Quote:On a slight side note, how do you guys think Kornheiser is going to do on MNF? I love him (and Wilbon) on PTI, but I'm not quite sure if his style will necessarily be successful on MNF.
Pardon the Interuption is one of my favorite shows on Television, hands down. I'm a big fan of Kornheiser and Wilbon, but him moving to MNF leaves me scratching my head a bit. PTI is all about analysis, and quick whips back and forth. For Monday Night Football, Tony will do good with the quick whips (as Maitre mentioned). But as far as analysis, I'm not sure I want him to open his mouth much. There are great announcers who do the play by play, and I don't think Tony will be one of them. Analysis at the half time? I'm down with what Tony has to say. But the question comes during midgame? If Tony can keep it to short two sentence analysis without overreaching (and overreaching is what PTI is all about) then maybe he'll do alright. But if he decides to make off the wall statements, there just isn't time on air to back it up (and there shouldn't be).
I'll be happy when John Madden retires. I always liked him growing up, but recently his commentary has been absolutely horrible. Remember folks, "I think the team that scores the most points will win the game". Thanks John.
Goodluck to Tony, I hope he does well.
Cheers,
