ESPN Finally Gets It Right

Posted on May 18, 2009 by Steve McNelly

At long last, the birds are singing again, the mountains are majestic, and the planets have aligned.  You are probably asking yourself “Hey, Steve! Why so freakin’ happy?”  It could be that I’m graduating in August, perhaps it’s because I landed a sweet summer job, or maybe on Sunday I get to see two of my good friends finally tie the knot.  While this does bring me great joy and happiness, ESPN topped all of that with the following news:

GRUDEN JOINS MONDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL, REPLACING KORNHEISER!!!!!!

Did you hear what I said?! REPLACING KORNHEISER!!! This is just as good as the Ravens winning the Super Bowl and rubbing it in the face of Tagliabue after he had to hand us the Lombardi trophy. Finally, a fresh start to replace the mindless ramblings of the Kornheiser.  A man who has actually won a Super Bowl, not a man who wraps himself in his “I Hate Baltimore” blanket and dream about it.  Kornheiser is GONE, and I couldn’t be happier. I am thrilled that this change was made and Korny decided to step down.  I respect Gruden and believe he should not have been fired, but it will be a pleasure to hear him call our two prime time games on ESPN against Cleveland and Green Bay.

So long you biased, Baltimore-hating, bald-headed, sorry excuse for a comentator.  Have fun with that other windbag Michael Wilbon on PTI.  We are finally free and justice has been served on ESPN.

    TK never really fit on Monday Night Football in my opinion. I won’t miss him. Not sure Gruden will be better, but he will be different. I still think they only need Tirico and Jaws in the booth. Two men are plenty.

    I actually like TK and Wilbon on PTI that’s a great show. He always seemed to hate Billick more than the Ravens. But I hated him on MNF. I think Billick would have been a better replacement than Gruden, but any replacement is better than TK. Good riddence
