ACor58 Posted February 8, 2006 Posted February 8, 2006 You just beat me to it. I guess Al Michaels likes Theesman as much as the rest of us do, so he quit. I am ok with Tirico and I love PTI so I think that Kornheiser is an interesting touch.
Beerball Posted February 8, 2006 Posted February 8, 2006 I find Tirico difficult to listen to. Theisman is a pompous stuupid donkey dong. Tony K I like--not sure how he'll be in a three hour steady dose though. Mute is the only option.

I don't think I could take Kornheiser for that long - unless maybe if he is calling Theisman a jackass the entire game and hitting him over the head with rolled up posters of ex-wife Cathy Lee Crosby, and refers to him as a poor man's Fran Tarkenton the entire broadcast, then and only then might I tune in, and even then, probably not. I think Tirico is okay but more suited to college broadcasts.
KRC Posted February 8, 2006 Posted February 8, 2006 Now I am more interested in finding out who will be doing the radio broadcasts since I will not want to listen to the TV guys.
KRC Posted February 8, 2006 Posted February 8, 2006 There is Boomer E. on the radio. 598315[/snapback] Who is working with Boomer E on the radio?
X. Benedict Posted February 8, 2006 Posted February 8, 2006 Who is working with Boomer E on the radio? 598319[/snapback] I think it was one of the Alperts - Marv or Steve.
X. Benedict Posted February 8, 2006 Posted February 8, 2006 I think it was one of the Alperts - Marv or Steve. 598321[/snapback] Check that: it was Perv Alpert (sic)
Beerball Posted February 8, 2006 Posted February 8, 2006 Check that: it was Perv Alpert (sic) 598325[/snapback] Herb Alpert--Brazil 66??? Marv/Perv Albert.
X. Benedict Posted February 8, 2006 Posted February 8, 2006 Check that: it was Perv Alpert (sic) 598325[/snapback] But I am not sure it they were renewed, I think it was much less commerical time, and I preferred them to Madden and Michaels. http://www.slate.com/?id=2071995
KRT88 Posted February 8, 2006 Posted February 8, 2006 New MNF Team 598301[/snapback] Theismen just sucks!!! What was wrong with Dan Fouts? He is so much better than that a$$clown
stinky finger Posted February 8, 2006 Posted February 8, 2006 I do like Tirico. Theismann talks a lot without saying anything. I like Kornheiser. He should prove to be a sober McGuire.....only more tolerable.
Draconator Posted February 8, 2006 Posted February 8, 2006 What's wrong with Mike Patrick? He is a great announcer! I'm not a fan of Thiesmann either, but Patrick, Thiesmann, and MacGuire worked and complimented each other very well.
Just Jack Posted February 8, 2006 Posted February 8, 2006 Now I am more interested in finding out who will be doing the radio broadcasts since I will not want to listen to the TV guys. 598316[/snapback] Well, if you have Sirius, you can listen to both teams radio announcers.
Dan Gross Posted February 8, 2006 Posted February 8, 2006 Well, if you have Sirius, you can listen to both teams radio announcers. 598350[/snapback] How well would it sync up to TV? That's always the difficulty of using different sources for the audio and video...usually radio's ahead, or else you could play tricks with TIVO....
KRC Posted February 8, 2006 Posted February 8, 2006 Well, if you have Sirius, you can listen to both teams radio announcers. 598350[/snapback] Now you want me to pay to listen to the game?
Dan Gross Posted February 8, 2006 Posted February 8, 2006 Now you want me to pay to listen to the game? 598371[/snapback] Isn't it less to pay for the NFL online subscription...? At least that you can pause if it's ahead...
X. Benedict Posted February 8, 2006 Posted February 8, 2006 Now you want me to pay to listen to the game? 598371[/snapback] Broadcast is still free. Westwood One is the producer.
R. Rich Posted February 8, 2006 Posted February 8, 2006 You know what sucks even worse than Tirico, Theeeeeeeeeeesman, Kornheiser, or whoever else they can find to man the booth? Week 1: Green Bay vs Detroit Week 2: NY (doesn't matter which one; just one of them) vs Oakland Week 3: Dallas vs Kansas City Week 4: San Fransisco vs Dallas Week 5: Indianapolis vs Dallas Week 6: Dallas vs Dallas and so on and so on... The matchups are what suck now on MNF. More than ever, considering the show's move to cable, they'll rely on the big market teams to give them their automatic ratings rather than working to provide good matchups. For that reason, I no longer regularly watch MNF. I'll tune in to watch a game now and then, but it's no longer required viewing for me. It won't be until they fix the problem, not the symptoms.
