Joe Theismann, obviously bitter at being axed from the Monday Night Football booth, has ripped his ex-colleague, Ron Jaworski by saying that he was put there to be Tony Kornheiser's puppet.

Hey Joe, wake up and smell the coffee. You were lucky to have had that job(including the ESPN gig) as long as you did.

You were a loudmouth who never shut up, and often said things that made no sense. I loved Theismann as a player but as good as he was as a player, he was that bad as an announcer.

So Joe, for once in your life, just give it a rest.

Is there anybody on this planet who liked Theismann as an announcer?

i didnt mind him ...... which is to say he didnt really annoy me ..... only few have done that ... Dennis Miller .. Kornhieser .... i dont think a 3 person booth ever really works well

i like someone quick and smart to call the game like Tirico or Micheals ... then an intelligent football player is ok to help explain things and point out something i may have missed

i think its on ESPN, a feature i really like, a yellow line tracker for replays .... shows you exactly where the highlighted player is going to run, makes it much easier to see their point imo

I like Jaworski a LOT better than Theisman. Joe T may have annoyed me more than any announcer ever did.

Shut up Joe!

The main difference between Theismann and Jaworski is Theismann sounded a lot like he talked DOWN to people while Jaworski doesn't. In fact, since Jaws has had a lot more experience analyzing and breaking down film, he sounds more knowledgeable on explaining the offenses and defenses than Theismann ever did! I like Jaws a lot more than Theismann.

Now if it weren't for the fact that ESPN owns the rights to MNF, Kornheiser would be strictly on PTI and not on MNF! I don't think Kornheiser belongs in the booth with Tirico and Jaws because he doesn't really contribute to the broadcast and he's not even funny! I don't know who came up with the three-man crew but it's really not needed... it's one man too many and in this case, Kornheiser just doesn't belong!

Isn't Theismann doing college games?
