Joe Theismann, who was fired by ESPN as a Monday Night Football analyst this off-season, thinks so. And he should probably know, having shared the booth with Tony Kornheiser for a brief, yet apparently excruciating, period. In an interview with Metro Boston News today, Theismann spilled some dirt on the increasingly kooky Kornheiser:

Tony is extremely neurotic. … I believe, 100 percent that you cannot insult the football fan. “Monday Night Football” is about football, and I hope that they continue to deliver that product to the fan. “Monday Night Football” cannot be an extension of “Pardon The Interruption,” because the game is too important.

Theismann, you see, believes that Kornheiser has dumbed down Monday Night Football (yes, apparently that’s possibly) by injecting a little “humor” into the game.

Meanwhile, others are disappointed by Kornheiser’s continued reign because they say he often “showed up to the Monday night booth ill-prepared, ignorant of even the most basic facts about the teams, and relying solely on scripted lines for his lame attempts at humor.”

Just minutes ago on the program: 

Tony Kornheiser: “The e-mail box was jammed with naughty photos of an American Idol contestant.”

Micheal Wilbon: “Don’t go there–”

Tony Kornheiser: “–but we managed to find some G-rated material as well.”

Micheal Wilbon: “Why do you want to try to expose this young woman?”

Pardon the Interruption anchor Tony Kornheiser’s Wikipedia page has been locked due to vandalism within moments of telling PTI co-host Michael Wilbon that he never checks his Wiki page.

That’s probably a good thing for Tony since his vandals wrote earlier that Kornheiser “began his career giving it in the ass to Lorelle in New York City.”

Around the Horn host and Pardon the Interruption statboy Tony Reali proudly displayed his Catholic team spirit today. (Either that, or he forgot to wash his forehead.) Go Tony!
