ESPN Sacks Joe Theismann

[Beemnseven]

Well, he's officially out of ESPN.

I'm one of the few Redskins fans that actually liked him as a broadcaster. Hopefully, NBC or CBS will pick him up. I guess ABC won't though since they're the parent company of ESPN.

I liked Theismann as well. I would much rather listen to him than Brian Baldwinger.

There was a rumor several months back that he was heading to Redskins Radio. To do what exactly I don't know, and I actually haven't heard the rumor for a while now so it may be dead

Theismann was interviewed a few weeks ago on the Riggins show on Redskins radio and when Riggins said he wanted Joe back on the show in the future, Theismann made a cryptic remark; something like "that'll be very easy to set up in a few weeks". It sounded funny at the time, but it could be a reference to him joining Redskins Radio.

I actually liked Joe better as a commentator than as a QB.... The autograph collector wonders if his price will be coming down soon. I know the people that have the autograph deal with him (Sports Card Heroes) raised his prices when he got on Monday Night.

Now that he is canned from the booth, I hope they do right by the fans and lower his price back to where it was.

Love Joey T. Sorry to see that happen

Does anyone have any idea why?
I loved Joe as a QB and as a commentator. He had been with ESPN since 88...why let him go now with no comment as to why? What the hell happened?

He's a great Redskin, but IMO a very average analyst. As far as on the spot film breakdown and analysis, he can't hold a candle to Jaworski.

You know, I hear more and more people throwing all sorts of praise upon Ron Jaworski for his analysis and breakdowns, but to me, he comes across as the guy who's a know-it-all. At times, he goes a bit overboard and I find him to be every bit of the talker that Joe Theismann was -- if not moreso.

I don't hate him or anything -- but I don't really get all the love.

PM me if need be, but this is killing me that I can't find out why they got rid of him. I am a long time Joey T fan.

Times change. People move on. Shizzle happens. It's nothing jaw dropping, really.
