I think it's an excellent choice. The only drawback is that Gruden, clearly, is not ready to turn in his clipboard to become the next Madden. Thus you are looking at renting a guy for a year or two, then having to make another change. Nevertheless, he should be outstanding in this role. Someone with his level of knowledge will be able to do what us sports fans really want from an announcer - tell us stuff we don't already know (which Tony never once did).

I love Kornheiser as a writer, radio host, and sports debate program pioneer, but clearly he was in way over his head in that booth. I'm sure he'll land on his feet though.
