MNF changes for '12

[Boltergeist]

from the Sports Business Journal's John Ourand

ESPN's "Monday Night Football" is moving to a 2-man booth next season with Tirico/Gruden. Jaws is moving into the studio. SBD has the story.

[Nicbsbll2]

Personally, I like Jaws more than Gruden.

[Jase]

MNF has been a 3-man booth for, well, forever.

[SOJA]

is it just me or does anyone else think that Jaws and Gruden hate each other

[Darth Biscuit]

Bad move... there does seem to be some tension between Gruden and Jaws, and maybe that's why. Jaws is a much better analyst than Gruden imo... Gruden is pretty much a "yes" man... but he's ok.

[Johnny Rockets]

Someone will burn in Hell for this.

[Kevin Greene]

Gruden can be like a stuck record playing the same thing over and over again.

Bad move.

[Brooklyn Bully]

Gruden may suck at play calling more but he has personality. Jaws is dull.

[Stumpy]

I may be in the minority here, but I like Gruden on MNF.

I like Jaws and Tirico too, but, while annoyingly positive at times, Gruden is the most informed in-game analyst football has seen in a long time.

For me, at least, MNF has been infinitely more enjoyable since Ol' Chucky has joined the staff.

Jaws said "poo" on the air last year. Writing was on the wall

I kid, I kid

glad jaws is gone. gruden is THE man.

[Dpantherman]

I liked the checks and balances personally. Jaws would check Gruden necessary and vice-versa. Still prefer the 2 man booth, don't think I'd like either alone w/ Tirico, but we'll see. I HATE the QB slobbering.

I think this was a ploy to keep him out of the NFL (that probably won't work if the right job comes along). i think Trent Dilfer would work best in the role.

Why change a formula that has been so successful?????

[Keep Pounding]

Madden is making a come back.
