MNF - Bengals @ Colts

Freeney is just taking off upfield each play. I hope the offensive coordinator sees that and just runs to him on every play.

Nevermind, Colts rush defense looks normal. Damn you Colts, try not to make stupid mistakes like muffing punts.

God does not want the Colts to win, that should be obvious. You hold them to a FG and score a TD. Then after a defensive stop (something I'm thinking Colts' fans don't understand any more) you muff a punt??? God hates the boys in blue, pretty much the only answer.

OT - During commercials I have been flipping over to NBC to watch Identity. What a [censored] mistake, how does this even get on the air?

The celeb interviews are beyond annoying.


Celeb shows up = I mute the TV.


It's not all movie stuff though, is it?
They had one of the Desperate Housewives on one week I think.
Jeff Gordon and Jay-Z were a couple other non-movie guys they had.


I think it's ESPN's attempt to keep the old MNF tradition in some ways and make it a big event somehow.

Howard Cosell's in-game interviews with John Lennon was pretty famous.
They also had Vice-Pres Spiro Agnew and Pres Bill Clinton (and I think Reagan when he was governor).

So their weekly celeb thing just seems to be their annoying way of forcing one of the more annoying MNF 'traditions' on us.

But instead it comes off as worse than an interview on the Jay Leno show...and it interrupts the freaking game I'm trying to watch.

Going back to the 'good old MNF formula' is perhaps the logic of why they added a 'personality' non-player type guy like Kornheiser to the 3-man booth.


Crap. They went to commercial break and came back and Matthew is still in the booth with them.

I need to get satellite radio so I can listen to those guys instead.

Please ESPN, next year no more guests.

Manning sets the turf on fire, ahahhahahha.

I hate you for bringing this up. I just found myself watching it for the past 10 minutes and missed the majority of this Colts drive. [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

WTF was Kornheiser saying at the beginning about the 'WHO DEY' thing?

He said, "I thought it was 'WHO DAT' in New Orleans...but in Cincy I guess it'ss 'WHO DEY."


Kornheiser - WTF, Cincy has had the WHO DEY cry for a long freaking time. I was pretty sure it was longer than New Orleans had WHO DAT.
IIRC, the WHO DEY thing was huge somewhere around 1988 when Boomer and Sam Wyche were on their way to the SuperBowl.


I don't think it was around in the Super Bowl 16 days when they beat SD in that frozen-field AFC championship with Ken Anderson and Forrest Gregg.

The Saints were 12-3 in 1987, and I'm virtually certain they had 'WHO DAT?' that year. I don't know if that was the first usage, though.

[SuperUberBob]

The more Tony Kornheiser talks, the more and more irrelevant his existence is to MNF.

[MicroBob]

yeah, I wasn't sure which team got theirs first.

The point remains though that Kornheiser was acting like the WHO DEY thing was practically a 'new' thing and that is hardly the case.

Although you certainly didn't hear it very much through the 90's since the answer was, "ummmm...EVERYBODY thinks they'll beat dem Bengals."
