“Maybe this is their strategy to make Millen more credible – by comparison to Theismann, he’s a freaking genius.”
No, swive, a genius is a guy like Norman Einstein…
Theismann is the worst… announcer… ever. He sucks. He absolutely does not belong in the broadcast booth.
I would rather have anyone – literally anyone – else.

Theisman is quite simply the worst NFL analyst in history. No one is more arrogant and incompetent.
Whoever hired him should be fired immediately. Everyone needs to contact NFL network to complain and demand a reversal of this decision.

Theismann is awful, this is dragging down the whole booth. Still not as bad as ESPN or Keef Olberdouch on NBC.

Maybe Papa can shut him up by showing up in a Giants #56 Jersey
That will get JT peeing in his pants as he limps into the booth

Joey stinks, but not even a tenth as bad as Millen.
How you could idolize a complete douchebag who knows less about football than my grandmother is sickening. It speaks volumes that Florio (who often speaks volumes which sound like he knows nothing about football) loves a clown like Millen. This is a guy who could have drafted better if he drew names from a bingo wheel. To hear any kind of analysis from a guy like that is a joke, an absolute joke. I hope he disappears from my sight forever, however there is always just enough idiots like Florio who actually buy into his garbage to keep him employed. It’s a real damning of society as a whole.

Joe Theisman is just plaun bad. This guarantees I will not be tuning in. I am sure the NFL won’t miss me and can care less.

I came to jump on the i hate joey t bandwagon. He makes me cringe when he talks and his homerism when doing redskins games is sickening.
Also, as far as matt millen goes, why would i want to hear what a guy that did everything wrong and ran a franchise into the ground say about football. I just cant take him serious.

@Gray Eagle …
EXCELLENT point!!! I can’t believe teams competing in the championship have to spend the first 20 minutes of the second half inhaling smoke from a halftime show staged to satisfy a worldwide audience that wouldn’t know a first down from a corner blitz.
@CKL …
Ooo with you on Jamie Dukes. How on earth did he get that job????
Ivanrue says:
First of all, Finfan68, We don’t need any “hot chick” who pretends to know football in the booth. There are too many damned women now. The only place for a woman on a football field is cheerleading.

Totally agree. I respect Suzy Kolber, Pam Oliver, and Andrea Kramer. As for most of the others … if they just want to give the boys eye-candy, please hand them pom-poms instead of a mic.

What is truly sad is that my earlier comment didn’t get approved. I guess lil ol Gregg took issue when I said that he was stupid for trying to defend Millen to begin with…..

I have a feeling Joey T. will talk about all the great N.D. QB’S in the NFL and how great he would be if he still played. He should be talking about how the Raiders kicked his ass in the Super Bowl!

“Skid row Joe” is pro football’s perfect inverse barometer. He’s ALWAYS wrong. So set your clocks accordingly.

Joe Theisman is a hideous choice. When he commentates a game, I put it on mute, not even kidding.

Rosenthal,
The only thing worse than Joey Sunshine in the broadcast booth is how much PFT backed off making fun of him while he was with NBC.
You losers sold your souls. No balls to go against the network. I could imagine the conversation went something like this.
Oh, Florio, you are so great, we need you and your blog to become relevant in the world of professional football. We’ve already had to reach to get Keith Over-the-hillman. So here is a ton of money, please take it and oh, btw. Here are a few suggetions for the site.
1.) Lay off of Mr. Theisman, you are part of the NBC family now, think of him as an older brother.
2.) Please start producing crappy PFTV segments instead of this faddy “blogging”, we feel that will resonate with our viewers.
3.) Please bend over and take this gift from Mr. Theisman where the sun don’t shine.
As much as I hate #7 and his fake tan, you have no right to bust on him anymore, cuz over the last 8 or so months you’ve been MUM..
I used to think you guys were the Howard Stern of Football Blogging.. maybe now I think you are more like Ryan Seacrest.

Joe will fit in nicely with the hoopla and overmodulated sound effects that have been foisted on the unfortunate fans who actually attend the home games – - except that now, with Joe in the booth, it will be extended to the TV audience.
Cannon fire, gargantuan sparklers, huge team flags carried about before the game and when the home team scores, idiotic presentations of the home and visiting teams before the game, half-time juvenile antics, scoreboards that continuously flash advertisements, numbing breaks in the game’s flow to satisfy TV advertisements, deafening speaker systems that assail your senses, PSLs, club seating, corporate booths with their own TVs so the occupants can watch the game away from the unwashed – - – Joe will fit right in!! We will be relegated to watch a professional sport that has been reduced to its lowest common denominator, and then be forced to listen to a commentator who will fit right into that latter-day rendition of the ancient Roman “Bread and Circuses.”.

Gotta say you hit the nail on the head with this one, Gregg. Theismann is an arrogant windbag. You’d think the network owned by the NFL would want to have the BEST (not the most recognizable) broadcasters for their games. I like Papa, and Millen is pretty bad (albeit better than Gumbel), but the addition of Theismann makes me hope the sound goes out for the booth again this year.

Theismann rocks!! Hope its the version that did the Thursday night games and not the toned down vresion on MNF!!! Bob Papa is horrible!!!! I like Millen but after being a horrible GM, its hard for me to take anything he says seriously

Theismann is terrible. I’ll be watching with the mute button in the on position.

Keep in mind the same people who hate Theismann also think John Madden is a genius.

“Papa and Millen are both pros”
clearly you havent listened to his Sirius Radio morning show when he allows Peter King to SING (and iuse the term loosely) on air for minutes at the time.
oooppss
i took shots at 2 of your buddies in the same paragraph Mike. i guess this one is heading for the cutting room floor
please note i left all the Millen jokes in the bag for a later date

Alas, I have Time Warner and do not have to worry about listening to Theismann……….
