Bill Parcells to work MNF .. ???

[BullheadCardFan]

WAS ESPN PLANNING A TUNA SURPRISE FOR JOEY SUNSHINE?​

There's an interesting item in the Detroit News regarding Bill Parcells' job duties with ESPN. It appears that the Tuna is telling people that he initially was asked to join the Monday Night Football crew.​

Parcells has been spending time at baseball's spring training (though we could think of better ways to cure his apparent insomnia). And Parcells apparently told Detroit Tigers pitcher Nate Robertson of the initial offer that ESPN extended.

"He was asked to do 'Monday Night Football'," Robertson said, "but he's not going to -- although maybe he should tell you that."​

Uh-oh. Robertson has said too much, and he knows it. ​

We can only assume that this means that one of the current sock puppets on MNF would have gotten the shoe. And the prime candidate for termination would have been, in our view, the analyst whom we lovingly call Joey Sunshine.​

If Parcells had taken the job, the irony would have been that the guy who coached the guy who killed Sunshine's playing career would have then killed his broadcasting career.​

And thanks to the member of PFT Planet who pointed this one out to us.​

I hope this is true .. because I am tired of Joe always saying how good every player is .. I think Parcells would breath some new life in the booth along with credibility ...​

It sure would be interesting to hear him call a Dallas game, especially when T.O.'s on the field. Might be the only time I wouldn;t be sick of hearing about it.

Um, NO WAY. He talks and all that seems to come out of his mouth is 'bluhbluhbluhbluhbluhbluh'. He was awful.

I'm just playing about irvin. I don't want him on MNF.....especially with korny. loud mouths don't fit in well for that type of atmosphere.

Williamson offered Jaworski the job Thursday night at an Arena League game. Theismann got the word Friday. The blog profootballtalk.com first reported the news Saturday night.

Kornheiser said he didn't hear about it until Sunday night, and was surprised. He spoke to Theismann yesterday and said he was "very, very cordial, very supportive and very kind, actually."

The two insist they got along personally, more so over time. Still, Kornheiser said there at times was too much "talking in parallel lines without enough intersection" in the booth, for which he blamed himself as much as anyone.

"I don't think I'm going to be enshrined in Canton based on last year," he said.

Kornheiser said Jaworski has been a "jovial" regular guest on "Pardon the Interruption" and suggested he would be a good fit. "I think Jaws laughs a lot," he said. "God, I love the sound of laughter in a booth."

Jaworski said getting the MNF job under these circumstances is "bittersweet."

The feeling here: Theismann and Kornheiser both have their merits as TV personalities. But Jaworski's personality will have more merit in this particular booth.
