Joe T. takes a "jab" at MNF

[Redskins247]

I'll have to throw my 2 cents in here being a big Theismann fan AND a big PTI fan. I like Jaws commentary, he's very insightful and does a great job explaining plays...plus his demeanor is much more bright and happy than Joe's, which is why I think they made the move to him to be with Kornheiser. I'm sure they thought Tony & Joe would get into it, which would take away from the game...yet it seems they're doing that anyway, just in other ways. I HATE the way they bring guests in there for a whole quarter....firstdown is right....they hardly even talk about the game when they do that!

That being said, I don't like Tony on MNF. I understand why they did it due to the popularity of PTI...but honestly, I think Wilbon would have been much better at it...but I guess he's not funny enough or something. So why not just have 2 guys in the booth??? And how come Wilbon no longer does Monday article of the Redskins game anymore for the Post?? With him not being a Redskins fan, I always thought he did a good job describing the game and felt he always gave a good, fair analysis.

I Pretty much agree with everything you say.

I used to be a PTI fan and even liked Toney on PTI. MNF has completly ruined that for me. Ever since Tony started last year I cant stand him. I cant even watch PTI anymore.

I honestly would rather have CBS broadcast MNF with their crappy cameras and listen to Phill Simms and Pat Summerall then have 3 guys fight over the mic and listen to Tony's rants.

How did Fox ever cornor the market on decent announcers?
