Tigers pitcher: Parcells turned down MNF gig

Detroit pitcher Nate Robertson seems like a strange source for Bill Parcells news, but the Tuna spent Friday hanging around the Tigers' spring training camp.
"He was asked to do 'Monday Night Football', but he's not going to -- although maybe he should tell you that," Robertson told the Detroit News. "He's going to do something with ESPN once a week."
In related news, profootballtalk.com reports that Joe Theismann is getting yanked off Monday nights. The Web site says a source informed them that another ex-NFC East QB, Ron Jaworski, will get Theismann's job.

I think he would have difficulty with neutrality, when a team you assembled is only months removed from you there will be sentiments.

Maybe only during Cowboy games...but, even then I don't think he is that kind of person.

He's going to be asked to cover the 'boys anyway, because he's going to be on the studio show. Maybe he'll add in some extra jokes about the 'boys in his commentary.

SUNSHINE OUT AT MNF

A source with knowledge of the situation tells us that ESPN is yanking analyst Joe Theismann from Monday Night Football. Earlier this year, the network said that the lineup for the weekly NFL broadcast would returned unchanged in 2007.

Per the source, the likely replacement for Theismann is Ron Jaworski, who performed well (despite wearing ladies' glasses) during the back half of a season-opening Monday night doubleheader and who currently is handling booth duties for the ESPN/ABC coverage of the Arena Football League.

It's unknown whether Theismann will be reassigned to other ESPN NFL-related shows, or possibly to ESPN's college football coverage. After Mike Patrick and Paul Maguire weren't shifted with Theismann from Sunday night to Monday night, Patrick and Maguire landed with the network's NCAA broadcasts.

The problem, as we understand it, is that Theismann received a lucrative contract in the waning days of Mark Shapiro's tenure, and the network is unlikely to eat the balance of it. We're told that there are at least two years remaining on the deal.

Per a source with knowledge of the in-house dynamics at ESPN, Theismann and Tony Kornheiser didn't mix well, and there's a school of thought that Kornheiser would be better without having to worry about tiptoeing on eggshells with Theismann. (And we agree with that. Completely.)

The information came to us in response to an item we posted earlier on Saturday indicating that ESPN had offered a spot on Monday Night Football to former Cowboys coach Bill Parcells.

Stay tuned.

The most enjoyable game crew I've heard in a long time was Terry Bradshaw and Howie Long on whatever game it was they were announcing.

That was a bowl game on Fox. I forget which game though. But yes, those Howie and Terry were great. Their studio chemistry carried over to the booth.
