    Absolutely awesome. Jaws should be much better.

    Theismann is the shining leader of announcers that just fill time with empty-headed talk based on what just happened. The number of times he starkly contradicted himself in-game is unbelievable. Only reason he has a job is his playing career and the fact that no one pays attention to announcers anymore (ironically, because of people like him).

    Dumping Theismann for Jaworski is clearly a step up for MNF. I might tune in more regularly this year.

    That's a great start, but why stop there...Get rid of those other two hacks and I might actually watch MNF...I prefer Sunday night Football with Madden...

    While Michaels is still great Madden has lost it over the years as far as Thiesman, he really is not that bad I think they should of dumped Tony Cornheiser for Jaws. How many times can I listen to someone talk about their fantasy team.

    Good stuff. Jaws is actually smart and will actually offer insightfull commentary. Theismann sometimes speaks w/ the hyperbole that rivals Bill Walton and it drives me nuts.

    Phil Simms " A lot of people think that tall guys make good receivers, short guys have advantages too."

    Cliche ridden sidekick " Like what? "

    Phil Simms " Like sideline patterns, keeping both feet inbound. "

    Nice upgrade at one spot. Now they just need to replace Tony Kornholer with someone that understands football.

    Hey, there's nothing wrong with Tirico. Kornheiser though...

    theisman sucks. Jaws rocks. Definitely a huge step up.

    Although I am a Kornheiser fan, he should just be given another year to try it out and that's it. For the most part last year he was horrible, but part of it was him kissing theisman's ass all the time.

    Tirico is good for PBP not commentating.

    Now they just need to drop Kornheiser for Dick Vermeil and get rid of the segment in the middle of the second quarter where they ignore the game.
