[QUOTE="Greg C., post: 112330, member: 195"] So what does everyone think of the Monday Night Football crew this year? I have to say that, although they were completely putrid in the preseason, they have been less bad in the regular season. Joe Theismann is not nearly as bad now that he is free of Paul Maguire. (And if you've heard Maguire broadcasting college games, you know that he still sucks as much as ever.) I think Theismann has taken on almost an "elder statesman" role now because he knows he's the only guy in the booth who can provide much insight into the game, and he no longer has Maguire carping at him all the time. Theismann has been a pleasant surprise, and this is coming from someone who REALLY hated him before this season. Tirico is serviceable as a play-by-play guy. Nothing special, but that's okay. He narrates the action and stays out of the way most of the time. As for Kornheiser, he seems to be trying too hard to make an impression. I think it's because he's a talk radio guy. He makes a lot of extreme statements, and I don't think he really believes them. It's like he's just trying to stir things up. He also tends to state the obvious. Maybe he'll get more comfortable in the booth as the season goes on, but I doubt it. They need to bring in someone solid next year, like Dan Fouts. What I really hate about the broadcasts, though, is the overproduction. They can hardly ever show two plays in a row without some sort of stupid feature that's supposed to show us how hard they are working to provide us with top-quality entertainment. Hey guys, I've got some advice for you: Just relax, point your cameras at the damn game, and let us watch it! We can do without all the stupid interviews too. I don't need to know what Hank Williams, Jr., thinks about ANYTHING, and for that matter, I don't much care what Emmitt Smith thinks either. Save that crap for halftime. My thumb gets tired from hitting the mute button all the time. I can't concentrate on a ballgame when the audio is completely unrelated to the action on the field. [/QUOTE]
