A few points about the MNF Crew

Jaws was constantly playing up the Eagles (as one might expect) and TK was doing his usual clueless clown routine. I love TK on PTI, but he is a horrible football announcer. He tries to tie in things to his narrative (must be the journalist side of him) but doesn’t pay attention to what is actually happening in the game. As much as Jaws’ homerism annoys me when the Eagles are playing, I think he is a good announcer.

TK did keep Jaws in check a few times though, like on the Cole penalty. It was pretty flagrant, and Jaws was making excuses for Cole, saying it’s how you have to play the game. I’m not sure I’ve seen a guy get trucked like that on a false start in awhile.

Also, can TK please stop harping on how TO was the best receiver McNabb has ever had? Everyone knows it is true and everyone knows it is ancient history at this point.

He is an idiot. He should be kicked out of the booth like Theisman was. Korn-nut cannot contribute anything that can be taken seriously.

Gaz0425, you are exactly right. I thought the same thing: “he looks for the internal, touchy-feeling drama crap” was what I said before I hit the mute button.

as Theismann and Dennis Miller hated one another, that was true and utter dislike.

listening to him rag on Cowboys fans in an interview about Sept. 9th 1985. I personally thought singing “Happy Birthday” was kinda sweet,(especially after the bad day he had)

Jaws is a fairly unabashed diehard Iggle. So I’m not surprised that he was talking up the Iggles greatness. But I also really do like him as a color commentator, I think he breaks down the plays as well as anyone, and also calls out plays to look for in certain situations (I’d say he’s better than 50% correct on those predictions)

Kornholio is horrible, with his pre-written opening dissertation of the game, makes me want to puke. He adds nothing to the call of the game. In fact he is far and away the worst “comic relief” 3rd man ever in the booth. At least Dennis Miller was funny and not as distracting.

By far!

Last week TK wouldn’t shut up with Rodgers and Favre comparisons. Everything Rodgers did was so Favre-like and TK had to point it out. On the first TD pass, TK said the Packers fans were cheering b/c it reminded them of Favre. Finally Jaws told him to “give it up” and the Packers fans were cheering b/c they just scored. It was a blatant call-out and TK literally did not say a word for the rest of the quarter. There’s definitely some friction between the two and it’s painful to have to listen to. I like Jaws except during Eagles games b/c it’s incredibly obvious that he’s a homer. Having said that, I’ve been reading TK columns since I was four (grew up w/ the Washington Post) and he’s always been a fave of mine. PTI is always on my DVR. But the fact is, TK is brought in to commentate for the people who don’t normally watch football and like I said, it’s flat out PAINFUL!
