Okay, so it’s been 10 weeks and Monday Night Football has been able to at least establish its identity. Which is?
I’ve watched every single MNF game from front to back this season and I’m here to say after 10 weeks that I have no clue what ESPN is trying to accomplish. I don’t get Tony Kornheiser’s role, the floating scoreboard at the bottom of the TV screen and why MNF hasn’t evolved the way Sunday Night Football has. Please ESPN, stick the scoreboard back up in the left hand corner where it’s out of the way and use a flex schedule like SNF does so we don’t get Seattle-Oakland again, okay?
Kornhesier is a mess. Is he there to attract the common fan? To the extreme fan, his comments are useless and never hold any real substance. It’s obvious he isn’t a true fan and I can say this by the way he goes on PTI and says “Hey (Mike) Wilbon, I’m watching football now, because as you know, I’m doing MNF!” What? You’re watching football now? Aren’t you a sports writer? Don’t you work in sports? You’re watching football now!
If I wanted to hear an announcer talk about who is on their fantasy team every week, I would have my friends do the game. At least I would know actual fans of the sport would be covering the game.
