How in the hell could ESPN allow this guy back in the booth? hno:

He must have some serious dish on some of their big execs.

TK is great. He'll be even better with Jaws as a partner.

Please enlighten me. What does he contribute to the broadcast or are you just enamored with his wit and personality? I have no respect for his knowledge of the game and find his comments distracting and annoying.

tony would rather be home in bed right now so whatever it is that he brings to the booth espn finds it worthy. i like him but cant see how he helps the ratings.

Kornheiser is great, I loved the way he called out Joe T's idiotic commentary

I can't listen to this group. I like Tony on PTI, but not here.

Tirico is the worst!! He sounds like the guy from "Beverly Hills Cop".

Damed if you do like them, and Damed if you don't like them. Who else is their? At least we dont have to listen to "Mr. In Love With Himself" Joe Buck, if he was in the booth on MNF. I would think the ratings would be worse yet. There isnt anyone in this business right now that really is enjoyable and insightful to listen too. The Vin Scullys of the world are non existant. Broadcasting as we used to know it is totally off base and who knows what will come of it. I guess watching with the volume off is the answer.

I used to like Tirico, at least I thought he did. But his voice inflection is extremely annoying. Nearly every sentence he says sounds exactly the same. He is the anti Al Michaels in this respect. I like Jaws but Tirico and Tony need to go

there are still knowledgeable and intelligent relatively no name people doing games in all sports all over the country, but ESPN and the major networks seems reluctant to hire these types of people....for what reason I have no idea.

I made it through 1st half. Had to mute much of 2nd half. Only one worth listening to is Jaws.

Amen!
These two spend so much time talking about anything but the game in front of them. They don't know Pro Football.

ESPN Monday Night Pre-game was weak too. WTF do we need a 5 man team for. Tom Jackson and Steve Young are a good team, Keyshaun is a bust, and there is really not enough room for Emmit even though he can probably develop. Replace Berman as the host. Jackson, Young and a new host with a stonger knack for football and handing the ball off would make for a much tighter pre-game crew. Hell, I'd take Suzie Kolber hosting instead of Berman.
