Tony Cornhizer on MNF

Post by Hungary Jack »

No one says less with more words. He needs to be put on a slow boat to China during football season.

I miss Dennis Miller.

I mean it.

No, really, I do mean it. He was great.

Ok, put down the straightjacket......

Here's how I'd put it.

ESPN radio show (no longer) - great
Pardon the Interruption - tolerable
Monday Night Football - not good

There are times when Tony's yammering that I'd like Jaworski to lean across the booth and [expletive] slap him unconscious. Conversely, there are times when Jaw's is talking... well, you get my drift. I usually think that Jaw's has a pretty good handle on the game aspects: except when he starts talking down to the non-former players in the booth with him and gets that weird little sarcastic inflection in his voice.

What was the best 3 man booth on MNF?

And Gifford and Meredith, yes.

And Leroy is right about Tony K on ESPN Radio. Classic. Epic. Affirmation, baby. Know your Heads. Larry Beil Limbo Stick. Who Wants To Be Thousandaire? No athlete interviews. Never ask Tony " how ya doing ", or you would be "banned from the Tony Kornheiser Show".
