DesperateDerelict Posted August 28, 2006 Report Share Posted August 28, 2006 Do you think it will be Tony Kornheiser, Joe Theisman, Mike Tirico, Suzie Colber, or Michelle Tafoya to say the most annoying thing or have the most idiotic insight / interview? What will it be? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlainThePain Posted August 28, 2006 Report Share Posted August 28, 2006 When it comes to something like that, always bet on Theisman. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bengal4life Posted August 28, 2006 Report Share Posted August 28, 2006 Hands down Theisman. I kind of like Kornheiser. I think it was last Monday night, I forget what it was about, but Kornheiser threw something that Theisman said back in his face basically showing how dumb Theisman really is.

Mosca Posted August 28, 2006 Report Share Posted August 28, 2006 Obviously Theismann, and he'll find some way to use Palmer's injury to talk incessantly about his own broken leg. He's probably walking around saying stupid things right now, as we are working (and goofing off).That will probably be the most irritating thing he says. The stupidest thing he will say will be something like, "Both these teams have a strategy, and that strategy is to score points and win the game." That's what passes for insight in the Theismann pea-brain.Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NYBengalfan Posted August 28, 2006 Report Share Posted August 28, 2006 Im so used to Theismann's Bull$hit, I dont even notice his stupid comments anymore. So I went with Tony Kornheiser.... no reason, just felt I would notice if he says something dumb b/c he's the new guy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rishipatel Posted August 28, 2006 Report Share Posted August 28, 2006 Gotta agree with the majority here. Theisman is an idiot. I don't think he's ever done a broadcast without saying something stupid. I like Kornheiser though. I don't always agree with his opinion, but I do respect his intelligence. He actually seems to know a thing or two about sports, and adds a touch of humor to the broadcast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DesperateDerelict Posted August 28, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 28, 2006 Does anybody really listen to Suzie Colber or Michelle Tafoya, or are they just eye candy? Actually, I believe I've read good reviews for at least one of them, but I cannot for the life of me remember any of their interviews Suzie: Suzie KolberMichelle: Michelle Tafoya Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoosierCat Posted August 28, 2006 Report Share Posted August 28, 2006 Theisman, without a doubt.I'm so-so on Kornheiser so far. He doesn't seem to add much in the way of game analysis...but he is willing to challenge/annoy Theisman. There was a great exchange during the Saints game over Brees and his injury last season in which Kornheiser put forth the rather unremarkable proposition that the Chargers were dumb to play him in the last game since they had no shot at the playoffs and could have gotten a look at Rivers. That sent Joe into hyperventalation mode, huffing and puffing about how you can't bench a QB in the last week with nothing on the line! Kornheiser tossed a couple "buts" in but could never finish sentence as Joey kept shouting him down again and again, and by about the third "but" it sounded like Theisman was going to stand up and punch him. Funny stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bengalboomer7 Posted August 28, 2006 Report Share Posted August 28, 2006 I read somewhere(PFT?) that Theisman is the most unprepared jackass in all of sports television. It's a wonder he's got a job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look on the bright side, no more s**tty stories about Paiuie's punting days Thank the dear Lord. P.M. annoyed me so much more than Theismann, it wasn't even close. I think Kornheiser will be a success, but those little comedy sketches they do with him... "Ask Tony"... are absolutely stupid. I vote Theismann.Tom Jackson is wearing orange and black on Monday Night Countdown. He's the man. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HoosierCat Posted August 29, 2006 Report Share Posted August 29, 2006 And it's Theisman, after Favre's fumble (returned by Jackson for a TD):"Brett Favre did not want that ball to come out of his hand." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoosierCat Posted August 29, 2006 Report Share Posted August 29, 2006 A bonus from PFT...ON FURTHER REVIEW, WE LOVE TONYThough we don't know whether ESPN's Tony Kornheiser stuck it to Joey Sunshine on Monday night for his 180-degree reversal regarding Terrell Owens, a bout of insomnia had us tuning back in for garbage time of the Packers-Bengals game. In so doing, we witnessed an exchange that, in light of our new mission to persuade the folks in Bristol to relieve Joe Theismann of his duties, has caused us to pull a 180 of our own regarding Kornheiser, who given that he was in Cincinnati will be dubbed "Kornholer" for the remainder of this specific item.After Cincinnati receiver Reggie McNeal caught a touchdown pass from Doug Johnson, a discussion ensued regarding college quarterbacks who become wideouts at the next level.Here is, verbatim, the key portion of the conversation regarding the requirements for a successful conversion. (Thank you, TiVo.)Sunshine: I think you need a guy who's short, vertically challenged, maybe five-foot-nine, five-foot-ten with a lot of 'quicks' that can double as a kick returner. Those are the guys that can transition into professional football. To come in and just try and play the wide receiver position --Kornholer (incredulous): He has to be short?Sunshine: Well --Kornholer: This is a prerequisite, to be short?Sunshine: I think you need to be short and quick. I think that gives you an opportunity --Kornholer: What if you were big and quick?Sunshine: You don't have the 'quicks' when you're that tall.Kornholer: Correct me if I'm wrong because you watch a lot more college football than I did [Editor's note: Tony, you'd make a great lawyer], wasn't there a quarterback recently from Arkansas who was the quarterback who then became a wide receiver in the NFL?Tirico: Matt Jones.Kornholer: Matt Jones, right? And he's big. Big and quick.Sunshine: But not at the kick returning position.Kornholer: (Makes barely audible noise connoting "Is this guy f--king serious?")Sunshine: No. Tirico (wisely changing the subject): It's 48 to 17. . . .Tony, you've found your niche. It's to call out Joey Sunshine wherever and whenever he says something stupid. That's your calling. Your destiny. Through your weekly badgering of Theismann, he'll eventually be exposed for the fraud that he is, or he'll quietly resign and find a fifth-tier gig on CBS where the play-by-play man doesn't have the brains or the will to thoroughly and completely dismantle his stupid-ass assertions.So thanks, Tony. We underestimated you. And we're rooting for you to mentally do to Theismann every Monday night that which Lawrence Taylor accomplished only once physically.

aaronburr Posted August 29, 2006 Report Share Posted August 29, 2006 Wow, first time I liked something from PFT. Last year, early in the season (maybe in the preseason), Theisman was on the Dan Patrick Show and said the Bengals wouldn't make the playoffs because their uniforms were too ugly. He wasn't joking.I think I heard Michelle Tafoya say that Brett Favre was strong in his "fundamentals" after the guys in the booth spent most of the night saying he had horrible mechanics. But then she's just reporting what other people are telling her, so maybe she gets a pass. You wouldn't blame Suzy Kolber for her "conversation" with Joe Namath.
