been upset with a lot ot stuff lately hoo

I guess it is that time of month.

Re: I am sick of Kornheiser sweating his FF team on MNF
 

It annoys the hell out of me too because he says it in such a gimmicky (I know, that's not really a word, go to hell Webster's) way that it grates on me. Like Bill Simmons said, about 20 million people play FF, we get it, you're one of those people Tony.

Re: I am sick of Kornheiser sweating his FF team on MNF
 

HAHA I can't believe you made this a thread. I bitched about it twice in other threads. Kornheiser is a moron, Wilbon deserves a spot but they already had their token guy. Fantasy is lame as shit, get a life, I hate having to root for other teams/players to do well.

Re: I am sick of Kornheiser sweating his FF team on MNF
 

TK just said he thinks the bears can go 19-0

:doh:

Re: I am sick of Kornheiser sweating his FF team on MNF
 

the bears have no reason not to go 8-0... next up for chicago - ari, sf, mia.

I agree. Its something different and kind of funny. Let JT talk about whether they should be running a 3 wr set or what reads the qb should be making or any of that other stupid football stuff that the announcer and fans have no clue about what's really going on anyway. TK was brought in to do exactly what hes been doing and hes doing a pretty good job of doing it.

Re: I am sick of Kornheiser sweating his FF team on MNF
 

i would be willing to bet my house that the bears do not go undefeated. Rex Grossman is playing out of his mind right now. no way he keeps it going for the whole season

Re: I am sick of Kornheiser sweating his FF team on MNF
 

yeah man i've tried to get into FF but just can't. i think it's kind of lame. i'm glad people enjoy it though. hopefully the craze will simma down!

Re: I am sick of Kornheiser sweating his FF team on MNF
 

I'm on the fence with FF. I don't play it, it takes up way too much time. However, my sons each have a team; and I have to say, I'm pretty impressed with the knowledge they have of other players and stats, more than I could ever digest. I agree though, pulling for another team, that you don't really care about, to win is kind of nauseating (sp?).

Re: I am sick of Kornheiser sweating his FF team on MNF
 

I'm simply sick of Kornheiser on MNF.

its not even teams, its pulling for player A to get a TD while hoping hhis QB doessn't toss enough to make you loss (since he's on the other guy's team) ;).

and beating against any team going undefeated is a very very safe bet. it just doesn't happen.

They have the best chance of anyone.

The Ravens finally lost. The Colts will lose. Hopefully to us. :)

Re: I am sick of Kornheiser sweating his FF team on MNF
 

The TK FF team IS a gimmick, either that or he has absolutely no clue!
He dropped McNabb fr Plummer? Pul-eeeeze
His kicker was injured Vinatieri!!!
He must chop and change the team JUST to have players playing on MNF so he can talk about it each and every week!

Re: I am sick of Kornheiser sweating his FF team on MNF
 

i think this is the best mnf crew in a long time. TK is great, the guy is so silly, he's always got me laughing about something.

as for fantasy football, i love it. i've been playing for the past 5 years, i've been the commissioner for the last 3. it's very fun, plus keeps you up to date with the stats of just about every offensive player in the NFL. my wife has always KINDA liked football and would watch it with me from time to time, well i talked her into joining my league last year and now she absolutely loves football. she gets just as excited about watching the games as i do, it's freakin awsome.
as for it taking up too much time, i totally disagree. set your lineup once a week, check for free agents and stuff like that once or twice a week and thats it, i spend more time on the WARPATH.NET then on FF.

Re: I am sick of Kornheiser sweating his FF team on MNF
 

yeah, i like that it keeps me up to date on player stats and who might be worthwhile in FA (less last minute research).

"he better catch the ball next time, he's on my fantasy football team"

i love the guy on pti, but he sucks at calling a game.

he didn't even know what a silent count was!

he does'nt need to know the x's and o's of the game. he's there more for entertainment then anything else and he is definately entertaining.

And he's a hell of a lot better than Dennis Miller!!!!!!!!! Remember that Fiasco? What the hell was that about?

if your a football announcer, you should know everything about football...its your job

i agree, but dont you think he should know more than he seems to know? if you don't know what a silent count is than theres something wrong

That's probably the NFL's biggest myth today. He's still making mistakes and throwing inaccurate passes from time to time. The difference is now that the Bears have a consistant passing game, he's getting more media attention. He's not playing any better really. Folks in the Chicagoland area have been excited about him since he won his first two starts in 2003.

As far as the Bears going undefeated, it COULD happen. They have already won 2 out of 3 road divisional games. They have a three game road trip in the northeast, and thats going to probably end that streak there.

I say 14-2. But then again I also (still) think the Skins will finish 12-4 and get the no. 2 seed. Time will tell.

Re: I am sick of Kornheiser sweating his FF team on MNF
 

I think part of the appeal of TK, for me at least, is that he really doesn't know much more about sports than your average Friday night bar patron, and he will be the first to admit that. I feel he has been a great foil to Wilbon's more encylopedic knowledge of sports and sports history.

Plus I thought he always was a great writer and radio host - I have always liked the guy a lot. So that is why it is so suprising to me that I find myself unable to stand him in the Monday night booth. His brand of commentary just doesnt work for this format. I would bet money that he does not make it to season 3.

Dude, he writes articles daily for the Washington post sports section and hosts his own "let's yell at each other about sports" show(fun to do in person, painful to watch). He knows his stuff, but says a lot of stupid shit for attention. Kornheiser just has this intangible quality that makes me want to yack. I hope Theismann crushes him the next time he says something condescending. I could write pages about how much I hate ESPN(but still consistently watch) and all of their personnel choices, formats, and coverage. To me their only saving grace is the occasional hilarious commercial.

I'm not sure how you can say he's not playing any better when his [URL="http://www.nfl.com/players/playerpage/396159"]numbers across the board [/URL]have gone through the roof. He's sporting a 100.8 QB rating. Prior to this year he was a career 67.4 QB.

thats just it, he's not the announcer, he's just a little side show.

don't be fooled, he knows the rules and such. he's been covering sports for many years,football included, i'm sure he's heard the term "silent count" before. he knows more than he lets on.
