Does Monday Night Football on ESPN have the worst announcers ever, Joe Theisman and Tony Kornheiser?

Question

Will they last all season, will changes be made, and who would be a better fit in the booth?

Answer 1

In a word....YES! I never liked Theisman as an announcer anyway and now they have Kornball up there. It's just plain annoying and they are both distracting to the game. This Tony, Tony, Tony stuff has got to go. It got so bad last night I just turned the sound off. I am very disappointed in ESPN.
Will they last all season? God I hope not.
Will changes be made? God I hope so.
Who would better fit in the booth? At this point just about anyone would be an improvement. I really really miss Al Michaels, although I was watching a game this weekend on the NFL channel and there was an announcer that sounded very similar to Al (his style anyway). Never did find out who it was, but damn bring in Chris Berman...anybody, somebody just get Joe and Tony off of there!!!!

Answer 2

I think Kornheiser is good at analyzing what is going on around the game and presenting that while they have the other 2 calling the game. I liked the Sunday night football combo they had last year on ESPN, with the exception of Theisman, and they put the guy that I dislike on Monday Night Football. But they can do whatever they want, Ill just watch the game.

Answer 3

I thought the same exact thing last night. That was my biggest problem with the Monday Night game moving to ESPN. I always hated the Sunday night game because of them. They argue in the booth, Joe Theisman sucks and Mike Torico sucks too. I didn't know Kornheiser was going to be a part of it, and he didn't help either. So maybe I will do what my grandpa taught me, watch the game with the sound off. By the way I love John Madden and Al Michaels. ABC really screwed up.

Answer 4

i think joe theisman is the worst announcer ever. he's like the bill walton of the nfl. he's always got the stupidest, most obvious observations. the jury's still out on kornheiser although he didn't do much to impress me. mike tirico is very steady. a good play by play guy. but that's probably the easiest job in an announcing booth.
i don't think they'll replace anybody mid season unless someone throws out a racial or gender slur. but i don't think this team will be back next year. maybe tirico will survive. but they have the big shoes of madden and michaels to fill. and they are not up to the challenge. i like 2 man booths better anyway.

Answer 5

Kornheiser sucks. He's obnoxious and he starts to sound like a whiney jew after awhile. Its just a matter of time before Joe Theisman beats his *** on national TV.

Answer 6

I think tony k is gonna be great announcing football!! joe theisman talks about how everything relates to something he did when he played, boring.

Answer 7

Never liked Theisman. Kornheiser may be OK, but we will see.

Answer 8

Man that was going to be my question. They suck, they repeat each other and argue over the gayest sh*t it was painful to listen to. Those guys and John Madden seriouly need to just let someone from sportscenter do the announcing.

Like Dan Patrick, Stewart Scoot and Rich Eisen should be the Monday night crew. That would be sick. I wouldn't care who was playing I'd watch MNF for sure.

Noooo we have to get the Old stuffy white guys that have more opinions about the most uninteresting crap on the planet.

Answer 9

Joe has always been hard to stomach - he acts like such a hard guy and refuses to discuss two sides to an issue. I like Tony though, but it doesn't seem to work while Joe tries to suck all the fun out of the booth.

No changes will be made in-season.

Answer 10

im a big fan of the show PTI..i think korneheiser is great..hes funny and bashes on people and knows what he is talking about...theisman is decent as well..its hard to put anyone up against john madden just say and think they will be doing great...i think they will last once they become more comfortable giving live analysis.
