One Down, One To Go

Do you want the good news or the bad news first? The good news is that Tony Kornheiser is now saying that he is done with Monday Night Football! The bad news, he is finishing out the rest of the year. Actually, the more I think about it, this is a win-win situation. We get to continue to hear and see Kornheiser make a fool of himself for ten more weeks, but if even when he gets unbearably annoying (talking about his fantasy team, getting information blatantly wrong, lusting after James Denton) we will know deep down in our hearts that he will be outta there soon! Kornheiser said he has "no plans at the moment'' to return to Monday Night Football next season. "At the moment, in my mind, I always thought I signed up for one year.” Tony goes on to say that he hates the traveling, but he knew he would. What he didn't anticipate was the amount of preparation it takes each week. Wait a second, is he trying to say that he prepares? I ain’t buyin’ it. I have to wonder why Tony would say that he thought he signed up for one year. Why would he go into this thing knowing he wouldn’t really enjoy it, even if only for one year? My guess is that what Tony didn’t really bank on is the ridiculous amount of blogs, articles, and e-mails sent to him that say how much he flat out sucks. Now all we have to do is get rid of Theisman.

Kornheiser is indeed horrible, but don’t take my word for it!
