The network that ruined Sunday night for you is going to ruin Monday Night Football. On Wednesday, ESPN announced the MNF broadcast team of Mike Tirico, Joe Theisman, and Tony Kornheiser. Now, they could have kept the Sunday Night crew intact, so I guess it’s a slight step up. But now, instead of just annoying reports from Suzy Kolber, we also get annoying reports from Michele Tafoya.
(By the way, someone googled on this site “Michelle+Tafoya+playboy”. Whoever did that is a sick bastard. The only reason why those words appear on this site is because of the story on Lisa Guererro in playboy and how horrendous Michele Tafoya is. Speaking of which, my friend and I have an ongoing discussion about women who you would absolutely never want to see in Playboy but someone would. The top of that list for me is Celine Dion. I’d have to rip my eyes out afterward. Sorry about the tangent.)
Next year will be the first year that fans all over the country pray their team isn’t on Monday Night Football so they don’t have to listen to these clowns. Although the bar is set very low so perhaps we’ll all be pleasantly surprised. Either that or I gotta figure out how to sync up my satellite feed with the local radio announcers.
The silver lining in all of this is Michaels and Madden will be back together on NBC. I know people are sick of Madden but when you look at the alternatives, you realize he isn’t so bad. You know what would be just high comedy? Stephen A. Smith doing football broadcasts. That guy is a football genius.
