Man, I am blown. Tony Kornheiser has stepped down on Monday Night Football and the three-man-booth of Mike Tirico and Ron Jaworski will now be joined by the likes of Jon Gruden (better known as "Chucky" to all NFL fans).
TK revealed that the upcoming slate of games, this season, would have him in a ‘perfect storm that would’ve frequently moved me from the bus to the air' (with him not being a fan of flying like John Madden). Although TK wasn’t perfect by any means, he was able to infuse his brand of comedy into the broadcast each week to correspond with the dead-eye accuracy of play-by-play man, Mike Tirico, and the sharp game analyzing from Ron Jaworski. Those 3 seemed to be a match made in heaven (and didn’t even need to know the words to Ave Maria).
From the times that “Chucky” has been on the NFL Network he has been very good, so I don’t feel that his addition will be a match made in hell like it was when Dennis Miller joined the cast.
All we can hope for is that Tony starts back up his Redskins “Bandwagon” columns from the '91 season.

Kornheiser drove me crazy. He didn't know shit about football and his jokes were wack. Ever since MNF moved to ESPN it's been a charicature of its former self...
