Rotoworld reports that Jon Gruden will replace Tony Kornheiser in the Monday Night Football booth this season.  Kornheiser stepped down stating the travel grind, and his Madden like fear of flying was too much.

This is amazing, I enjoy Tony on PTI, but in the booth he was awful.  I am so relieved to have Gruden, a guy who knows football, able to comment on the game.  Some times I watched the MNF games in mute to avoid hearing Tony make another dumb commented.

Although I have to admit, he was not as bad as Joe Theisman, and his comments against Theisman were priceless.  Here is my slight tribute to Tony!

I forget who the opponet was (may even be the Fins) but I know the Jets were playing.  Bryan Thomas came around the end at the QB and stretched his hands up in front of the fleeing QB who threw the ball inaccurately and it landed in the turf.

Theisman: (showing the replay) Thomas did a nice job, jumping as high as he could to prevent that pass.

Kornheiser: (again showing the replay in slow motion) Yes I also enjoyed how a player can jump as high as he can, (pauses the replay, draws a circle around Thomas's feet) without leaving the ground.
