Jaworski joins new NFL Monday Night Football team
Ja-wors-ki! Ja-wors-ki! Yep, we'll be chanting that loud once the new NFL Football begins in September.
Er... Maybe not. Who gives a fuck about Monday Night Football games' commentators team anyway? We watch NFL Monday Night Football because we want to see football and not three old farts flirt with each other.
Well, for what its worth, there will indeed be a new man in the MNF booth. Former NFL quarterback Ron Jaworski joins the still balding duo of Mike Tirico and Tony Kornkeiser on the ESPN telecast of NFL Monday Night Football.
Jaworski replaces Joe Theismann, also a former NFL quarterback. Well, I guess Monday Night Football made a quarterback change on this one eh?

'We appreciate the work Joe has done for 19 years and continue to talk with him about another high-profile football role with ESPN,'' Norby Williamson said. Williamson is ESPN's executive vice president for studio and remote production.
So what's the reason for this sudden quarterback change? Williamson said it isn't about chemistry between the last three guys.
''I thought Joe and Tony got along very well, and I thought the dialogue was good and was conversational,'' Williamson said. ''I think we're going to build on last year. We had a fantastic first year. I was happy with the booth and I think we're in a position now of continuing to move it forward and to build on it.''
Jaworski, who played 17 years in the NFL, most notably as quarterback of the Eagles, joined ESPN in 1990. He has been a prominent NFL analyst for the network and his studio duties will now be spread among ESPN's other NFL analysts, including newcomers Emmitt Smith and Bill Parcells.
''I'm an 'Xs-and-Os' guy. I love breaking down the game. I love the strategy of the game,'' Jaworski claims. ''That's the beauty of what I will bring to the table is that insight of 'Xs and Os.'''
Yeah right.
