I did not notice the names of the men (titled sportcasters) for the Bronco and Green Bay Monday Night game (October 29,2007). I only know that they were irritating and anti-Bronco from the beginning. My friends seeing the game in Afganistan emailed the same thoughts and also the persons at my work out club). They were obviously pro Brett Favre and family from the beginning. Everyone noticed that as well. Yes, Brett Favre is a great player, but was it necessary to make the Brett Favre and Family Hour while they were playing in Denver. Honor them if you must… but at a home game….ya think? This was so entirely tacky. Look at it again. You guys stink. Really stink. Take some lessons … there are some great sports commentators… Dick Enberg.. Dan Deerdorf and others. They can give you some help.and perhaps interject a bit of class.. you need it.
Truly,
Not just a fan of Broncos,
A fan of football,

With what ESPN has done to MNF, they should just get it over with and move it to Lifetime. I’m sure all that gossip, idiot celebrities and plugging of TV shows, would do well on that network. Football? What football?

Now this says it all. Read what Kornhole said in an interview before joining the MNF team:

At the same time, however, he could not recall broadcasting a live game. “I’ve never done this,” he said. “It seems daunting. I could be a disaster.”

YOU THINK? I’ve got news for you dip shit! YOU ARE A DISASTER! Get that arrogant piece of dung trash off the air NOW!

Tirico is decent at play by play, but he needs to stop explaining to us how many challenges each team gets each week. Amateurs fallback to the same content when they are out of their element, and that is obviously what is going on here. Tony? Don’t get me started. Makes me miss Dennis Miller. Ohmigod, did I just say that? Yes, I guess I did. The only redeeming quality is when Jaws actually says something thoughtful, and demonstrates a knowledge of the game. The other two need to shut up and let him say advanced things like ‘cover 2′ and ‘zone blitz’. Sad that it has come to this, but that’s where we are at. They should allow a public access SAP for us to do our own commentary. My cat could offer better color commentary than Cornloser. In fact, sometimes I mute the sound and listen to her. She seems to recognize the defensive packages better than Tirico…

Please…..Someone tell ESPN to stop trying to make MNF a talk show! Save the debate for Tues-Sat (that’s what the rest of the week is for) and just call the frickin’ game…there’s more times spent watching the MNF crew’s silly mugs and their distracting product pushers than on-field action. It is so maddening…At least I found I’m not alone.

Congradulations ESPN, you have killed Monday Night Football. We now have the Monday Night “Sideshow” featuring Tony Kornheiser and his two side kicks. This format stinks. If I wanted to hear from “soap” stars, and walk on entertainers plugging their TV shows or movies, I’d buy one of the tabloids from the supermarket checkout.. These guys spend more time stroking their ego’s and interjecting their half-baked theories and comments, than “calling” the game. We tried turning off the sound but we also have to put up with watching “them” while the game is going on. Enough is enough. Apparently ESPN doesn’t want to hear what the viewers have to say. Maybe the sponsers will get their attention when they find out that when the viewers are “tuning out” Tony they are also “tuning out” the commercials that pay for the program. Can we please sign a petition??? “GOD” PLEASE..PLEASE..Give us back Madden and Michaels

Kornhoolio needs to STFU. And I thought Theezman had an annoying voice. Jeez. Give the inane comments a rest. You are NOT smart or funny Tony! Quit pretending to be. Wilbon would have easily been a better choice.

ESPN somehow thinks it needed to make MNF a weekly Super Bowl. Ten ‘experts’ doing analysis and pointless predictions, ridiculous over-produced theme songs to “get the party started”…ugh. Just give us the game and 2 announcers. Joe T. is gone! Yes!!! Suzy K. needs to be next! She’s even doing NASCAR now, enough of her! Thank God the MLB playoffs are on another network.

The current MNF team is absolutely awful. I can watch any game on any channel by any broadcast team (including local preseason commentators) and not feel the need to hit the mute button no matter how inept the commentary, because generally I can just kind of tune it out if it’s bad and focus on the action… but with today’s MNF it’s really, really hard not to hit the mute button. Their inane ramblings are so distracting you really can’t just tune them out. They just absolutely ruin the game. Somebody please shoot them.

Glad to see I’m not the only one. The 3 in the booth are garbage. Absolute amateur hour. Are they football fans? Or fans of ruining good viewing. I’m not sure if the games ARE any good any more, as I’m so distracted by the crap that flys out of their mouths. And don’t even get me started on the 2 useless “look at my new haircuts” sideline reporters.

I have looked forward to sitting down to watch Monday Night Football for more than thirty-five years. Your network has managed to ruin that in less than two seasons. Get rid of Tony especially. Tell the rest of them to watch the game and let us watch the game and no more heated arguments. Let us enjoy the game!

What happened to the game of Monday night football? The last two weeks suck, first they talk all night about Michael Vick then this week it was the Patriots. I tune in to watch football, not to watch three guys bull their way through the night. Get some announcers that can call the game and let us watch the game. Talk shows are for after the games are done and there is nothing else to watch.
