I was on the evelvator with them,trust me, none of them were their wives.

Brilliant!!!

I liked Theisman as well and that’s sort of odd because I didn’t like him as a player.

Not Me !…I listen to the radio broadcast. Every since Gruden arrived, it has been plain to see ESPN groom him, at the expense of Jaworski. Gruden has an ego complex & just plain cannot shut up. He feels a need to criticize and degrade his co-workers in the booth.I am not surprised by this move.

Do you realize that he not only won a Superbowl, but he was also the head coach of the Raiders just the year earlier and the Raiders were the losing team in that same Superbowl?

Will enjoy watching on Sunday and Thursday nights next year and hold my nose and turn off the audio for the important Monday night games.

How many of you watched MNF and either laughed, cringed, or had some other reaction whenever Gruden would get heated during the standing discussions after the camera turned on in the booth, and how he would angrily interupt “jaws” on a regular basis, most of the time “jaws” would just stop talking and have an unhappy “come on man” look on his face.

Is Gruden being serious?

Maybe there is something I am missing, something painfully obvious that makes everything else make sense. There is! Maybe nobody else can stand Gruden when he does that, so he really truly honestly did not want them to reassign “jaws” because with a new person Gruden’s going to end up getting into a “fisticuffs” eventually one of these Monday nights.

Tirico is a good PBP, but he’d be that much better at Fox, CBS, or NBC since those networks aren’t trying to put on a show while a football game is going on.

While he was at NFL Films, Jaworksi made his name as a film analyst. With the benefit of hindsight, he was able to dissect a play through all of its elements. That skill is lost on a live game broadcast because he doesn’t have the time to repeatedly review a play from multiple angles.

I don’t find Gruden as intolerable as some, but he doesn’t have the polish as the other top tier analysts (Simms/Dierdorf at CBS, Aikman/Johnston-Siragusa at Fox, Collinsworth at NBC). Too often, Gruden sounds like that guy at every sports bar who has the knowledge but doesn’t know how to properly express himself.

ESPN needs to get back to what made it popular in the first place – top-shelf sports coverage. I don’t need 2-3 hours of pre-game for anything, nor do I need the incessant glorification of highlights – set the game up, give me a technically sound presentation with competent, unobtrusive reporting, and let the games themselves draw the audience. My ideal team in the booth for MNF would be Tirico and Theismann in a two-man booth – and have them just tell me what’s going on without going overboard.

The joke is people bashing on someone because ethy don’t like them for whatever reason.

Gruden is the best thing to happen to MNF since Madden, hands down.

NFL Drone for life!

Whenever the GMeN are on MNF, he can’t help but hate on our players. It’s like he sees Big Blue and craps his pants.

Good riddance to the biggest blow-hard in the NFL.

Jaws is and will always be a member of The Empty Trohpy Case Clan = LOSER.

When Gruden said during an instant replay review that the ref should allow the catch (it was clearly out of bounds) because it was close enough and just was such a great catch, was that a good example of Gruden sharing his vast football knowledge with us?

Gruden is a joke and I have no idea why ESPN kisses his butt so much. They must figure (wrongly) that he’ll draw ratings during those Rams-Seahwaks games.
