OT somewhat, but the MNF crew grew on me this year. Sure, its laid back, but thats perfect for a Monday game, to be honest. It was relaxing to just kind of sit down and watch the game or have the game on in the background this year.
The crew made good analysis without going overboard. Kornhesier is a bit grating sometimes, but I don't mind him. Jaworski is decent, and Tirco ties it all together. Low key and subdued most of the times, but very informative and big plays are still big plays.
Maybe its just a break from most of the Sunday crews (and I saw a lot of B crews, watching all the Seahawk games) that are windbags (Sims), stating the obvious after every play (Baldinger/Sims), or explayers want to pretend to sound smarter then they are (Baldinger, Boselli, even Johnson this year...and don't get me started on Faulk and Sanders from Thursday Night), or guys that just do the regional games for a reason (Ron Pitts), or guys that want to do comedy (Versgien (SP))....or guys who have egos that are too big (Sims), or that every play is a big play (Enberg).
Not sure if they'll be back, but I was looking froward to Monday nights, even though some of the games were crap, because watching/listening to the game was a more laid back, comfortable expereince...tough to explain.
