I'm just glad the Bucs aren't on MNF so he can't directly hate on them this season.

I bet this will be a short tenure for him. He will be coaching again soon.

Gruden isn't much better. He just grunts a lot more.

Great move, Kornheiser was not good for MNF in any way. Now we don't have to listen to someone trying to quickly get in their stupid talking points in-between plays.

I just want Gruden to be half as angry as he was on the sidelines if a guy takes a play off....

Was Tony fired or did he leave?

He left because he was being "hindered" by his intense fear of flying.

Kornhole is tolerable on PTI, but little else. Here's hoping ESPN has the 5-second delay in place for when Gruden has his first "are you out of your skull" moment. :D

Yeah can they employ "bleep" guy they got for the post game press conference from Phil Jackson the other night.

Jon Gruden's voice is an exact match to some famous actor whom I can't place. That's going to drive me nuts all season.

I still laugh thinking about the "unscrew your head line" in that movie. I know....I should go find an altar for such heathen-based laughter. :P

:| I can't believe you asked that.

R. Lee Ermey

now go read up on him. And if you haven't seen Full Metal Jacket, go rent it - and dont' come back until you've watched it at least twice, and have a nickname for yourself.

Oh sweet Lord! That's like asking if Chuck Norris is the guy who sells the workout equipment on TV at 2AM.

R. Lee Ermey is God's answer to Barbra Streisand.

1. you were supposed to watch it twice before returning.

2. nor have you advised of your new nickname. I'm gonna call you Private Gimpy since Private Snowball was already taken.

When I played Midget Football in elementary school we had a coach that would make us say lines from Full Metal Jacket as we ran by the other teams practicing. At the time I didn't get it, but now I think it's funny. We'd run by one of the other teams and he'd yell, "What are we?" and we'd yell back "Ministers of death, praying for war!" I don't think you could get away with making a bunch of 10 year olds saying that type of thing these days.

and there-in lies the reason Americans have gone soft... *sigh*

all 10-year old boys should be ministers of death, praying for war... if only in their imaginations. now they're playing video games and getting fat...
