coachharry Posted October 28, 2008 Share Posted October 28, 2008 I know. Earlier he was spouting about that Titans haven't played anyone, so are they really "undefeated." Now he's all on Collins' jock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bushey Posted October 28, 2008 Share Posted October 28, 2008 Won't be long now. ESPN is going to stick Whoopie Goldberg and the rest of the view in the booth. They just can't get it right. Stick a true play by play guy in there and get rid of those stupid sideline reporters with their obvious rants regarding football players. While they're at it, stop forcing the coaches to stop and talk with these clowns. My favorite question is " Coach, looks like you're offense is struggling to move the ball out here tonight." "What adjustments will you make at halftime?" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
detlef Posted October 28, 2008 Share Posted October 28, 2008 (edited) Maybe it's just because I'm actually watching the game but I just don't get all the outrage about Kornheiser. Also, I didn't realize that announcers were required to pick a side and stick with it. I was under the impression that they were there to point out what was going on. Well, guess what. In the first half, Indy was doing what Indy needed to do. They were running well and stopping the run. Two things that they hadn't done all season. So, he was making a big deal about that. If you haven't been watching much football, you might not have known that. That's his job to point out. Then, when Tenn and Collins rose to the occasion, he hyped them. Again, that's his job. Tenn is not built to come from behind and Collins was certainly not brought in to put the team on his back so this was also very newsworthy. What I think is that people decide who they're supposed to like and who they're not. Then, regardless of what they do, it just reinforces their opinion. Personally, I'm not a fan of the guy any more so than anyone else. It just amazes me how much attention people give to the woes of MNF and their choice of announcers. When the games are good, MNF is good. When the games suck, MNF sucks. I've never watched an otherwise crappy game thinking, "Well Al Michaels is making this thing worth watching. Great choice guys." Nor have I gotten up from a nail biter because I got sick of Dan Deirdorf (who I do feel is nearly intolerable). Maybe in the past MNF was able to get by on the crew in the booth. Then again, when Dandy Don and Co. were talking to me, we had all of 3 channels to choose from. Might have had something to do with their strangle-hold on the ratings. See, that's the thing. It's out on a island and one of dozens and dozens of things you can watch at primetime. If the 1pm game on Sunday is a dog, you get up and mow the lawn or something. No big deal, but your week 9 MNF match-up that was supposed to feature two Super Bowl contenders that now suck because of this reason or that, you're kind of hosed. It's Monday night, the lights are on, everyone's at the bar, and you've got two crappy teams with back-up QBs behind center.

smithkt Posted October 28, 2008 Share Posted October 28, 2008 The primary reason I have such a dislike for the guy is that he continually disrupts the play by play and takes the focus off the game to place it on the booth. In my opinion a good announcing team should be keeping the focus on the game, whether the game be good or bad. He doesn't do this. He keeps trying to engage Jaws in PTI style debates. Two man booths work well for a reason. ESPN should give it a try. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bronco Billy Posted October 28, 2008 Share Posted October 28, 2008 (edited) Maybe it's just because I'm actually watching the game but I just don't get all the outrage about Kornheiser. Because it's difficult to enjoy the game while a jock sniffing jackhole who doesn't understand the game beyond that the ball isn't round sits and lectures to the audience about the game, all the while trying to display his kindergarten level intellect to impress the masses. At least Dennis Miller had some genuine intellect. Someone ought to tell the production crews and management that even though they are presenting a ratings-bonanza prime time matchup that they are still televising a football game. If they want to use guys like Kornholer, steal Dancing with the Stars from another network. Edited October 28, 2008 by Bronco Billy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nuke'em ttg Posted October 28, 2008 Share Posted October 28, 2008 Yep he sucks........If they were smart they'd get some Super Hawt Chick that tracks Fantasy points and jumps up and down alot and bends over to hike a ball whenever theirs a TD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
detlef Posted October 28, 2008 Share Posted October 28, 2008 If they were smart they'd get some Super Hawt Chick that tracks Fantasy points and jumps up and down alot and bends over to hike a ball whenever theirs a TD This is an absolutely fine solution and one that could, perhaps, save what would be an otherwise unwatchable game.

HowboutthemCowboys Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 Jaws sounds like he is eating a greasy burger when he talks. what is it with Jaws and "THE NATIONAL FOOTBALL LEAGUE"? Seems like he has to say "THE NATIONAL FOOTBALL LEAGUE" every time he speaks, like we're going to forget that we're watching a game in the "NATIONAL FOOTBALL LEAGUE".

Detlef, Dierdorf is way better than TK, I'd much rather see Al & Dan, add in Jaws, would be a much better show than now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bronco Billy Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 Couldn't stand the guy. Nor could I. When you've got an announcer trying to impress a football listening public with comparisons of players to Agamemnon and football games to the Battle of Thermopylae, you've got yourself the definition of a match made in Hell. All I'm saying is that Kornholer aspires to be what Miller was and fails miserably. Now that's bad... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muggsy Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 I have a solution to the whole thing... Jaws & Kornheiser can't seem to get along with each other outside of the 5 minutes they spend together on PTI every Monday. In the booth during MNF it just seems like Tony is trying to bait Jaws into a debate/fight every couple minutes. So, I propose a steel cage match at the 50 yard line between the two of them every monday during halftime(televised of course) with Tirico(who i do enjoy) as the referee. The loser is not allowed to talk during the 2nd half each week. Done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
