Tony Kornheiser as Monday Night Football Announcer

I think the skills and legitimacy of Tony Kornheiser as a Monday Night Football commentator are greatly hampered by the fact that he is in the booth with Joe Theismann. In short, Theismann is one of the worst color men in NFL broadcasting today, and is just not a good fit at all to work with Tony Kornheiser.

Kornheiser obviously is not a guy that is going to give you a lot of analysis and insight into the game... that's just not what he does best and that's not what he's there for. What he is supposed to be doing is keeping the broadcast light and entertaining with humor, as well as using his newspaper and talk show skills to keep things engaging with the other hosts and harbor good discussion (in effect, playing off the role of the Play-by-play man).
