The Motley Crew that is ESPN

I'm going to try my best to move on from the Brett Favre situation (by the way, I agree with the guys over at Cheesehead TV... as happy I was last night for this mess to be over with, it made me sick seeing him hold up that Jets jersey).

Anyway, if you've had the misfortune of watching tonight's game on ESPN, I pity you. ESPN (which hasn't earned many brownie points with me lately) has assembled the largest group of nitwits ever to talk about football. All I have to say is that the pregame show consisted of Keyshawn Johnson, Cris Carter, Tom Jackson, and Emmitt Smith. Seriously. I've always liked Tom, but hoooooly shit this group was absolutely painful to watch. When I found myself agreeing with Emmitt Smith more than anyone (who seems to have raised his English language skills to that of a seven year old), I almost took a bath with a plugged in toaster. Keyshawn and Cris Carter are more interested in talking over each other and then laughing at their own awful observations, which is eye-gougingly irritating to say the least. Is this just a continuation of the dumbing down of our culture for the sake of entertainment, or is this just the best that Bristol can do?

So if you were able to get past the amazing insight provided by the Monday Night Countdown team (by the way, it's friggin Thursday!!!) you've been treated to one of the worst human beings on the planet....Tony Kornheiser. Kornheiser (or Kornholer as Mike Florio likes to call him) is simply the most irritating, unfunny, shitbag who actually gets paid to make horrible horrible jokes on national TV. Tonight, he's thrown out zingers like "this just in.. Brett Favre has been traded to the Knicks because the Jets don't seem like they want him anymore," and I swear he laughed at his own joke for a good ten seconds. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! And what's even worse is when Jaws laughs with him! I'd rather listen to John Madden babble on about whatever the hell he babbles on about. Dare I say that I miss Joe Theismann? I'm pretty sure Kornholer sold his soul to the devil to be on TV, but he has to go through life looking life Gollum from Lord of the Rings with an even worse comb-over. Ehhh.. can the season get started already so I can listen to Wayne Larrivee and Lary McCarren?
