This Eagle jock riding ****** bag is pathetic, we all know you love the Seagulls, but you even remain slightly unbiased during the broadcast? We understand you and Andy Reid run the same drug emporium, but your so unprofessional it isn't even funny.

His name is Donovan McNabb, not Donovan, what announcer calls a player by his first name, not once, not twice BUT EVERY DAMN TIME. McNabb gets away from pressure and hes amazing, Romo does the same thing and it was a "good read". We understand the Eagles were missing their top two wide receivers, but you don't have to tell us every time they make a play.

Like Jesus, why doesn't he just wear an Eagles jersey to the booth so we know hes going to ride their jocks the entire game.

I think Jaws is one of the very best in the business. It is a shame he has to sit next to Kornheiser and his "I really don't know this game schtick."

I usually enjoy Jaworski's work. I think he's a good student of the game and I think his film breakdowns are excellent.

That said, when the Eagles are on, he needs to be given the night off.

His bias is ridiculous and unprofessional.

It's so bad that Kornheiser needles him during the broadcast!

Most players turned broadcasters are guilty of bias, but when it affects your job this much something needs to be done.

Jaws is the best tape analyzer out there. I love listening to him.

I did not have power last night so I listened to the game on Westwood One - Mike Irvin & Marv Albert.

Irvin said from the beginning that he needed to set aside the player in him and be professional about his broadcast. I thoought it was a nice touch and he did an excellent job in being objective.

What's sad is that he doesn't even attempt to be unbiased. At least guys like Aikman know how to be unbiased (some would argue a bit overly unbiased).

Just that second a grapic popped up where they were averaging like 2 less yards per play than us and Ratliff stopped Westbrook for minus 3.

Also, he is good w/ the film, but I wish he would have a little fun about being a homer, its weird how its not always discussed.

You could tell who hes roooting for when theres a questionable call or close play that could go either way and hes 100% it should go th Eagles way

I like what Jaws brings to the broadcast. I even like his Eagles bias because it comes back to bite him, which I enjoy. His worst moment last night was questioning why the Eagles defender got a penalty when Tony Curtis flinched and drew a false start penalty. First the whistle blew before the defender hit Curtis and he used both hands to hit Curtis in the face. How do you question that call?

Like I said, I enjoy Jaws on MNF. Maybe it is because my standards have gotten lower over the years. Joe Theisman was just horrible on ESPN broadcasts, so Jaws is a definite upgrade. Kornheiser is a waste of air time.

Our standards have dropped. I miss the days of Howard Cossell. None of these buffoons today can hold a candle to some of the long gone folks of the broadcast booth.

That's interesting. Was Irvin the color analyst instead of Boomer?

I really like the Westwood One presentation. They do a great job IMO... Even if Marv's toupee gives me the creeps.

yeah he was...they kept referencing that Boomer was predisposed...I wonder what that was about?

Micheal kinda laughed when Marv said it.

I probably would listen to Westwood One all of the time but then I would feel out of the loop talking about the hammerheads that do the broadcast on MNF.

I really like Boomer. I wish he was in the booth instead of Phil Simms and he would be a good replacement for Kornheiser on MNF.

I like Jaws but you could hear his Eagle coming out on that PI call against Cole.

After Cole shoved Curtis the ground Jaws was playing the "If a guy moves in front of you, what are you supposed to do" angle.

Does anyone really think that these 2 guys would have made an inkling of a difference? I mean really. Announcers act as if they were missing TO and Randy Moss.

I actually keep my Sirius Satellite Radio boombox next to my TV, and listen to Brad Sham. The TV volume is turned down. Timing is off by a split second vs. TV, but I compensate for it.

By drinking a lot? I have thought about trying that, too. I need to go get a Sirius Satellite Radio boombox and plenty of good whisky.

I have no bones with Jaws. Good guy, of course he likes the Eagles, what's the problem?

If Aikman was the homer in the booth that Jaws is, then he would have been fired by now. Seriously, listening to Jaws in the booth during an Eagles game is unbearable.
