Kornheiser out/Gruden in on MNF

[jsarno]

Really like Kornheiser on PTI, not so much on MNF. Definitely a fish out of water. He's not really a football guy...sure he knows football, but he is too intelligent to be in the booth, and I think he loses the crowd too easily.
Gruden...well, could care less really...it seems to be a revolving door over there, and they seem to be trying too hard to find a perfect match, when they should just start over with people and stick with them. Stop trying so hard. (aka: Dennis Miller, Korniheiser)

Now that shocked me.

I've never seen anything else Kornheiser has done but he always came across to me as a babbling imbecile on MNF. I quite liked Dennis Miller though, I thought he was genuinely witty and inteligent.

I will actually look forward to MNF now.

Don't be fooled by Kornheisers love of raising his voice and seemingly brash approach, he's a lot smarter than people give him credit for.
Dennis Miller lost waaaay too many people in the MNF audience. He's too smart for MNF too.

Tony took a huge step forward year 1 to year 2. He actually learned something about the game, and i thought was contributing fairly well during the course of the game. What i didn't like was the pregame where he clearly scripted every single word. I'm sure they all script that portion. But with Tony, his real talent is in writing. So it was so over the top perfect and he was losing touch with the joe football fan.

You can only be so eloquent when describing 5 300+ lb guys waging war on 5 other 300+ lb guys.

Who really cares who's in the booth anyways. I barely hear them and yell my own commentary.
