"he better catch the ball next time, he's on my fantasy football team"
i love the guy on pti, but he sucks at calling a game.
he didn't even know what a silent count was!
he does'nt need to know the x's and o's of the game. he's there more for entertainment then anything else and he is definately entertaining.

And he's a hell of a lot better than Dennis Miller!!!!!!!!! Remember that Fiasco? What the hell was that about?

i would be willing to bet my house that the bears do not go undefeated. Rex Grossman is playing out of his mind right now. no way he keeps it going for the whole seasonGrossman really isn't playing much better than he was the past 3 season or so (when healthy). That's probably the NFL's biggest myth today. He's still making mistakes and throwing inaccurate passes from time to time. The difference is now that the Bears have a consistant passing game, he's getting more media attention. He's not playing any better really. Folks in the Chicagoland area have been excited about him since he won his first two starts in 2003.
As far as the Bears going undefeated, it COULD happen. They have already won 2 out of 3 road divisional games. They have a three game road trip in the northeast, and thats going to probably end that streak there.
I say 14-2. But then again I also (still) think the Skins will finish 12-4 and get the no. 2 seed. Time will tell.

I think part of the appeal of TK, for me at least, is that he really doesn't know much more about sports than your average Friday night bar patron, and he will be the first to admit that. I feel he has been a great foil to Wilbon's more encylopedic knowledge of sports and sports history.
Plus I thought he always was a great writer and radio host - I have always liked the guy a lot. So that is why it is so suprising to me that I find myself unable to stand him in the Monday night booth. His brand of commentary just doesnt work for this format. I would bet money that he does not make it to season 3.

Dude, he writes articles daily for the Washington post sports section and hosts his own "let's yell at each other about sports" show(fun to do in person, painful to watch). He knows his stuff, but says a lot of stupid shit for attention. Kornheiser just has this intangible quality that makes me want to yack. I hope Theismann crushes him the next time he says something condescending. I could write pages about how much I hate ESPN(but still consistently watch) and all of their personnel choices, formats, and coverage. To me their only saving grace is the occasional hilarious commercial.

I'm not sure how you can say he's not playing any better when his numbers across the board (http://www.nfl.com/players/playerpage/396159)have gone through the roof. He's sporting a 100.8 QB rating. Prior to this year he was a career 67.4 QB.

don't be fooled, he knows the rules and such. he's been covering sports for many years,football included, i'm sure he's heard the term "silent count" before. he knows more than he lets on.
