Monday Night Football will have a new broadcast team when it debuts on ESPN in 2006. Mike Tirico, Joe Theismann and Tony Kornheiser will man the booth and Suzy Kolber and Michelle Tafoya will be the sideline reporters. You might know Tony from the
Pardon The Interuption (PTI) show one ESPN daily @ 5:30pm. (You can also listen to him on XM radio channel 152 daily from 11am.) Tony is my man! This will be so much better than the failed Dennis Miller experiment. Tony actually has a history in sports and Mike Tirico is a class act. Suzy and Michelle are two of the best and as for Joe, well, I'm sure we'll see a few more clips of his busted leg.

Tirico is indeed a class act and Tony certainly is one of my favorites, Joe Thiesmann is tolerable. I guess someone has to say it so I will go out there and be the man that I really am, WHAT'S THE DEAL WITH CHICKS ON THE SIDELINES? There I said it. I am not trying to be insulting here but you usually have only attractive females roaming the football sidelines. I mean to me they appear to be nothing but tokens and to me that is an insult to their character and ability! Give them the real jobs that they are longing for..........................................NOPE, not going there! B4T
In 1998, Lesley Visser became the first woman on Monday Night Football. Visser was followed by several women on the sideline who were perceived as "eye candy," none of whom affected the ratings. Most notably Melissa Stark who joined the cast with Dennis Miller in 2000 & 2001.
That's why I don't mind so much having Suzy Kolber and Michelle Tafoya. Neither one could be said to be "eye candy" and both have been doing sports for quite some time. I think they did a good job during the Superbowl and will make a fine edition.
Besides, who really wants to do sideline reporting anyway? It's a thankless job and at least it isn't Tony Sirugusa!!!
very orange and bald...
