Monday Night Foot-in-Mouthball

Watched as much as I could stand of Monday Night Football and don't know or care who won. However, somebody should start an over/under on how many words ESPN will allow Ron Jaworski to say during a game. As I fear, MNF newcomer Jon Gruden Would.Not.Shut.Up. "Jaws" was virtually benched while rookie Gruden got all the snaps.

As though Gruden's stentorian, mike-hogging, sandpaper-on-eardrums voice were not tiresome enough, play-by-play man Mike Tirico practically fellated "Chuckie" on air. "Jon, how did you know when ... ?" "Jon, why is it that ... ?" (Never mind several verbal tributes Gruden paid to his own gridiron perspicacity.) Unfortunately, the oleaginous Tirico did not -- to my knowledge -- ask, "Jon, how did it feel to get your ass fired by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers?" Or perhaps, "Jon, do you realize how obnoxious you are and that this why is you have so many enemies in the NFL?"

Sigh. I miss Tony Kornheiser. Hell, I'd even be willing to put up with John Madden again. I'm that desperate. And it'd keep Frank Caliendo in business, which is never a bad thing.

I haven't seen the new booth, but what you've reported does not surprise me in the least. Tirico like many other ESPN alum have become pure comedy in their ability to sports journalism. So much so that I dread watching anything ESPN related. Thankfully though it's not Chris Berman fellating in the booth, as we got enough of that during the NFL draft, not to mention the fact that he looked like a rookie during that broadcast, incapable of dealing with the feeds into his ear and hosting the show.

I so miss Al Michaels, Dierdorf, and Frank Gifford.

LOL. Last night at the beginning of the 2nd Qtr, I muted the sound. I couldn't take it any more. I am getting the distinct impression that ALL three are being paid by the spoken word. I am glad to read it's not just me who think the two commentators are annoying. P.S. Keep Mike Tirico and launch the other two for some one else. Anyone. Please?

Oh, how refreshing to see an "oleaginous" used in a blog, especially in the same para as a "fellated" and an "ass".
