Tony Kornhole out at MNF

[Van_Slyke_CF]

Tony Kornheiser has decided to call it quits after 3 years on Monday Night Football-or at least that's the official version so far. Kornheiser also cited a "fear of flying" factoring into his decision.

We often see the excuse of "wanting to spend more time with family," but I suspect Kornheiser's major interest here is to be able to spend more quality time with his ever-present blubbery sidekick, Michael Wilbon.

Jon Gruden will join holdovers Ron Jaworksi and Mike Tirico in the broadcast booth next season.

Will he be an improvement over Kornheiser? Edited by: Van_Slyke_CF

It would be difficult for anyone to be worse than Kornheiser, but given what a Castehound Gruden has always been as a coach, I expect we'll quickly learn to detest him as well.

My theory about Gruden is that he is so blonde ("aryan" looking) that it's easy to see why he overcompensates for what is a terrible handicap in today's societyby going overboard in the required direction of overt embracing of everything black.

Good riddance, he won't be missed.

 

[white is right]

Nah he quit to do summers at the Poconos and winters at AC...

Sheki was sooooo predictable and tiresome. The few games that I saw(because I don't have cable)were like watching his show with Wilbon in triple overtime....

 

[Thrashen]

I saw Gruden on NFL network during their ubiquitous draft coverage. He made some non-caste comments about guys like TE Chase Coffman.

Obviously, his entire coaching career has been a caste-wonderland. The only majority-white position under Gruden, QB, was constantly shuffled around.

I can't wait to hear his gushing comments about the routinely generic players and boring games featured on MNF. I disliked Kornheiser...but there were times when I almost felt sorry for him. He was like a fish-out-of-water commentating on the NFL (or any sport). He constantly screwed up players and coaches names, and sounded clueless in general. I used to really hate him from PTI....but I'm beginning to think of him as small-game compared to others in the sports media monopoly.

 

[green fire317]

some announcers are just auwful and kornheiser falls into that category.

 

[DixieDestroyer]

Good riddens to bad rubbish! Kornhole(d)iser was a PC pro-caste lackey of the 1st order!

 

[whiteathlete33]

Not only was Kornheiser an idiot but he was disgusting to look at. I mean seriously the guy looked like he was from another planet or something. We need more guys like Aikman.

 

[Jack Lambert]

Yeah, I won't miss this ugly looking caste whore at all. He could barely get the football basics in. When Jaws and Tirico were talking about something, you could here Kornholer just come in and say something completely random and stupid. Unfortunatly, caste hound Gruden is coming in to take his place.

 

[whiteathlete33]

Gruden is probably just as bad as Kornheiser. We all saw what he did in his years at Tampa Bay.

 

[Matra1]

Kornheiser contributed nothing. His over the top intro speeches before each game to make each seem as if the personal stakes were so high and what we were about to watch would be so important were just embarrassing. His jokes were predictable too. Of course he doesn't know much so he had to joke around or say nothing. Theisman clearly hated him.

 

[Van_Slyke_CF]

I was watching PTI a week or so ago, and Kornheiser and Wilbon were discussing the Denver Nuggets. Wilbon brought up Chris Andersen and opened the floor for Kornheiser to talk about the subject of the NBA and its lack of white American players, but Kornhole was too much of a coward to take him up on it, rather choosing to blab on and on about how much of a difference Billups has made to team.

In some ways I'd like to see Tony Kornheiser off the air completely, but he would probably be replaced by another caste clown or a black anyway.

 

[WHITE NOISE]

Thank God I don't have to hear Kornholer bring up the Favre/Rogers debate anymore. I also resented Korn's constant belittling/minimizing of Jaw's athletic accomplishments. And lastly, it was an insult having to watch Kornholer comment on physical sports while he himself looks like one of Jerry's kids, barely able to compete in the Special Olympics (no offense toward special needs kids.)Edited by: WHITE NOISE

 

[Matra1]

Word is Mike Tirico didn't get along. See http://thebiglead.com/?p=14336:

"ESPN had to send the highest level execs - [John] Skipper and [John] Walsh- to games just to make sure all was OK weekly,"Â￾ a source said. "They were barely cordial but only because they had to be. They were both professional about it. Tony just never felt liked by Tirico. He was always saying Tirico hated him."Â￾

For the record I think Tirico is pretty good. He gets on with the job occasionally displays a sense of humour but doesn't get sidetracked. So many of the commentators seem to think it is all about them, not the sport we are watching.

As I said in my last post it was obvious Theismann and Korheiser did not get along. Sure enough Joe has a go at him - http://www.fangsbites.com/2009/05/joe-theismann-lays-smackdown-on-tony.html

But I don't entirely buy the bit about Theismann being fired for talking about football. Theismann's too verbose to be color commentator. It takes him way too long to explain things. It didn't help that he always seemed grumpy - although being next to Kornheiser could do that to you.

It looks like Kornholer has stuck his foot in his mouth again. It might be back to amateur night at Yuck Yucks for him. Here is the USA Today story.....ESPN suspends Kornheiser for comments on Hannah Storm's attire

By Michael Hiestand, USA TODAY
ESPN has suspended Tony Kornheiser, current co-host of its daytime Pardon the Interruption talk show and a former Monday Night Football game analyst, network spokesman Mike Soltys said Tuesday. Kornheiser is on suspension for comments he made Friday about ESPN anchor Hannah Storm.

On his weekday local radio show on ESPN Radio's Washington, D.C. affiliate, Kornheiser Friday talked about what Storm was wearing on-air at the time.

He called her outfit "horrifying" and said her "very, very tight shirt" looked like "sausage casing" and that her "Catholic school plaid skirt" was "way too short for somebody" her age.

Kornheiser subsequently apologized to Storm and apologized on-air. Kornheiser missed PTI Monday as part of his suspension, the length of which has not yet been announced by ESPN.

 

[Don Wassall]

He was merely giving his opinion. Looks like men now can't say anything negative in any way about a woman, not justabout her body but her clothing or anything else. But then again, Kornheiser is a Cultural Marxist and it's hard to have any sympathy for him getting a taste of his own medicine from the gynocracy.

 

[DixieDestroyer]

Well, he probably was right on his assessment of (fellow caste lackey) Storm. However, I'm not a fan of either of those caste mouthpieces or ESPN. It looks like even ESPN won't give tribesman "Kornhole(d)iser" a break. Oh well, it sux to be him!

Sounds like he was just being a rude cornhole. But I don't have any sympathy for him, either.

 

[Thrashen]

I've written some exceptionally negative things about the unfunny yid, Tony Kornheiser"¦.all of which was certainly reasonable based on his asinine caste mannerisms on TV and radio.

However, he has twice fallen victim to suspension / public scrutiny / forced repentance. I believe in 2008, during MNF, he was listening to a Spanish broadcast of a game (during Hispanic heritage month) and joked that: "I took high school Spanish, either he said he's not going to be caught, or please pick up my dry cleaning tomorrow." His aristocrat masters were pissed, and later in the broadcast he was forced to apologize. I wonder why he never gets in proverbial hot water for his odious remarks about white male athletes?

For whatever reason, I was watching PTI after Kornheiser's suspension"¦and Dan Lebatard (who may actually be pure evil) was filling in for Kornheiser. Lebatard was happily saying how "30 Florida football players have been arrested since Urban Meyer took over as head coach."Â￾ He went on to say that "you can't just get rid of these criminally prone guys and recruit boy scouts"¦the teams with more players arrested will always beat a team of boy scouts!"Â￾

I wonder if Danny-Girl meant to say "WhiteBoy Scouts?"Â￾ Absolutely, he did. At least the obese cue-ball, Mike Wilbon, strongly disagreed.Edited by: Thrashen

 

[Highlander]

Spot on, Don. My sentiments exactly. I can't stand this Caste-clown either, but give me a break. His only "mistake" was making fun of the way a woman was dressed. If he had made similar statements against a man, it wouldn't have even been an issue. Nor would it have been an issue if a woman made similar references to a man. "Freedom of Speech" for "protected classes" only, I guess.

This guy is already a bonafide self-loathing, Cultural Marxist. Just think what he'll be like after he completes his mandatory "sensitivity training"!

It's also a microcosm of what it's like to be a man (White man, especially) these days and work at a large Corporation or government entity in America. It's like walking on eggshells because you don't know what a member of the "oppressed" class is likely to find "offensive" anymore!

 

[WHITE NOISE]

I have noticed more and more that males on television talk programs typically wear conservative clothing,jackets, ties, etc.Their female counterparts on the other hand, dress like whores.

PornHoler was right in his assessment of the woman in question. And It's disturbing that men can't talk like men anymore, especially on an intellectually base sports show considering the demographics of the audience.

This reminds me of the atmosphere in Orwell's "1984" in which people had to assume neutral thoughts and facial expressions in fear that the Thought Police would get them.

 

[guest301]

Rush made a comment today on the hypocrisy of Kornheiser criticizing someone else's appearance when Kornheiser "looks would make a freight train go in another direction". Kornheiser may well be one of the physically ugliest TV personalities I have ever come across and it amazes me he would ever make a comment on someone else's appearance. That being said, I am tired of people being fired and/or suspended for exercising free speech.

 

[jaxvid]

Yes, Kornheiser is deserving of whatever the cultural marxists throw at him, being a member in good standing has never helped a sports announcer (remember Howard Cosell??). This is another nudge in the direction that the cultural marxists want to go. Their goal is to criminalize all speech they don't like and the first steps are to convince people that certain types of speech are unacceptable.
