Oust Theisman and Irvin Grassroots Effort
 

Were you like me when the second game came on last night and asked why isn't this the starting team? Tirico is okay. Kornheiser I don't think is particularly knowledgeable but bearable. Pompous Theisman chaps my arse and makes me talk to the tv everytime I have to watch a game with him though.

Michael Irvin? Do you read Tom Jackson's mind wanting to slap him with his loud mouthed 6th grade tirades? Ans why does he have to wear clown outfits?

Anyhoo, join my cause write ESPN (more than once) and if nothing else, state get rid of Theisman and Irvin.

Here's where you do it-

DONE!!!!!

Done!

i like kornheiser, theisman can go, but espn wont release him.

Done!! Kornhole is an attempt to ressurect Howard Cossell the great Jewish Announcer. Unfortunately, like New Orleans with Dildoberto trying to imitate Glaudi, it just don't work. Theisman must have been brain damaged when he broke his leg, cause no one can say the stupid things he says and be considered either sane or intelligent. No one. Michael Irwin is just a common street crack addict.

DONE! :biggun:
I concurr sir.

Ya know what? More than just getting rid of Theisman, which I agree with completely, they need to PLEASE STOP getting into rehearsed arguments. Man that sucks pond water through a straw. Enough already. Bring back Dennis Miller. LOL

I logged in to make this exact argument lkelly. The second game was called as a game should be called.

I, too, went to the link that you provided and voiced my displeasure. Hacks. Both of them. Stuart Scott is a joker too but I digress.

Thanks for the link.

Irvin is full of Coke-Cola
No use for him..

This is a pretty big bandwagon that desrves some airplay-

You know, we probably could do a weekly Ten-Pack based exclusively on the contradictions and other maddening statements offered up by Joe Theismann of ESPN. Here's a summary of our favorites from Week One.

First, Theismann blurted out that Antwaan Randle El came to Washington because he'd get more touches in the Redskins' offense. Yeah, Joe -- the fact that the 'Skins paid him far and away more than what the other team pursuing him (the Bears) offered probably had nothing to do with the decision.

Second, Sunshine elaborated for a while regarding the extent to which the zebras go out of their way to protect the quarterbacks, mentioning some of the flags thrown on Sunday for shots to the signal-callers. Of course, he made no reference at all to the fact that no penalty was called when Bengals defensive end Robert Geathers nearly gave Trent Green the guillotine treatment.

Third, Theismann launched into full-blown hyperbole mode when proclaiming that Vikings quarterback Brad Johnson hadn't made a bad decision all night, only one drive after Theismann noted that Johnson was lucky that a ball thrown into triple coverage wasn't intercepted. ("But that wasn't a decision," Theisman might explain in response, "it was a pass.")

Fourth, Theismann showed off his research skills by explaining that Brad Childress is the only new coach in 2006 to inherit a team with a winning record in 2005. Apparently, Joe hasn't heard that Herm Edwards is coaching the Chiefs, who were 10-6 last season.

Finally, Theismann made a comment regarding cornerback Fred Smoot's loquaciousness, opining that Smoot just likes to hear himself talk.

Joe, we figure you can't stand guys like that. Neither can we.

done

bump, write please

I think this bandwagon can roll. Dr. Z onboard. Read the article to see his explanation how Team 2 was so much better Monday...

It was a shock, actually, because it followed such a dreadful presentation. ESPN seems to feel that only a dedicated dumbing-down of its NFL show will keep its prime-time audience from flipping the dial to Medium or Prison Break. It's insulting. So we got stuff such as that idiotic and endless booth interview with Jamie Foxx, pointing out, among other things, what a terrific guy Tom Cruise is.

So who's on for next week, Mel Gibson? And then we got the crossfield ping-pong hammering of not one but two sideline reporters, running over live action, etc.

There were no insights, no real interest in who was doing what to whom on the field. Just endless debates, talk-show variety, with Tony Kornheiser, the rookie, supplying the kind of humor you and I used to try out in grade school. Joe Theismann is the only one who understands football, but it's just too comfortable for him to take the easy swing and tune out the game, since the other guys wouldn't understand what he was talking about anyway.

Mike Tirico? He seemed OK when he was in the studio, but on play-by-play? Oh, brother. He miscalled the score of the game and it was never corrected. He was routinely off a yard or two on his spotting of the ball. He just doesn't understand it. At one time a punt was downed between the two- and three-yard lines and he said, "It's downed on the two. They'll have 97 yards to go." Why pay attention at all, really? Much more fun to insert your two cents' worth into the debate going on around you.

Miserable, just miserable. A logical follow to last year's Sunday-night crew.

<bump>

I cringe thinking of hearing his BS again already. Spread the word to other forums and friends etc.

Done. Why don't we start a network, offer Theisman big bucks, he leave ESPN and we fold and the check bouces.

Just a brainstorm...

one last bump cuz right after a game you should be motivated

:puke:

i might get the NFL package so I can hear the Saints local broadcast through their website for Monday night...

It's worth it not to have to listen to Theismann. Although, I'm finding Kornheiser tolerable. I think it might have to do with my dislike of Joe though.

Let's find out!!! Oust the sucka! I made my voice known.

PFT on the oust Theisman train-

In the third quarter of Monday night's game, Theismann declares: "I'd say Ben's back."

But then only two plays later, Theismann is dissing Roethlisberger. "He doesn't look as comfortable throwing the football as I saw him throw it last year. The ball's been high a few times. It's been into the ground. He's nowhere near as accurate as he normally is."

Enter Tony Kornholer, who pounced on the discrepancy: "You said he was back two plays ago!"

Theismann tried to muster an explanation that tied the two observations, but it was too late. He has exposed himself again as a buffoon.

I didn't write much, just that Theisman sucks!!!!!

Oh Great and Venerable Mods,
Can you guys sticky this?
It might be interesting week to week.
Just a thought.
Please don't smite your humble servant as I have just sacrificed 22 Falcons in your honor.
RMS

They suck too bad to sticky it...

has anyone talked to someone that actually likes them?

then my Q is why are they still there?


let's keep emaiingl espn and maybe next year an ok team will be appointed

They are still there because folks like us are talking about it, which is exactly what they want. Things will change when they hear crickets...
