Someone up there was listening to my prayers:
Joe Theismann will be replaced on ESPN's Monday Night Football, says an industry official with direct knowledge of the move.
What a relief that MNF will not be "The Joe Theismann Show" anymore. Sure, sometimes I don't mind listening to narcissistic jerks (that's why I'll watch "Around the Horn" on occasion), but for the most part, what purpose did Theismann serve other than being the obnoxious blowhard? "Well, that's not how we did it when *I* was in the league." "I had one game where I threw 500 complete passes in a row." You get the point. I'm still not completely sold on Kornheiser, but I like Mike Tirico. Here's the prospective candidates to join them:
Candidates to replace Theismann include ESPN studio analyst Ron Jaworski, as well as Bill Parcells and Emmitt Smith, who were recently hired as studio analysts.
Jaws would be a great addition. Parcells and Smith? Eh. Parcells might have some good insights, but Smith would just be more of the same. "When *I* was in the game..." I'd love to know how he continues to be employed.
By the way, here's the latest in jewelry boxes. Just ask Michael Vick!  Dumbass. Who uses a water bottle as a "jewelry box?" Give me a break. |
I think they should replace them all with robots. Like aimbots only with those computery voices.
