Moday Night Football: Tony Kornheiser has jumped the shark!
Did you hear Tony Korncobber yammarin' on about how he wants a Wassilla HS Varsity jacket because, and I quote: "They are the hottest high school in the country". :wtf: Tony has got to be the biggest tool in sports broadcasting. I swear, when he starts his bullshit I feel like pulling an Elvis and plugging the TV with a .44 slug.

OK, rant off. I feel better now.:)

3. Yeah, but it kinda went over like a fart in church.
Thankfully the other two guys didn't play along, so he let it drop.

7. No, not true, because Dennis Miller
did occasionally say something funny. Not often, but occasionally. Kornheiser is only slightly less funny than a plane crash.

I watch MNF with the TV sound off and radio sound up specifically because of him. It's a bit disorienting because there's usually a 6-8 second span between announcement and play, but it's better than listening to that fuckstick Kornheiser.

Oh, and that combover of his should be illegal. Not only is he not funny and not knowledgeable enough about sports to make up for the lack of humor, but he is the ugliest asshole ever to broadcast any sport.

6. He's on a Sarah Palin kick
I seldom watch PTI but recently I've clicked to it briefly and Kornheiser never fails to force a Sarah Palin reference. So I wasn't surprised at all tonight. Actually, I was surprised he didn't know the Wassilla nickname, until viewers flooded ESPN with the info.

8. Kornheiser jumped the shark long, long before MNF.
He's a no-talent, humorless dickwad with not nearly enough sports knowledge to do the job.

He used to have a radio show on WTEM-980 (a sports station) in the D.C. area. He made up for his lack of knowledge of sports by doing things such as spending every Wednesday talking about the previous night's episode of 24, making up lame answers to Tony's Mailbag letters, and having enough guests on so that he could disguise the fact that he knew little about the Wizards and absolutely nothing about the Capitals.

His radio show sucked, his columns suck, he sucks at sports, period. How he got his current gig - or any of his previous gigs - is a complete mystery to me.

11. He's actually not a repug
He's a well known Democrat actually...He just likes the new and different..and to him Sarah Palin is new and different..When he wrote columns for the Wash. Post he was verry funny..I also like him on PTI (him and Wilbon have a nice chemistry)-On Monday night football..not so much.

13. For Kornheiser to have "jumped the shark," he would have needed to be popular at some point.
Best thing he ever did was hold that "PTI" sign in front of his face so we can't see him.

A face for radio, a voice for print media, and an understanding of sports that should get him fired from the local Sportszilla and the Jabberjocks A.M. show.

Tony obviously has pictures or knows where the bodies are buried. There is no other explanation.
