Why?
Because the network went and did something so puzzling and reprehensible that it is beyond belief.
They hired Joe Theismann.
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!
Theismann, that great big bag of wind, will join Bob Papa and Matt Millen in the broadcast booth for NFL Network’s eight-game Thursday Night Football package, starting November 11.
As per the network…
“Joe is one of the premier analysts in the business,” said Eric Weinberger, executive producer NFL Network. “With Joe joining Matt, we have two former Super Bowl-winning players who had long and distinguished playing careers before making successful transitions into broadcasting. Joe will add his strong opinions and analysis to a booth that already features two men who live and breathe NFL football. We are sure there will be great debates and entertaining analysis on our games this season.”
Premier analysts? Entertaining analysis? Did Eric Weiberger have a stroke or something? Theismann is nothing more than a tedious bore who adds nothing to game analysis, but enjoys the hell out of talking about himself. Everyone who subscribes to the NFL Network better make sure their mute buttons are in proper working order.
Hearing this news makes me wish Lawrence Taylor would have broken Theismann’s mouth instead of his leg.
