This is the best news of the off season.

Now if only FOX would fire Joe "Futt" Buck, my day would be complete.

Yeah, Gruden has not only the football IQ, but a great fiery yet funny personality.
Best choice they've made for that job in a while IMO.

That's great news. I can not stand cornholer on the rado or on MNF. I think Gruden will be an excellent addition. Probably not a long term one though.

I like the Gruden choice, it may be short-term, but there should be some funny moments in the booth this season. And some "Chuckie" faces to boot.

Funny video with Gruden sound clips from him over the years.

He quotes Bud Grant: "Every head coach needs three things: 1.) A Patient Wife 2.) A loyal Dog 3.) A hell of a Quarterback"

amen to that, until the Moss mooning incident I never appreciated how much of a dickhead he is.
;D

Uh-oh.

Gruden was #1 on my wish list for the 2010 off-season.

Well, at least I don't have to hear Kornheiser clamor about celebrities in the stands and spew total nonsense drowning out Tirico's excellent play-by-play or Jaws' good analysis.

THANK GOD!!!.. PTI is great, he may even be a decent writer.. but listening to him on Monday Night Football was awful... he is soo annoying and offered nothing to the broadcast.. they couldn't have replaced him sooner!!!

I think he sort of conveyed the folksy aspect... meaning, he'd always play the dumb guy and Jaws would explain the intricacies.

Anyways, not a huge Kornheiser fan... but I wish they could just find someone and keep them on longer than a season.

I believe Kornheiser had been on for 3 or 4 years already.

What I don't get is why they believe that a 3-man booth MUST BE DONE on MNF.
Tirico and Jaws would have been just fine by me.
