Default The new MNF crew announced...

Tony Kornheiser, Joe Theismann, and Mike Tirico with the pbp.

tirico is a GREAT choice. Knowledgeable and not one to gush all over players. Kornheiser is a pretty witty guy and a nice distraction from the clown that Theisman is.

I hated the way Joe et al would fawn all over every team every week on Sunday night football.
But to Joe's credit, many of his insights were right, when he wasn't blowing sunshune up the player's ass.

Michelle Tafoya didn't seem to know jack this year. Even the e-mail "observations" when she was on maternity leave were often wrong.
I like Suzy Kobler; she's no Robin Regehr, but that's a good thing.

I love Kornheiser so I am happy with that pick. Theisman is not great in my opinion but he isn't horrible so he's bearable. Not a fan of Tirico at all but I will give him a shot.

The addition of Kornheiser makes it a great move in my opinion, so the other two guys could be anyone, other than Stuart Scott, and I would have been happy with the group.

Like Tranny, I'm a big fan of Mike Tirico. Not so much of Theismann, but he's replacing John Madden. I don't see how he's not an improvement. Kornheiser bugs me.

Isn't Kornheiser that guy who was all petty about receiving unflattering e-mails from Canada and decided to make fun of Canada on air repeatedly after that? I don't know the PTI guys but saw one of them repeatedly embarassing himself with pettiness on air last year - big mouth, small brain but I guess that is ideal for the job.
