Theismann-Kimmel, BFF
Speaking of MNF ... We can't say our mouths were necessarily watering over a potential Jimmy Kimmel-Joe Theismann feud, but breathe easy, America: Theismann's not mad about Kimmel's crack about him on "Monday Night Football." More »

MNF Still Haunts Joe Theismann's Corpse
Jimmy Kimmel showed up in the booth of a rather dull "Monday Night Football" game last night, and apparently kicked the dead horse that is Joe Theismann. More » -

Joe Theismann And Mike Patrick Have Opinions On Pizza Boxes
It's somewhat jarring, seeing Joe Theismann back in the booth with Mike Patrick, albeit for a preseason Redskins game. It's even more jarring to see Theismann so shamelessly hawking Papa John's Pizza; we almost expected him to be dressed up in the uniform of a delivery boy. But most jarring, and most upsetting to the world's axis, is Patrick's odd rejoinder to Theismann's pizza hackery. These guys really miss ESPN.

What We Wish We Could Bid On At The ESPN Auctions
Tomorrow is the last day to bid on official ESPN items to benefit The V Foundation, which helps cancer research and the ability to recruit in a somewhat shady manner. Most of the items are rather dull. An ESPN employee banner signed by Trey Wingo and Jeremy Schapp! A signed Bill Callahan Nebraska jersey! A signed picture of Len Dawson! More » -

Bad Sign for Brady Quinn: He's Taking Joe Theismann Seriously
Brady Quinn's dreams had just been peed on for 4½ straight hours before finding out he was going to be spending his career in the high-fashion mecca of Cleveland ... I thought we could all forgive him if he looked a bit disheveled. Joe Theismann could not. More »

Your Long National Nightmare Is Over
Over the weekend, Pro Football Talk reported that everybody's favorite mathematician Joe Theismann was likely out as Monday Night Football "analyst," with his likely replacement being the infinitely superior Ron Jaworski. Today, The New York Times gets in on the act, confirming it with ESPN sources. And now ESPN has confirmed it as well, publicly. More » -

Not Exactly Thrilling NFL Action
We are always hesitant to grouse and grumble about the low excitement level of a particular NFL game and use it as an opportunity to make some larger statement about the game itself; one of the more random things about sports is that sometimes an individual game will just stink, and it's no reflection on the sport itself or the players participating. You can bring two good teams together, and sometimes, bad play will just result. That doesn't mean it's not fun; it's still sports, and it's still better than dealing in spreadsheets or doing a sales call. More »

Kornheiser's Big Debut On MNF; Hey, Watch Those Hands, Tirico
This tastefully choreographed publicity shot of what can probably best be described as "Mike Tirico Microphone Bukkake" signifies one thing: The new ESPN "Monday Night Football" crew is indeed kicking off tonight. Ignoring the wisdom of CBS banning sideline reporters entirely, the crew consists of Tirico, Joe Theismann, Michele Tafoya, Suzy Kolber and, of course, the wildcard everyone's curious about, Tony Kornheiser himself.

"MNF" Gets 33 Percent More Bald
It was made official last night what had been rumored for weeks now: "Pardon The Interruption" host (and occasional "columnist") Tony Kornheiser will join the booth for "Monday Night Football" next year. We congratulate him; it's a big step up from being the inspiration for a failed sitcom to taking over in the "MNF" booth, even if it means having to spend an abundance of time hanging out with Joe Theismann.

It's Slap Joe Theismann Day!
Yesterday, ESPN announced that its "Monday Night Football" team for 2006 will have Al Michaels and Joe Theismann in the booth. Michaels was a given, but the analyst job was up in the air. And it would be fair to say that Theismann who has a tendency to do to football analysis what Lawrence Taylor did to his leg — isn t necessarily the most popular choice. More »
