he was terrible, i am not sorry to see him go. the way he would beat a non-issue into the ground was remarkable, often times tiriko or jaws would literally have to cut him off he was so annoying. the one thing he was supossed to bring to the table was writing essays or “looking closer” pieces on random parts of the story lines, but he couldnt even manage to do this

the reason why gruden is an upgrade, is that its a sign the focus is on football, not pop culture, movies, etc. recently, MNF has gotten away from the most important aspect of the telecast – the game itself

Chucky to replace Kornheiser? This is like replacing the jambalaya with boiled boneless chicken cutlet. Say what you want about Kornheiser, at least he was entertaining. And I like Gruden, but I appreciate his coaching prowess, not necessarily his personality, and Jaws already does the former footballer analysis. I’m surprised but this choice, although I’m not surprised Tony left.

Regardless of your opinions, let’s all just thank a higher power that some douche like Michael Irvin or Shannon Sharpe didn’t bumble their way into it.

The Jets Blog should run a poll on whether the readers are:

1. Absolutely estatic that Kornheiser is off MNF
or
2. Sorry to see him off MNF.

Predication…. 95%+ will be absolutely delighted that he is gone.

I remember during one MNF game when the Jets played, Kornhole said even his daughter could catch a Chad Pennington pass, the funny thing is maybe his daughter could, but Tony definetely couldn’t!

Tony is great on PTI but never got it going on MNF. He bored me on Monday nights…… I am a little suprised by Gruden though. He did a nice job on NFL Network and was pretty funny overall but seems out of place not being on the sidelines

That is a big jump for Chucky…..

thank the lord… the guy is a MORON… That Jets MNF game Mangini’s first year he kept saying “this team may be 9-6 but nobody can name 5 players on the team” No Tony, you can’t, which is sad since you do it for a living! I hate him

Awesome. I always hated that jerk. Almost as much as I hated Dennis Miller as an announcer. I don’t get the appeal of the outsider announcer. I don’t need someone who doesn’t know that much about the game to make stupid comments. I want guys who’ve been there and can give me info I might not already know – something kornheiser never did or could. I hope Gruden is good, he has to be better just by virtue of his experiences.
