Is this worse than the Dennis Miller era? You bet. Is ESPN going to do anything about it? Don't count on it. Will I continue to watch Monday Night Football? Most likely...

The trio of announcers that ESPN has calling MNF, the corner stone of broadcasting our national sport (sorry, baseball, time to wake up and smell reality), is a nothing but a pure joke. The show is really in shambles. I like Mike Tirico. What's not to like? But he screams golf. Tony Kornheiser is a buffoon. Joe Theismann? He was a couragous, undersized, overachieving quarterback, but as a broadcaster, he needs to be euthanized. Sad to say, but this group worse than ESPN's previous crew for Sunday Night Football of Mike Patrick, the aforementioned QB and the waste of space Paul MacGuire. These guys make the NFL Network crew of Bryant Gumble and Chris Collingworth like Jackson and Fouts.

Now why I even bothering with this tirade? Because I care about football and I care about broadcasting. ABC, the former home of MNF, the home of the classiest most intelligent announcers (with some notable exceptions) which should be the home of all major sporting events. They never should have given up MNF to ESPN. Never.

Ironically last year's MNF team, Al Michaels and John Madden, probably the best in the history of football, were lured away from ABC and now rule Sunday Night Football. ABC's loss of Al Michaels is really a loss for America. Even if Michaels ends up back in the NBC monopolized Olympics where he belongs, the Oympics belongs on ABC which takes sport seriously and not on that touchy bullshit tape delay crap that NBC spoon feeds every other year.
