No More Kornholio (at least on MNF)

[NAHSTE]

Possibly the most ridiculous excuse ever...considering that the top person in the profession (Madden) 'somehow' managed to have a 30+ year career despite having a fear of flying.

Does anyone have a brain anymore?

Exactly. Not to mention the schedule is no different than any other year. What does he mean by saying the schedule this year prohibits non-air traveling? Is he implying that they were previously tailoring the schedule to be within the East Coast, specifically the Megapolis?

I guess I am biased after watching all of his shitty press conferences. Him saying that they couldn't get the ball down the feild, while his philosophy is to throw the ball 2 yards every play. Dick brain.

It's hard to get the ball down the field when your quarterback refuses to throw it downfield.

I agree with Blitz. Get your head out of the sand. Steve is a walking, talking, crying vagina. The guy crows about all these sports he played. The guy played soccer. It was the only sport he was good at. He talks about hockey as if he is a aficionado - yet Phil Esposito will tell you that the two worst people he's ever seen on a pair of skates are Whiteney Johnson and Steve Duemig.

I for one can't stand Tony on MNF. In the beginning of every game he would pick a storyline, for example lets say the Saints are playing, he would pick something like Reggie Bush's USC stats and performance and just stick with that all game. Every time Reggie would come up to the line of scrimmage he would start talking about Reggie's USC plays or his stats and it would get to the point where you would want to choke him out. I think with Gruden your going to get more knowledgeable things coming from him. He has coached in the NFL, he knows the ins and outs, he can look at the field and have a better understanding of whats going on, opposed to Kornheiser who would stick to a storyline all game and ask Jaws dumb questions.

to ba fair, madden didnt have a daily show on espn to do as well as travel around in the bus all week to get to teh next game. as far as I know madden hasnt set foot on aplane since he was a coach in the 70's.

not that i am sticking up for T.K, i do like him but he is a whiner.

So he HAS to force himself to take a bus all the time ?
Depending on the schedule he would be on one coast for a month or at least in close proximity. Being on a bus or train non stop can take its toll if you dont enjoy it on some level. If he doesnt want to do it he doesnt want to do it. Pretty ridiculous to whine about him for years then when he leaves scoff at his reason for doing it. As if you expected him to leave and say "I sucked and message board guys hated me so Im gone".

I love Kornheiser on PTI. Didnt understand his lack of homework or knowledge on MNF. We'll see how Gruden pans out.

 

[Hasselbeck]

Great, this is gonna be the worst thing ever. Even though Tony didn't really provide any football insight, he didn't really talk that much. Now all we're gonna here about is all of Gruden's retarded philosophys about how 40 year old QBs are better than 25 year old QBs, and how Double X Swing Right Triple Smoke Boom is the best play to use on third downs. On top of that, the guys is always screaming, like Stephen A. Smith, and losses his voice alot because of that.

Welcome to hell.

You obviously didn't watch Gruden on NFLN during the draft.. he was money.

 

[Aso]

Can't wait for Gruden on MNF. Definitely make the crew better.

It will be great to have a coach in the booth. A guy who can break down the film from all levels and really explain the game across the board. He's young, was recently in the NFL so he will not be "out of touch" with the game the way some former players/coaches are and I am really expecting him to do well.Honestly it's too bad he will probably only be there for a year.

Not really scoffing at it as much as calling BS on it. This was just an amicable excuse for both parties. He really got replaced but pulled the traveling card to save face.
