maybe because he's new to MNF

maybe it's because he's not used to looking directly into the camera

who knows, but he just comes across as completely out of his element. If you notice, he never looks directly into the camera... and when he's not talking, his eyes are doing this creepy drifting thing where he looks like he's zoning out

he also always looks exhausted.

i like him during the games, but when it's pre-game and their doing their thing, he just looks so weird.


pay attention tonight. it's worth a laugh.

I like Tony.

He is much better than Paul Maguire or Mike Patrick.

And Theismann blows.

9/25/2006 1:33:24 PM

hes still the motherfucking man

they need to get wilbon in there as a guest though, that'll loosen him up when he has someone to make fun of other than theismann

Thats prbly b/c he doesnt fly and rides a bus everywhere
and he always looks at/in the camera on PTI unless he is talking to wilbon

9/25/2006 1:36:14 PM

his jokes have more mass appeal than Dennis Miller's but I dunno...I'm undecided

haha if they brought Wilbon on there shit would be wild...luckily Theismann might not be able to talk at all

9/25/2006 1:36:58 PM

the best couple in all of sports

9/25/2006 1:42:57 PM

it's not so much when he's talking to the camera, it's when someone else is. he's just spacing... its fun to watch

I agree. I thought that he really looked uncomfortable when they were doing lead-ins to their telecast

for some reason, he just looks awkward when all three of them are on screen together.

9/25/2006 3:59:28 PM

also, look for his knuckles turning white from squeezing the shit out of the microphone

9/25/2006 4:13:57 PM

probably the most nervous thing he has ever done, MNF is huge, and i would think it would take time to get used to it

oh and Theismann blows

Its probably from doing so much sports radio... he's used to talking without a visual focus. With PTI he's face to face with someone so its easer butin the booth he's side by side and not as conducive to natural eye-contact... plus they spend most of the time off-camera.

Yeah, he really does.

But at least he gives Theismann hell.

it's almost a weekly to almost every other day occurence that Kornheiser makes fun of theismann on MNF.

I love hearing it every time

I remember when I first saw PTI, I was like WTF is this bullshit? Now I am totally addicted.

9/25/2006 9:24:41 PM

TONY = THE MAN!!!

thats why TK looks so uncomfortable

9/26/2006 10:19:32 AM

yeah, Theismann talks about off the wall shit and fucks up half the stuff he says anyway

9/26/2006 12:40:07 PM

he slouches, thats why

9/26/2006 1:02:19 PM

One of the reasons he looks weird is hit posture.

When he has to turn to his side to look at the other announcers he slouches. That makes him look odd cause your used to all other espn poeple with straight backs and squarer than 90 degree shoulders.

9/26/2006 1:36:52 PM

yeah thats kind of what i just said

9/26/2006 1:44:30 PM

he was killing on Theismann all night last night

and Kornheiser absolutely carried the Spike Lee interview, without him in the booth it would have been a complete mess
