And, three years longer than he should have.At least Kornheiser lasted one year longer than Dennis Miller did.
They should bring back Paul McGuire. He was great on SNF when ESPN had it and they are wasting him on the college telecasts by having him ride on the camera truck. Bring him back to the NFL where he can call out boneheaded plays.
I'll vote for dull. I've never been a Tirico guy.
I wish ESPN could lure Greg Gumbel away from CBS. He's behind Jim Nantz on their announcing depth chart.
Dennis Miller (who is NOT funny) and Tony K (who is) were attempts by ABC/ESPN to recapture the "event" nature of MNF. Something that was just a function of the 3 channel world and cannot be remade.
Now we just will see a standard coverage of just another game.

I like the 3 man concept as long as there is good chemistry. I'm still confused over the Gruden hiring though. He always came across as kind of a jerk. I think only Belichick is more of a grouch.
I have always liked Gruden
I'm glad to see him in the booth.
Normally when you take a job like this, you do it for a few years and the more your seen the more offers you get, but I hardly think Gruden would be lacking oppertunities if he wanted to coach.
who was better than Rush Limbaugh. Who cares about this one is better than that one when they're really not good enough to be there in the first place??
I never could stand Miller's delivery. When he used to do Weekend Update on SNL, I would repeat the material in my head but in the voice of other comedians, and that way it sounded pretty good. Similarly, there are a lot of times I hear a guy delivering a stand-up, opening monologue that is bombing, but if I visualize Carson delivering the same material, with his timing and facial expressions, it becomes good material.
In fairness to Miller, I'm pretty sure he was the first guy I heard make fun of Hawaii 5-0, and that one, I'd like to hear again.
i agree. personally i like the decision to put in gruden. he expressed himself very well during the NFL draft and i think he has what it takes. we'll see........
+1
Even though that wasn't an actual game broadcast I also feel he did a good job (for the hour or so that I watched....)
+1. Plus he has legitamite first hand experience and knowledge of the game. His insight will be 10x better than the comb-over clown he's replacing.
Interesting development in the Gruden story:
