    All I can say is "f gruden" and "wasn't matt millen available?" by the end of the season we will all hate him too so get a jump on it.

    It's well documented he has a severe fear of flying, it's why he took a bus madden style.

    Inevitable. Even Jaworski (who comes across as the nicest man on the planet) couldn't help but humiliate Kornheiser in the last few weeks. He made Dennis Miller look like an afficianado.

    I think Gruden is a huge d-bag but now ESPN can at least say 2/3 guys in the booth have strong football knowledge.

    I would love to see ESPN not bring so many random celebrities up there but thats probably not going to happen as long as Disney corp has crap to promote.

    I'd say 3/3. Tirico has solid knowledge. I rate him as good as any play-by-play men I've heard.

    I can't imagine anybody I would LESS rather listen to than d-bag azzhole Gruden. Guess I'll watch MNF with the sound muted this season.

    I love Kornheiser on PTI, but hated him on MNF... He took even the sillyiest of stories and tried to build them up into these epic confrontations. mehhh I won't miss him there.
