NS is on an applause kick today.. lol..

Gruden is an improvement.. but too brash for my taste at times as far as a color commentator.. but it could be worse.

I miss Don Meredith or Dan Dierdorf in the booth doing color.. it was entertaining with those two.. Meredith was just a clown.

I think that for the duration of this season, MNF announcers should be contractually obligated every time they mention the name of Brett Favre, to either a) forfeit $50 from their game check or b) spend a minimum of 30 seconds commentating on another player they have not yet mentioned during the game. I think that would stem the flow of insanity.

John Gruden would do a better job than Collinsworth. Sorry but Collinsworth needs to go back to nbc studio or nfl network.

I like Collinsworth, for the most part. He's a great analyst. Sometimes he gets hung up on some point, though, and just won't let it drop.

It's funny, I didn't even think to point out all of the Favre butt-kissing from Gruden and the others on MNF, because I've come to expect it over the years. It was irritating even when Favre played for the Packers. It was actually worse when he played for the Packers, because the announcers never gave enough credit to the other players on the team.

It sure the hell was.. to the point where I would shut off the volume.. great player but you don't have to sell him.. let his play sell him.

I remember when the drama first started of Favre retiring. John Madden was all emotional and etc and then he put Favre on the cover of his game. Both Packers and Jets. I still got the Madden 09 with Favre with a Green Bay jersey. Talk about kissing up to sell his game in greater numbers.

Mucky Tundra (30-Jan) : Now that's a thought, maybe they're looking at the college ranks? Maybe not head coaches but DC/assistant DCs with league experience?

beast (30-Jan) : College Coaches wouldn't want that publicly, as it would hurt recruiting and they might not get the job.

beast (30-Jan) : I thought they were supposed to publicly announce them, at least the NFL ones. Hafley was from college, so I believe different rules.

Mucky Tundra (30-Jan) : Who knows who they're interviewing? I mean, nobody knew about Hafley and then out of nowhere he was hired

beast (30-Jan) : I wonder what's taking so long with hiring a DL coach, 2 of the 3 known to interview have already been hired elsewhere.

buckeyepackfan (26-Jan) : That brings up the question, why wasn't Nixon down by contact? I think that was the point Kanata was making.

packerfanoutwest (26-Jan) : well, he was

Zero2Cool (24-Jan) : Raiders hired someone from the elderly home.

dfosterf (24-Jan) : I'm going with a combination of the two.

Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : Still HC positions available out there. I wonder if Hafley pops up for one
