i love it when people smarter than i am say what i can't

we had some varying opinions on the Theismann announcement yesterday. i offer you Chad Finn's thoughts from Touching All the Bases, because he lists three reasons i totally subscribe to, but lack the brain power to articulate:

6. Anyone who's wondering why ESPN would dump Joe Theismann and replace him with Ron Jaworski on "Monday Night Football" is forgetting three important facts. 1) Jaws was nothing short of terrific in Week 1 last season when he and Dick Vermeil were the analysts for the second MNF game of the season-opening doubleheader. 2) He has terrific chemistry with Tony Kornheiser during his guest spots on "PTI," and it's a reasonable gamble to assume that will transfer to the broadcast booth. 3) Theismann was humorless, never shut the **** up, rarely made an insightful point, and contradicted himself constantly. But other than that, he was great.

right. exactly what he said. ;-)
