Matt Millen and Joe Theismann fired

[Bob Sacamano]

Quality of Thursday Night Football went through the roof.

any word on the replacements? I know Gus Johnson just quit CBS.

 

[Midswat]

Matt Millen never bothered me. He was of that dumb jock ilk like Madden. Tolerable.

Theisman was bad. But there are far worse out there that need to go away.

 

[Plymkr]

Good news, good news.

Brad Nessler and Mike Mayock

Brad Nessler and Mike Mayock

Nessler yes, Mayock no.

It just blows my mind that the league's own network has to settle for the bunch of clowns they've been stuffing into their booth. You're telling me they can't get anyone with more talent than Bob frigging Papa? I guess Nessler is finally getting the ball rolling, but Mayock is a curious choice.

 

[sbk92]

I pretty much can't stand the entire network. I used to watch it religiously but I just got tired of the ex-player analysts they have there that really aren't up to par.

I appreciate the all NFL football, all the time aspect to it. But it could be so much better than what it is.

 

[dbair1967]

Nessler yes, Mayock no.

Was Nessler the one who got canned for hitting on one of the ESPN girls or something?

No. He is their top college play by play guy. Most of his stuff is ABC

 

[Bonecrusher#31]

Brad is pretty damn good ... The lazy tongue guy isn't bad either.

I'm just glad they freed us of Theesman

 

[SixisBetter]

Nessler's a pro,although he'll sometimes crowd the analyst a little.

He won't do that to Mayock very much.

Listened to Mayock on Notre Dame broadcasts last year.The good thing is,he's knowledgeable.The bad thing is,he'll be the first to let you know it.

Don't mind too much,though,Millen was fairly tolerable,but Theismann's an idiot.
I apologize in advance to any idiots who resent that comparison.

Was it Ron Franklin?
