Tony Kornheiser Out At MNF

Posted by srr50 on May 18th, 2009 under Football

Kornheiser says he hates to fly, and there were too many cross-country trips for him.

His replacement?


Ex-Bucs Coach Jon Gruden.

    Wow, first Screamin A. Smith, and now this?

    Christmas in May, fuckers!

  2. Couldn’t he borrow the Maddencruiser? Or perhaps Korn’s tour bus? They broke up, didn’t they?

    As bad as TK was in the MNF booth, he was that good doing his radio show, particularly the last reincarnation of the show that he was doing part time. Hopefully this means a return to the radio for him.

    “Or perhaps Korn’s tour bus? They broke up, didn’t they?”

    Hole will open for Korn this weekend..

  5. Good to see Kornheiser gone.

    Gruden should be fun if he does not go corporate on us (bring the intensity, Jon!).

    Glad to get that whiny yankee off MNF. Will never forgive him for his ignorant statement that Augie should have been fired after Runner-Upgate at the CWS.

  7. This is the one who only ever complains about his neighbors, and his hair (or lack thereof), and his fellow broadcasters, right?

    He writes well enough but he always seems like a last minute replacement who’s bored when they bring him on MNF. Glad to see him gone.

    man, I don’t know if I’d have been able to name Kornheiser as one of the announcers if you’d asked… what a far cry from MNF’s heyday.

    Kornheiser, Dennis Miller, wasn’t Rush Limbaugh supposedly in line to do it too? I believe Howard Cosell’s moldy carcass could probably still do a better broadcast than anyone they’ve tried in the last 20 years…

    “He writes well enough but he always seems like a last minute replacement who’s bored when they bring him on MNF. Glad to see him gone.”

    This is an excellent description. I’ll add that he doesn’t seem to know a whole lot about sports.

    It’s tough to know anything about sports when you’re in bed by 6:30 after watching Wheel Of Fortune every night.

  12. Thank God. I’ve been muting MNF ever since he has been on there.

    It came down to Rush or Miller.

    I really like the way ESPN/ABC has gone with its announcer combinations and hiring practices for MNF. That Daniel Snyder management clinic really paid off.

    Dennis Miller was better than the current perception… WAY better than Kornholer.

    I fucking hate Disney.

    Ag, cool, I agree with pretty much everything you say except your claim that you dictated tempo to UNM. But no biggie.

    The reason I like Siena is that it’s basically the same team that beat Ohio State in the tourney last year and then played a 1 seeded Louisville team down to the wire.

    Speaking of history, when was the last time Duke got out of the round of 16?

    Villanova has something going on underneath the surface. They look beatable.

    Baylor’s playing really good ball with really good players. I guess that’s why I picked them, but I’m probably overthinking things and should have written Duke in.

    Why? Three seeds make it all the time? Put them in a bracket with the weakest 1 seed and one of the weaker 2 seeds and they have a great shot. Especially with two games in Houston.

    “Sometimes, I watch the 4th quarter of the title game.”

    The best is when it’s tied at the end of regulation, and they have a shoot-out. And if they’re still tied at the end of that, they play an extra 18 holes the next day. “Extra innings” is what they

    From the perspective of designing a tournament that will efficiently crown the best team as “champion,” expansion is ludicrous. Over the 25-year history of the 64-team field, the statistics clearly show that the tournament is already bloated beyond need. For instance:

    Only 6.5% of teams participating in the Elite Eight round are seeded lower
