Of all the sideline reporters, Bonnie Bernstein and Armen Keteyien were the least annoying, which is saying a lot. Unlike Suzy Kolber, they don’t make you want to shove a screwdriver through your eardrum. Unfortunately, CBS announced that Bernstein is gone; and Keteyien will probably be leaving as well.
Since Al Michael is jumping ship to join Madden on NBC, the Monday Night Football crew on ESPN will be Theisman, Mike Tirico, and Tony Kornheiser. This isn’t exactly a dream team but Tirico was solid in the Sunday night game he did last year and anyone is better than Paul Maguire and Mike Patrick.
Finally, Emmitt Smith is out with the NFL Network. He wasn’t ever on much anyway and is now officially gone.
