KEYSHAWN WANTS MNF?

A media source tells us that there's a belief in Bristol that Keyshawn Johnson wants to replace Tony Kornheiser on the Monday Night Football broadcast.

Per the source, there's also a belief inside the building that Keyshawn's flirtation with a return to the NFL are indeed an effort to leverage a better situation for himself at ESPN.

Last week, reports surfaced that Johnson could reunite with Bill Parcells in Miami, either as a player or as a member of the front office. Also, Chris Mortensen of ESPN reported that Johnson's agent was contacted by the Buccaneers about joining the team for the postseason.

The source thinks that the possibility of Johnson working for any NFL team in a job other than player proves that he's using the situation to help himself at ESPN. "He's not really going to go to an office everyday and work," said the source. "He's either on the field or in the booth."

I would have to say the he would be better than Korn, but so would about 90% of the population!

Lord have mercy.

Now if NFLNETWORK replaced Gumble with Key that would be ok.

 

[Chocolate Lab]

Keyshawn must be a Skins fan.

I actually like Keyshawn Johnson.

Extremely opinionated and cocky, but is very well spoken and definately speaks his mind.

Tony Kornheiser is just a total train wreck.

Anybody else tired of the lame "Kornheiser as the idiot, Jaws as the expert routine"?

Sadly, MNF would actually get better if Keyshawn were to replace Korn.



And if Hellen Keller were to replace Joe Theisman, it would get 400X better.

And Pat Summerall still can't get any work.

Wher have all the good broadcasters gone?

This is like asking if you prefer constipation or diarrhea.

I actually get tired of Kornheiser trying to always make Jaws and Theisman look stupid.

He does not care about the game he just listens to what they say and tries to trap them in it later on. He is a complete joke as an announcer.
I don't understand why they can't find guys who know the game like Fox did with Aikman and Moose. I know there has to be other guys like them that could bring some value to the broadcast.

Well, if I have to choose I will take constipation.

Don't have to plan as much around where the next bathroom will be!

I know I am. I also agree with you about Key.

Really?

Everytime I watch the game, Tony Kornheiser is always trying to act like he knows nothing about football, playing the clueless fan and always defering to Ron Jaworski.

Maybe it is just perception.

I wonder if they every kicked around the idea of just going to a two-man team?

ESPN would not give a darn about Key leaving... especially now that BP wont be there as Fat man and Skinny man combo.


Key's next book...

Just Give me the damn MNF gig

I hate Jaws and Tony Kornhole with a passion. They're clowns.


They should really just consider cloning John Madden & Al Michaels to broadcast every NFL game.
