Sadly, it looks like he got banned from MNF for that comment.

johnnyshaka · 10-18-2007, 01:51 PM

Why "ban" him and make a big stink out of it? Why not just take the "upper" road and just not have Jimmy Kimmel back in the booth as a standing order among producers?

rkmsuf · 10-18-2007, 01:54 PM

He should have gone for some Tirico jokes.

Because he broke a long-standing MNF guest announcer policy by actually saying something related to football.

I guess I don't know why they hired Jimmy Kimmel to begin with. What did they want him to do? Sing a song?

As I said in the other thread, if this isn't what they wanted, then they hired the wrong guy.

chinaski · 10-18-2007, 04:12 PM

On Tom Brady - "What impressed me most is that he could impregnate two models".

lol, zing.

korme · 10-18-2007, 04:27 PM

He was on MNF this past Monday?

I was watching the MLB playoffs and kinda checking the score of the MNF game and didn't even notice.

JPhillips · 10-18-2007, 04:38 PM

MNF is still on.

I didn't even notice.

cartman · 10-18-2007, 05:31 PM

I was always amazed that Theisman would have anything to do with MNF, considering his playing career ended in such a brutal and public way on MNF.

If you're talking about MNF, they didn't so much hire him as they were using those spots to basically advertise Kimmel's late show.

!Synergy!

really? never knew that. he really should have made reference to that every once in a while

Pyser · 10-18-2007, 06:09 PM

i enjoyed charles barkleys time in the booth earlier this year.

Kimmel mentioned this lat year when Joe was still in the booth, asking "How's the leg, Joe?" Great stuff.

Wolfy · 10-18-2007, 08:55 PM

MNF is terrible....it smells of cheap marketing suits. I'd rather watch the 3rd string FOX crews than that garbage.

Rizon · 10-18-2007, 09:01 PM

Jimmy Kimmel is irrelevant as far as comedy goes. The guy just doesn't have an ounce of it in his body. Boring as hell.

JonInMiddleGA · 10-18-2007, 10:03 PM

Y'know, it's possible more people heard about this afterwards than saw it live.

The early-departing fans in the Georgia Dome weren't the only ones who couldn't bear to watch the Falcons on Monday night.

The Falcons' uncompetitive 31-10 loss to the New York Giants drew the lowest national television rating in the 37-year history of "Monday Night Football.

The ESPN telecast posted a 5.7 Nielsen rating, meaning just 5.7 percent of U.S. television households tuned in.

Never in the storied history of "Monday Night Football," which aired on ABC from 1970 through 2005 before moving to cable last year, had a game been so ignored.

The previous low "MNF" rating was 5.9 for last month's 49ers-Cardinals game, which had the extenuating circumstance of beginning at 10:30 Eastern time as the back end of an opening-week doubleheader.

"MNF" is stuck with another Falcons game on Dec. 10, when New Orleans plays here. That's the same day that Michael Vick, the one-time ratings-boosting quarterback, is to be sentenced in federal court."

Big Fo · 10-18-2007, 10:16 PM

Baseball playoffs (though not many people watch that either, perhaps many sports fans that would otherwise be watching MNF watched them) + the Falcons being horrid + no Vick + MNF ratings in a general decline makes it less surprising.

But he does possess the only funny bone in Sarah Silverman's body.

Kodos · 10-19-2007, 09:24 AM

I actually think that the addition of Fouts this season has been a step up from last year. Trading Fouts for Theisman is a no brainer. Now if they'd cut Kornheiser, it'd be pretty decent.

Hate the booth guests, although Barkley was okay. At least he gave insight into what it's like being a star player in Philly.

don't they have the flex game now so they can swap it out?

JeeberD · 10-19-2007, 10:42 AM

I think they can only use the flex game the last half of the season...

Mustang · 10-19-2007, 10:44 AM

I don't even make it a point to watch MNF anymore unless I'm flipping through the channels and remember it's on.

duckman · 10-19-2007, 10:45 AM

I think NBC only has the flex schedule. ESPN is stuck with the games they have on their TV schedule.

great, that game is gonna turn into a 3.5 hour monolouge by Kornheiser about Vick and his sentancing

RendeR · 10-19-2007, 12:41 PM

I love Dan Fouts anouncing, and I like Kornhasenffefer-whateverf=thefuck his name is. I really hate the guests in the booth bullshit and the never ending parade of ABC advertising their shows and talking about everything OTHER than the footbal game.

Its not an awards ceremony!!! Televise the game and have someone do the play by play. Period.

Enough with this hoidy-toidy metrosexual tension bullshit.

Edited to add that while I LIKE Tony, he needs to STFU for 5 minutes every so often.
