PuckDallas81 Posted August 15, 2006 Share Posted August 15, 2006 So far from watching the monday night game whats everyones opinion on Tony Kornheiser? Me personally I think he should've stuck to PTI I love him on there but on monday night football he kind of reminds me Dennis Miller but he has more nfl knowledge then miller did. I think ESPN should've stuck with the old sunday night crew. I thought they were pretty good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HailSkinz1 Posted August 15, 2006 Share Posted August 15, 2006 I can't stand Kornheiser because of his anti HOF stance on Art Monk and have boycotted all of his other gigs, but I'm not going to let him keep me from MNF. Having said that, I think he's doing okay so far. Hail, H Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought the old Sunday night crew was the most intolerable collection of mopes ever assembled in one booth. Kornheiser seems OK so far. He'll get better every week.

FunBunch7 Posted August 15, 2006 Share Posted August 15, 2006 Well, the last shot of him in the booth he had his sleeves rolled up...by half time he'll probably be in his under wear with his legs up on the monitor...lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But then again, he is kinda old. Hail, H Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hail, H Tony said Monk should be in the HOF. Joe has to watch what he says around Tony, I loved how he got him to say Gibbs was not as prepared as the Raiders Offensive Coordinator, unlike his other crew Tony is very smart and great with words.

SackMachine Posted August 15, 2006 Share Posted August 15, 2006 I like him so far, he doesn't talk all the time and he realizes that football is exciting enough on its own. He's also very knowledgable about football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OWUeagleMD Posted August 15, 2006 Share Posted August 15, 2006 Kornheiser is the best. I hope he continues to call Theisman out on Theisman's typical color commentator fluff BS. Theisman is the worst booth man on TV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hail2skins Posted August 15, 2006 Share Posted August 15, 2006 I dunno.....I got home and watched about the last six minutes of the first half (turned it off after Mort's Portis update at halftime). Maybe I've just gotten used to the familiar broadcast teams, like Michaels and Madden, and Aikman and whoever he's with (Buck?), and even got used to the former ESPN crew of Patrick, Maguire, and Joey T. But that six minutes tonight just seemed really stale (OK, it is a preseason game). Tirico just isn't that exciting. Theismann is about the same but I miss his banter with Maguire. Tony.....he was OK, but just didn't seem to be adding anything. They seemed to cut to Suzy Kolber a whole lot more than they used to, and had those cutesy pop-ups to get Tony involved in a PTI-ish way. I'm so glad the Skins lone MNF game is at home, so I'll be there. I don't know how much I'll be able to take listening to ths crew this year, and I have a feeling that Tony, although perhaps better than Dennis Miller, will likely meet his same fate in time.

FedExFielder Posted August 15, 2006 Share Posted August 15, 2006 Yeah, why DID they pick Mike Tirico to do MNF? I think there were MUCH better options IMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrimReefa Posted August 15, 2006 Share Posted August 15, 2006 Kornheiser is funnier and less self-absorbed than Miller. He's been promising so far, not spectacular, but he's only starting to get comfortable. Reminds me of Stewart at the Oscars. Not bad for the first time out. By the time the season starts I think he'll be good, and as he fills his niche, he'll be great, IMO. BTW - Joe Theisman has now told us that Brad Johnson and Aaron Brooks are going to be great and he "has questions" about the ability of Matt Leinart and Jay Cutler... :doh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warhead36 Posted August 15, 2006 Share Posted August 15, 2006 I only heard him a couple of times as I was busy watching the Hells Kitchen finale. He didn't sound too bad but you can tell that he doesn't really have the qualifications to be an analyst. Definitely better than Dennis Miller was though.

AzSkinsFan63 Posted August 15, 2006 Share Posted August 15, 2006 I'm sorry but I never thought I'd say these words.... Dennis Miller was better... :doh: I'll give it some time but I don't know mabe I'm just too friggin old and don't take change well.. He is a SKins fan that's a plus!

I watched one episode of that Hell's Kitchen bussiness at the begining of summer. Never caught it again. Out of curiousity, who happened to win? The fat and lazy italian guy by chance?

Simmsm88 Posted August 15, 2006 Share Posted August 15, 2006 He was ok. Anything beats Paul Mcguire. Also what's the hate on Mike Tirico (sp?)? I've always liked him as a play by play. He's on of the better out there today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
112row2 Posted August 15, 2006 Share Posted August 15, 2006 The first half seemed out of sync across the board. I thought the second half was a lot better. Tony is what Tony is.... He can't really be compared to anyone in this role. BTW, I liked the bottom centered score display. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SC3 Posted August 15, 2006 Share Posted August 15, 2006 It's preaseason for Tony K. I expect him to improve as he gets more comfortable. The MNF crew overall was good. The discussions up in the booth actually kept me tuned in to the game despite a horrible game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
