I am sick of Kornheiser sweating his FF team on MNF

He's not playing any better really. Folks in the Chicagoland area have been excited about him since he won his first two starts in 2003.

As far as the Bears going undefeated, it COULD happen. They have already won 2 out of 3 road divisional games. They have a three game road trip in the northeast, and thats going to probably end that streak there.

I say 14-2. But then again I also (still) think the Skins will finish 12-4 and get the no. 2 seed. Time will tell.

I'm not sure how you can say he's not playing any better when his numbers across the board have gone through the roof. He's sporting a 100.8 QB rating. Prior to this year he was a career 67.4 QB.

yeah man i've tried to get into FF but just can't. i think it's kind of lame. i'm glad people enjoy it though. hopefully the craze will simma down!

I'm on the fence with FF. I don't play it, it takes up way too much time. However, my sons each have a team; and I have to say, I'm pretty impressed with the knowledge they have of other players and stats, more than I could ever digest. I agree though, pulling for another team, that you don't really care about, to win is kind of nauseating (sp?).

its not even teams, its pulling for player A to get a TD while hoping hhis QB doessn't toss enough to make you loss (since he's on the other guy's team) .

and beating against any team going undefeated is a very very safe bet. it just doesn't happen.

I'm simply sick of Kornheiser on MNF.

yeah, i like that it keeps me up to date on player stats and who might be worthwhile in FA (less last minute research).

"he better catch the ball next time, he's on my fantasy football team"

he does'nt need to know the x's and o's of the game. he's there more for entertainment then anything else and he is definately entertaining.

And he's a hell of a lot better than Dennis Miller!!!!!!!!! Remember that Fiasco? What the hell was that about?

thats just it, he's not the announcer, he's just a little side show.

i agree, but dont you think he should know more than he seems to know? if you don't know what a silent count is than theres something wrong

don't be fooled, he knows the rules and such. he's been covering sports for many years,football included, i'm sure he's heard the term "silent count" before. he knows more than he lets on.

I think part of the appeal of TK, for me at least, is that he really doesn't know much more about sports than your average Friday night bar patron, and he will be the first to admit that. I feel he has been a great foil to Wilbon's more encylopedic knowledge of sports and sports history.

Plus I thought he always was a great writer and radio host - I have always liked the guy a lot. So that is why it is so suprising to me that I find myself unable to stand him in the Monday night booth. His brand of commentary just doesnt work for this format. I would bet money that he does not make it to season 3.

Dude, he writes articles daily for the Washington post sports section and hosts his own "let's yell at each other about sports" show(fun to do in person, painful to watch). He knows his stuff, but says a lot of stupid shit for attention. Kornheiser just has this intangible quality that makes me want to yack. I hope Theismann crushes him the next time he says something condescending. I could write pages about how much I hate ESPN(but still consistently watch) and all of their personnel choices, formats, and coverage. To me their only saving grace is the occasional hilarious commercial.
