MNF Announcer follow up, Missouri coaching

  • Just to show you how bad a choice I think Mike Tirico is as announcer no ESPN's Monday Night Football, I failed, in my discussion of this yesterday, to even mention Joe Theisman, who is one of the more annoying announcers of all-time. After Theisman, Mike Patrick, and Paul Maguire made Sunday Night Football virtually unwatchable over the past several seasons, how does even one of them get the Monday Night gig? Disgraceful. On the other hand, I kind of like the Kornheiser pick for the booth. He is both knowledgeable, outspoken, and candid. He will be a good addition. Did the braintrust at Espn not see the obvious addition of WIlbon to complement Kornheiser instead of Theisman? Those two guys would have been great together. And how about Stephen A. Smith as a sideline reporter? He could just start screaming randomly at different people. It would be like combining the NFL and Pro Wrestling...oh, never mind that, I guess they already tried the XFL with no success...
  • I hate to say it, but Quin Snyder is all but done at Missouri. I do not think they have won a game since I praised the coaching job he had done this year about three or four weeks ago, and his team is showing strong evidence that they have quit on him, getting obliterated by Baylor, yes, Baylor, two nights ago. I am not sure how Quin can get his career back on track (maybe at a smaller school like Matt Doherty is doing at Florida Atlantic), but I hope he does. He is a great guy, and a bright coach, who made some mistakes and has not been able to recover from them.
  • And one more thing about the Snyder situation. Brent Musberger, on whom the odds are 60/40 that he will be implicated in the Tocchet gambling ring, is a weasel and should not be asking Stecve Lavin about whether he will be moving to Missouri. Lavin appropriately said Missouri has a head coach. How would Musberger like it if Katie Couric asked Al Michaels would be taking over Muberger's duties, when he had not been fired yet. Stick to your mediocre announcing and gambling, Brent, you scum sucking maggot.
  • A great web site to check the value of your home (or one you are interested in buying) is www.zillow.com. It uses tax records, sales comps, etc. to estimate the value of any home. From the few I plugged in this morning, it seems fairly accurate, and is pretty interesting.

I am sure Jarvis theory was "bet against the team with the most NY metropolitan area players; they must not be any good, because I never recruited them." Good riddance.

http://www.firequinsnyder.com, this has been around for years, even pre Ricky Clemons (he got something like 28 hours over a summer from 3-4 colleges to qualify for the transfer), never checked it out before, but it was listed in the St. Louis Post website today....tons of comments as you can imagine, but may find some interesting history that you probably dont get to hear down in Dukeland

Great take on Musburger. To quote Dils of old - 'he's HORRIBLE!'

Fire Quinn. This is probably the best thing that could have happened to him, he needed a one way ticket out of Mizzou as fast as possible. Being from Mizzou myself I know some stuff that you may not and will not find on some ridiculous website. Ricky Clemons made Quinn look bad? Do you mean the guy that got busted for beating on a girl and while in jail had repeated conversations with the Athletic Director’s wife. Conversations that were taped. Conversations in which they BOTH agreed that ‘white guy’ needs to go. Conversations that continued even after a judge ordered that they stop talking to each other while Clemons was in custody.
The AD’s wife? Carmento Floyd? The woman who suggested to Clemons that he take “How-not-to-whip-a-white-woman-and-get-caught classes”? The AD’s wife Carmento Floyd? You mean the same woman who had a ‘fire Quinn party’ at the AD’s house… during the season (‘03/04)?
I wonder if she started a website…?

The biggest mistake Quinn made was not walking out on Mizzou when three of his players did at the end of last season. Three white players. Mizzou basketball has more racial tension than the 1970’s Flyers had goons… but I have to give you this Dils, at least Flyers were fun to watch.
